An egress system for a motorized rolling shutter, comprises an articulated shutter curtain that is raised or lowered by winding or unwinding the curtain about a rotatable cylinder. A planetary gear system comprises a sun gear, planet gears, a planet carrier, and a ring gear. Rotation of the planet carrier is driven by a motor, and ring gear is rotationally coupled to the cylinder. In motorized operation, the rotation of the sun gear is arrested by a brake, such that the rotation of the planet carrier causes the planet gears to rotate, which drive the rotation of the ring gear and cylinder. When the motor is inoperable, the brake is released to permit rotation of the sun gear, which permits the planet gears to rotate without rotation of the planet carrier, and allows the manual rotation of the ring gear and cylinder.

A locking system for a rolling shutter having a plurality of shutter slats and a guide track with a U-shaped guide channel having a channel base, comprises a lock bar coupled to the shutter slats with a locked position extending transverse to the channel base. A lock bar notch covered by a breakaway wall 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. Alternatively, the locking system comprises a unitary extruded body with a longitudinal channel, and a lock bar, and handle received in the channel. The lock bar is slidable in the channel between an extended locked position and a retracted unlocked position, with the handle positioned in the channel to stop the retraction of the lock bar at the unlocked position.

A base slat pry stopper, such as a base slat locking bracket, for locking a rolling shutter curtain covering an opening of a structure is disclosed. The base slat pry stopper may include a bracket base plate mounted to an opening bottom wall on an interior side of the shutter curtain, and a base slat engagement portion extending upward from the bracket base plate and above a top surface of the opening bottom wall. When the shutter curtain is unrolled to cover the opening, the base slat engagement portion engages the base slat to prevent the base slat from deflecting upward away from the opening bottom wall when a force applied from an exterior side of the shutter curtain causes the base slat to deflect toward the interior side of the structure and the shutter curtain. The base slat pry stopper may be permanently or removably installed.

The present invention is directed to a rolling protective shutter having an improved stopping mechanism that prevents the shutter from completely rolling up onto the shutter support member, and that is hidden within the shutter housing or the side tracks. The stopping mechanism may include a limit switch operatively connected to a drive motor to detect a disposition of the base slat of the shutter curtain proximate the shutter housing. The limit switch may actuate to turn off the drive motor at an appropriate position to retain the base slat within the side tracks and to prevent damage to the shutter housing due to engagement by the base slat.
