Low-profile miter apparatus and system
View Patent ↗A gutter cover inside miter to be used with both open valley and closed valley roof miters, where the gutter cover inside miter is formed by coupling two primary member having a stem, legs, a tapered trough, a diverter and a plurality of draining and guide vents oriented to accommodate a variety of water flows. The gutter cover inside miter is also used with an underlying gutter cover as a system to improve the functionality of the gutter cover.
1. A gutter cover inside miter comprising:
a stem comprising a plurality of vents formed therein,
a leg extending from the stem at an acute angle;
a trough formed in the leg wherein the trough is wider at the center of the miter than at the outer edge; and
a raised diverter formed on the leg and adjacent the trough and forming an angled junction with the trough, the diverter comprising drains.
2. The gutter cover inside miter of claim 1 , wherein the acute angle is approximately forty-five degree angle with the stem.
3. The gutter cover inside miter of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of water flow slowing vents formed in the stem formed orthogonal to an edge of the primary panel member.
4. The gutter cover inside miter of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of vents formed in the trough.
5. The gutter cover inside miter of claim 1 further comprising a plurality of vents formed in the diverter positioned to direct the flow of water and allow water to pass therethough.
6. The gutter cover inside miter system of claim 1 further comprising a diverter forming a boundary of the trough.
7. The gutter cover inside miter system of claim 1 further comprising a cut out.
8. The gutter cover inside miter system of claim 1 further comprising a flex slot.
9. The gutter cover inside miter system of claim 1 further comprising oval shaped drain vents positioned so that the long axis of the oval is orthogonal to the direction of flowing rain water.
10. A gutter cover inside miter system comprising:
a Y-shaped miter;
a water gutter coupled to the edge of a roof;
a low-profile gutter cover inside miter comprising a stem portion and a leg portion, the leg portion extending outward from the stem;
wherein the gutter cover inside miter has a profile that includes a trough separating a panel portion from a raised diverter; and
wherein the panel portion of the gutter cover profile is disposed substantially over the roof and the trough and raised diverter of the gutter cover profile are disposed substantially over the water gutter.
11. The gutter cover system of claim 9 , wherein the stem portion includes a plurality of vents.
12. The gutter cover system of claim 10 , wherein the plurality of elongated vents and oriented such that the widest portion of the elongated vent is perpendicular to flow of water over the inside miter.
13. The gutter cover system of claim 9 , wherein the trough of the gutter cover profile includes a plurality of vents.
14. The gutter cover system of claim 9 , wherein the raised diverter of the gutter cover profile includes a plurality of vents.
15. The gutter cover system of claim 9 , wherein the raised diverter of the gutter cover profile is substantially triangular in shape.
16. The gutter cover system of claim 9 , wherein the trough and raise diverter of the gutter cover profile is disposed on the leg portion.
