Abstract: A gutter screen contemplating a first slip joint and a second slip joint located at a second end of the gutter screen and matable to the first slip joint, the first slip joint being a descending step-stair design; and the second slip joint being an extended beveled edge, the beveled edge matable to each step of the first slip joint such that when pressure is applied the extended beveled edge will ascend the step-stair, and when pressure is reduced the extended beveled edge will descend the step-stair.

Abstract: A gutter screen for preventing the accumulation of debris within a gutter is disclosed. The gutter screen has a plurality of ribs positioned to run transversely across the gutter. Each rib has a rounded first top section, the first top section having a top surface emanating circumferentially about the first top section, a V-shaped first bottom section, a first end, and a second end. The gutter screen also has a plurality of bars positioned to ran above and generally parallel to the gutter. The bars have a rounded second top section and a V-shaped second bottom section. The second top section of each bar is attached to and interconnects the first bottom sections of each rib, the ribs and the bars defining a plurality of gutter screen apertures. A roof flange for attaching the gutter screen underneath a roof shingle extends from the first end of each rib. The roof flange has a roof flange surface which is flush with the top surface of the rib.
