Guttering systems
| Details |
Inventors: Robinson, Brian;
Assignee: Catnic Components Ltd. (Caerphilly, UK)
Primary Examiner: Faw, Jr.; Price C.
Assistant Examiner:
Attorney, Agent or Firm: Woodhams, Blanchard and Flynn
The invention relates to members for forming in use a complete guttering system which can be used for any slope of roof. There are two members, one a gutter-fascia member and the other a soffit member, and each member has a complementary part of a hinge or pivot so that when the two hinge or pivot parts are connected, a hinge or pivot is formed which allows relative rotation of the two members so that any roof pitch can be accommodated. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION I claim: 1.
Members of a combined fascia-soffit-gutter unit for the dispersal of rainwater from a roof of a building, comprising a preformed first member including a gutter portion and first hinge means, said first member also including a fascia portion, and a preformed second member including a soffit portion and second hinge means complementary to said first hinge means, whereby when the first and second hinge means are connected a hinge is formed so that said first member and said second member are connected for relative angular movement with respect to one another and comprise said combined fascia-soffit-gutter unit, and said first member further including a tilting portion integrally connected to the gutter portion at a part thereof remote from said fascia portion, said tilting portion being adapted, when used in connection with a sloping roof, to support a lower end of a tile of the roof in the course of tiles nearest said first member.
2.
The members as defined in claim 1, wherein said first and second hinge means are located at an extremity of said respective first and second members.
3.
The members as defined in claim 2, wherein said first and second hinge means each comprise arcuate components so arranged as to be adapted for a push-fit engagement one with the other for effecting said relative movement between said first and second members.
4.
The members as defined in claim 2, including securing means, said securing means being adapted to pass through said first and second hinge means to secure the first and second members against further relative movement after they have been moved relative to one another to a desired extent.
5.
Members as defined in claim 1, wherein said tilting portion is a generally inverted channel section portion.
6.
Members as defined in claim 5, wherein said tilting portion is adapted to engage means joined to roof members of a building, whereby said unit is maintained in position at said roof.
7.
Members as defined in claim 5, wherein said tilting portion includes a hinge portion at an upper end thereof, said hinge portion being remote from said first hinge means of said first member
