PIVOTABLE DOWNSPOUT EXTENSION SYSTEM

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a moveable diverter for water. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a downspout extension that is pivotable.

BACKGROUND

Downspouts are known in the industry to help navigate the flow of water away from a building or structure. Rain gutters, in some form or another, have been used for centuries to navigate water runoff. People in the industry use hoses, splash blocks, rain chains, and other attachments to navigate the water away from buildings or structures in order to protect from flooding and water damage. In other words, without the use of a rain gutter, water may pool around the foundation of a building, causing potential seepage into the building.

There are also rain spouts on the market that help extend the release of water farther out (e.g., downspout extensions). However, these current methods and spouts have to be moved and/or detached, and then subsequently reattached, while doing yardwork, such as mowing the lawn, weeding, or other chores. They may also become a hazard if extended into the yard when children are playing. Further, many downspout extensions are not aesthetically pleasing, moving attention away from the building.

While a majority of the downspout extensions are above ground, some are level with the ground or completely concealed underneath the ground. To have a partially concealed or fully concealed downspout extension takes a lot of time, effort, and money in digging a trench, purchasing gravel, and installing the extension. Last of all, attempts have been made to have a hinge-style downspout extension. For example, if the downspout extension needs to be moved, a user would manually lift the extension, folding it against the existing fixed-position downspout. However, the hinge-style downspout extensions still have many shortcomings, such as having to manually actuate the downspout extension every time it needs to be moved.

Accordingly, there is a need for a system and a method of releasing water from a gutter at a distance from a building or structure that does not obstruct the ground and is automatically moved into a lowered position or a vertical position depending on water flow.

SUMMARY OF EXAMPLE EMBODIMENTS

In one embodiment, a pivotable downspout extension system comprises 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 in a lowered position. Once emptied, the weight chamber of the bucket pivots the bucket and extension arm to the substantially vertical position.

In one embodiment, a pivotable downspout extension system may comprise one or more springs on an adapter, coupling a bucket to a fixed-position downspout. In such an embodiment, once the weight of the water in the bucket overcomes the force applied by the springs, the bucket and the extension arm pivot so as to release the water therefrom. Once the water is released, the spring retracts, pulling the bucket and the extension arm back into the substantially vertical position.

In one embodiment, the bucket comprises weight to hold the bucket in a substantially vertical position. When water enters the bucket, the bucket and the extension arm move to a lowered position. Due to the weight, the bucket would remain in a lowered position when water flow ceases. To move the bucket into a substantially vertical position, a user would manually raise the extension arm and the bucket.

In one embodiment, a pivotable downspout extension system comprises an adapter coupleable to a fixed-position downspout, the adapter comprising a water channel, a first arm, and a second arm; an extension arm pivotally coupled to the first arm and second arm of the adapter, the extension arm comprising a housing, the housing comprising counterweight apertures, counterweights configured to be received within the counterweight apertures, a first side and a second side coupled via a living hinge to form a channel, the channel extending from the housing, the channel forming a pocket for pooling water where the channel joins the housing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXAMPLE EMBODIMENTS

The following descriptions depict only example embodiments and are not to be considered limiting in scope. Any reference herein to “the invention” is not intended to restrict or limit the invention to exact features or steps of any one or more of the exemplary embodiments disclosed in the present specification. References to “one embodiment,” “an embodiment,” “various embodiments,” and the like, may indicate that the embodiment(s) so described may include a particular feature, structure, or characteristic, but not every embodiment necessarily includes the particular feature, structure, or characteristic. Further, repeated use of the phrase “in one embodiment,” or “in an embodiment,” do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, although they may.

Reference to the drawings is done throughout the disclosure using various numbers. The numbers used are for the convenience of the drafter only and the absence of numbers in an apparent sequence should not be considered limiting and does not imply that additional parts of that particular embodiment exist. Numbering patterns from one embodiment to the other need not imply that each embodiment has similar parts, although it may.

