ABSTRACT:
A shutter system for covering a wall opening includes a mounting assembly and a retractable/deployable barrier assembly. The mounting assembly includes at least one pair of guide tracks that are mountable on opposing sides of the opening. Each guide track includes inner surfaces that define a guide channel. Two of the inner surfaces oppose one another and at least one of such surfaces includes a protruding member that extends into the guide channel and angles away from an open end thereof. The barrier assembly includes a series of interlocking slats, some or all of which define angled recesses constructed to accommodate unobstructed passage of the slats in the guide channel during deployment and retraction. The recesses in the slats are further constructed to enable the slats to engage the protruding members of the guide tracks in the event that the slats are deflected due to exertion of a displacement force.
