ABSTRACT:
An elongate gutter cover adapted to be positioned over the open trough of a conventional rain gutter. The gutter cover is configured to deflect leaves and other debris away from the gutter. The rain water, however, follows the contour of the gutter cover into the gutter itself. The gutter cover is made from materials that are substantially entirely deformation reversible between two extreme configurations. Starting with the configuration desired in service, the gutter cover is flattened to permit coiling in a longitudinal dimension. Upon being uncoiled, the gutter cover resumes the operative configuration in which it is used. In some embodiments, the gutter cover may comprise several plastic materials that have been coformed to provide the desired characteristics. The invention provides a novel method of installing a gutter cover system with less labor and skill than has typically been required in the prior art.
