  • Patent number: 4722480
    Abstract: Improved water discharge devices mountable on the bottom of standard downspouts. The front of the devices contain holes through which water is discharged while the back or interior of the devices certain slanted or angled surfaces which act to increase the water pressure by deflecting and directing water out the holes for wider distribution over the ground without gouging caused by standard downspouts. A slidably raisable back door is provided at the bottom of the device for removing debris from the devices if necessary. A de-clogging section which is mounted upstream of the discharge device, consisting of a screen and a deflector plate, removes leaves and other debris from rainwater passing through the downspout before such debris reaches the bottom discharge devices.
