4 Claims, 3 Drawing figures PLASTIC GUTTER EXPANSION JOINT CONSTRUCTION This invention relates to building construction materials and more particularly to a novel plastic gutter expansion joint construction.
Plastic building materials, such as siding and the like are coming into wide use as a substitute for wood by reason of their durability, appearance and decreased maintenance, since painting is not required. However, such plastic materials have at least one deficiency not present with wood, in that they expand and contract to a considerable extent as a result of changes in ambient temperature and hence are subject to unsightly buckling. The problems so created have generally been solved with units of relatively small dimensions, such as siding units, in part by providing slotted nailing openings and not nailing tightly so that the units are free to move to a limited extent and so do not buckle.
With units of large dimensions, however, the use of such slots and free nailing is not sufficient to allow for the necessary expansion, which may, for example, with a vinyl plastic amount to of the order of an inch in a 50 foot length, so that plastic units of such size have not heretofore been much used. For example, building construction elements such as gutters which must be both rigid and waterproof over relatively long lengths, have not heretofore been considered to be practical in plastic, even though they were known to be desirable, particu- I larly in conjunction with the use of other plastic building materials.
Accordingly, it is a major object of the present invention to provide a practical plastic gutter both rigid and waterproof in the long lengths required.
This has been accomplished by providing a plastic gutter expansion joint construction comprising, in general, a pair of mutually supported telescopic first and second overlapping rigid plastic gutter sections having overlapping ends and a flexible plastic expansion bellows extending between said first and second sections therewithin, said bellows having opposite end portions each bonded to said first and second sections providing a watertight expansion joint across the telescoping end portions of said sections. More specifically, in order to provide mutual support in a construction wherein the gutter sections have identical cross section dimensions including a vertical rear wall, a bottom wall and a front wall having on its upper edge a flange extending generally horizontally toward said rear wall, the bottom and front walls of the second section lie outside of the bottom and front walls of the first section to support said first section by said second section against movement in a downward direction and the flange of the section section overlies the front wall of said first section to support said second section by said first section against movement in a downward direction. This may be accomplished by providing,
in the first one of said sections, a first opening in the bottom wall adjacent the rear wall and a second opening in the front wall adjacent the flange with the rear wall of the second one of the sections passing through the first opening and the flange of the second section passing through the second opening.
For the purpose of more fully explaining the above and still further objects and features of the invention, reference is now made to the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof, together with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is an isometric view of the plastic gutter expansion joint construction of the invention; and
FIGS. 2 and 3 are cross-sectional views of the construction of FIG. 1 taken on lines 2--2 and 3-3, respectively, of FIG. 1.
Referring to the drawings, the plastic gutter expansion joint construction of the invention includes a pair of rigid plastic gutter sections, generally designated 12 and 14, with a flexible plastic bellows member, generally designated 16, extending therebetween. Rigid vinyl may be used for gutter sections 12 and 14 and sufficiently flexible vinyl for bellows member 16.
Gutter sections 12 and 14 have identical cross section dimensions and comprise vertical rear walls 20, 21, a flat or curved bottom wall 22, 23 joined to said rear walls at the bottom edge thereof and front walls 24, '25. Rear walls 20, 21 have on their upper edges flanges 26, 27 extending generally horizontally toward said front walls and front walls 24, 25 have on their upper edges flanges 28, 29 having downwardly directed free edges, said flanges extending generally horizontally toward said rear wall. A bracket 18 may be provided for supporting the gutter sections.
Gutter sections 12, 14 in order to provide mutual support for one another and so uniquely provide a rigid, telescoping expansion joint construction, have overlapping ends, with the rear wall 27 of gutter section 14 lying inside of the rear wall 26 of gutter section 12, the bottom wall 23 and front wall 25 of gutter section 14 lying outside of the bottom wall 22 and front wall 24 of gutter section 12 to support gutter section 12 by gutter section 14 against movement in a downward direction and flange 29 of gutter section 14 overlying the front wall 24 of gutter section 12 to support gutter section 14 by gutter section 12 against movement in a downward direction.
In order to provide such overlapping mutually supporting configuration, gutter section 12 has an opening in the form of a slot 32 having a closed end in the bottom wall 22 extending from its terminal portion along rear wall 20 and an opening 34 with a closed end in front wall 24 adjacent flange 28, said slot and opening permitting a substantial degree of axial telescoping sliding movement of gutter sections relatively to one another with said sections remaining overlapped in mutually self-supporting condition.
For providing the necessary watertight integrity of the above described sliding connection between the two sections, the invention provides a flexible vinyl expansion bellows member 16 of the general cross-sectional shape of gutter sec-- tions 12 and 14 extending between and overlapping said sections therewithin along their rear bottom and front walls, said bellows member having opposite flat end portions l7, l9 bonded to the walls of sections 12 and 14, respectively, by suitable cement, providing a watertight expansion joint across the telescoping end portions of said sections.
In use, it is simply necessary to nail a suitable series of brackets 18 to the building structure and then to a support thereon, as shown in FIG. 1, a gutter including the expansion joint construction of the invention, the novel expansion joint of the invention providing a high degree of freedom of axial movement of the so-connected gutter sections as will occur due to ambient temperature changes, effectively preventing buckling thereof. At the same time, the novel rigid telescoping construction of the joint will prevent sagging thereat, as would otherwise occur.
