Abstract: System, device and method for providing screened protection to gutters from clogging debris. Protection is provided by using a panel that includes rain siphoning louvered technology covered by a filter or screen. The rows of louvers are offset to direct water into the vertical openings. The louvered portion is dome shaped to permit the louvers to be vertical and to help debris roll off the sides. The filter is molded to the rows of louvers to conduct water to the vertical openings of the louvers. The filter or screen is secured to the panel by being laid in opposing hems on the two sides of the louvered portion of the panel and then by rolling beads or ribs onto the hemmed portions.

Abstract: System, device and method for providing screened protection to gutters from clogging debris. Protection is provided by using a panel that includes rain siphoning louvered technology. The louvers may be covered by a filter or screen. If the openings of the louvers are closed to a certain degree, a screen may be dispensed with. The panel is sloped such that debris rolls off a surface of the panel. Additionally, the louvered portion may be domed. The panel ends on one side in a locking mechanism that locks to an outer lip of the gutter and on the other side in a corrugated edge that fits under the overhang of the roof such that it need not be inserted under the shingles.

Abstract: Stone-coated gutter component and method, device and system for controlling size of color patches and shade of highlights during stone coating of gutter products such as gutter covers. Several sets of grooved rollers are used to guide stone granules from hoppers onto a gutter component that has been sprayed with basecoat. The gutter component is generally metal. Start and stop and speed of rotation of the grooved rollers are controlled by servomotors that are in turn controlled by one or more programmable logic controllers. Size of color patches is controlled by controlling the start and stop of the rollers. Shading and highlight are controlled by controlling the speed of rotation of the rollers. Changing the angle of divider planes that are used on hoppers creates heavier or lighter bands of stone coating. A chip booth applies base or background between color patches. The stone-coated gutter component is glazed and cured in an oven.