Accordingly, the particular arrangements disclosed are meant to be illustrative only and not limiting as to the scope of the invention, which is to be given the full breadth of the appended claims and any and all equivalents thereof. Although specific terms are employed herein, they are used in a generic and descriptive sense only and not for purposes of limitation. Unless otherwise expressly defined herein, such terms are intended to be given their broad, ordinary, and customary meaning not inconsistent with that applicable in the relevant industry and without restriction to any specific embodiment hereinafter described. As used herein, the article “a” is intended to include one or more items. When used herein to join a list of items, the term “or” denotes at least one of the items, but does not exclude a plurality of items of the list. For exemplary methods or processes, the sequence and/or arrangement of steps described herein are illustrative and not restrictive.

It should be understood that the steps of any such processes or methods are not limited to being carried out in any particular sequence, arrangement, or with any particular graphics or interface. Indeed, the steps of the disclosed processes or methods generally may be carried out in various sequences and arrangements while still falling within the scope of the present invention.

The term “coupled” may mean that two or more elements are in direct physical contact. However, “coupled” may also mean that two or more elements are not in direct contact with each other, but yet still cooperate or interact with each other.

The terms “comprising,” “including,” “having,” and the like, as used with respect to embodiments, are synonymous, and are generally intended as “open” terms (e.g., the term “including” should be interpreted as “including, but not limited to,” the term “having” should be interpreted as “having at least,” the term “includes” should be interpreted as “includes, but is not limited to,” etc.).

As previously discussed, there is a need for a system and a method of releasing water from a gutter at a distance from a structure that does not obstruct the ground and is automatically moved into a lowered position or a vertical position depending on water flow.

Downspouts and downspout extensions are used to move water away from foundations of buildings. Without them, foundations may fail, compromising the integrity of the building's foundation and, more than likely, causing substantial financial burdens. Further, downspout extensions come in a variety of forms, such as immovable metal arms, rubber or plastic arms, and, in some cases, the downspout extensions are buried. These downspouts are usually left in a single position and have to be moved to perform chores or create a safe environment. In contrast, the downspout system disclosed herein, generally, includes an adapter that may be coupled to an existing downspout. The adapter may be hingedly coupleable to a bucket that, with the absence of water, is in a vertical position.

However, when water enters a gutter system and travels down a fixed-position downspout to the downspout system, it fills a chamber of the bucket. As the weight distribution of the bucket changes due to the accumulation of water, the bucket will begin to pivot (for example, when a threshold amount of water outweighs the weighted bucket), lowering an extension arm to the ground that is coupled to the bucket and releasing the water. When water flow ceases, the weight distribution of the bucket returns to normal and the bucket, with the extension arm, returns to its vertical position. The downspout system may be automatically positioned in a vertical and lowered position due to the presence or absence of water, removing the burden of detaching and reattaching a downspout extension or burying a downspout extension.

As shown in FIGS. 1-3, in one embodiment, a pivotable downspout extension system 100 comprises an adapter 102 coupleable to a fixed-position downspout 104, a bucket 106 hingedly coupleable to the adapter 102, and an extension arm 108. The bucket 106 with the extension arm pivots on a fulcrum point when sufficient water has filled the bucket 106. It will be appreciated that the pivotable downspout extension system 100 may use an existing or a newly placed fixed-down spout 104 when coupling the adapter 102 thereto.

As shown in FIG. 4, the adapter 102 comprises a downspout aperture 110 for receiving the fixed-position downspout 104. Once the fixed-position downspout 104 is inserted therein, the adapter 102 is coupled to the fixed-position downspout 104 via a securement mechanism, such as screws, pins, etc. The securement mechanism may be inserted via a plurality of adapter apertures 112. While the adapter apertures 112 are shown, other attachment mechanisms may be used if apertures are not present, such as glue, crimping, etc.

