  • Shutter assemblies particularly adapted for use on yachts
    Patent number: 5595536
    Abstract: A shutter assembly for an opening adapted to admit light and/or air. The shutter assembly utilizes laterally spaced base members that define a base plane which extends across the opening. The base members may be relatively angularly disposed or parallel. A plurality of parallel, shutter-slats extends between the base members, and each shutter-slat has a longitudinal reference axis, a mounting axis and an input axis. Each mounting axis is disposed in transverse, parallel, spaced relation with respect to the longitudinal reference axis, and the mounting axis of each shutter-slat lies within the base plane. Pivot members secure each shutter-slat to the base members for pivotal movement of each shutter-slat about its mounting axis. The input axis of each shutter-slat is disposed in transversely spaced, parallel relation with respect to the mounting axis.
