Definitions

  • the present invention relates to eavestrough covers.
  • eavestrough covers are well known in the prior art and there have been many proposals for different types of shields.
  • the purpose of the shield is essentially to permit passage of rainwater from the roof to the eavestrough while protecting the drain from extraneous foreign matter such as leaves and the like.
  • eavestrough covers Different approaches have been taken to the design of eavestrough covers. Some of the proposed eavestrough covers are secured directly to the eavestrough while others are secured to the wall or roof of the adjacent structure.
  • an eavestrough cover for use with an eavestrough having an eavestrough recess defined by an eavestrough front wall, eavestrough top wall and a flange extending downwardly from said eavestrough top wall, the eavestrough cover comprising a central horizontal portion having first and second sides, a plurality of apertures formed in the central horizontal portion, the first side having a structure for engaging the eavestrough recess, and a downwardly extending wall formed along said second side of the eavestrough cover.
  • an eavestrough and an eavestrough cover therefore, the eavestrough comprising an eavestrough rear wall, an eavestrough bottom wall, and an eavestrough front wall, an eavestrough top wall and a flange extending downwardly from the eavestrough top wall, an eavestrough recess being defined by the eavestrough top wall, the eavestrough front wall and the flange, the eavestrough cover comprising, a central horizontal portion having first and second sides, a plurality of apertures formed in the central horizontal portion, the first side being retained within the eavestrough recess, a downwardly extending wall formed along the second side of the eavestrough cover, and at least one clip member having a first wall for securement to an adjacent structure, and a second wall secured to the second horizontal portion.
  • the eavestrough of the present invention may be placed on the eavestrough such that a first side near the front wall of the eavestrough engages in a recess formed therein. Adjacent the rear wall of the eavestrough, there is provided a downwardly extending wall from the eavestrough cover which preferably engages or rests on the bottom wall of the eavestrough. The arrangement is such that the drip edge may fit between the rear wall of the eavestrough and the downwardly extending wall of the eavestrough cover. A plurality of apertures are provided in the downwardly extending wall to permit water flow into the main eavestrough portion.
  • a clip member is utilized to secure the eavestrough cover to the adjacent facia.
  • the clip member may take different forms as will be discussed in the detailed description of the invention.
  • FIG. 1 to 4 a first version of an eavestrough cover and which cover is generally designated by reference numeral 10.
  • Eavestrough cover 10 is designed to be used with an eavestrough generally designated by reference numeral 12 and shown in dot dash lines.
  • Eavestrough 12 has a rear wall 14, a bottom wall 16, and a front wall generally designated by reference numeral 18.
  • Front wall 18 has three sections - a lower vertical section 20, an arcuate intermediate section 22, and an upper vertical section 24.
  • a recess 30 is thus defined by upper vertical section 24, top wall 26 and flange 28.
  • Eavestrough cover 10 has a central foraminious horizontal portion 32 having apertures 34 formed therein.
  • a first side 36 (adjacent the front of the eavestrough) has a structure comprising an inner substantially vertical wall section 38, a lower substantially horizontal wall section 40 which passes through bight 42 to an upper substantially horizontal wall section 44.
  • the structure terminates in an outer vertical flange 46 which as may be seen in the drawings, is slightly spaced from inner vertical wall section 38 for reasons which will become apparent hereinbelow.
  • a second side structure 50 is located proximate rear wall 14 of eavestrough 12 and is formed by the central foraminious portion 32 passing through bight 52 to a lower horizontal wall section 54.
  • a bight 56 joins lower horizontal wall section 54 and an upper horizontal wall section 58 which then terminates in a rear vertical wall 60.
  • Rear vertical wall 60 includes an upper section 62 which is separated from a lower section 66 by a bend line 64.
  • Lower section 66 has an inturned flange 68 at the end thereof.
  • a plurality of apertures 65 are provided to permit water flow into the main portion of the eavestrough.
  • Clip 74 has a vertical section 76 with an aperture 78 therein and which is designed to receive a fastening device 86. Extending diagonally outwardly from vertical section 76 is a diagonal wall 80 which passes through a bight 82 to a lower horizontal wall 84. As may be seen, a recess 88 is formed between diagonal wall 80 and lower horizontal wall 84 so as to receive lower horizontal section 54 and upper horizontal section 58 of the second side structure.
  • first side 36 is placed within recess 30 of eavestrough 12 with outer vertical flange 46 abutting vertical wall section 24 to bias the eavestrough cover 10.
  • second side 50 is retained in place by clip 74.
  • Retaining member 95 is then used to secure clip 74 in position.
  • the structure is such that a drip edge can fit between rear vertical wall 60 of eavestrough cover 10 and rear wall 14 of eavestrough 12.
  • FIG. 5 A second embodiment of the invention is illustrated in Figures 5 to 7 .
  • similar reference numerals in the 100's are employed for similar components.
  • reference numeral 112 which has a rear wall 114, a bottom wall 116, and a front wall generally designated by reference numeral 118 as three sections - a lower vertical section 120, an arcuate intermediate section 122 and an upper vertical section 124.
  • reference numeral 118 At the upper end of upper vertical section 124, there is a top wall 126 which terminates with an inwardly and downwardly extending flange 128 to thereby define a recess 130.
  • Eavestrough cover 110 has a first side 136 substantially identical to that described with respect to the first embodiment and thus will not be described in detail herein. However, it will be noted that second side 150 connects directly to rear vertical wall 160.
  • clip 174 has a vertical section 176 and a lower horizontal 190 with a plurality of fingers 192 extending diagonally downwardly. Fingers 192 are designed an arranged to fit within apertures 134 of central horizontal portion 132 to thereby retain the eavestrough cover 110 in position.
  • retaining member 180 is then used to attach the eavestrough and eavestrough cover to the adjacent facia.
