Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2006509135
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A storm protector ( 20 ) to be attachable over a window ( 21 ) or other opening of a building ( 22 ) includes a header ( 26 ), a bottom sill ( 25 ) and side frames ( 23, 24 ) extending between the ends of the header ( 26 ) and the sill ( 25 ). The header ( 26 ) carries a tube ( 53 ) which has one end of a curtain assembly ( 27 ) attached thereto. The curtain assembly ( 27 )is biased by a spring ( 54 ) to be normally coiled on the tube ( 53 ), but the curtain assembly ( 27 ) may be manually moved along the frames ( 23, 24 ) to the sill ( 25 ) to cover the window opening ( 21 ). A bar ( 31 ) is formed at the other end of the curtain assembly ( 27 ), and the bar ( 31 ) carries a guide and lock assembly ( 110 ) which rides in and can engage at least one of the side frames ( 23, 24 ) to guide and selectively hold the curtain assembly ( 27 ) at any selected position along the side frames ( 23, 24 ). A tensioning assembly ( 32 ) is positioned in the header ( 26 ) and, without disassembling the protector ( 20 ), it may be accessed to adjust the tension of the spring ( 54 ). The header ( 26 ) includes a sealing surface ( 50 ), the sill ( 25 ) includes a sealing surface ( 105 ) and each side frame ( 23, 24 ) includes a sealing surface ( 89 ). A force upon the curtain assembly ( 27 ) causes it to engage the sealing surfaces ( 50, 89, 105 ) to provide a full perimeter seal around the window opening ( 21 ).
