DESC~IPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
With reference to Figure 1, the gutter and hanger assembly of the present invention comprises a gutter 10 secured to the fascia 12 of a building by a plurality of hangers 1~, one of which is shown. Longitudinally aligned sections of gutt r 10 and intervening downspout 16 are secured together by resilient connectors 17. Downspout 16 is adapted to have straight downpipe section 18 or elbow and downpipe assembly depi~ted hy numeral 20 secured thereto, as will be described in detaii hereinbelow.
With particular reference now to Figures 2 - 5, gutter 10 comprises a planar rear wall 22, curved outer wall 24, and interconnecting web or bottom wall 26 to define a trough 28 therebetween. The upper edge portion 30 of rear wall 22 has an inwardly and downward1y inclined resilient flange 32 adapted, as srown n Figure 2, to be seated diagonally within channel 34 formed in hanger 14.
4.
~ ~3~ii72 Outer wall 24 is curved in an aesthetic manner, such as an ogee curve, and is formed with a substantially vertical upper portion 36 with inwardly inclined flange 38 terminating in a downwardly inclined reverse flange 40.
Hanger 14 has a rear planar member 40 adapted to abut the fascia board 12 of a building for securement thereto by connecting means such as wood screws, not shown, adapted to pass through openings 42, shown more clearly in Figure 5.
Forwardly extending arm 44, shown in the embodiment of Figure 5 to have a t-section with horizontal side ribs 46 and upper and lower vertical ribs 48, 50 is tapered from rear member 40 to outer terminus 52. Terminus 52 has an upwardly and rearwardly extending flange 54 adapted to receive flange 50 of gutter 10 when in the position shown in Figure 3 such that the gutter can be pivoted counter-clockwise as shown in Figure 3 to the position shown in Figure 4.
The rear end of arm 44 has a channel 56 defined by downwardly and rearwardly extending flange 58 in proximity to but spaced from rear member 40 with bottom slot 60 adapted to receive inwardly and downwardly inclined resilient flange 32 formed in the upper edge 30 of rear wall 22. Flange 32 is compressed within slot 60 to e~pand by its resiliance into the diagonal position within channel 34 as shown most clearly in Figure 2 to provide a tight friction fit therein. The length of flange 32 relative to the substantially rectangular dimensions of channel 34 is such that free end 62 of flange 32 abuts the bight at the inner corner of flange 58 and the juncture 64 of flange 32 and rear wall 32 abuts and engages the rounded portion 66 at the juncture of member 40 and side ribs 46.
Figure 6 illustrates another embodiment of hanger in which planar rear member 40 has integrally formed therewith a forwardly extending arm 70 having a H-cross section with vertical side walls 72 tapered frorn member 42 to outer terminus 74 and an intermediate lateral connecting member 76 extending the length thereof. A rearwardly extending flange 78 in proximity to but spaced from member 40 defines a slot 80 therebetween for entry of resilient flange 32 of rear wall 22 into channel 82 in the manner described above. Outer flange 84 formed in outer terminus 86 is adapted to receive the outer wall reverse flange 40 of gutter 10.
With reference now to Figures 7 and 8, downspout 16 comprises a short length of gutter having inner wall 90, outer wall 92 and web or lower wall 94 matching the components of gutters 10, defining a trough therebetween with a hopper bottom 96 terminating in a rectangular spout spigot 98. Upper clip extensions 91 formed at each end of outer wall 92 and clip extensions 93 formed at each end of inner wall 90 are adapted to receive and frictionally engage the upper portions of abutting ends of gutter walls 22,24 whlch are inserted into the downspout.
Spout spigot 98 is inwardly stepped about its periphery intermediate the length of the spigot substantially the thickness of the spout wall, shown most clearly in Figure 7, to define a peripheral shoulder 100 and reduced cross-section terminus portion 110 adjacent the enlarged spigot portion 106. In the embodiment shown in Figure 7, a 75 elbow 102 having an upset upper inner portion or bell 104 is adapted to receive the enlarged portion 106 of the spigot. The opposite end of the elbow 102 has a tapered outlet terminus or 6.
7~
spigot 10~ of reduced sectional area, defining a peripheral shoulder 110, adapted to receive pipe 112.
In the embodiment illustrated in Figure 8, downpipe of rectangular cross section 112 may be joined to spout portion 101 of reduced cross-section.
The downspout components thus permit incorporation of a downspout at any desired location in a gutter assembly. The stepped down spot spigot permits connection of a downpipe or an elbow assembly, or combinations thereof, with the use of simple pipe extrusions.
The present invention provides a number of important advantages. The gutter and downpipe can be formed from plastics material such as polyvinyl chloride by well known extruding techniques and the gutter components joined together by solvent welding. The hanger embodiments, downspout and elbows can be formed by injection molding from a similar plastics material and joined together by frictional engagement. The simplicity of the hangers and connections for the downspout sections of the assemblies minimizes the number of components necessary and tools required for installation by a tradesman. The gutter can be readily adjusted longitudinally on the hangers to facilitate installation on a fascia.
It will be understood that modifications can be made in the embodiment of the invention illustrated and described herein without departing from the scope and purview of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