Referring to FIGS. 4-7, the adapter 102 may further comprise a removably attachable sidewall 114, a fixed sidewall 116, a front wall 118, and a rear wall 120. The walls 114-120 comprise a lip 122 so as to limit the depth of insertion of the fixed-position downspout 104. The lip 122 allows the fixed-position downspout 104 to be consistently placed each time. The removably attachable side wall 114 may be removed from the adapter 102 so that the adapter 102 may be more easily coupleable to the fixed-position downspout 104. However, it will be appreciated that, in some embodiments, the adapter 102 is a single unit with no sidewalls removable therefrom. The front wall 118 comprises a water aperture 124 that extends between the removably attachable and fixed sidewalls 114, 116 and allows water traveling through the fixed-position downspout 104 to exit the pivotable downspout extension system 100. In addition, the water traveling through the adapter 102 is directed through the water aperture 124 via a slide 126 that is coupled to the rear wall 120 and the fixed sidewall 116. The gradual slope of the slide 126 controls the direction of the waterflow. While the slide 126 shown has a gradual slope, other angles of slopes may be used, such as a 45-degree angle. In some embodiments, the slide may comprise angled diverters (shown in FIGS. 17-18) to control the flow of water into the bucket 106 and prevent water from flowing around the bucket 106. The angled diverters may also prevent water from pooling on the ground around the building.

Further, the removably attachable sidewall 114 and the fixed sidewall 116 comprise connection arms 128A, 128B with coupling channels 130A, 130B at a distal end from the downspout aperture 110. As shown, the connection arms 128A, 128B may be hook-shaped or any other shape, such as straight descending arms that run parallel to the adapter 102. The connection arms 128A, 128B with the coupling channels 130A, 130B allow the adapter 102 to be hingedly coupleable to the bucket 106. It should be noted that the connection arms 128A, 128B are not limited to having coupling channels 130A, 130B and may include, for example, coupling apertures. Alternatively, the adapter 102 may couple to the bucket 106 via a rod that is inserted through apertures on the adapter 102 and on the bucket 106.

Referring to FIG. 8, the bucket 106 may comprise a removably attachable section 132 that allows a user to attach more easily, and adjust, the bucket 106. However, in some embodiments, the bucket 106 is a single unit. Further, as shown in FIGS. 9-12, the bucket 106 comprises a rear portion 134 and a front portion 136. The rear portion 134 may comprise a sloped housing 138 protruding therefrom, with at least one chamber 140 therein. Additional chambers may include a first air chamber 142 and a weight chamber 144. The weight chamber 144 may be filled with a weighted material, such as iron, tin, steel, sand, etc., or the weight of the chamber may be altered due to the material forming the weight chamber 144. Further, a user may add or remove weight to adjust the system to the length of the extension arm 108. In other words, for the bucket 106 to operate properly when water enters therein, the weight of the bucket 106 may need to change depending on the length of the extension arm 108. It will be appreciated that a user may add weight to the bucket 106 in a variety of ways, such as by adding sand, steel pellets, etc. (also referred to herein as a “weighted bucket”). The rear portion 134 further comprises connection arm channels 146A, 146B and connection pins 148A, 148B so as to receive the connection arms 128A, 128B. For example, the connection arms 128A, 128B are inserted into the connection arm channels 146A, 146B, with the connection pins 148A, 148B resting in the coupling channels 130A, 130B. This allows the bucket 106 to be hingedly coupled to the adapter 102, creating a fulcrum for the pivotable downspout extension system 100. It will be appreciated that other mechanisms for coupling the bucket 106 to the adapter 102 may be used, such as ball bearings coupled to the connection arms 128A, 128B that will reduce friction. Lastly, the rear portion 134 comprises protrusions 150A, 150B, located on each side of the sloped housing 138, to limit the movement of the bucket 106 when water enters. For instance, as water enters the bucket 106, the bucket 106 will pivot until the protrusions 150A, 150B contact a lower edge 151A, 151B (shown in FIG. 14) of the removably attachable sidewall 114 and the fixed sidewall 116, which allows the bucket 106 to pivot to a desired position to allow water to exit.

In addition, referring to FIG. 13, the front portion 136 comprises a plurality of chambers 152, which include a second air chamber 154 and a water chamber 156. The plurality of chambers 140, 142, 144, 152 for the front and rear portions 134, 136 may determine the vertical or lowered position of the bucket 106 when water is present or absent. While a plurality of chambers 140, 142, 144, 152 are shown, the bucket 106 may contain one or more chambers. In addition, the water and second air chamber 156, 154 may be separated by a divider 158 that is slanted so as to pool water away from the rear portion 134. In some embodiments, the water chamber 156 may comprise apertures to assist in draining any residual water when the bucket returns to the substantially vertical position.

