Abstract

A novel roll-forming machine is disclosed for making caps to cover rain gutters and prevent the entry of debris into the rain gutters that cause damming and overflow. The roll-forming machine may be used in a predetermined manner to manufacture caps of different profiles in substantially any desired length, thus substantially reducing the number of joints between adjacent sections and increasing the amount of water run-off captured within the rain gutters. Also disclosed is a unique rain gutter cap profile substantially complementing the generally angular design of standard rain gutters while still maximizing the redirection of water into the underlying rain gutter while keeping potentially clogging debris from entering the rain gutter.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

[0001] This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Patent Application filed Jul. 1, 2004 and assigned application Ser. No. 60 / 584,932, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] 1. Field of the Invention

[0003] This invention relates to devices for diverting water from a surface and particularly to a unique device for reducing the amount of detritus allowed to fill a rain gutter while maximizing the diversion of water into the gutter. This invention also relates to a method and apparatus for manufacturing such a device as well as a unique gutter cap configuration.

[0004] 2. Discussion of the Related Art

[0005] Gutters are mounted to the drip edges of houses and other structures to capture water runoff from the roof structures and divert the water to predetermined locations. These traditional structures consist of a trough attached to the fascia board or similar structure adjacent the...
