GUTTERGLOVE, INC.

A cover for use with a heat element and a gutter guard. The cover has a horizontally oriented main body having a roof side end and a gutter lip side end. A lateral member is integrally coupled to the main body's roof side and has joined first and second portions. The first portion is angled downwardly from the main body and the second portion is terminal to the first portion and angled away from the main body's roof side. The cover includes a lip member that extends from the main body's gutter lip side end, and a lip portion angled downwardly. A channel interior to the lateral member and below the main body is formed, where the channel's bottom is bounded by the gutter guard's top. The main body's gutter lip side end is configured to fit over a gutter lip with the channel proximal to the gutter lip.

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 truss spanning a top 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.

A gutter guard device is described, comprising, a bridge member composed of a sheet or micro-mesh 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 attached to an end section of the roof side of the bridge member and configured to attach to a roof; and a gutter attachment member attached to an end section of the gutter lip side of the bridge member and configured to attach to a gutter lip, wherein the device is self-supporting.

A roof gutter for the purpose of keeping small debris out of the gutter and allowing rainwater to pass into the gutter. The covering is comprised of a water permeable, weather resistant mesh having apertures of a pre-determined size for passing water, the mesh sized to substantially cover a rain gutter; corrugations formed in the mesh; a debris collection first trough disposed along a longitudinal axis of the mesh, formed by making at least two bends in the mesh, the first trough located between a longitudinal midline of the mesh and a front gutter end of the mesh.

A self-supporting gutter guard device is described, comprising: a bridge member composed of a sheet or micro-mesh decking material having a plurality of orifices, and having a roof side and an opposing gutter lip side; at least one truss spanning a top 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 attached to an end section of the roof side of the bridge member and configured to attach to a roof; and a gutter attachment member attached to an end section of the gutter lip side of the bridge member and configured to attach to a gutter lip, wherein the device is self-supporting.

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.

A single piece gutter/gutter-guard screw has a head with a shoulder integrally formed thereto and a threaded screwing body integrally formed to the shoulder. A diameter of the threaded screwing body is smaller than the largest diameter of the shoulder's bottom, and a largest diameter of a top of the shoulder is smaller than a largest diameter of the head's bottom. The screw provides a gap that is a height of the shoulder when the screw is screwed into a substrate. An attached clip (in the gap) provides support for an attached wire or object and composed of a generally L-shaped body with a top member joined to a side member. A front slit in the clip provides entrance to at least an attachment structure within the top member, configured to fit onto the screw. An attachment mechanism is in the side member.

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 truss spanning a top 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.

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.
