ABSTRACT:
A roof water dispersal system includes a plurality of longitudinally extending dispersal elements mounted near the edge of a roof structure for receiving and dispersing streams of roof run-off water. The dispersal elements are spaced apart from each other and assembled into a unit mounted to receive the streams of run-off roof water, and the individual elements within the overall assembly can vary in shape, thickness or material to provide an optimal balance between dispersal efficiency and strength of the overall assembly. The dispersal elements of the assembly are supported by transverse elements which maintain the dispersal elements in predetermined relative positions within the assembly and mount the overall assembly relative to the edge of the roof structure. The system of the present invention includes transverse supporting elements which are positioned above the longitudinally extending dispersal elements. A further feature includes lateral barrier elements mounted along the longitudinally dispersal elements and spaced a predetermined distance apart from each other to control lateral flow of water received by the dispersal elements. The improvements provided by the top-suspended rain dispersal assembly increase the efficiency of the roof-water dispersion operation and reduce ground erosion beneath the dispersal assembly.
