ABSTRACT:
An elongated strip of extruded plastics material includes a generally flat longitudinally extending inner portion adapted to project under the shingles of a roof and a longitudinally extending outer portion adapted to seat on the outer edge portion of a rain gutter and project outwardly from the gutter to form a drip lip spaced from the gutter. A longitudinally extending intermediate portion of the strip integrally connects the inner portion to the outer portion and has a rounded nose surface above a U-shaped channel portion having longitudinally spaced slots for directing water from the inner portion into the gutter and for deflecting leaves and other debris onto the outer portion of the strip for dropping from the drip lip. A tab or flange projects outwardly from the U-shaped portion and cooperates with the outer portion to define a channel for receiving the outer edge portion of the gutter and to provide for retaining the strip on the gutter and for pivoting the strip relative to the gutter. In one embodiment, the flange has a double wall thickness, and in another modification, retaining tabs are formed by separate clips which overlap the outer portions of adjacent cover sections and project through the slots.
