  • Patent number: 5579611
    Abstract: A roof water dispersal system includes a plurality of longitudinally extending dispersal elements mounted near the edge of a roof structure for receiving and dispersing streams of roof run-off water. The dispersal elements are spaced apart from each other and assembled into a unit mounted to receive the streams of run-off roof water, and the individual elements within the overall assembly can vary in shape, thickness or material to provide an optimal balance between dispersal efficiency and strength of the overall assembly. The dispersal elements of the assembly are supported by transverse elements which maintain the dispersal elements in predetermined relative positions within the assembly and mount the overall assembly relative to the edge of the roof structure. The system of the present invention includes transverse supporting elements which are positioned above the longitudinally extending dispersal elements.

The elements are spaced apart from each other and assembled into a unit mounted to receive the streams of run-off roof water. The individual elements within the assembly can vary in shape, thickness, or material to provide an optimum balance between dispersal efficiency and strength of the overall assembly. A weir is mountable near the edge of the roof and aligned with cross members of the rain dispersal assembly to divert the roof run-off water streams from impacting on regions of the assembly at which the dispersal elements intersect with cross members to prevent undesirable deflection or collection of run-off water at these regions.
