Abstract
A deck drain is made from extruded plastic with a cross section defining a substantially circular main channel, a mid section, and a top section having a top face with a plurality of openings defined therein. Nail guiding means are attached to the mid section, and direct a nail or screw through the mid section to secure the deck drain to a planar surface. Edges of two or more of the structural elements are aligned vertically to permit the deck drain to contact the planar surface without wobbling when attached.
Claims11
A deck drain comprising:
- an elongated conduit having a cross-sectional profile defining a top section;
- a main channel having a centerline;
- and
- nail guiding means attached to and extending from the top section.
1 more element
A deck drain comprising:
- an elongated conduit having a cross-sectional profile defining a top section;
- a main channel having a centerline;
- a mid section connecting the top section to the main channel along a major axis transverse to the main channel centerline;
- and
- a pair of parallel planar projections attached to and extending from the mid section.
2 more elements
A deck drain comprising:
- an elongated conduit having a cross-sectional profile defining a top section;
- a main channel having a centerline;
- a mid section connecting the top section to the main channel along a major axis transverse to the main channel centerline;
- a pair of parallel, substantially identical planar projections attached to and extending from the mid section;
- and
- a base plate tangentially attached to the main channel;
- wherein the top section, the projections, the main channel and the base plate all align along a vertical axis to allow the deck drain to be attached securely to a planar surface along the vertical axis.
