View Patent ↗An eavestrough having a front wall, rear wall and top wall with a foraminous membrane extending between the rear wall and front wall, and a recess formed between the eavestrough top wall and the foraminous membrane which permits reversal of water flow flowing towards the recess.
1. An eavestrough having an eavestrough front wall, an eavestrough rear wall, an eavestrough top wall, an eavestrough bottom wall, and a foraminous membrane extending between said eavestrough rear wall and said eavestrough front wall, the improvement wherein membrane has a planar central portion, a first upwardly extending side portion connected to said planar central portion, a recess extending between said eavestrough top wall and said foraminous membrane, said recess connected to said first upwardly extending side portion, said recess having a reverse C-shaped configuration of a continuous arcuate nature, said recess extending inwardly of said eavestrough top wall to thereby permit the reversal of, water flow flowing towards said recess by said water flow following the contour of said recess thereby flowing upwardly and being directed towards said planar central portion.
2. The eavestrough of claim 1 wherein said eavestrough and said foraminous membrane are a single unitary member.
3. The eavestrough of claim 1 wherein said foraminous membrane has a U-shaped structure adjacent said eavestrough rear wall, said U-shaped structure enclosing an upper portion of said eavestrough rear wall.
4. The eavestrough of claim 3 wherein said foraminous membrane has a second upwardly extending side portion intermediate said U-shaped structure and said planar central portion.
5. The eavestrough of claim 4 wherein said eavestrough is formed of a metallic material.
