Repositionable, flexible, and extendible connector

An integrally molded, repositionable rainwater connector in combination with a gutter or gutter downspout, the gutter or gutter downspout having a rectangular cross-sectional discharge end, the connector for connection to the rectangular cross-sectional discharge end, the connector comprising:

• an elongate body having first and second ends and having a generally rectangular cross section defined by a first pair of arcuate segments, a second pair of arcuate segments, and a plurality of third arcuate segments, each of said arcuate segments having a radius of curvature;
• said first pair of arcuate segments having a radius of curvature that is larger than the radius of curvature of said second pair of arcuate segments, thereby defining said generally rectangular cross section;
• the radius of curvature of said third arcuate segments being smaller than the radii of curvature of said first pair of arcuate segments and said second pair of arcuate segments, thereby defining rounded corners of said cross section;
• said body comprising a plurality of collapsible corrugations, said collapsible corrugations comprising lockable annular members that allow the body to extend, contract, bend, and lock into selectable lengths and angular positions;
• and
• first and second cuffs affixed at said first and second ends, respectively, said first and second downspout cuffs being generally rectangular in cross-section whereby the connector can be connected to said discharge port of said gutter or said gutter downspout.

An integrally molded, repositionable rainwater connector in combination with a gutter downspout, said gutter downspout having a rectangular cross-sectional end, the rainwater connector for connection to the discharge end of the rectangular cross-sectional end of the gutter downspout, the rainwater connector comprising:

• an elongate body with first and second ends and having a generally rectangular cross section defined by a first pair of arcuate segments, a second pair of arcuate segments, and a plurality of third arcuate segments, each of said arcuate segments having a radius of curvature;
• said first pair of arcuate segments having a radius of curvature that is larger than the radius of curvature of said second pair of arcuate segments, thereby defining said generally rectangular cross section;
• the radius of curvature of said third arcuate segments being smaller than the radii of curvature of said first pair of arcuate segments and said second pair of arcuate segments, thereby defining rounded corners of said cross section;
• said body including a plurality of collapsible, extendible, and lockable corrugations, and
• connectors of rectangular cross section affixed at said first and second ends for connection to the rectangular gutter downspout,
• whereby the extension may be extended, contracted, bent, and locked into selectable lengths and angular positions.

An integrally molded, repositionable rainwater connector in combination with a gutter or gutter downspout, said gutter or gutter downspout having a rectangular cross-sectional end, the rainwater connector for connection to the rectangular cross-sectional end of the gutter or gutter downspout, the rainwater connector comprising:

• an elongate generally tubular body having first and second ends and having a generally rectangular cross section defined by a first pair of arcuate segments, a second pair of arcuate segments, and a plurality of third arcuate segments, each of said arcuate segments having a radius of curvature;
• said first pair of arcuate segments having a radius of curvature that is larger than the radius of curvature of said second pair of arcuate segments, thereby defining said generally rectangular cross section;
• the radius of curvature of said third arcuate segments being smaller than the radii of curvature of said first pair of arcuate segments and said second pair of arcuate segments, thereby defining rounded corners of said cross section;
• said body comprising a plurality of collapsible corrugations, said collapsible corrugations comprising lockable annular members that allow said body to extend, contract, bend, and lock into selectable lengths and angular positions;
• first and second downspout connectors affixed at said first and second ends, respectively, said first and second downspout connectors being generally rectangular in cross-section;
• and
• third and fourth downspout connectors affixed axially adjacent to said first and second downspout connectors, respectively, said third and fourth downspout connectors being generally rectangular in cross-section.
