Eavestrough cover

Abstract

An eavestrough having a front wall, rear wall and top wall with a foraminous membrane extending between the rear wall and front wall, and a recess formed between the eavestrough top wall and the foraminous membrane which permits reversal of water flow flowing towards the recess.

1 . In an eavestrough having an eavestrough front wall, an eavestrough rear wall, an eavestrough top wall and an eavestrough bottom wall, and a foraminous membrane extending between said eavestrough rear wall and said eavestrough front wall, the improvement comprising a recess formed between said eavestrough top wall and said foraminous membrane, said recess extending inwardly of said eavestrough top wall to thereby permit the reversal of water flow flowing towards said recess. 
   
   
       2 . The eavestrough of  claim 1  wherein said recess is of a C-shaped configuration. 
   
   
       3 . The eavestrough of  claim 1  wherein said eavestrough is of a monocoque construction. 
   
   
       4 . The eavestrough of  claim 1  wherein said foraminous membrane has a U-shaped structure adjacent said eavestrough rear wall, said U-shaped structure enclosing an upper portion of said eavestrough rear wall. 
   
   
       5 . The eavestrough of  claim 1  wherein said foraminous membrane has a planar central portion, a first upwardly extending side portion adjacent said recess, and a second upwardly extending side portion adjacent said eavestrough rear wall. 
   
   
       6 . The eavestrough of  claim 3  wherein said eavestrough is formed of a metallic material. 
   
   
       7 . In a building having an eavestrough secured to the building facia, and wherein the eavestrough has an eavestrough front wall, an eavestrough rear wall, an eavestrough bottom wall, and an eavestrough top wall, and a foraminous membrane extending between said eavestrough rear wall and said eavestrough front wall, the improvement comprising a recess formed between said eavestrough top wall and said foraminous membrane, said recess extending inwardly of said eavestrough top wall to thereby permit the reversal of water flow flowing towards said recess.
