Abstract

A system for preventing buildup of snow, ice and icicles ( 301 ) from the sides of a roof, a building or the vertical front of a gutter ( 100, 203 ), a tunnel or a roof wall or a cliff along roads or railroads outside a tunnel comprising a profile ( 102, 202 ) that is attached to a gutter ( 100, 203 ) and a rail ( 104 ) attached to said profile ( 102, 202 ) further characterized by that said profile ( 102, 202 ) continues downwards from the upper edge ( 105, 201 ) of the outward facing side of the gutter and ends up in a lip ( 103 ), said profile ( 102, 202 ) continues from the inside of said lip ( 103 ) to the underside of the gutter ( 100, 203 ) to form a part where said rail ( 104 ) is attached.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 - 14 . (canceled) 
     
     
         15 . A system for preventing buildup of snow, ice and icicles from the sides of a roof, a building or the vertical front of a gutter, a tunnel or a roof wall or a cliff along roads or railroads outside a tunnel comprising
 a profile that is attached to a gutter and a rail attached to said profile   further characterized in that said profile continues downwards from the upper edge of the outward facing side of the gutter and ends up in a lip,   said profile continues from the inside of said lip to the underside of the gutter to form a part where said rail is attached.   
     
     
         16 . The system as described in  claim 15  wherein said profile is attached in one end to the upper edge of the outward facing side of the gutter. 
     
     
         17 . The system as described in  claim 15  wherein said profile is attached to the gutter in a second place using either screws, rivets, clips or glue. 
     
     
         18 . The system as described in  claim 17  wherein said rail and said second place the profile is attached to the gutter is the same place. 
     
     
         19 . The system as described in  claim 15  wherein said part where the rail is attached ends up in a downwards bend. 
     
     
         20 . The system as described in  claim 15  wherein said gutter and the profile is put together by two or more pieces into one unit ready to be mounted. 
     
     
         21 . The system as described in  claim 15  wherein said gutter and the profile is in one continuous unit. 
     
     
         22 . The system as described in  claim 15  wherein said system is interactive with a warning system giving a visual or aural warning signal when said system is active. 
     
     
         23 . The system as described in  claim 20  wherein the inner side of the gutter is higher than the outer side of the gutter. 
     
     
         24 . The system as described in  claim 21  wherein this elongated inner side extends underneath the roof board fittings. 
     
     
         25 . The system as described in  claim 21  wherein the gutter is produced in a thick material, to provide the required stiffness in order to make it a self-contained construction. 
     
     
         26 . The system as described in  claim 21  wherein the upper edge of the outward facing side of the gutter is curled inwards. 
     
     
         27 . The system as described in  claim 21  wherein the profile is made in a light weight material with the bends and joints providing the required stiffness. 
     
     
         28 . The system as described in  claim 21  wherein the profile can be made in two or more separate parts each having different thickness. 
     
     
         29 . The system as described in  claim 23  wherein this elongated inner side extends underneath the roof board fittings. 
     
     
         30 . The system as described in  claim 23  wherein the gutter is produced in a thick material, to provide the required stiffness in order to make it a self-contained construction. 
     
     
         31 . The system as described in  claim 23  wherein the upper edge of the outward facing side of the gutter is curled inwards. 
     
     
         32 . The system as described in  claim 23  wherein the profile is made in a light weight material with the bends and joints providing the required stiffness. 
     
     
         33 . The system as described in  claim 23  wherein the profile can be made in two or more separate parts each having different thickness.
