Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0952298A1] The shutter is provided with a reduction mechanism (10) for the movement of a pulley (9) driven by a traction cord or chain rotating the shutter winding shaft (3). The ends of the shaft are supported in bearings (6) connected to support cheeks (7). The bearing is defined by a tubular end (11) on which the corresponding end of the shaft is mounted to rotate. This tubular part defines an internal housing (12) for the reduction mechanism.
