A discharge adaptor for downspouts to disburse rain water at a preselected distance away from the foundation of a building. The discharge adaptor having a mating unit, having a generally elbow shape having a vertical and horizontal portion. The vertical portion secured to the lower end of the downspout and the horizontal portion designed to terminate in a nozzle for the discharge of the rain water. The inner circumference of the horizontal portion of the mating unit having a decreasing circumference from the vertical portion of the mating unit to the nozzle portion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG.
1 is a side view of a typical downspout configuration affixed to the side of a dwelling which has been adapted to applicant's downspout distributor.
FIG.
1 illustrates a first embodiment of applicant's downspout distributor.
Typically, the downspout 10 would depend vertically downwardly from the gutters position horizontally along the edge of the roof (not shown).
The downspout 10 would be affixed to the outer sheathing 12 of the dwelling by means of a plurality of hooks 14 secured to the outer sheathing of the dwelling and which envelop all or a portion of the downspout 10 at various points.
Typically, the downspout 10 would terminate proximate the ground 14 with an elbow (not shown) which would direct the flow of water perpendicularly from the foundation 16 of the dwelling unit.
The elbow is easily removable from downspout 10 and applicant's adaptor can be installed.
In its simplest form, the adaptor comprises an adaptor mating unit 18 which is securable to the terminous of downspout 10.
A portion of downspout 10 projects inwardly into the adaptor mating unit 18.
The adaptor mating unit 18 has an elbow 19 and is secured to a longitudinal tube 20 of decreasing diameter which extends outwardly and away from foundation 16 and terminates in a sprinkler head 22.
Longitudinal tube 20 would be removably securable from adaptor mating unit 18, such that the owner or user could select a predetermined length of tubular member 20 in order to extend or direct the downflow of water the desired distance from the foundation 16.
Additionally, tubular member 20 may be secured to adaptor mating unit 18 in a rotatable fashion in such that it could swivel a desired degree of angularity in a horizontal plane as a result of the tubular member 20 and adaptor mating member 18 being swivelly mounted at 24.
This mounting means enables the user to disconnect the tubular member from the adaptor mating unit in order to flush out any leaves or accumulated debris which may deposit therein
