Qwik pin

摘要

A Qwik Pin is disclosed which allows repair of broken louvers of traditional fixed and movable louver shutters without requiring disassembly of the entire shutter. Housings with spring-loaded pins are installed into both sides of the shutter frame either in drilled holes or in the existing grooves that held the broken louver. By depressing the spring-loaded pins a new louver can be installed and is then secured by the pins protruding into holes in the ends of the louver. The louver can be fixed using a two-pin configuration of the invention or can be movable using the single pin configuration. This provides for quick replacement of broken louvers at the home or job site without disassembly, ungluing or using jigs to reassemble the shutter.
