Abstract (en)
The present disclosure concerns roof gutters, more particularly prefabricated modular U-shaped gutter elements for placement along roof edges or eaves. The gutter element is provided having a generally U-shaped cross-sectional profile defining two legs (2, 2'), closed by a base (3); a first and a second longitudinal edge (4, 4'); and, a first and a second termination (5, 5'); characterized in that the gutter's cross-sectional profile has at least one seating portion (6, 6') on each leg, corresponding to seating surfaces on the gutter element, which portions define overlaying construction lines (7, 7') intersecting each other (8) on the closed side of the U-shaped profile at an angle ± between 2 and 30 degrees; and, at least one of the first and second termination is tapered and/or widened allowing for a telescopic connection between similar elements. Such elements lend themselves for easy on-site assembly of both right and left downsloping gutters.
