ABSTRACT:
A cover for a hollow rain gutter, according to the invention, is described as having an upwardly pitched top surface arranged to seat beneath the shingles of a roof at which the gutter has previously been secured, a downwardly pitched front surface extending towards the trough of the gutter, and a single row of interrupted slots running horizontally along the front surface of the cover, with the lower edges of the slots extending below the front lip of the gutter, and with the top-edges of the slots aiding in defining a plurality of rearwardly and downwardly extending flaps for diverting rain received across the top surface into the trough of the gutter. The cover of the invention may be obtained in any length desired, and can be connected to the gutter by readily available "clips", thereby making its installation easy for even the average handyman or homeowner.
