Valley Overflow Inhibitor

Abstract

A device to be positioned within the direct flow of water within an inside corner of a roof valley for the purpose of controlling low to high volumes and velocities of water, by impeding the natural direction of water flow and redirecting and redistributing said water in a downward and outward direction, in the area wherein the roof valley meets an inside corner of a guttering device. This device is utilized so that water flowing down the roof valley does not overflow or over-shoot a gutter or gutter guard device installed at the inside corner of the roof. This semi-rigid device is comprised of a screen or mesh for filtration of water and a funnel-type body which functions to redirect and distribute the filtered water, traveling down the roof valley shingles, into a gutter device without direct attachment to said gutter.

The invention I claim is: 
     
         1 . A device, positioned within an inside corner of a roof valley, being independent of an associated gutter, wherein water shall maintain contact with the roof shingles until passing the last of said shingles then proceed through an inlet and an outlet, being forcefully redirected and redistributed in a downward and outward direction into an associated gutter; the device being comprised of: a filtering portion, being that which extends from the body portion, wherein water is separated from debris; and a body portion, wherein water travels through a funnel-shaped supporting structure; being comprised of: an inlet and an outlet, wherein water is funneled into the device; being comprised of: redirecting and redistributing components, wherein a forced, downward and outward, change in water direction is achieved by a series of internal and external channels and deflectors.
