ABSTRACT:
A cover member for mounting on a conventional rain gutter on a building structure, consisting of a one piece, thin longitudinal shield to be inserted under the shingles of the roof and having a serrated outer edge to rest snugly against and under the inside of the top lip of the gutter, the serrations providing small openings in front of this top lip of the gutter through which water from the roof can run into the gutter and exclude pine straw or leaves from entering the gutter. In one embodiment, the guard has a small upward crease in the longitudinal direction to add rigidity to the guard. In another embodiment, some of the tabs formed by the configuration of the notched edges are bent partially upward so as to sit on top of the gutter lip to support a snugger fit. After the shield is positioned, a block may be placed against the end of the shingle overhang and attached to the shield to block the shield in position.
