A gutter shield device comprising a first body portion and a second body portion laterally bordering an intermediate body portion that includes a perforated plane out of which arises upward protruding elements that contact the undersurface of a micro-mesh or screen filter comprised of eighty or more threads per inch. The gutter shield includes on the bottom of it's perforated plane at least one downwardly extending element to interdict and redirect downward any forward flowing water present on the underside of the perforated plane.

Abstract:
A filter assembly that has a filtering method overlying an expanded metal skeletal structure, said expanded metal employing sidewalls that are Long Way of the Diamond having their greatest length parallel to a roofs edge and whose sidewall members are angled toward oncoming water flow, the skeletal structure being attached to a filtering member. The filtering assembly able to be secured to a building by means of a hanging assembly. The hanging assembly comprising a gutter hanger with a rear double hooped element; the rear most hoop engaging an upward raised element of a receiving channel pre-fastened to a fascia board.
The system includes a substantially corrugated rigid screen body providing underlying support for a heating element. The body includes a heating wire or other heat source coupled with the body formed of heat conducting material. The body is configured with downward extending protrusions, that may be L-shaped or otherwise shaped, forming flexible heat element receiving channels that are open faced toward the front end of a rain gutter for easy insertion of the heating element during installation of the corrugated rigid body. The gutter guard also employs an ultra-slick coating, tape, or intrinsic material on portions of the gutter guard to prevent or limit ice or ice cycle formation.
A filter assembly that has a filtering method overlying an expanded metal skeletal structure, said expanded metal employing sidewalls that are Long Way of the Diamond having their greatest length parallel to a roofs edge and whose sidewall members have a top edge facing oncoming water flow that is narrow than a corresponding bottom edge.
