Abstract: A gutter debris preclusion device for use with a gutter attached to a building, comprising a support structure being substantially rigid and having a recess with a plurality of apertures and a plurality of ribs; a screen having a plurality of apertures and being at least partially disposed on the ribs of the support structure; and, wherein a cross-sectional profile of the screen has an arc shape.

Abstract: Corrugated fine mesh material is configured to be located overlying a gutter. The fine mesh material has an upper edge opposite a lower edge with the upper edge configured to fit beneath shingles on a roof adjacent the gutter. The lower edge is configured to be held to a lip at a forward edge of the gutter. The corrugations add strength to the material and collect water at troughs thereof where the collected water more readily forms droplets that fall down into the gutter. A lower strip is preferably provided to hold the lower edge of the mesh to a lip of the gutter. An upper strip is optionally provided which includes a tab, which can fit beneath shingles to the roof. A barrier such as a bead of caulk can optionally be coupled to an underside of the corrugated mesh to further encourage water droplets to fall.

Abstract: A self-supporting gutter guard device is described having a bridge member composed of a decking material having a plurality of orifices, and having a roof side and an opposing gutter lip side, at least one groove disposed in the decking material altering a profile of the deck material to outline a 3-dimensional geometry that spans the bridge member from a proximal end of the bridge member's roof side to a proximal end of the bridge member's gutter lip side, a roof attachment member configured to attach to the roof side of the bridge member, and a gutter attachment member configured to attach to the gutter lip side of the bridge member, wherein the 3-dimensional geometry of the at least one groove enables the device to be self-supporting.

Abstract: A drip edge with gutter guard support device is formed from a longitudinal sheet of waterproof material. An angled upper first member integrally joined to a vertical lower second member form an angled structure. The first member is configured for placement on a roof edge and under a roof shingle and the second member is configured for placement to a fascia, the lower portion of the second member being configured for placement over a a gutter's back end. Vertically stacked ledges extend outwardly from the second member into an opening of the gutter. Separations between adjacent ledges form varying height receiving channels for placement of a roof-side end of a gutter guard. The device is a single piece drip edge and gutter guard fascia-side attachment device.

Abstract: A self-supporting gutter guard having a roof attachment, step, trough and gutter lip attachment sections. The step section is composed of a plurality of steps with orifices disposed in one or more treads of the steps, and in the trough. The trough floor is at a lower elevation and wider than a tread of the last step section and below a top of the gutter lip attachment section. The trough and the gutter lip attachment sections share a common wall. The device provides an uneven surface for easier debris drying and removal and is oriented at a downward angle from the roof attachment portion to the trough section.

Abstract: A self-supporting gutter guard having a roof attachment, step, trough and gutter lip attachment portion. The step portion is composed of a plurality of connected steps having treads and risers with at least one row of step orifices disposed in one or more treads, and has at least one row of trough orifices. The trough floor is at a lower elevation than a tread of the step portion's last step and below a top of the gutter lip attachment portion. The trough and the gutter lip attachment portion share a common wall. The device provides an uneven surface for easier debris drying and removal, and is oriented at a downward angle from the roof attachment portion to the trough portion.

Abstract: A gutter guard device is described comprising a bridge member composed of a decking material having a plurality of orifices, and having a roof side and an opposing gutter lip side, at least one girder spanning a bottom surface of the bridge member from a proximal end of the bridge member's roof side to a proximal end of the bridge member's gutter lip side, a roof attachment member configured to attach to the roof side of the bridge member, and a gutter attachment member configured to attach to the gutter lip side of the bridge member, wherein the roof attachment member, the bridge member and the gutter attachment member are a single piece of material and the device is self-supporting.

Abstract: The present invention includes a cover for use with a heat element and gutter debris preclusion devices. The cover includes a body, a front member, and a middle portion disposed between the body and the front member. The body includes a lip being operably configured to extend beyond an outer edge of the gutter when the cover is in use. The cover also includes a channel defined by the middle portion and at least the front member, wherein the channel is operably configured to receive the heat element. The cover is operably configured to hold the heat element to the gutter debris preclusion device. When the heat element is energized it will generate heat. The cover will enable the generated heat to transfer to the gutter debris preclusion device and to a gutter to which it is attached.

Abstract: A brush with bristles attached to multiple sides is designed to clean any gutter guard type that is manufactured today, including reverse curve type gutter guards. The brush has a main body of reverse-oriented bristles and accommodates an extension pole on the “reverse” side. When placed on top of the gutter guard, the brush can be pushed/pulled back and forth using the pole to dislodge any unwanted debris attached to the gutter guard's working surface. The use of the pole removes the need for a person to be on the roof when attempting to clean the gutter and/or gutter guard. With multiple bristle orientations, the brush can be used for other outdoor cleaning uses, such as house fixtures, structures, windows and so forth.
