FLEXIBLE SHUTTER on CURTAIN.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented June 29, 1909.
Application filed June 1,' 1908. Serial No. 436,022.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ALBERT RUSH, a citizen of the United States, residing at C0- lumbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Flexible Shutters or- Curtains, of which the following is a specitication.
The principal object of this invention is to provide a flexible shutter or curtain composed of jointed slats or sections in which either, side can be used as the ex osed or weather side, and so that either side, when the shutter or curtain is properly shall shed water effectually.
The invention consists in the construction hereinafter described and particularly pointhung,
In the accompanying drawings in which one embodiment of the invention is illuslratedl*igure 1 is a combined vertical section and isometric perspective of a portion of a curtain or shutter acc'ording to the invention; Fig. 2 is a vertical section showing a shutter hung with a smooth side as the weather side; Fig. 3 is a similar section showing the shutter inverted and hung with the joint containing side as the weather side.
The slats or sections are preferably made of strips of sheet metal with'their lon itudinal edges bent as shown to form tie jointing members. 4: designates the body of the slat. The opposite edges of the strip are bent to form shoulders 5 and 6 in parallel planes inclined to the general plane of the body ofthe slat. These shoulders are extended respectively toward the acute an le made by the shoulder with the plane of t e slat in the form of rolls, as seen respectively at 5 and 6, the roll 5 being of larger di-. ameter than the roll 6, so that the latter can he slid longitudinally into the former to eifect an interlocking connection and prevent their lateral separation when the shutter is j flexed as in rolling it up on a roller. It will be noted that the rolls 5 and 6 are formed by bending the metal tothe side toward which the shoulders are inclined. From I this construction it will be observed that ample flexibility of the shutter is provided for; and also that the thrust of the slats to gether is borne by the inclined shoulders and especially when the edges of the shutter are confined in guiding channels, as is usual in the class of shutters to which this invention belongs. It will also be observed that by inversion either side is adapted to effectually shed water and can be used as the weather side, as illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3. Endlocks, as seen at 7, to prevent longitudinal movement of the slats on each other can be secured by rivets or otherwise to the ends of alternate slats.
\Vhat I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: i
1. A flexible shutter or curtain constructed chiefly of slate or sections having their opposite edges formed with shoulders parallelly inclined to the general plane of the slats, and with interlocking extensions of said shoulders bent respectively toward the acute and obtuse angles formed by the shoulders with the plane of the slat.
2. A flexible shutter or curtain constructed chiefly of slats or sections having their opposite edges formed with shoulders parallelly inclined to the general plane of the slats, said shoulders being extended and bent respectively toward the acute and obtuse angles formed by the shoulders with the plane of the slats to form interlocking rolls,-
substantially as described.
3. slat for the construction of flexible shutters or curtains consisting of a strip of sheet metal having its opposite edges bent to form parallel shoulders inclined to the gen.- eral plane of the slat, said shoulders being extended and bent respectively toward the acute and obtuse angles formed by the shoulders with the plane of the slat to form rolls adapted to interlock with rolls of similarly formed slats.
