Abstract
Abstract An ornamental shutter formed from a thin sheet of plastic material and the like. Margins of the shutter are formed to provide a rigidifying frame, and portions of the margin are disposed substantially coplanar with the back of the shutter for abutting a wall or surface so that the shutter may be secured by driving a fastener through such portion to the wall.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
A shutter construction for attachment to a wall and the like comprising a one-piece member of thin flexible sheet material of predetermined thickness including a central panel section, and frame sections bounding and integral with said panel section, each of said frame sections comprising spaced inner and outer inverted U-shaped portions providing the shutter construction with a substantial thickness many times greater than the thickness of the sheet material, said inner and outer inverted Ushaped portions extending substantially the full length of their respective frame sections for bounding the entire periphery of said central panel section, and attachment portions substantially coplanar with and defining an inner surface of the shutter construction for abutting a wall against which the shutter construction is to be secured, said attachment portion extending between and integrally joining adjacent legs of the inner and outer U-shaped portions of said frame sections and being sufficiently wide to permit a fastener to be driven therethrough and into said wall.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
161 words
A shutter construction for attachment to a wall and the like comprising a one-piece member of thin flexible sheet material of predetermined thickness including a central panel section, and frame sections bounding and integral with said panel section, each of said frame sections comprising spaced inner and outer inverted U-shaped portions providing the shutter construction with a substantial thickness many times greater than the thickness of the sheet material, said inner and outer inverted Ushaped portions extending substantially the full length of their respective frame sections for bounding the entire periphery of said central panel section, and attachment portions substantially coplanar with and defining an inner surface of the shutter construction for abutting a wall against which the shutter construction is to be secured, said attachment portion extending between and integrally joining adjacent legs of the inner and outer U-shaped portions of said frame sections and being sufficiently wide to permit a fastener to be driven therethrough and into said wall.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
A shutter, as defined in claim 1, wherein each of said U-saped portions includes a pair of leg elements joined by a bight portion having a transverse width substantially less than the length of said leg elements.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
123 words
A shutter construction for attachment to a wall and the like comprising a one-piece member of thin flexible sheet material of predetermined thickness including a central panel section, frame sections bounding and integral with said panel section, said frame sections including an attachment portion substantially coplanar with and defining an inner surface of the shutter construction for abutting a wall against which the shutter construction is to be secured, said attachment portion completely circumscribing the periphery of said central panel section, inner upstanding wall means integrally formed with and joining the outer periphery of said central panel section and the inner marginal edge of said attachment portion, and outer upstanding wall means integrally formed with the outer marginal edge of said attachment portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
123 words
A shutter construction for attachment to a wall and the like comprising a one-piece member of thin flexible sheet material of predetermined thickness including a central panel section, frame sections bounding and integral with said panel section, said frame sections including an attachment portion substantially coplanar with and defining an inner surface of the shutter construction for abutting a wall against which the shutter construction is to be secured, said attachment portion completely circumscribing the periphery of said central panel section, inner upstanding wall means integrally formed with and joining the outer periphery of said central panel section and the inner marginal edge of said attachment portion, and outer upstanding wall means integrally formed with the outer marginal edge of said attachment portion.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
49 words
A shutter construction, as defined in claim 3, wherein said inner upstanding wall means comprises an inverted U-shaped portion having leg portions the otherwise free ends of which are integrally formed with the periphery of said central panel section and the inner marginal edge of said attachment portions respectively.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
44 words
A shutter construction, as defined in claim 3, wherein said outer upstanding wall means comprises an inverted U-shaped portion having leg portions, the otherwise free end of one of said leg portions being integrally formed with the outer marginal edge of said attachment portion.
