ABSTRACT:
A combined movable shutter and awning associated with a door assembly, doorway, or the like, in which the shutter is a roller shutter capable of extension and retraction movable between positions providing a security closure for the door assembly, doorway, or the like, when the guiding trackway assemblies are moved to a position alongside the doorway and providing an awning when the guiding trackway assemblies at each side of the shutter are moved to an outwardly extending relationship to the door assembly, doorway, or the like, and supported in a manner to provide an awning supported in a manner which enables access to the door assembly, doorway, or the like. In one embodiment, the outer end of the combined shutter and awning is supported by vertically disposed support members when in the awning mode so that access to the door assembly, doorway, or the like, is available by persons approaching the door assembly from either side thereof as well as from directly in front of the door assembly with the support structure being collapsible when the combined shutter and awning is positioned in a shutter mode so that operation of the roller shutter is not altered by the presence of the supporting structure. In other embodiments, the trackway assemblies are supported by telescopic inclined braces disposed above or below the awning when in the awning mode.
