(57) The present invention relates to the field of shutter panels and more particularly
provides a functionally organized system of profiles for a reliable, low cost shutter
panel assembly process. The pivotable shutter assembly of the invention comprises
in combination as illustratively shown in Fig. 7a, a single elongated hinge profile
portion (1) extending along the vertical length of each one of the panels and of the
mounting member (3), said elongated hinge profile portion (1) being provided with
at least one pair of adjacent uniformly oriented circular sectors (1a,1b), and preferably
including a third circular sector (1d), a frame profile portion (2) for surrounding
and supporting each one of the panels in a rectangular configuration and presenting
a pair of annular recesses (2a,2b) at one side thereof for receiving any of said pair
of adjacent, uniformly oriented circular sectors (1a,1b) of said elongated hinge profile
portion (1), and a mounting member profile portion (3) presenting at least one annular
recess (31) for receiving any of said pair of adjacent, uniformly oriented circular
sectors (1a,1b) of said elongated hinge profile portion (1), wherein the pivotable
shutter panel assembly is constructed using one said elongated hinge profile portion
(1) for each pair of adjacent panels and engaging each one of said pair of adjacent,
uniformly oriented circular sectors (1a,1b) of the elongated hinge profile portion
(1) within each one of opposing annular recesses (2a,2b) of the frame profile portion
(2) of said pair of adjacent panels and using one said elongated hinge profile portion
(1) to connect one of said pair of annular recesses (2a,2b) of the frame profile portion
(2) of the first one of said panels to said annular recess (31) of the mounting member
profile portion (3).
