ABSTRACT:
A gutter screen for covering a gutter and preventing debris from falling into the gutter. The gutter screen has an elongate sheet metal member sized and shaped to engage a portion of the gutter and to cover the gutter. The sheet metal member has a generally smooth top surface and a plurality of channels and slots. The channels extend transverse to an axis of the member and the slots extend parallel to the axis. Each channel extends downward and away from the top surface and has a lower end that defines a lower portion of the periphery of one of the slots. The channels are aligned in rows extending parallel to the axis. An unbroken portion of the smooth top surface extends between upper ends of the channels of one row and the slots in an adjacent row. The channels are formed from the material of the sheet metal member. Each channel and slot is sized so that water is directed into the channel, through the slot and into the gutter and so that debris is not trapped in the channel and the slot.
