ABSTRACT:
A rain gutter that includes an overlying, leaf- and debris-shedding cover. The gutter is in the form of a channel having an upwardly-facing opening. The cover overlies the channel opening and includes a convex front edge that is spaced from the front edge of the channel to define a gap or opening between the cover and the channel to allow water to flow around the convex front edge and into the channel. A series of support brackets are positioned within the gutter channel and interconnect the gutter and the cover to provide a rigid gutter structure. An end cap is provided at each end of the gutter and overlies both the gutter channel section and the space between the channel section and the cover, to prevent entry of leaves and debris into the channel through the ends of the gutter.
