Benefits of technology

[0009]In view of the foregoing disadvantages inherent in the known types of miters now present, the present invention provides an improved miter by extending the front end. As such, the general purpose of the present invention, which will be described subsequently in greater detail, is to provide a new and improved miter which has all the advantages of the prior miters and none of the disadvantages. In accordance with the present invention, a connecting and supporting apparatus for joining a pair of rain gutter troughs consists of

Problems solved by technology

The above-described corner miters of either the miter strip or box miter types, these miters have proven somewhat unsatisfactory for one main reason during heavy water flow this would cause water overflow at the inside corner of the miter.
Also in this case, once leaking has begun it accelerates corrosion of the aluminum parts as well as deterioration of the caulking compound, and thereby further reduces the useful life of the rain gutter.
This is a particularly severe problem in the case of professionally installed roll-formed aluminum gutters wherein long, one-piece aluminum gutters are custom made for the particular application at hand.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]Thus, the present invention provides an improved miter With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIG. 1 number 2 thereof, a new and improved inside miter embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention in addition to extending the front end and generally designated by the reference numeral FIG. 1 numbers 1 and 2 will be described.

[0014]The preferred embodiment of the extreme flow miter of the present invention is described herein by reference to the embodiments illustrated in the accompanying FIG. 1. The main embodiment of the joint apparatus are illustrated in FIG. 1 as it is employed to connect adjacent sections of rain gutter troughs to one another and also attach the troughs to the outer surfaces of fascia boards along the eave of the roof. The joint may be employed at an inside corner, as indicated. Accordingly, the invention may be adequately understood by reference to the following more detailed drawling of the extreme flow miter shown in F...

Abstract

A Extreme Flow Gutter Miter includes a miter with an extended front end to handle water flow from a roof valley under all conditions. The gutter valley handler accommodates the extreme water flow under all conditions of the roof valley and yet also provides a superior solution for water overflow in all instances of water flow from a roof valley.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates generally to rain gutters, and more particularly to connecting and supporting devices for rain gutters installed on residential and other small buildings.[0002]Rain gutters for residential buildings and the like are typically made of roll-formed aluminum gutter troughs installed along the eaves of the roof. Various accessory devices are used to install the rain gutter troughs and their associated downspouts to the eaves. For example, devices known as gutter hangers are used to attach the gutter troughs to fascia boards running along the eaves. Various other devices, generally known in the trade as corner miters, are used to connect the ends of gutter troughs where they intersect at a corner of a roof. It is an improved device of the latter type to which the present invention is addressed.[0003]Two types of corner miters have been widely used in the past to join roll-formed aluminum gutters. The first type is referred to ...
