Abstract:
The present invention is a gutter system comprising at least a gutter section and one or more downspout sections. It may further incorporate one or more elbow sections. Each of the gutter, downspout and elbow sections may incorporate at least one see-through section. Such see-through sections allow for the monitoring of the rainwater flow and debris in the gutter system. This monitoring facilitates detection of the exact spot of where debris collects in the gutter system, so that blockages in the gutter system can be predicted and prevented, debris build-up in the gutter system can be cleaned, and the gutter system can be repaired. Rainwater runoff can flow through the gutter system, and unnecessary cleaning of the gutter system, and the cost thereof, can be avoided. The elbow sections may incorporate an access port for access to the interior of the elbow, to permit the removal of debris therefrom.

Claim (Index 10):
A gutter system downspout elbow section comprising:\n an inner-bend wall, an outer-bend wall, and two opposed spaced apart side walls connected to each of the inner-bend wall and outer-bend wall, at least one of the inner-bend wall, the outer-bend wall and the side walls incorporating an opaque section and at least one longitudinal see-through section integrated with the opaque section and selected to facilitate viewing of an interior of the elbow section, an access port provided in at least one of the inner-bend wall, the outer-bend wall, and the side walls, the access port having a peripheral wall portion defining an opening therein, an access port cover configured for removable securement over said access port, to selectively prevent or permit access to the interior of said elbow section via said opening, the inner-bend wall, the outer-bend wall, the side walls and the access port cover each selected to permit the substantially unimpeded flow of liquid and debris within interior of the elbow section, when the access port cover is secured over said access port.
