As first stated, a gutter may be composed ofseveral sections, if necessary. The lower 'fend of one gutter-section corresponds in dimensions with the up er end of the neXt gutter-section. The lower end of the guttersection, or rather of the two sides and the bottom of said gutter-section, are slitted at the connecting-bends, and the tongues so formed are fan-folded under to form the lap- -joint,such as shown in Fig. 4. The upper raw edge of the next section is then slipped into the described folds, as shown in Figs. 3, 6, and 7. The portions@5 and a6 and the edge of the horizontal'portion a4 are cut away so as topermit the parts a4 at the upper end of the lower Section toslip under the correspending part of the upper section and to permit the ends of the portions 0,5 and a to substantially abut, as s hown in Fig. 1.
When water flows down a gutter formed of the sections connected as above described, such water flows over the described joint and has no tendency to flow intosaid 'oint between said sections. `It is thought t at even if the joint of these gutter-sectionswere not closed by soldering no water would be likely toow through this joint onto the roof to which the gutter is secured.
Havin described our invention, we claim- 1. A s eet-metal roof-gutter section having an inclined rear side a, a bottom a2 which inclines downward and is of decreasing width from the upper to the lower end of the guttersection, anda vertical front side which is of increasing width measured from top to bot- -tom,'from the upper to the lower end of the Vgutter-section and whose top edge is horizonatleast two gutter-sections A A which are alike in that each has a rearwardly-inclined rear side a, a bottom a2 which inclines downward and is of decreasing width from the upper to the lower end of the gutter-section, and a vertical .front side a which is oi increasin height from the upper to the lower end of t e gutter-section, and whose top edge is horizontal and is bent outward to form the ange c4, then downward to form the portion a5, and then .upward and rearward at an inclination to form the portion c, the upper section A having the lower edge of its parts a, a', a2 fan-folded under, thereby forming grooves which receive the upper ends of the correspondin parts of the next lower section A', said lower section having the outer upper corner of its flange a4 and the adjacent ends of the parts a5, a, cut away, combined with molding-sections having an inclined lower portion and a substantially upright portion whose upper edge is bent outward and then downward and is caused to interlock with the bent upper edges of the front sides of the gutter-sections.
In testimony whereof we hereunto aHiX our signatures in the presence of two witnesses.
