Rain diverter

[Category : - OTHER- CONSTRUCTION HOME IMPROVEMENT- Lawn and Garden]
[Viewed 1893 times]

A rainwater diverter shell has edge flashing with a right-angled flange formed by a first upper flange that defines a first vertical plane and a second upper flange that defines a second vertical plane orthogonal to the first. A first side flange extends between the first upper flange and a base and has a first side flange surface in parallel to the first vertical plane. A second side flange extends between the second upper flange and the base and has a second side flange surface in parallel to the second vertical plane. A horizontal base flange defines a base plane. The horizontal base flange extends along an arc that subtends a reflex angle between the first and second vertical planes. A sloped surface descends from the edge flashing to the horizontal base flange and extends across the rainwater diverter from the first side flange to the second side flange.
Patent catches and diverts not only water from downspout, but also catches and diverts water from gutter overflow, elbow separation and other above grade issues. This patent encompasses claims no other patent has, and offers 270 degrees of diversion surface rather than only a narrow channel.
