(54)	Mounting for a roller assembly

(57) A mounting is provided for securing a roller shutter at an appropriate opening, such as in a cabinet. The mounting comprises a pair of brackets for securing on respective walls of the cabinet interior near the top of the opening. The roller shutter is mounted to each bracket 1 by way of an arm 20 which has an aperture 28 for engaging a spindle of a roller core. Each arm 20 is pivotally mounted in an aperture 10 in a bracket. The arm 20 is capable of tilting under the influence of the weight of shutter drawn from the roller so as to displace the core of the roller towards the opening (8 or 8'). In this way, the shutter assembly may be used effectively without the need for a separate guide roller for guiding passage of shutter from a storage roller to the opening.
