ABSTRACT:
An improvement in the combination of a sloped shingle or other roof and a gutter disposed adjacent to and below the lower edge of the roof, the improvement comprising generally a method and means of preventing the destructive effects of wintertime gutter icing and the resulting retention of water on the roof, and comprising more specifically, and in a preferred embodiment, a sheet metal or other thin strip gutter cover means adapted for insertion of one edge thereof under the roof shingles, with the remainder of the cover extending the sloped roof to the outer edge of the gutter, thus effectively eliminating the gutter and gutter function so that water and snow cannot enter the gutter, the gutter cover having means for connecting adjacent gutter cover sections and removably securing the cover to the gutter.
