Abstract

A system for handling high volume and velocity rain water in valleys of roofs. An outer frame has a central opening defined by the frame, and a fluid transparent layer is secured to the frame, occupying the opening. The system according to the invention is installed in an opening in a gutter protection system at the base of the roof valley in order to receive rain water which may otherwise overshoot the gutter protection system at the roof valley.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A roof valley system for a gutter protection system comprising
 a. a substantially rigid but pliable outer frame having a central opening defined by said frame, and   b. a fluid transparent layer occupying said opening and secured to said frame.   
     
     
         2 . The roof valley system according to  claim 1 , in which said frame and said opening are generally triangular. 
     
     
         3 . The roof valley system according to  claim 1 , in which said fluid layer is secured to one side of said frame proximate said opening by an adhesive. 
     
     
         4 . The roof valley system according to  claim 3 , in which said adhesive is silicone. 
     
     
         5 . The roof valley system according to  claim 1 , in which said fluid transparent layer is reticular. 
     
     
         6 . The roof valley system according to  claim 1 , in which said fluid transparent layer is a nylon matrix. 
     
     
         7 . The roof valley system according to  claim 1 , in which said frame includes first and second frame elements joined at a defined angle, said defined angle being substantially equal to a valley angle of a roof valley in which said roof valley system is to be installed. 
     
     
         8 . A roof valley system for a gutter protection system, comprising
 a. a substantially rigid but pliable, generally triangular outer frame having a generally triangular central opening, and   b. a fluid transparent layer occupying said opening and secured to one side of said frame by an adhesive.   
     
     
         9 . The roof valley system according to  claim 8 , in which said adhesive is silicone. 
     
     
         10 . The roof valley system according to  claim 8 , in which said fluid transparent layer is reticular. 
     
     
         11 . The roof valley system according to  claim 8 , in which said fluid transparent layer is a nylon matrix. 
     
     
         12 . The roof valley system according to  claim 8 , in which said frame includes first and second frame elements joined at a defined angle, said defined angle being substantially equal to a valley angle of a roof valley in which said roof valley system is to be installed.
