A locking system for a rolling shutter that includes a plurality of rolling shutter slats, comprises a guide track with a U-shaped guide channel having a channel base, and first and second channel walls. A lock bar is coupled to the rolling shutter slats. In a locked position, the lock bar extends transverse to the channel base. The lock bar has a notch covered by a breakaway wall that is aligned with the channel base in the locked position. The lock bar may be slidably received in a sleeve that is positioned in the guide channel to increase resistance to torsional forces on the locking system. In an alternative embodiment, the locking system comprises a unitary extruded body, a lock bar, and a handle. A longitudinal channel is formed integrally in the body for receiving the lock bar and handle. The lock bar is slidable in the channel between an extended locked position and a retracted unlocked position. The handle is positioned in the channel to stop the retraction of the lock bar at the unlocked position.

A hood for a roll up shutter is provided wherein the hood configured to be transported in a flat or rolled up configuration and assembled upon delivery. The hood includes a sheet having a first surface and a second surface and at least one indentation formed on at least one of the first surface or the second surface, the indentation configured to facilitate bending at the at least one indentation wherein after delivery, the sheet is bent at the at least one indentation so as to form the hood.

A mounting arrangement comprised of a first component for attachment to a support, and a second component supportable by the first component. The first component has a first side which is in use distal from the second component and provides a supporting portion spaced from the first side. The second component provides an engagement portion for engagement with the supporting portion. The mounting arrangement provides a restraining part moveable between a restraining configuration for restraining disengagement of the engagement portion from the supporting portion, and a release configuration for allowing disengagement of the engagement portion from the supporting portion. The mounting arrangement further provides a securing component which is insertable between the second component and the first side of the first component to restrict disengagement of the engagement portion from the supporting portion.

The enclosure comprises: a partition (1) of panels (2) provided with longitudinal grooves (3) and a space for mounting a door (6); and a door (6) comprising: an upper box (7); and two vertical posts (9) with vertical guides (30) for moving a closing element (10), in addition to longitudinal channels (15) defining passages, with the longitudinal grooves (3), for housing fastening elements (16, 17) that can be vertically moved between a position wherein the door (6) is held and a position wherein the door (6) is released. The door comprises means for ensuring peripheral tightness in the closed position.

A roll-up wall system including a frame having a longitudinal axis, a first roller disposed in the frame, a second roller disposed in the frame, and a tube disposed in the frame. A screen may be connected to the tube. The screen may be supported by the first roller and the second roller. Further, the screen may be movable between a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the screen is rolled around the tube which is spaced a first distance from the first roller. In the second configuration, the screen forms a barrier adjacent the frame, and the tube is spaced a second distance from the first roller. The second distance may be less than the first distance. Also, the roll-up wall system may be an acoustic barrier which achieves a Sound Transmission Class rating ranging from approximately 31 STC to approximately 53 STC.

A retractable screen that is integrated within a wall cavity and fixed to an internal door frame. The screen has a base frame mounted to the support. The base frame comprises a lower elongate member a U shaped upper elongate member and two U shaped side elongate members each having an upper part and a lower part respectively fixed to the upper and lower elongate members. A lower guide track is mounted to the lower elongate member. An upper guide track assembly is mounted within the upper elongate member. The upper guide track assembly includes an elongate insert member with an upper guide track mounted therein and the elongate insert member is configured for insert installation into the upper elongate member. The side elongate members house a roller assembly for a screen.

A roll-up wall system including a frame having a longitudinal axis, a first roller disposed in the frame, a second roller disposed in the frame, and a tube disposed in the frame. A screen may be connected to the tube. The screen may be supported by the first roller and the second roller. Further, the screen may be movable between a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the screen is rolled around the tube which is spaced a first distance from the first roller. In the second configuration, the screen forms a barrier adjacent the frame, and the tube is spaced a second distance from the first roller. The second distance may be less than the first distance. Also, the roll-up wall system may be an acoustic barrier which achieves a Sound Transmission Class rating ranging from approximately 31 STC to approximately 53 STC.

A system including a wall-mount hook and a perimeter pocket. The wall-mount hook is attached to a wall and includes a wall contacting portion having a top and a bottom, and a upward facing hook between the top and the bottom of the wall contacting portion. The pocket includes a top portion attached to a first and second leg on opposite ends of the top portion extending downwardly. The pocket further includes a wall attachment region including a downward facing hook and a ledge on an exterior surface of the pocket. The first leg contacts the wall, the bottom of the wall contacting portion slots into the ledge of the wall attachment region, and the downward facing hook of the wall attachment region rests on the upward facing hook of the wall-mount hook. The connection between the wall-mount hook and the pocket constrains lateral and vertical movement of the pocket.

A header assembly and method for installing built-in retractable screens. A header assembly is installed after the structure's framing is completed but before the wall finishes are applied. The header assembly includes opposing end boxes and a header board. The side tracks from the screen unit are installed so that the upper ends open into the bottom of the end boxes. This defines a cavity customized to the selected screen unit. With the header assembly and side tracks in place, the wall surfaces can be applied around them. After the wall surfaces are completed, the screen unit is placed inside the header assembly through an access opening, which is then covered with a cover panel. Thus, the present invention eliminates the need to apply wall finishes around an undefined space, which requires multiple measurements and often results in expensive mistakes in the finished cavity dimensions.
