  • Shutter panel with an automatic louver closure assembly and related damping features
    Patent number: 12188296
    Abstract: A shutter panel includes a frame, and a louver coupled to the frame for rotation about a longitudinal axis across a given angular travel range of the louver. The shutter panel also includes a louver closure assembly operable to automatically rotate the louver into a closed position when the louver is moved into a specific angular range of louver positions within its angular travel range. For instance, in an exemplary implementation, the louver closure assembly is configured to linear translation into rotational movement of the louver.
