  • Patent number: 4936061
    Abstract: A gutter and screen organization is set forth utilizing an elongate gutter defining a channel therewithin provided with a forward wall with an inwardly directed flange and an opposed rear wall with a forwardly directed flange wherein the forward and rearward flanges are directed interiorly of the gutter. A series of forward tabs are formed through the forward and flange hingedly secured to the flange at a rearwardmost end of the tabs with a forward arcuate nose of each tab minimizing harm to a user of the device. A mesh screen of a width substantially equal to that defined between the forward and rear walls overlies the flanges to enable penetration of the forward tabs through openings of the screen. Optionally, tabs are formed on the rear flange to further assist in securement of the screen to the gutter. A modification of the instant invention utilizes a deformable spherical tip formed to a stem to receive the mesh screen thereon.
