ABSTRACT:
A leaf guard and strainer assembly for use in the downspout of a roof gutter is disclosed which tends to prevent the downspout from being clogged with leaves and debris while permitting water in the gutter to flow around the sides of the assembly and around the sides of a barrier of leaves and debris piled against the assembly so as to enter the downspout from the sides of the assembly which face the opposing gutter sidewalls. The assembly includes a base plate containing an opening adapted to fit upon the gutter floor over an entrance to the downspout so that the opening and entrance communicate. Also included is a plurality of U-shaped ribs, the legs of which are inserted downwardly through the plate on opposite sides of the opening, lower free end portions of which project below the plate into the downspout. An elongated rigid beam member is connected to the upper ends of the ribs to maintain the desired spacing between them. The ribs extend across the gutter between opposing sidewalls thereof to form a barrier to the movement of leaves and other debris longitudinally through the gutter and into the downspout to prevent clogging of the downspout.
