The present invention is a system for automated product design and approval comprising a design creation and approval subsystem, an ordering and quotation subsystem, a purchase authorization subsystem, a work orders and production subsystem, a shipping subsystem and an invoicing subsystem. The system includes numerous features that facilitate product design and approval, such as creation of a product template by selecting a product category and subcategory from a dropdown menu, a design request form, an interactive movie for design edits, and generation of a purchase authorization when a design has been approved. The system automatically generates Supplier quote forms, Manufacturer quote forms, Company quote forms, purchase orders, work orders, packing slips and electronic invoices. The system has automated calendaring and notification features and allows product images and source art files to be uploaded. A method of using the automated system described above.

An automatic downspout system for automatically extending a downspout during periods of precipitation and retracting the downspout during periods of no precipitation. The automatic downspout system includes an upper tube, a lower tube having a lower reservoir, wherein the lower tube is slidably positioned about a lower end of the upper tube, a lower opening and a side opening within the lower tube, a downspout member pivotally attached to the lower tube, and a ballasting structure connected to the lower tube and the downspout member for extending the downspout member when the lower tube is lowered.

An automatic downspout assembly includes an intake pipe that is fluidly coupled to a downspout of a gutter on a building to receive precipitation from the downspout. A spout is rotatably coupled to and extends laterally away from the intake pipe and the spout is in fluid communication with the intake pipe to receive the precipitation. A stand is positionable beneath the intake pipe when the intake pipe is fluidly coupled to the downspout to support the intake pipe above a support surface. A tipping pipe is fluidly coupled to the spout to receive precipitation from the spout. The tipping pipe is biased into a home position and the tipping pipe can be urged into a tipped position when the tipping pipe fills with precipitation. In this way the tipping pipe directs the precipitation onto ground.
