Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2540950A1] The invention relates to a roller shutter (1), in particular for covering window and/or doors openings, comprising side guides (31), in which a shutter (4) is slidably disposed, said shutter (4) comprising a number of elongated, profiled laths (41) connected together by means of elastic, elongated couplers (42), wherein laths (41) are provided at their elongated edges with cylindrical, elongated recesses (412) with mouths (413), the width (S) of which is smaller than diameter (D) of the recesses (412), and said elongated couplers (42) comprise cylindrical, elongated parts (422), disposed in cylindrical recesses (412) of the laths (41) they connect, and elongated connecting parts (421) the width (s) of which is smaller than diameter (d) of the cylindrical part (422) and smaller than the width (S) of the mouth (413). In order to improve functional properties and durability of the roller shutter, cylindrical parts (422) of the couplers (42) are made of material having the Shore hardness exceeding by at least 50° ShA the Shore hardness of said connecting parts (421) of the couplers (42), and said couplers (42) are formed in a coextrusion process.
