Fluid Diversion Assembly

Abstract

A fluid diversion assembly for diverting the fluid in a selected direction includes a rail structured to have an upright portion extending upwardly from a horizontal portion. The rail may be positioned on a support surface such that the horizontal portion of the rail abuts the support surface. The horizontal portion of the rail is sloped such that the horizontal portion may divert a fluid in a selected direction. A plurality of fasteners is extended through the horizontal portion of the rail and engages the support surface such that the rail is retained on the support surface.

1 . A fluid diversion assembly comprising:
 a rail structured to have an upright portion extending upwardly from a horizontal portion, said rail being configured to be positioned on a support surface such that said horizontal portion of said rail abuts the support surface, a top side of and outer wall of said rail being sloped away from said upright portion such that said top side of said outer wall of said rail is configured to divert a fluid in a selected direction; and   a plurality of fasteners being extended through said horizontal portion of said rail and engaging the support surface such that said rail is retained on the support surface; and   said outer wall extending between each of a first end and a second end of said rail, said first and second ends of said rail being closed, said a top side extending upwardly from a bottom side of said rail, said top side of said outer wall of said rail being spaced upwardly from said bottom side of said outer wall of said rail such that said upright portion and said horizontal portion of said rail are substantially hollow.   
     
     
         2 . (canceled) 
     
     
         3 . The assembly according to  claim 2 , further comprising said top side of said outer wall of said rail having a pair of curves each being evenly spaced apart from a center of said rail, said pair of curves each extending between said first and second ends of said rail such that said pair of curves defines said upright portion of said rail. 
     
     
         4 . The assembly according to  claim 3 , further said top side of said outer wall of said rail sloping downwardly between said curves and an associated one of a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge of said bottom side of said outer wall of said rail such that said rail is configured to divert fluid away from said upright portion of said rail. 
     
     
         5 . The assembly according to  claim 4 , further comprising said bottom side of said outer wall of said rail abutting the support surface such that said upright portion of said rail extends upwardly from the support surface wherein said rail is configured to be oriented to divert the fluid in a selected direction with respect to the support surface. 
     
     
         6 . The assembly according to  claim 2 , further comprising said top side and said bottom side of said outer wall of said rail each having a plurality of apertures extending therethrough, said apertures being evenly spaced apart and distributed between said first and second ends of said rail, each of said apertures in said top side of said outer wall of said rail being aligned with an associated one of said apertures in said bottom side of said rail. 
     
     
         7 . The assembly according to  claim 6 , further comprising said apertures comprising a first set and a second set of apertures, each of said first and second sets of apertures being positioned proximate to and being coextensive with an associated one of a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge of said bottom side of said outer wall of said rail. 
     
     
         8 . The assembly according to  claim 1 , further comprising said fasteners each having a primary end and a secondary end, said fasteners being elongated between said primary and secondary ends, said fasteners each having a pair of bends thereon each being spaced apart such that said bends defines a central portion extending between each of a first oblique portion and a second oblique portion. 
     
     
         9 . The assembly according to  claim 8 , further comprising:
 said rail having an outer wall having a top side and a bottom side;   said top and bottom sides of said outer wall of said rail having a plurality of apertures extending therethrough;   said apertures comprising a first set and a second set of apertures;   said first oblique portion of each of said fasteners being extended downwardly through associated ones of said apertures in said top and bottom sides of said outer wall of said rail such that said central portion of said fasteners abuts said top side of said outer wall of said rail;   said second oblique portion of said fasteners extending downwardly into the support surface such that said rail is retained on the support surface; and   said fasteners being positioned in each of said first and second sets of said apertures.   
     
     
         10 . A fluid diversion assembly comprising:
 a rail, said rail having an outer wall extending between each of a first end and a second end of said rail, said first and second ends of said rail being closed, said outer wall of said rail having a top side extending upwardly from a bottom side of said rail, said top side of said outer wall of said rail being spaced upwardly from said bottom side of said outer wall of said rail such that an upright portion and a horizontal portion of said rail are substantially hollow;   said top side of said outer wall of said rail having a pair of curves each being evenly spaced apart from a center of said rail, said pair of curves each extending between said first and second ends of said rail such that said pair of curves defines said upright portion of said rail extending upwardly from said horizontal portion of said rail;   said top side of said outer wall of said rail sloping downwardly between said curves and an associated one of a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge of said bottom side of said outer wall of said rail such that said top side of said outer wall of said rail is configured to divert fluid away from said upright portion of said rail;   said rail being positioned on a support surface such that said bottom side of said outer wall of said rail abuts the support surface, said upright portion of said rail extending upwardly from the support surface wherein said rail is configured to be oriented to divert the fluid in a selected direction with respect to the support surface;   said top side and said bottom side of said outer wall of said rail each having a plurality of apertures extending therethrough, said apertures being evenly spaced apart and distributed between said first and second ends of said rail, each of said apertures in said top side of said outer wall of said rail being aligned with an associated one of said apertures in said bottom side of said rail;   said apertures comprising a first set and a second set of apertures, each of said first and second sets of apertures being positioned proximate to and being coextensive with an associated one of said first and second lateral edges of said bottom side of said outer wall of said rail;   a plurality of fasteners, said fasteners each having a primary end and a secondary end, said fasteners being elongated between said primary and secondary ends, said fasteners each having a pair of bends thereon each being spaced apart such that said bends defines a central portion extending between each of a first oblique portion and a second oblique portion;   said first oblique portion of each of said fasteners being extended downwardly through associated ones of said apertures in said top and bottom sides of said outer wall of said rail such that said central portion of said fasteners abuts said top side of said outer wall of said rail, said fasteners being positioned in each of said first and second sets of said apertures; and   said second oblique portion of said fasteners extending downwardly into the support surface such that said rail is retained on the support surface.
