Roof water dispersal system

A roof water dispersal system comprising a plurality of longitudinally extending dispersal elements oriented substantially parallel to a drip edge of a roof structure, and means for mounting said plurality of dispersal elements relative to said drip edge of said roof to receive and disperse water flowing from said roof, at least one of said dispersal elements being of variable thickness in cross section.

A roof water dispersal system comprising a plurality of longitudinally extending dispersal elements oriented substantially parallel to a drip edge of a roof structure, and means for mounting said plurality of dispersal elements relative to said drip edge of said roof to receive and disperse water flowing from said roof, at least one of said dispersal elements being of a different thickness in cross section than at least another one of said plurality of said dispersal elements.

A roof water dispersal system comprising a plurality of longitudinally extending at least partially curved in cross section dispersal elements oriented substantially parallel to a drip edge of a roof structure, and means for mounting said plurality of dispersal elements relative to said drip edge of said roof to receive and disperse water flowing from said roof, said means for mounting including bracket means having a bottom edge oriented to slope downwardly in a direction outwardly from said drip edge of said roof and at least one rounded corner defined at one end of said bottom edge of said bracket means.

A roof water dispersal system comprising a plurality of longitudinally extending dispersal elements oriented substantially parallel to a drip edge of a roof structure, and means for mounting said plurality of dispersal elements relative to said drip edge of said roof to receive and disperse water flowing from said roof, said plurality of dispersal elements including a first edge dispersal element defining a forward lateral edge of said dispersal system, a second edge dispersal element defining a rear lateral edge of said dispersal system, and at least one intermediate dispersal element disposed between said first and said second edge dispersal elements;

• said first and said second edge dispersal elements each including a straight portion in cross sectional configuration, and said at least one intermediate dispersal element being at least partially curved in cross sectional configuration.

In a roof water dispersal system including a plurality of longitudinally extending at least partially curved in cross section dispersal elements assembled in a unit and oriented substantially parallel to a drip edge of a roof structure, and means for mounting said assembled unit relative to said drip edge of said roof to receive and disperse water flowing from said roof, the improvement comprising:

• said means for mounting including a bracket, said bracket defining a first substantially vertical portion and a second portion extending forwardly from said first portion and adapted to be coupled to said assembled unit of said plurality of dispersal elements, said second extending portion of said bracket being sloped downwardly relative to said first substantially vertically oriented portion in a direction outwardly from said first portion and at an angle of greater than 4 degrees relative to the horizontal, said second extending portion of said bracket defining at least one rounded corner thereon.

A roof water dispersal system comprising a plurality of longitudinally extending dispersal elements oriented substantially parallel to a drip edge of a roof structure, and means for mounting said plurality of dispersal elements in an assembled unit relative to said drip edge of said roof to receive and disperse water flowing from said roof, said assembled unit including at least one cross member intersecting said longitudinally extending dispersal elements in a substantially transverse orientation relative to said longitudinal direction of extension of said plurality of dispersal elements, and water diverting means mounted proximate to said drip edge of said roof in substantial alignment with said at least one cross member of said assembled unit for diverting the flow of water from said roof away from said at least one cross member to reduce the quantity of water impacting thereagainst.
