ABSTRACT:
A folding closure displaceably supportable in an opening to secure the opening. The closure is comprised of a plurality of elongated vertical panels interconnected along their vertical edges by a hinge assembly to permit the panels to fold in an accordion fashion for storage and to extend in an undulating stretched manner to obstruct the opening. The hinge assembly has a plurality of hinge attaching members to pivotally secure a pair of opposed panel connecting posts thereto. Each of the connecting posts is detachably securable to the hinge attaching members. The connecting posts further have a connecting slot for securing panel elements thereto. The improvement resides in that the connecting slot has an extension protective flange at least on an outer side portion of the connecting post to overlap and conceal an attachment member of a connector strip removably secured in the connecting slot. The improvement also comprises the detachable securement being provided by a member which is integrally formed and disposed rearwardly of the connecting slot and has a connecting element extending from a rear wall of the connecting slot to provide a narrow width hinge assembly when in the folded stored accordion fashion.
