AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an eavestrough cover that prevents extraneous matter from entering while still allowing water to pass through efficiently. The cover has sufficient rigidity to be easily secured in place. The cover has a central portion that is made of a woven material that has been embossed in a transverse direction to improve its rigidity. The cover is designed to fit into an eavestrough with a rear wall, bottom wall, front wall, and a vertical segment formed at the upper portion of the front wall, as well as a top wall and downwardly extending diagonal segment.

Problems solved by technology

These can lead to clogging of the eavestrough, either at the downspout or elsewhere.
This in turn can lead to water back up into adjacent structures.
Wood rot and other problems can then occur.

Embodiment Construction

[0026]Referring to the drawings in greater detail and by reference characters thereto, there is illustrated an eavestrough cover which is generally designated by reference numeral 10.

[0027]Eavestrough cover 10 has a front longitudinally extending portion generally designated by reference numeral 12 and a rear longitudinally extending portion generally designated by reference numeral 14. A central portion generally designated by reference numeral 16 is formed of a suitable woven material as is known in the art. Central portion 16 has a plurality of longitudinally extending filaments 18 and transversely extending filaments 20 which together form the woven material.

[0028]Formed in the woven material are a plurality of transversely extending embossments 22. As may be seen, embossments 22 extend upwardly—i.e. the embossed portion is on the upper surface of the woven material with reference to the normal placement of the eavestrough cover 10.

[0029]Front longitudinally extending portion 12...

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.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to an eavestrough cover and more particularly, relates to an eavestrough cover or screen which permits the flow of water into a gutter while preventing debris from collecting in the gutter or eavestrough.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The use of eavestrough covers (also known as gutter guards) is well known in the art. These eavestrough covers have gained popularity as the problem of clogged gutters is almost universal. Irrespective of the climate, leaves and other debris find their way into the eavestrough. These can lead to clogging of the eavestrough, either at the downspout or elsewhere. This in turn can lead to water back up into adjacent structures. Wood rot and other problems can then occur.[0003]In order to overcome this problem, the use of eavestrough covers is widely practiced. These eavestrough covers permit the passage of water into the eavestrough or gutter while preventing extraneous matter from entering the e...