The front portion 136 further comprises an extension arm receiving portion 160 that receives the extension arm 108. The extension arm 108 may be a piece of existing gutter cut to a desired length or a specifically made extension arm piece. In an alternate embodiment, the extension arm 108 is integrally formed with the bucket, making a single unit. The extension arm 108 may be coupled to the extension arm receiving portion 160 via, for example, crimping, glue, screws, etc. The bucket 106 and the extension arm 108 pivot into the lowered position, where water is released from a distal end of the extension arm 108. The extension arm 108, as shown in FIGS. 1-3, is of one length. However, the extension arm 108 may come in a variety of lengths, shapes, and sizes. For example, there may be a relatively short extension arm 108 that is cylindrical.

In one embodiment, the pivotable downspout extension system may comprise a channel running therethrough to accommodate heating tape or a heating coil to melt ice. More specifically, a covered channel may pass through some or all of the components of the pivotable downspout system, such as the adapter 102, the fixed-position downspout 104, the bucket 106, and the extension arm 108.

In one method of use, without water, the pivotable downspout extension system 100 has a stable equilibrium, with the extension arm 108 in a substantially vertical position (shown in FIG. 14). When water travels through a gutter system and to the fixed-position downspout 104, the water contacts the slide 126 of the adapter 102, the water is then directed into the water chamber 156. The water continues to collect until the equilibrium begins to be disturbed due to the center of gravity changing as additional water accumulates. Eventually, when the water exceeds a threshold amount (e.g., water weight exceeds the weights in the bucket) the bucket 106 pivots releasing the accumulated water via the extension arm 108 in the lowered position (shown in FIGS. 15-16). As water continues to travel through the pivotable downspout extension system 100, the bucket 106 and the extension arm 108 may stay in the lowered position. It will be appreciated that the sloped housing 138 assists water travel by acting as an additional path for the water. In other words, as the bucket 106 is lowered, the sloped housing 138 pivots and contacts the slide 126 so as to guide water coming from the slide 126 into the lowered extension arm 108. After water has ceased and the bucket 106 does not contain a threshold amount of water, the bucket 106, with the extension arm 108, returns to a substantially vertical position and a stable equilibrium due to the weighted chamber 144.

While the system 100 is shown in a substantially vertical or a lowered position, it will be appreciated that the system may be placed in more positions than a substantially vertical or a lowered position. For example, the bucket 106 and the extension arm 108 may be positioned at any angle between the lowered position and the substantially vertical position. The system 100 may not only be adjustable in the vertical and lowered positions but the side to side position may be adjusted as well. As an example, the pivotable downspout extension system 100 may pivot laterally, bringing the extension arm 108 closer to (e.g., parallel), or farther away from, the building on a horizontal plane. It will further be appreciated that the system 100 may be locked in a substantially vertical, lowered, or any other position via a securement mechanism, such as cotter pins, latches, etc.

In one embodiment, the bucket 106 comprises weight to hold the bucket 106 in a substantially vertical position. When water enters the bucket 106, the bucket 106 and the extension arm 108 move to a lowered position. Due to the weight, the bucket 106 remains in a lowered position (does not automatically move to the vertical position) when water flow ceases. To move the bucket 106 into a substantially vertical position, a user would manually raise the extension arm 108 and the bucket 106.

In one embodiment, a pivotable downspout extension system may comprise one or more springs on an adapter, coupling a bucket to a fixed-position downspout. In such an embodiment, once the weight of the water in the bucket overcomes the force applied by the springs, the bucket and the extension arm pivots so as to release the water therefrom. Once the water is released, the spring retracts, pulling the bucket and the extension arm back into the substantially vertical position.

Further, alternate designs of the adapter 102 and the bucket 106 may be shown in FIGS. 17-21. In particular, FIGS. 17-18 illustrate the adapter 102 having a different body design. FIGS. 19-21 also illustrate a different body design of the bucket 106.

