Abstract: A gutter cover assembly includes a plurality of support brackets that can be installed in spaced fashion within a gutter and a plurality of elongated deflector panels which can be detachably connected to the support brackets to extend in overlapping side-by-side fashion over the gutter, the deflector panels leaving a space between them and a front wall of the gutter so as to enable water flowing thereover to drain into the interior of the gutter while deflecting most solid debris over the front wall of the gutter. Each support bracket includes a lower member which extends between the rear wall and the front wall of the gutter, a hanger bracket at a rear end of the lower member for attachment to the rear wall of the gutter, a flange at a front end thereof and a top member supported over the lower member. The elongated deflector panels are detachably connected to the top members of the support brackets.

Abstract: A size-adjustable gutter reinforcement device includes a face bar, spikes and sleeves, the face bar being hollow and generally rectangular in cross section and including a first wall with holes through which the spikes can extend, a second wall generally perpendicular to the first wall and including holes in register with the holes in the first wall and having a diameters that allow the sleeves to pass therethrough, a third wall which is generally parallel to the first wall and which includes holes through which the spikes can extend, and a fourth wall which is generally parallel to the second wall and which includes holes through which the spikes can extend, the holes in the first, second, third and fourth walls being equally spaced along a length of the face bar and register with one another.

Abstract: A brace for a gutter including a support which is sized and shaped to fit within a gutter, at least two ferrules and at least one fastener for each ferrule. The at least two ferrules being of a larger inner diameter than an outer diameter of said at least one fastener. The support contains at least two sets of holes, each set of holes being defined in said support. One hole is of a first size such that a fastener can pass through it but a ferrule cannot and the other hole is of a second size that both a fastener and a ferrule can pass through. The holes are parallel to each other and the centers of the holes are opposite each other. The ferrule is inserted into said hole of first size allowing the ferrule to pass through it. The fastener is inserted into the hole of second size and passes through the support into the hole of first size and through the ferrule.
