Abstract
A motorized shutter assembly includes a frame having a pair of parallel spaced frame members, louver slats extending between the frame members and having shafts extending into and pivotably seated in the frame members. A coupling is engaged with the louver slats to produce concurrent pivotal movement of the louver slats in either direction. An adapter on one of the frame members has a drive portion engaged with the end of a louver slat and is rotatable to effect pivotal movement of the slats in either direction. The adapter is engaged with a reversible drive motor assembly to effect rotation of said adapter and the adapter also desirably provides a clutch to protect the drive motor assembly.
