Douglas R. Reese - Woodstock GA, US

International Classification:

E04D 13/076
E04D 13/064

US Classification:

52 12

Abstract:

A gutter protector is provided. The gutter protector includes: an upper fastener configured to secure the gutter protector above a gutter rear wall; a lower fastener configured to secure the gutter protector to a top front edge; a non-rigid permeable member extended tautly and smoothly, once installed, between the upper fastener and the lower fastener, the gutter protector provided with openings to permit passage of water while substantially shedding debris; and a riser integrally formed with the upper fastener and configured to provide a rear rise to create a downward slope across the permeable member from the upper fastener to the lower fastener, having a float, to shed debris from the gutter yet allow water to pass through the permeable member. The gutter protector operates without an underlying support. The gutter protector has no raised edge on the gutter protector, thereby having no impediment to the flow of debris and water.
