Storm shutter retainer assembly
| Details |
Inventors: Golen, Selig;
Assignee:
Primary Examiner: Friedman; Carl D.
Assistant Examiner: Yip; Winnie
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Malloy & Malloy, P.A.
A storm shutter retainer assembly featuring a header structure incorporating an elongated retaining channel defined by front, rear, and top flanges integrally attached to one another in at least partially surrounding relation to the retaining channel and defining the boundaries thereof wherein the upper peripheral edge of a conventional metallic or like storm shutter is retained within the channel. A connecting assembly includes a connector element mounted on and extending the rear flange at a particular upwardly angled configuration so as to resist upwardly directed cantilever forces exerted on the header structure by the storm shutter during severely adverse weather conditions. |
|
DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention is directed towards a storm shutter retainer assembly wherein generally conventionally constructed storm shutters made of metal or like high strength material and also incorporating an alternating ribbed construction are mounted in removably attached relation to a building structure in overlying and protective relation to a door, window, or like opening.
Storm shutters of this type of course are used to protect the doors, windows, etc.
under severe adverse weather conditions.
Accordingly, their secure attachment in the protecting position is important.
The present invention incorporates as an important part of the storm shutter retainer assembly a header structure.
The header structure includes a rear flange, a front flange spaced from the rear flange, and a top flange integrally connected to and serving to interconnect the rear and front flanges in spaced generally parallel relation to one another.
The front, rear and top flanges at least partially surround what may be referred to as a retaining channel.
The header of course has an elongated configuration and the aforementioned retaining channel extends along the entire length of the header channel wherein the boundaries thereof, as set forth above, are defined by the rear flange, front flange, and top flange.
This channel is specifically dimensioned, configured, and overall structurally adapted to receive the upper peripheral edge of the storm shutter therein.
This header structure will differ from existing structures in other related art storm shutter retaining assemblies by virtue of the fact that a mounting flange existing in the prior art and extending upwardly from the top flange and being coplanar with the rear flange is non-existent.
Again, in the prior art, such mounting flanges used to support and have secured thereto a plurality of connectors such as screws or the like.
Such connectors, in the prior art, extend perpendicularly through the mounting flange and into the outer wall of the building structure on which the subject storm shutter is mounted
