Leaf trap assembly

DETAILED DESCRIPTION A leaf trap assembly is adapted for interposing in a downspout to separate solid matter from rain water flowing through the downspout.
The assembly comprises an elongated hollow body dimensioned for attachment to upper and lower sections of a downspout to provide a continued path for the flow of rain water.
The hollow body has an opening in one vertical side.
A detachable door is dimensioned to cover the hollow body opening.
A foraminous receptacle is dimensioned to fit inside the elongated hollow body.
The receptacle is mounted on the inside surface of the detachable door in a manner which allows it to be completely separated therefrom.
The receptacle has an open top side to allow the solid matter to pass into it and a partially open backside which in use is adjacent the door's inside surface.
Latch means are provided on the receptacle and door to permit ready removal and replacement of the receptacle on the door.
The receptacle is periodically cleaned by removing the door from the assembly, removing the foraminous receptacle from the door and emptying the receptacle by dumping the solid matter through the open sided backside.
