Gutter guard

摘要

A rain gutter guard comprises a downward leg for abutting gutter hangers when the guard is urged down into the gutter. A shoulder of the guard accommodates the shoulder of the gutter hangers. A front attachment flap secures the front of the guard to the gutter while the rear is retained by friction fit of an angled segment against the building fascia. An upstanding wall separates the central portion from the attachment flap. The central portion is inclined rearward and the attachment flap inclines to the front.

A rain gutter guard made of a single piece of perforated sheet metal, bent into a shape from front to rear and adapted for use in a recessed position within a gutter, said gutter being mounted to a building wall by a series of spaced gutter hangers, each gutter hanger having a mounting shoulder proximal to said building wall, and an arm extending away from said shoulder in a direction away from said building wall, said gutter guard comprising:
a front, comprising a substantially flat attachment flap adapted to overlie a front lip of said gutter and wherein said sheet metal is folded underneath itself in a 180° turn, to form a front most edge that is a metal fold and therefore blunt; a substantially planar porous central web portion extending rearward from said front; a rear portion comprising a shoulder extending rearwardly and upwardly in relation to said central web portion, and shaped and positioned to rest on said mounting shoulders of said gutter hangers; and a leg extending downwardly from said central web portion, said leg adapted to rest on said arms of said gutter hangers, at a location displaced from said mounting shoulders of said gutter hangers, when said gutter guard is urged downward within said gutter.
