ABSTRACT:
A gutter for the roof structure of a building has a plurality of vertically-extending slotted openings interspersed between a respective plurality of comb teeth for diverting the rain water off the roof and into the conduit by a capillary attraction of the water molecules, as the leaves, twigs and other foreign matter washes off the roof. The width of the slotted openings is relatively narrow and the comb teeth are relatively rigid, so that birds, vermin and small animals cannot enter into the conduit for nesting therein. As a result, clogging of the gutter is prevented; cleaning of the gutter is substantially obviated; and the gutter is substantially maintenance free and relatively unaffected by the formation of snow or ice on the roof. Moreover, the gutter is made economically from a single piece which is punched, bent and formed; and the gutter may be easily installed by homeowners, do-it-yourselfers, and semi-skilled craftsmen.
