- None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singularly or in combination, is seen to describe the instant invention as claimed. Thus, a gutter attached by an in situ adhesive strip above a dwelling window or glass door solving the aforementioned problems is desired.
- The present invention is a single piece condensation diverter or gutter for adding above a window or a door. The gutter is made of vinyl, which can readily be cut down to size to fit any window or door with a straight top. The gutter is attached by an adhesive sponge layer already positioned on the rear of the gutter. The configurations of two embodiments differ in the addition of an inwardly positioned lip for the second embodiment gutter. The front leg is inclined slightly inward to counteract any movement outward. There are no end caps. The gutters are economical and ergonomic in not requiring any expensive materials. The gutters divert rain, dew and condensation from dripping down panes blurring vision, forming water stains, and reducing dripping on persons entering or exiting glass doorways.
- Accordingly, the principal object of the invention is to provide a condensation diverter device over windows and doors.
- It is another object of the invention is to provide a single piece condensation diverter device that can be readily cut to fit over any door or window.
- It is a further object of the invention is to provide a single piece condensation diverter device having a vertical rear leg portion, horizontal bottom portion, and an inwardly inclined front leg with or without an inwardly projecting lip.
- Still another object of the invention is to provide a single piece condensation diverter device having an adhesive strip behind the rear leg portion for attachment to any trim above the window or door.
- It is an object of the invention to provide improved elements and arrangements thereof for the purposes described which is inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in accomplishing its intended purposes.
- These and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
- FIG. 1 is an environmental, perspective view of a gutter attached by adhesive to or above the rim of a door and a window of a house according to the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a partial perspective view of a first embodiment of the lipless gutter and a second embodiment lipped gutter with the dashed lip portion.
- FIG. 3 is a sectional view of the first embodiment.
- FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the second embodiment having a lip portion.
- Similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the attached drawings.
- The present invention is a unique gutter structure useful for correct sizing and positioning over windows and doors to divert condensation from dripping on the glass or door surface and causing blurring and stains. Another advantage is the reduction of dripping on persons entering or exiting doorways. In the wintertime in northern regions, ice will not form on the doorsill or step when utilizing the invention. A critical feature of the present invention is the inclined position of the front leg portion that is unconventional, but aids in the maintenance of an effective, condensation-collecting gutter.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a
house 10 having arear window 12 with sliding panels and a slidingglass door 14 with the inventivegeneric gutters 16 installed on the trims 18. FIG. 2 depicts an end portion of ageneric gutter 16 having an uprightfront leg portion 20 inclined slightly inward with a minimum height and lacking a lip portion in the first embodiment. In the second embodiment a dashedlip portion 22 extends inward from thefront leg portion 20. An upright backleg portion 24, having a maximum height, is connected by a flathorizontal bottom portion 26 to thefront leg portion 20. - FIG. 3 depicts the first
embodiment vinyl gutter 28 having an inclined inwardfront leg portion 20, ahorizontal bottom portion 26, an upright backleg portion 24, and an adhesive plasticfoam adhesive strip 30 attached to the rear side of theback leg portion 24. The exposed rear surface of the foamadhesive strip 30 has a protective waxedsheet 32, which is removed prior to installation. A homeowner or professional installer can measure the length of gutter desired, cut thegutter 28 to the measured length with shears or a saw, remove the waxed sheet, and install thegutter 28 on the trim 18 in a minimum of time and expense. - FIG. 4 illustrates the second
embodiment vinyl gutter 34 having alip portion 22 extending inward from the tip of the inclinedfront leg portion 20 to prevent the condensate from dripping over the front leg portion. - The following preferred dimensions of the
gutters - Front leg portion20: ½ inch height.
- Lip portion22: {fraction (3/16)} inch wide.
- Bottom gutter portion26: ½ to {fraction (5/8)} inch (external).
- Back leg portion24: ⅞ inch height.
- Adhesive foam strip30: ¾ inch height.
- Thus, a novel gutter that has been shown which would expedite the installation over windows and doors to prevent excessive staining due to condensation.
- It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.
