Abstract
A water diverter for easy installation on a roof, the diverter comprising a base and one or more protruding ridges extending above the surface of the base. An upper edge of the base is inserted under shingles, and spaced-apart holes along the upper edge of the base receive nails or screws for securing the water diverter on the roof. The angled ridges divert water runoff on a roof away from entryways, doors, and window openings below the roof. The ridge on a first embodiment forms an inverted V-shape, on a second embodiment the ridge extends upward linearly along a first angle, with respect to the bottom edge, and on a third embodiment the ridge extends downward linearly along a second angle with respect to the bottom edge. The water diverter is formed in a mold using plastic material or it may be formed be bending a sheet of metal to form the ridge extending above the base area.

- The use of gutters is well known in the prior art. Gutters are typically installed on the edge of a roof to route water coming off the roof to a drain pipe and then down to the ground.
- Other techniques of diverting water over a doorway are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,653,068 issued Aug. 5, 1997 to Ben A. Moody et al. which describes a water diverting strip adapted to extend outwardly over the entrance of a doorway. However, this dividing strip is structured to be affixed within a door jam ad to have a trough that extends beyond the door jamb which may interfere with opening and closing the door.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,678,361 issued Oct. 21, 1997 to Alan F. Bair discloses a protruding ridge-type rain diverter which is attached to a foldable roof of a tent or canopy and positioned above the doorway or windows. One end of the rain diverter is lower on the foldable roof than the other end and two rain diverters may be used with their high ends adjacent to each other forming an inverted V over a door opening. However, the rain diverters are attached to the roof during fabrication of the tent by sewing, gluing, chemical welding, thermal bonding, or electronic welding. A retaining tube has to be inserted in a pocket within the diverter strip to maintain rigidity of the strip for directing water.
- Accordingly, it is therefore an object of this invention to provide a water diverter that easily installs on a roof.
- It is another object of this invention to provide a water diverter made of plastic material comprising an integral base and water diverting ridge.
- It is a further object of this invention to provide several embodiments of a water diverter each of which diverts the flow of water in a predetermined direction or directions.
- It is another object of this invention to provide a water diverter by bending a sheet of metal to form a ridge to divert the flow of water on a roof.
- These and other objects are further accomplished by a water diverter for a roof comprising a base, a plurality of spaced-apart holes along at least one edge of the base for mounting the water diverter to the roof, and the base comprises a ridge extending above the surface of the base having a first end, a center apex point and a second end, the first end and the second end being positioned on the base below the center apex point. The water diverter comprises plastic material. The water diverter may also comprise a metallic material.
- These objects are further accomplished by a water diverter for a roof comprising a base, a plurality of spaced-apart holes along at least one edge of the base for mounting the water diverter to the roof, the base comprises a ridge having a first end and a second end, the second end being positioned on the base above the first end. The water diverter comprises plastic material. The water diverter may also comprise a metallic material.
- These objects are further accomplished by a water diverter for a roof comprising a base, a plurality of spaced-apart holes along at least one edge of the base for mounting the water diverter to the roof, and the base comprises a ridge having a first end and a second end, the second end being positioned below the first end. The water diverter comprises plastic material. The water diverter may also comprise a metallic material.
- These objects are further accomplished by a water diverter for a roof comprising a first base, the first base being formed having a ridge extending above a plane of the first base, the ridge having a first end lower on the base than a second end, a second base, the second base being formed having a ridge extending above a plane of the second base, the ridge having a first end higher on the base that a second end, and the first base and the second base being joined to each other wherein the second end of the first base overlaps and attaches to the first end of the second base. The first base and the second base comprise a metallic material. The second end of the first base overlaps and attaches to the first end of the second base by fastening means including rivets. The second end of the first base overlaps and attaches to the first end of the second base by solder when the base material includes copper.
- These objects are further accomplished by a method of providing a water diverter for a roof comprising the steps of providing a mold for receiving a plastic material, the mold comprises a first area for forming a base and a second area for forming a ridge on the base, and extending the ridge above the surface of the base, the ridge having a first end, a center apex point and a second end, the first end and the second end being positioned on the base below the center apex point. The method comprises the steps of providing a plurality of spaced-apart holes along at least one edge of the base for mounting the diverter to the roof.
