GUTTER MITER Filed Nov. 6, 1931 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Patented Jan. 1, 1935 PATENT OFFICE GUTTER MITER Henry E. Usinger, Pitman, N. J assignor to Berger Bros. Company, Philadelphia, Pa., a corporation of Pennsylvania Application November 6, 1931, Serial No. 573,388
4 Claims.
This invention relates to an improvement in gutter miters, such as are used for carrying a gutter or eaves trough into an angle formed by roof sections.
Heretofore it has been customary to provide gutter miters for carrying a gutter into an angle formed by roof sections, but such miters have not proved satisfactory to handle the water flowing down the valley formed by the roof sections in the event of heavy rain. Thus, as is clear, where two roof sections join at an angle, water from a relatively large roof area collects in and is carried down in the valley formed at the juncture of the sections and in the case of a heavy rain is in such volume and travels at such a rate as to flood over the gutter miter or angular section of gutter provided for joining the gutters provided for the roof sections respectively.
Now, it is the object of this invention to provide a gutter miter so constructed as to prevent the flooding over of the miter and as to promote distribution of the water from the valley to the gutters provided for the roof sections respectively.
Having now indicated, in a general way, the nature and purpose of this invention, I will proceed to a detailed description thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a miter embodying this invention positioned in operative relation to a pair of angularly extending roof sections.
Figure 2 is a view in the direction of the arrow 2, Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a view similar to that of Figure 2 showing the guard member prior to attachment to the gutter portion of the miter.
Figure 4 is a plan view of a blank from which the guard member is formed.
Figure 5 is a bottom view of the guard member shown in Figure 3.
Referring more particularly to Figures 1 and 2, a, a indicate sections of the roof of a building meeting at an angle and provided with a valley gutter b. Supported from the eaves of the roof sections in the angle formed thereby and adapted to receive water therefrom as well as from the valley gutter b, is a miter or angular gutter gular gutter section or miter is provided on its outer edge with a bead it about which is clamped bead engaging members e, e formed integrally with a guard member 1, which extends upwardly from within the miter and is angular to conform to the angle of the miter.
Referring now to Figures 3, 4 and 5, the blank has a central cut out portion 9 and is of any desired shape, for example, as shown, having a scalloped upper edge. For the formation of the bead engaging members 6, e, the lower portion of the blank is bent upon itself on a line above the top of the cut out portion 9, as, for example, on the line h-h, and the portions on opposite sides of the cut out portion are bent outwardly and downwardly on a curve. Adjacent the free ends of the outwardly and downwardly curved portions ribs 1' are formed by distorting or bending outwardly and inwardly and the free end portions k, is are bent inwardly toward the body of the guard. The'guard is then completed by bending to the angle desired on the center line 7'1'. If desired, the body portion of the guard 1 may be provided with stiffening ribs 1.
The guard is assembled with the angular gutter section or miter by placing the bead engaging members e, e over the beads of the miter and pressing their outwardly and downwardly curved portions about the bead. The ribs 2, i will give purchase for a clamping tool and on compression the free end portions k, It will follow the curve of the miter causing the outwardly and downwardly curved portions of the bead engaging members to snugly engage the beads.
What I claim and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:
l. A miter comprising, in combination, a pair of gutter sections having beads on their outer edges and joined at an angle, and an angular guard member extending upwardly from the gutter sections adjacent their outer edges, said guard member being secured to the beads of said gutter sections.
"2. A miter comprising, in combination, a pair of gutter sections having beads on their outer edges and joined at an angle, and an angular guard member extending upwardly from the gutter sections adjacent their outer edges, said guard member having a body portion and integrally 4. A miter comprising, in combination, a pair of gutter sections having beads on their outer edges and joined at an angle, and an angular guard member extending upwardly from the gutter sections adjacent their outer edges, the lower portion of said guard member being cut out centrally and bent upon itself and curved outwardly and downwardly, the downwardly curved portion adjacent the free end being distorted to form a longitudinally extending rib.
