Abstract
A rain water run-off disperser comprising mounting means, and multiple fixed deflecting surfaces spaced below a roof edge of a building in the path of water falling therefrom and preferably inclined downwardly and outwardly from said building, said deflecting surfaces deflecting water away from said building and breaking up the same into a relatively fine and dispersed shower of drops.
Claims6
A rain water run-off disperser capable of intercepting the consolidated flow of water run-off from a roof of a building and, without collection, dispersing it in a non-erosive shower of water over an extended area of ground, said disperser comprising a disperser structure adapted for mounting in a position horizontally aligned with and spaced a distance below the edge of a roof and a substantial distance above the ground in the path of water falling from said roof, said disperser structure being elongated and of width sufficient to intercept the path of the falling water, said disperser structure defining a multiplicity of separate paths constructed to separate into a dispersed shower downwardly the consolidated flow of water run-off intercepted by said disperser structure and cooperative non-collecting mounting means for said disperser structure, capable of supporting said disperser structure in said position without impeding the flow of water to and through said disperser structure in shower to the ground.
