Abstract
A shutter, as used on fire engines, consists of a number of laths (13), which are hingedly connected together and can be drawn across an opening by handle and can be latched in the closed condition by a latch. The handle, which extends across the shutter, being formed by the mounting bracket (12), which is mounted on a lath (13), and the latch member (11) which is hingedly connected to the mounting bracket (12), thereby reducing the number of parts required and the need for separate opening and closing handles. The latch member (11) co-operates with a keeper (18) which is mounted on the structure (10) which surrounds the opening thereby latching the shutter in position.
