Eavestrough cover

Abstract

An eavestrough cover which comprises a substantially planar central portion formed of a woven material and which central portion has a plurality of longitudinally embossments formed therein, first and second longitudinally extending portions on either side of the central portion, the first longitudinally extending portion being arranged to fit within a recess formed adjacent a front wall of the eavestrough, and the second longitudinally extending portion being designed to sit on top of a rear wall of the eavestrough.

         2 . The eavestrough cover of  claim 1  wherein said woven material is a metallic micromesh material. 
     
     
         3 . (canceled) 
     
     
         4 . The eavestrough cover of  claim 2  wherein said first longitudinally extending portion has a top longitudinally extending segment and a bottom longitudinally extending segment, said top longitudinally extending segment and said bottom longitudinally extending segment crimping said metallic micromesh therebetween. 
     
     
         5 . The eavestrough cover of  claim 4  wherein said top longitudinally extending segment is contiguous with a diagonally upwardly extending wall, an inwardly extending segment being contiguous with said diagonally upwardly extending wall. 
     
     
         6 . In combination:
 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, said vertical segment, said top wall and said downwardly extending diagonal segment defining a recess formed therebetween, and   an eavestrough cover comprising:   a substantially planar central portion formed of a flexible woven material, said substantially planar central portion having first and second sides, said central portion having a plurality of longitudinally extending embossments formed therein, a first longitudinally extending portion connected to said first side, said first longitudinally extending portion having an upwardly extending wall, said upwardly extending wall being located adjacent said top wall of said eavestrough and abutting against an end of said top wall; and   a second longitudinally extending portion connected to said second side, said second longitudinally extending portion having a lower longitudinally extending segment and a contiguous upper longitudinally extending segment, said lower longitudinally extending segment and said upper longitudinally extending segment retaining said woven material in a crimping relationship, an upwardly extending segment being contiguous with said upper longitudinally extending segment, a downwardly extending segment contiguous with said upwardly extending segment, and an end segment extending outwardly from said downwardly extending segment, said end segment engaging underneath an attaching member, said substantially planar central portion being bowed upwardly so as to ensure that said cover remains in position.   
     
     
         7 . The combination of  claim 6  wherein said woven material is a metallic micromesh material. 
     
     
         8 . The combination of  claim 7  wherein said longitudinally extending embossments extend upwardly in a U-shaped configuration. 
     
     
         9 . The combination of  claim 7  wherein said first longitudinally extending portion has a top longitudinally extending segment and a bottom longitudinally extending segment, said top longitudinally extending segment and said bottom longitudinally extending segment crimping said metallic micromesh therebetween. 
     
     
         10 . The combination of  claim 9  wherein said top longitudinally extending segment is contiguous with a diagonally upwardly extending wall, an inwardly extending segment being contiguous with said diagonally upwardly extending wall, said inwardly extending segment engaging with said recess formed adjacent the front wall of said eavestrough. 
     
     
         11 . In combination:
 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, said vertical segment and said top wall and said downwardly extending diagonal segment defining a recess therebetween; and   an eavestrough cover comprising:   a substantially planar central portion formed of a woven material, said substantially planar central portion having first and second sides, said central portion having a plurality of longitudinally extending embossments formed therein;   a first longitudinally extending portion connected to said first side, said first longitudinally extending portion having an upwardly extending wall, said upwardly extending wall fitting within said recess formed adjacent a front wall of an eavestrough; and   a second longitudinally extending portion connected to said second side, said second longitudinally extending portion having a lower longitudinally extending segment and a contiguous upper longitudinally extending segment, said lower longitudinally extending segment and said upper longitudinally extending segment retaining said woven material in a crimping relationship, an upwardly extending segment being contiguous with said upper longitudinally extending segment.   
     
     
         12 . The combination of  claim 11  wherein said woven material is a metallic micromesh material. 
     
     
         13 . The combination of  claim 12  wherein said longitudinally extending embossments extend upwardly in a U-shaped configuration. 
     
     
         14 . The combination of  claim 12  wherein said first longitudinally extending portion has a top longitudinally extending segment and a bottom longitudinally extending segment, said top longitudinally extending segment and said bottom longitudinally extending segment crimping said metallic micromesh therebetween. 
     
     
         15 . The combination of  claim 14  wherein said top longitudinally extending segment is contiguous with a diagonally upwardly extending wall, an inwardly extending segment being contiguous with said diagonally upwardly extending wall, said inwardly extending segment engaging with said recess formed adjacent the front wall of said eavestrough.
