UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ANDREW O. BYERS AND JOSEPH L. BYERS, OF FORRESTON, ILLINOIS.
EAVES-TROUGH.
SPECIFICATION forming' part 0f Letters Patent N0. 4741,442, dated May 10, 1892.
Application filed August 14, 1h91. Serial No. 402,663. (No model.)
To ctZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that We, ANDREW O. BYERS and JOSEPH L. BYERS, both citizens of the United States of America, and both residing at Forreston, in the county of Ogle and State of Illinois, have jointly invented certain new and useful Improvements in Eaves-Troughs, of which the following is a specication.
Our invention relates to improvements in eaves-troughs, and more particularly to strainingV devices adapted to be applied to such troughs for the purpose of arresting leaves, sticks, and other impurities in the watroand preventing their admission to the body of the troughs and to the cisterns or other receptacles into which they enter.
The invention is fully described and eX- plained in this specification and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective View of an eavestrough provided with our improvements. Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section of the trough, and Fig. 3 is a transverse section of one of the ribs extending across the trough and supporting the strainer-sections.
In the views, A is an eaves-trough of ordinary form and general construction, closed at the end by a wall A and provided with the usual conductor-spout B for the escape of water from the trough. Near the Wall A is a transverse and preferably curved rib a of any 4desired form, and at suitable intervals between the ends of the trough areother curved ribs, each preferably made up of a vertical web c and two horizontal anges a2, as illustrated in Fig. 3. These ribs may be made of any suitable material and formed in any Vpractical manner; butin practice we have found it preferable to form each of them from a piece of sheet metal doubled at its center to form the vertical web and bent outward at right angles to the web on opposite sides to form the iianges. On the transverse ribs thus secured within the eaves-trough are a series of sections O,of sheet metal, formed with perforations c .of
such size and number as to form practical and` operative strainers, permitting the water received by the eaves-spout to pass through them freely, but arresting all coarse material floating in the water, which would clog the conductor-spouts and foul the cisterns if allowed to pass. These strainer-sections may, if
also forms a convenient means for taking holdl l of the sections to remove them from the eavestrough for the purpose of cleaning them. The transverse ribs, having the Webs a and flanges c2, not only serve to support the ends of the strainer-sections, but also prevent longitudinal motion of the sections in the trough, and thereby render their accidental displacement practically impossible. This is important, for the reason that the displacement of any section would permit free access of the water and all impurities therein to the eaves-trough, and would thus`defeat the object of our invention.
The position of the strainer-sections in the eaves-.trough may be varied somewhat from that shown in the drawings 5 but we have found in practice that the strainer-sections placed at about the height shown in Fig. 2 give pertectly satisfactory results, and we consider it preferable to so place the strainer-sections as to leave the edges of the trough projecting considerably above the strainer, substantially as shown in the drawings.
Having now described and explained our invention, what We claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. The combination, with an eaves-trough provided with transverse ribs, of a series of strainer-sections supported by said ribs, substantially as shown and described.
2. The combination, with an eaves-trough having a series of transverse ribs, of a series of strainer-sections of perforated sheet metal supported by said ribs, substantially as shown and described.
3. The combination, with the trough A, having a series of transverse ribs, of the strainersections O, of sheet metal, formed with perforations c, the ends of said sections being supported by the ribs in the trough, each rib which supports the ends of two contiguous sections being formed with a vertical web and lateral anges, substantially as shown and described.
ICO
perforated sheet metal longitudinally crimped to form a stiening-Web C, substantially as described.
