Abstract

In order to seal gutters at the ends with low output, an end wall ( 10 ) of a gutter ( 30 ) is provided for surface drainage, comprising a plate element ( 11 ) which can be secured at a first or a second end of the gutter ( 30 ) substantially sealingly closing a cross-section of the gutter ( 30 ). In addition, the ends ( 31, 32 ) of the gutter ( 30 ) are formed differently. According to the invention, in order to reduce the output, the plate element ( 11 ) can be secured at the first end ( 31 ) of the gutter ( 30 ) with a first edge ( 12 ) oriented upwards or can be secured at the second end ( 32 ) with a second edge ( 13 ) oriented upwards. In this way, an adjustment can be made to both differently formed ends ( 31, 32 ) of the gutter ( 30 ) by simply rotating the plate element.

Claims (13)

1. A headboard ( 10 ) of a surface drainage gutter ( 30 ) comprising:

a. a plate element ( 11 ) having a cross-section of the gutter ( 30 ), the plate element ( 11 ) comprising a first face and a second face defined by two vertical edges ( 16 , 17 ) opposite one another, and a first edge ( 12 ) arranged opposite a second edge ( 13 ), the vertical edges ( 16 , 17 ) each comprising a pair of mounted fastening devices ( 14 , 14 ′, 15 , 15 ′),

b. the gutter ( 30 ) comprises counter-elements ( 33 ) for engagement with the fastening devices ( 14 , 14 ′, 15 , 15 ′) of the plate element ( 11 ), a first end ( 31 ) and a second end ( 32 ) formed differently from one another,

wherein the plate element ( 11 ) can be sealably fastened to both the first end ( 31 ) and the second end ( 32 ) of the gutter ( 30 ), and

wherein when the plate element ( 11 ) is fastened in a sealing manner to the first end ( 31 ) of the gutter ( 30 ), the first edge ( 12 ) points upwards and when the plate element ( 11 ) is fastened in a sealing manner to the second end ( 32 ) of the gutter ( 30 ), the second edge ( 13 ) points upwards.

2. The headboard according to claim 1 , wherein the pair of mounted fastening devices ( 14 , 14 ′, 15 , 15 ′) on the vertical edges ( 16 , 17 ) are spaced at equal distanced along the length of the vertical edges ( 16 , 17 ) and away from the first edge ( 12 ) and the second edge ( 13 ).

3. The headboard according to claim 1 , wherein the fastening devices ( 14 , 14 ′; 15 , 15 ′) are snap-in hooks that engage the counter-elements ( 33 ) of the gutter ( 30 ).

4. The headboard according to claim 1 , wherein the plate element ( 11 ) comprises an elastic sealing layer ( 18 ) with a contour that is adapted to the first end ( 31 ) and the second end ( 32 ) of the gutter ( 30 ).

5. The headboard according to claim 1 , wherein the first edge ( 12 ) and the second edge ( 13 ) of the plate element ( 11 ) comprise a reinforcement ( 19 , 20 ).

6. The headboard according to claim 5 , wherein the reinforcement ( 19 , 20 ) is made of sheet metal.

7. The headboard according to claim 1 , wherein an additional plate element ( 21 ) is fastened to the first end ( 31 ) or the second end ( 32 ) of the gutter ( 30 ) and pressed in a sealing manner onto a side surface ( 34 ) of another gutter to form a T-piece.

8. A gutter kit, comprising at least one gutter ( 30 ) and two headboards ( 10 ) according to claim 1 .

9. The headboard according to claim 1 , wherein the first face comprises a reinforcing rib ( 25 ) adjacent a metal reinforcement ( 20 ) on the first edge ( 12 ).
