Abstract
An eavestrough cover which has a central portion formed of a woven material and a front longitudinally extending portion and a rear longitudinally extending portion, the woven material being embossed in a generally transverse direction so as to improve the rigidity of the woven material.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modifiedI claim:
1 . An eavestrough cover comprising:
a front longitudinally extending portion; a rear longitudinally extending portion; a central portion extending between and secured to both of said front longitudinally extending portion and said rear longitudinally extending portion, said central portion being formed of a woven material; and said woven material being embossed in a generally transverse direction so as to improve the rigidity of said woven material.
2 . The eavestrough cover of claim 1 wherein said woven material is formed of a metallic material.
3 . The eavestrough cover of claim 2 wherein said metallic material is selected from an aluminum material and stainless steel material.
4 . The eavestrough cover of claim 3 wherein said woven material is embossed in a transverse direction extending between said front longitudinally extending portion and said rear longitudinally extending portion.
5 . The eavestrough cover of claim 4 wherein said woven material is embossed to form upwardly extending ridges.
6 . The eavestrough cover of claim 1 wherein said front longitudinally extending portion and said rear longitudinally extending portion are metallic strips.
7 . The eavestrough cover of claim 6 wherein said woven material is crimped between said metallic strips.
8 . The eavestrough cover of claim 7 wherein said woven material is crimped adjacent said front longitudinally extending portion to form an upwardly extending and longitudinally extending ridge.
9 . The eavestrough cover of claim 8 wherein said front longitudinally extending portion forms an upwardly extending wall adjacent said woven to help prevent water overflow.
10 . The eavestrough cover of claim 1 wherein said rear longitudinally extending portion includes a substantially planar portion designed to tit underneath roof tiles.
11 . The eavestrough cover of claim 10 wherein said rear longitudinally extending portion has a diagonally and upwardly extending segment proximate said woven material.
12 . The eavestrough cover of claim 8 wherein said front longitudinally extending portion has a substantially horizontally extending upper segment and a substantially horizontally extending lower segment, said woven material being retained therebetween, a terminating segment extending from said substantially horizontal lower segment, said terminating segment extending diagonally downwardly.
13 . In combination, an eavestrough cover comprising:
a front longitudinally extending portion; a rear longitudinally extending portion; a central portion extending between and secured to both of said front longitudinally extending portion and said rear longitudinally extending portion, said central portion being formed of a woven material; said woven material being embossed in a generally transverse direction so as to improve the rigidity of said woven material; and an eavestrough, said eavestrough having a rear wall, a bottom wall, a front wall, a vertical segment formed at an upper portion of said front wall, a top wall and a downwardly extending diagonal segment.Cited by (0)
