Definitions
- the present invention relates to an eavestrough or rain gutter and more particularly, it relates to cover assemblies for use with the eavestrough.
- gutters or eavestroughs are known in the art as is the use of a cover member or gutter guard which is designed to protect the gutter eavestrough from the entry of extraneous foreign material such as leaves and the like.
- the prior art also teaches the use of gutter guards which constitute a physical barrier across the top of the eavestrough with apertures within the gutter guard to permit the passage of rain while simultaneously preventing the passage of the extraneous material.
- gutter guards which constitute a physical barrier across the top of the eavestrough with apertures within the gutter guard to permit the passage of rain while simultaneously preventing the passage of the extraneous material.
- Many different types of gutter guards have been used; however, the use of retrofitted gutter guards for eavestrough or gutters which are already installed has posed a problem in the industry.
- eavestroughs generally comes in two different types.
- a first type is commercially known as a K type of eavestrough and constitutes a flat bottom wall, a substantially vertical rear wall and an arcuately configured front wall.
- the K type of eavestrough is usually attached to the facia of the building.
- the second type of eavestrough is known as the half round and utilizes an arcuate or substantially semi-spherical configuration wherein there is a front wall, as rear wall and a bottom wall, all of which are arcuate. Frequently, these eavestroughs are installed so that they are partially under the soffit of the building.
- a cover assembly for an eavestrough for an eavestrough, the eavestrough having a front wall, a rear wall, and a bottom wall
- the cover assembly comprising a cover having a plurality of apertures, the cover having first and second longitudinally extending sides, a flange extending outwardly from the second side of the foraminious cover, and a support member secured to the foraminious cover, the support member extending downwardly from the cover and being of sufficient depth to contact the bottom wall of an eavestrough.
- an eavestrough and a cover assembly having a front wall, a rear wall and a bottom wall
- the cover assembly comprising a cover having a plurality of apertures therein, the cover having first and second longitudinally extending sides, sealing flange extending outwardly from the second side of the cover, and a support member secured to the cover, the support member extending downwardly from the cover and contacting the bottom wall of the eavestrough.
- distal end or proximal end refers that end remote from the main body structure of the member being referred to.
- the cover assembly of the present invention is primarily intended to be a retrofit for existing eavestroughs which are already mounted on a structure.
- the problem with providing such retrofits is that often the roof eave extends over the eavestrough thus limiting access thereto.
- the cover assembly of the present invention is adaptable so as to be readily insertable into the pre-existing eavestrough and at the same time, adjustability of the structure is provided to allow for different degrees of overlap of the roof.
- the cover assembly of the present invention is primarily intended for use with eavestroughs of the half round variety although it will be understood that it can equally well be adapted for use with other available gutter forms or eavestrough forms.
- the support member utilized in the cover assembly is secured to the cover and is designed to support the cover in a desired position. To this end, the support member will rest on the bottom wall of the eavestrough.
- the support member is in the form of a V-shaped portion with an arm extending outwardly from a distal end of one of the legs forming the V-shaped portion.
- the V-shaped portion preferably has an arcuate section which contacts the bottom wall of the eavestrough and slides along inside the eavestrough when being inserted into the eavestrough.
- the arcuate area may have a friction reducing portion to allow for easier sliding.
- the friction reducing portion may provide a material coated on the support member or alternatively, a mechanical mechanism such as a bearing or roller may be utilized.
- the support member is secured to the cover and this may be done in several different fashions.
- a preferred arrangement is where a distal end of one of the legs fits within a recess formed in the cover with the other end being secured by means of prongs which fit within the apertures of the cover.
- This arrangement is particularly advantageous in that the cover can be positioned in a desired location depending on the location where the prongs engage the cover.
- the adjustment of the length of one of the legs may be achieved by providing one or more U-shaped projections in the leg to allow the installer to vary the length of the leg through compression of one or more of the U-shaped projections.
- the support member may be formed of any suitable material including a sheet metallic material such as stainless steel, copper, etc. or alternatively a plastic material.
- Eavestrough 10 is of the type known as a half round eavestrough.
- Eavestrough 10 includes a front wall 12, a rear wall 14, and an arcuate bottom wall 16.
- rear wall 14 Extending from the top of rear wall 14 is an inwardly directed rear wall flange 18. At the upper portion of front wall 12, there is provided a front wall arcuate segment 20 which terminates in a front wall flange 22 which is directed inwardly towards front wall arcuate segment 20.
- the cover assembly includes a cover which is generally designated by reference numeral 26.
- Cover 26 has an essential planar portion 28 which has a plurality of apertures 29 formed therein to permit the passage of rainwater through cover 26 while inhibiting any passage of debris into eavestrough 10.
- Central planar portion 28 has a first longitudinally extending side generally designated by reference numeral 30.
- a first arcuate segment 32 has a generally C-shaped configuration.
- a second arcuate segment 36 which lies adjacent first arcuate segment 32.
- a third arcuate segment 38 is configured to have the same outline as front wall arcuate segment 20 of eavestrough 10.
- Third arcuate segment 38 terminates in an end segment 40.
- a second longitudinally extending side 42 has a diagonally upwardly extending segment 44 which then passes through bight 46 to continue with a downwardly and inwardly extending segment 48. Subsequently, there is provided an upwardly and diagonally extending segment 50 which is spaced from downwardly extending segment 48 for reasons which will become apparent hereinbelow.
- a downwardly extending segment 52 terminates in an end segment 54.
- a sealing flange 56 is provided and is held between the U-shaped portion formed by segments 48 and 50.
- Cover 26 is supported by a plurality of supports 60.
- Each support 60 has a V-shaped portion which is defined by legs 62 and 64.
- An arcuate bottom section 66 seats on bottom wall 16 of eavestrough 10.
- Arcuate section 66 may be provided with friction reducing means such as a coating thereon.
- Leg 62 as may be seen in Figure 2 , is provided with a hooked section 58 which is designed to fit within a recess formed by segment 50, 52 and 54.
- Leg 64 merges with an arm 70 which has, at the end thereof, a plurality of offset prongs 72.
- Prongs 72 are designed to fit within apertures 29 of cover 26 to secure the same.
- FIG. 8 it will be seen that hooked section 68 fits within a recess defined by upwardly extending segment 50, downwardly extending segment 52 and end segment 54. Prongs 72 are inserted in a first row of apertures 29. This then results in an angle a being formed between legs 62 and 64. There is then provided a height aa between the cover 26 and the height of the rear wall 14.
- prongs 72 engage in apertures 29 in a position to the right of that shown in Figure 8 .
- angle b between legs 62 and 64 is diminished and a lesser height bb is provided between the top of the eavestrough and the cover.
- FIG. 13 and 14 An alternative embodiment for the support is shown in Figures 13 and 14 wherein U-shaped protrusions 74 are provided in leg 62. These may be compressed as shown in Figure 14 to shorten the length of leg 62.
