ABSTRACT:
A device for diverting water flow along vertical side edges of an exterior window frame according to the present invention incoperates an upper mounting portion for fixedly attaching to a vertical side edge of an exterior window frame, and a lower deflecting portion fixedly formed along a lower portion of the upper mounting portion. The lower deflecting portion has an inwardly curved and tapered surface along which water to be diverted flows and is deflected outwardly. More specifically, in this embodiment, the upper mounting portion includes left and right side portions fixedly positioned at a right angle relative to each other, whereby the upper mounting portion is fixedly positionable within a corner recess of the vertical side edge of the window frame. In addition, the lower deflecting portion includes left and right side surfaces, each side surface having a radius of curvature defined such that the left and right side surfaces curve and taper inwardly, whereby water flowing along the lower deflecting portion is deflected outward and away from the window frame. The left and right side surfaces are fixedly positioned below the left and right side portions, respectively, of the upper mounting portion.
