Abstract
A system for separating water from debris. A gutter cover is secured to a gutter and extends to engage the top of the roof adjacent the gutter along a contact line. The gutter cover may have a perforate surface comprising closely spaced and normally water impervious holes through the gutter cover such that water does not flow through the holes unless the water is forced through the holes or attracted through the holes. The line of contact forms an imperfect junction between the edge of the gutter cover and the roof so that water flows through the contact line and beneath the gutter cover.
Claims21
A roof deflector system for separating water from debris, comprising:
- a. a pitched roof having an eave gutter extending along at least a portion of the roof,
- b. a gutter cover secured to the eave gutter and extending at an upward angle to and engaging the roof along a contact line, and
- c. the gutter cover having a perforate surface, said perforate surface comprising closely spaced and normally water impervious holes through the gutter cover such that water does not flow thru said holes unless the water is forced through said holes or attracted through said holes.
A roof deflector system for separating water from debris, comprising
- a. a roof having a gutter extending along at least a portion of peripheral edges of the roof,
- b. a gutter cover secured to the gutter and extending to engage the roof along a contact line, and
- c. the gutter cover having a perforate surface proximate said contact line, said perforate surface comprising closely spaced and normally water impervious holes through the gutter cover such that water does not flow thru said holes unless the water is forced through said holes or attracted through said holes.
A roof deflector system for separating water from debris,
- a. a roof having a gutter extending along at least a portion of peripheral edges of the roof,
- b. a gutter cover secured to the gutter and extending to engage the roof along a contact line, and
- c. the contact line forming an imperfect junction between an edge of said gutter cover and the roof, such that water flowing along the roof at said contact line flows through said contact line and beneath said gutter cover.
A debris deflector for separating water from debris, comprising:
- a. a cover formed to be secured proximate a gutter to contact a roof along a contact line, and
- b. the cover having a perforate surface, said perforate surface comprising closely spaced and normally water impervious holes through the gutter cover such that water does not flow thru said holes unless the water is forced through said holes or attracted through said holes.
