  • Publication number: 20230323672
    Abstract: A pivotable downspout extension system includes an adapter coupleable to a fixed-position downspout, an extension arm pivotally coupled to the adapter, the extension arm having a housing having counterweight apertures, counterweights configured to be received within the counterweight apertures, and a water channel extending from the housing, the water channel forming a pocket where the water channel joins the housing. The water channel remains substantially vertical until water weight exceeds the weight of the counterweights and causes the water channel to pivot and release water.

  • Patent number: 11434639
    Abstract: A pivotable downspout extension system includes an adapter coupleable to a fixed-position downspout via a downspout aperture, a bucket hingedly coupleable to the adapter, and an extension arm. The extension arm is received by an extension arm receiving portion located on the bucket. The bucket and the extension arm remain in a substantially vertical position until a sufficient amount of water enters the bucket so as to overcome the weight of a weight chamber of the bucket and move the bucket's center of gravity. The bucket with the extension arm then pivots on a fulcrum point, allowing the water to exit the extension arm. Once emptied, the weight chamber of the bucket pivots the bucket and extension arm to the substantially vertical position.
