Gutter debris chute assembly
View Patent ↗A gutter debris chute assembly includes a chute that has a pair of entries that is each attachable to a respective pair of gutters on a building to receive rain and debris from the gutters. The chute has an exit that is positioned between the entries. The exit is attachable to a downspout on the building to direct the rain and debris into the downspout. The chute curves downwardly between each of the entries and the exit thereby facilitating the chute to increase the velocity of the rain and debris when the rain and debris moves toward the exit. In this way the chute inhibits the debris from clogging in the chute. The chute has a plurality of vanes each is disposed in the chute and each of the vanes is oriented to surround the exit. Each of the vanes is curved thereby urging the rain and debris to flow in a circular direction to inhibit the debris from clogging in the downspout.

said front wall of each of said entries being integrated into a respective one of said first lateral edge and said second lateral edge of said first wall.
3. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said second wall has a plurality of holes each extending through said front surface and said back surface of said second wall thereby facilitating each of said holes to accommodate a fastener to fasten said second wall to facia of the building, said holes being arranged into a plurality of columns being spaced apart from each other and being distributed between said first lateral edge and said second lateral edge of said second wall.
4. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said exit has a plurality of intersecting walls such that said exit has a rectangular shape, each of said intersecting wall has an upper edge and a lower edge, said upper edge of each of said intersecting walls being integrated into said an outer surface of said first wall, said exit being aligned with said opening in said first wall, said opening in said first wall conforming to said upper edge of each of said intersecting walls of said exit, said lower edge of each of said intersecting walls defining an opening into said exit for insertably receiving the downspout.
5. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein each of said vanes is integrated into an inner surface of said first wall, said vanes being spaced apart from each other and being distributed around said opening in said first wall.
6. The assembly according to claim 1 , wherein each of said vanes is oriented to slope downwardly into said opening.
7. A gutter debris chute assembly to facilitate debris in a gutter to pass through a downspout without becoming lodges in the gutter, said assembly comprising:
a chute having a pair of entries each being attachable to a respective pair of gutters on a building wherein said chute is configured to receive rain and debris from the gutters, said chute having an exit being positioned between said entries, said exit being attachable to a downspout on the building wherein said chute is configured to direct the rain and debris into the downspout, said chute curving downwardly between each of said entries and said exit thereby facilitating said chute to increase the velocity of the rain and debris when the rain and debris moves toward said exit wherein said chute is configured to inhibit the debris from clogging in said chute, said chute having a plurality of vanes each being disposed in said chute, each of said vanes being oriented to surround said exit, each of said vanes being curved thereby urging the rain and debris to flow in a circular direction wherein said vanes are configured to inhibit the debris from clogging in the downspout, said chute having a first wall and a second wall, said first wall having a top edge and a rear edge, said first wall curving outwardly between said top edge and said rear edge such that said first wall defines a semi-spherical shape, said second wall being planar having a front surface and a rear surface, said rear edge being attached to said front surface of said second wall such that said rear edge defines a lower threshold of said second wall, each of said entries having a basal wall extending between a front wall and a rear wall, said rear wall of each of said entries being integrated into a respective one of a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge of said second wall, said rear wall of each of said entries being offset from said second wall toward said first wall, said basal wall of each of said entries being integrated into a respective one of a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge of said second wall, said front wall of each of said entries being integrated into a respective one of said first lateral edge and said second lateral edge of said first wall, said first wall having an opening extending through said first wall wherein said opening is configured to pass the rain and debris through said opening, said opening being positioned adjacent to said second wall, said opening being aligned with an apex of said first wall, said second wall having a plurality of holes each extending through said front surface and said back surface of said second wall thereby facilitating each of said holes to accommodate a fastener to fasten said second wall to facia of the building, said holes being arranged into a plurality of columns being spaced apart from each other and being distributed between said first lateral edge and said second lateral edge of said second wall, said exit having a plurality of intersecting walls such that said exit has a rectangular shape, each of said intersecting wall having an upper edge and a lower edge, said upper edge of each of said intersecting walls being integrated into said an outer surface of said first wall, said exit being aligned with said opening in said first wall, said opening in said first wall conforming to said upper edge of each of said intersecting walls of said exit, said lower edge of each of said intersecting walls defining an opening into said exit for insertably receiving the downspout, each of said vanes being integrated into an inner surface of said first wall, said vanes being spaced apart from each other and being distributed around said opening in said first wall, each of said vanes being curved such that each of said vanes follows a curvature of said opening, each of said vanes being oriented to slope downwardly into said opening.
