CA2226643A1 - "screw-nail" for eavestrough easy-clean system - Google Patents

Abstract

An Easy - Clean System (3) for an eavestrough (6) with fasteners (12) at the eaves of a roof (9) on a building (7) comprising a Free-Flo Unit (1) connected to a downpipe (4) in the eavestrough (6) so that the system (3) will extend vertically down along an exterior wall of the building (7) and carry rainwater away from the roof (9). A facility (2) within the system (3) is for separating any dirt and debris (10) that falls into the rainwater in the eavestrough (6), so that the rainwater will flow without obstruction out through the facility (2)and out the downpipe (4)

Description

Description of the Prior Act Numerous drainage devices have been provided in prior art that are adapted to carry off rainwater or sewage from one location to another. While these units may be suitable for the particular purpose to which they address, they would not be as suitable for the purposes of the present invention as heretofore described.

Summary of the Invention A primary object of the present invention is to provide an easy clean system for an eavestrough that will overcome the shortcomings of the prior art devices.
Another object is to provide an easy clean system for an eavestrough that will allow dirt and debris to flow without obstruction from an eavestrough using the special screw-nail on a roof of a building into a down pipe, so that the water can exit freely therefrom.
An additional object is to provide a fastener to hold eavestroughs that will not interfere with the flow of rainwater and debris while being easy to install.

A further object is to provide a simple device that can be used on new or existing eavestroughs.
A still further objective is to provide a screw-nail fastener for an eavestrough that is economical in cost to manufacture.
Further objects of the invention will appear as the description proceeds.
To the accomplishment of the above related objects, this invention may be embodied in the form illustrated in the accompagning drawings, attention being called to the fact, however, that the drawings are illustrative only, and that changes may be made in the specific construction illustrated and described within the scopes of the appended claims.

SPECIFICATIONS
Detailed Description Of The Preferred Embodiments Turning now descriptively to the drawings in which similar reference characters denote similar elements throughout the several views, FIGURE 3 to 5 illustrate an easy clean system for an eavestrough.

The eavestrough 6 with a standard nail 1 S is at roof 9 on a buillding 7 clogged with dirt and debris l 0 during a rainstorm 11.
The Easy - Clean System 3 consists of a Free Flow Unit 1 connected to the eavestrough unit 6 with the screw-nails 12 which is connected to the downpipe 4 which extends vertically down along an exterior wall 7 and carries rainwater away from roof 9.
A facility 2 is for separating any dirt and debris 10 that fall into the rainwater in the eavestrough 6,with the screw-nails 12 which eliminates obstruction to the dirt and debris which will flow without obstruction into the Free-Flo 1 and down in the downpipe 4.
_g_ Brief Description Of The Drawing Figures Various other objects, features and attendant advantages of the present invention will become more fully appreciated as the same becomes better understood when considered in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like references characters designate the same or similar parts throughout the several views, and wherein;
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of the prior art, showing a standard eavestrough with standard nails and leader on a building clogged up with dirt and debris during a rainstorm.
FIGURE 2 is an enlarged perspective view of the prior art, showing the dirt and debris in the standard eavestrough with standard nails and leader in greater detail.

Claims (4)

1. An Easy Clean System for an eavestrough at the eaves of a roof on a building comprising:
a) a fastener that will not obstruct the flow of dirt and debris.
b) An aperture with a large hole in the eavestrough. So that said rainwater and debris will be carried without obstruction down vertically along an exterior wall of the building away from the roof;
c) Means within said downpipe for separating any dirt and debris that falls into the rainwater in the eavestrough, so that the rainwater will flow without obstruction out through said downpipe.

2. An easy clean system for an eavestrough as recited in Claim 1, wherin said downpipe includes:

a) A special fastener for eavestroughs and b) Means for connecting a top end unit called the free flow aperture to the eavestrough, so that the rainwater can flow out through the aperture from the eavestrough and into said elongated pipe.

3. An easy clean system for an eavestrough as recited in Claim 2, wherein said connecting means is a portion of the eavestrough extending to the aperture to the top end of said. elongated pipe.

4. An easy clean system for an eavestrough as recited 1, wherein said separating means is a filter partition extending vertically within said facility to divide said facility into two passageways, so that when the rainwater with the dirt and debris enters said facility the dirt and debris will enter into said first passageway and be collected therein, while said rainwater will enter into said second passageway through said filter partition and exit out from a bottom end of said facility.
