ABSTRACT:
A covering and protector for a rain gutter prevents the gutter from becoming clogged with leaves or other debris. The covering protector is designed so that leaves (for example) and other debris which may clog the gutter can neither enter the gutter nor clog the protector, the openings in the protector which permit rain to pass into the gutter being vertically disposed. A unitary sheet includes an extended flat portion which does not contain any apertures therein which functions as a closed top portion for covering the open top of the existing gutter and which also serves to interfit under and between existing roofing materials (such as roof shingles) to provide for secure fastening to the roof as well as to provide an uninterrupted smooth path for rainwater to travel off the roof. The top portion is connected to an apertured portion containing a number of apertures each with a flap for directing rain into the surface of the gutter. A lip portion, extending from the edge of the apertured portion interfits beneath the upper lip of the front wall of the existing gutter and serves both to close the gutter at its front wall and to provide a surface for fastening the cover invention to the existing rain gutter.
