Claim:
A portable fluid draining manifold positional on a roof for channeling water and debris downwardly into an existing gutter, said fluid draining manifold comprising: a primary shaft including a first passageway, said first passageway being longitudinally oriented along an entirely unobstructed longitudinal length of said primary shaft; a plurality of outwardly flanged auxiliary shafts removably coupled to said primary shaft, each of said auxiliary shafts having a linear longitudinal length registered along a unique axis that is coplanar with a central portion of said primary shaft; and means for redirecting fluid along alternate travel paths that are transversely bridged between said auxiliary shafts such that a concentrated stream of fluid is redirected to said primary shaft when at least one of said auxiliary shafts is clogged with debris; wherein said auxiliary shafts converge towards said primary shaft such that the concentrated stream of fluid is centrally deposited at a central portion of said primary shaft; wherein said auxiliary shafts comprise first, second and third auxiliary shafts defining first, second and third auxiliary passageways leading towards said first passageway; wherein said fluid redirecting means comprises a primary valve intermediately situated at said primary shaft and located downstream of said first passageway; first, second and third auxiliary valves situated within proximal ends of said first, second and third auxiliary passageways respectively and being disposed upstream of said first passageway; a first fluid transfer shaft connected to said first and second auxiliary shafts respectively, said first fluid transfer shaft being spaced from said third auxiliary shaft; and a second fluid transfer shaft connected to said second and third auxiliary shafts respectively, said second fluid transfer shaft being spaced from said first auxiliary shaft; wherein said first and second fluid transfer shafts define first and second fluid transfer passageways that selectively redirect fluid between said first, second and third auxiliary shafts prior to reaching said primary shaft; wherein each of said first, second and third auxiliary valves are equally tensioned when adapted between open and closed positions respectively.
