Claims28
A plant watering device adapted to be removably mounted on a roof, comprising collecting means for temporarily collecting water therein as water flows down a roof;
- conveying means for conveying collected water from said collecting means to a plant located remotely from said collecting means;
- and mounting means for removably mounting said collecting means to a roofing shingle such that said collecting means can be selectively mounted at many different locations on a roof between an upper edge thereof and a lower edge thereof.
A plant watering device adapted to be removably mounted on a roof, comprising collecting means for collecting water therein, said collecting means including a trough sized and shaped so as to temporarily collect water therein as water flows down a roof;
- filtering means, mounted to said collecting means, for filtering at least large debris from water as water accumulates in said collecting means;
- conveying means for conveying collected water from said collecting means to a plant located remotely from said collecting means;
- and mounting means for removably mounting said collecting means on a roof, said mounting means including an extension projecting from said trough and sized and shaped so as to be inserted under a roofing shingle and a tab extending from said trough, said tab and said extension cooperating with each other so as to removably receive and releasably grip a roofing shingle therebetween, whereby said trough can be removably, securely, and selectively mounted at many different locations on a roof.
