Abstract: An interlocking gutter system with perforations in the visor allows for the maximum amount of water drainage while blocking debris from entering the gutter. The gutter trough has an increasing radius as it approaches the downspout, to increase the capacity for carrying water. In the event that debris does enter the gutter, the interlocking mechanism can be disengaged, thereby allowing the gutter trough to drop away from the visor, dumping accumulated debris with minimal effort. The perforations in the visor can be patterned and sized in order to block the most common debris encountered in that installation. The gutter may allow water to enter the trough via a coanda slot in addition to perforations in the visor. The gutter system may have multiple troughs to further assist in draining a maximum amount of water. In the event of a clog, the system is emptied using an endcap.
