GUTTER COVER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240044141 titled 'GUTTER COVER
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a gutter cover and its components, as well as associated methods. The gutter cover is designed to be installed over a gutter in order to prevent debris from entering it. The cover is made of a webbing material with openings that allow water to pass through. It includes a diverter that protrudes upward and extends along the length of the cover, facilitating water penetration into the gutter. The diverter has a peak, a rear leg that extends upward and forward towards the peak, and a front leg that extends downward and forward from the peak. The rear leg is steeper and shorter than the front leg, creating a water impact surface that breaks the surface tension of water flowing along the top of the gutter cover.
- The gutter cover is installed over a gutter to prevent debris from entering it.
- It is made of a webbing material with openings that allow water to pass through.
- The cover includes a diverter that facilitates water penetration into the gutter.
- The diverter has a peak, a rear leg, and a front leg.
- The rear leg is steeper and shorter than the front leg, creating a water impact surface.
Potential Applications:
- Residential and commercial buildings with gutters can use this gutter cover to prevent debris accumulation and clogging.
- It can be used in areas with high foliage or heavy rainfall to ensure proper water drainage.
Problems Solved:
- Prevents debris from entering the gutter, reducing the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance.
- Facilitates water penetration into the gutter, preventing overflow and potential water damage to the building.
Benefits:
- Easy installation over existing gutters.
- Allows water to flow freely while blocking debris.
- Reduces the risk of gutter clogging and water damage.
- Low maintenance requirements.
Original Abstract Submitted
a gutter cover, components thereof, and associated methods. the gutter cover is configured to be installed over a gutter to prevent debris from entering the gutter. the gutter cover can be made of a webbing material having openings through which water can pass. the gutter cover includes features that facilitate water penetration through the gutter cover for the water to enter the gutter. for example, the webbing material is formed to define a diverter protruding upward and extending lengthwise along the gutter cover body. the diverter has a peak, a rear leg extending upward and forward toward the peak, and a forward leg extending downward and forward from the peak. the rear leg is steeper and shorter than the front leg such that the rear leg defines a water impact surface configured to break surface tension of water flowing along the top of the gutter cover.