Referring now to FIGS. 22-30, a pivotable downspout extension system 200 comprises an adapter 202 coupleable to a fixed-position downspout 204, and an extension arm 206 pivotally coupled to the adapter 202. The extension arm 206 comprises a housing 208 and a channel 210 extending from the housing 208. The housing 208 comprises one or more counterweights 212 receivable in a counterweight aperture 214A, 214B. In some embodiments, the counterweights 212 are enclosed in the counterweight aperture 214A, 214B using a cap 216A, 216B. The adapter 202 comprises a downspout aperture 218 for receiving the fixed-position downspout 204. The adapter 202 may be coupled to the downspout 204 via screws or other fasteners. The adapter 202 further comprises a water channel 220 to direct water from the fixed-position downspout 204 to the extension arm 206. The adapter 202 further comprises a first arm 222 and a second arm 224 for receiving a connection pin 226. For example, the first arm 222 and second arm 224 may be shaped like a hook so as to hold the connection pin 226. However, a hook shape is not required, and the pin 226 may pass through apertures in the first and second arms 222, 224, respectively. The connection pin 226 creates a fulcrum for the pivotable downspout extension system 200. In other words, the connection pin 226 passes through the housing 208 using pin apertures 229A, 229B, and couples to the first arm 222 and second arm 224 (e.g., rests in the hook of arms 222, 224), creating the fulcrum.

Referring now to FIGS. 31-35, the extension arm 206 comprises a first side 228 and a second side 230 coupled via a living hinge 232 (e.g., flexible plastic). The living hinge 232 allows the extension arm 206 to be produced in a single mold and then be bent into position via the living hinge 232 so as to form the water channel 210 yet remain watertight. This allows the pivotable downspout extension system 200 to be manufactured at a considerable cost savings (reduced manual labor to assemble components) and increases the longevity of the pivotable downspout extension system 200 because it has fewer components subject to failure. When folded into position forming the channel 210, the connection pin 226 ensures that the housing 208 remains coupled together, that the first side 228 and second side 230 form the channel 210, which may also be secured at a distal end using a clip 231 (FIG. 34) and/or other clips, and further facilitates coupling to the adapter 202 by simply inserting the connection pin 226 into the hook shape of the first and second arm 222, 224, respectively.

As appreciated, the counterweights 212 keep the channel 210 substantially vertical and proximal to the fixed-position downspout 204. In the vertical position, the counterweights 212 are positioned at the bottom, front side (the front side being where water exits channel 210). Water then flows down the fixed-position downspout 204, down the water channel 220 of the adapter 202 and is collected in a pocket 234 formed at the juncture of the channel 210 and the housing 208. Once the weight of the water in the pocket 234 exceeds that of the counterweights 212, the channel 210 pivots on the fulcrum point (i.e., connection pin 226) and the water is released down the channel 210 and away from the structure. In the horizontal position, the counterweights 212 are at the back of the adapter 202. Once the water flow ceases or the weight of the counterweights 212 exceed that of the pocket 234 and channel 210, the channel 210 pivots, due to the counterweights 212, to a substantially vertical position once again. Accordingly, the pivot point (at connection pin 226) is located on the front side, bottom side 227 of the adapter 202, in front of the downspout 204. This allows the downspout 204 to remain proximal or close to a structure while not interfering with the pivoting mechanism of the extension arm 206, overcoming problems in the prior art. Additionally, the extension arm 206 may be easily removed from the adapter 202 by simply lifting the extension arm 206 to free the connection pin 226 from the hooks (connection arms 128A, 128B). This allows a user to easily remove the extension arm 206, if needed, without the requirement of tools.

Accordingly, it will be appreciated that the pivotable downspout extension system 200 solves the need for a downspout extension that is easily coupleable to downspouts, that does not require the downspout 204 to be distanced from a structure, that pivots without power or sensors, and that is economical and durable. While the pivotable downspout extension system 200 is shown and described with a living hinge 232, a living hinge is not required and solid plastics or other materials may be used.

It will also be appreciated that systems and methods according to certain embodiments of the present disclosure may include, incorporate, or otherwise comprise properties or features (e.g., components, members, elements, parts, and/or portions) described in other embodiments. Accordingly, the various features of certain embodiments can be compatible with, combined with, included in, and/or incorporated into other embodiments of the present disclosure.
