Claims.
The present invention relates to roofing gutters and has for its primary object to provide a screen guard for the gutter adapted to prevent entrance of foreign material into the gutter which might 5 have a tendency to clog the same or the downspout which is usually attached to the gutter.
An important object of the invention is to provide a guard of this character having means at each longitudinal edge thereof adapted to removably support the edges of the guard in position at the front and rear edges of the gutter in a manner to permit the easy removal of the guard whenever it is desired to paint the gutter or for other purposes.
Another important object is to provide transversely extending supporting members for the guard and in which said supporting members are also equipped with means for detachably securing the guard in position to the gutter.
A still further important object of the presga ent invention is to provide a gutter construction designed for conveniently attaching to the eaves of a building and which also embodies means for supporting the rear edge of the gutter guard in position.
@315 Other objects and advantages reside in the details of construction as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts 5 throughout, and in which Figure 1 is a transverse sectional view through a box-type gutter showing the guard in position thereon.
Figure 2 is a top plan view.
Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view illustrating the guard provided with reinforcing.
means at the longitudinal edges thereof.
Figure 4 is a transverse sectional view through the gutter.
10 Figure 5 is a transverse sectional view of a modified form of gutter guard equipped with a snap-on attaching edge for a rolled .edge gutter.
Figure 6 is a similar view of a further modification of the snap-on type guard for attaching to a hanging gutter provided with a single rolled edge.
Figure '7 is a similar view showing the snap-on feature at both edges of the guard for attaching to a hanging gutter with double rolled edge.
Figure 8 is a similar view of the guard provided with a transverse reinforcing rod adapted for attaching to the box-type gutter.
Figure 9 is a similar view showing the guard provided with a transverse reinforcing strap for the hanging type gutter provided with a. single rolled edge.
Figure 10 is a sectional view taken substantially on a line Ill-Ill of Figure 8, and
Figure 11 is a similar view taken substantially 5 on the line il--li of Figure 9.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, and with particular reference to the form of the invention disclosed in Figures 1 to 4 inclusive, the numeral 5 designates a box-type gutter having 10 a perpendicular rear wall 6 adapted to lie flatly against the cave or cornice l and with its upper edge .bent inwardly to overlie the top of he cornice for securing in position under the shingles 9. A nail Ill extends through the front wall trans- 15 'versely of the gutter and through the rear wall for anchoring in the eave, a sleeve ll being mounted on the nail within the gutter to brace the front and rear walls to prevent crushing of the front wall during the driving of the nail. so
The rear wall, at a point above the nail, is formed with a horizontal longitudinally extending rib I2 upon which the rear edge l3 of a screen gutter guard IA is adapted to rest, the guard being preferably formed of hardware cloth. The 25 surface of the guard M is inclined upwardly from its front edge, substantially in the plane of the slope of the roof, the rear portion of the guard being provided with a vertical wall l6 which is preferably formed with an irregular vertical contour to strengthen the material forming the wall. 30
The longitudinal front edge of the guard is bent inwardly upon itself to provide a channel I! within which is fitted the inturned upper edge ill of the front wall 5 of the gutter.
In the form of the invention illustrated in Figure 3 of the drawings, the rear longitudinal edge I3 of the guard is provided with a channeled reinforcing strip i 4 adapted to rest on the rib I2 of the gutter, while the front edge of the guard is provided with a reinforcing strip 20 bent into 60 an inverted S-form in cross section to provide a pair of channels 2| and 22 opening in opposite directions, the channel 2| being adapted to receive the edge portion of the guard while the channel 22 is adapted to receive the edge portion 18 of the gutter.
'In the form of the inVEL. illustrated in Figure 5 the wire guard 23 provided its front edge with a gutter clamping formation adapted for detachably clamping on the front edge of a 50 rolled type gutter, the edge of the guard being rolled downwardly into substantially hook form and rolled inwardly upon itself and with the inner edge of the roller portion extending downwardly as shown at 25 to provide an inverted channel-shaped edge of rounded construction in cross section.
In Figure 6 of the drawings the guard 26 is provided with the snap-on feature 21 identical to that illustrated in Figure 5, while the rear edge of the guard is provided with an inverted construction 28 of substantially rectangular formation in cross section for receiving the upper edge of the rear of a hanging type gutter. The gutter guard shown at 29 in Figure '7 of the drawings is constructed with the snap-0n formations 30 and 3| at the front and rear edges thereof for engaging the double rolled edge of a hanging type gutter.
In Figure 8 of the drawings I have illustrated the gutter guard 32 provided with a reinforcing rod 33 conformably fitted to the under side of the guard and extending transversely thereof with the front edge of the rod off-set and spaced from the guard as shown at 36 to provide the channel 35 adapted to receive the inturned edge I8 of the box-type gutter as shown in Figures 1 and 4 of the drawings.
In Figure 9 of the drawings the guard 36 is provided with a transversely extending reinforcing strap 37 which conforms to the cross-sectional contour of the under side of the guard and has its rear edge bent to provide the inverted channel 38 adapted to accommodate the upstanding rear edge of a hanging type gutter while the front edge of the reinforcing rod 3'! is formed with the snap-on construction 39 adapted for engaging the rolled front edge of the gutter.
The reinforcing members 33 and 3'! may be secured to the guard in any suitable manner, as by soldering or the like.
If desired the rear wall 6 of the gutter may also be formed with a groove immediately above the ribs l2, as shown in Figure 4, to accommodate the'rear edge of the guard as an added means of retaining the guard against accidental displacement.
From the foregoing it will be apparent that the guard constructed in accordance with either form of the invention illustrated in the drawings, is capable of being easily and quickly removed from the gutter and placed in position thereon.
It is believed the details of construction and manner of use of the device will be readily understood from the foregoing.
Having thus described the invention, what we claim is- 1. A gutter guard comprising a cover of foraminous material and a channel construction at one edge of the cover formed of the said foraminous material and of split tubular form adapted for clamping over the edge of the gutter, a portion of said channel bearing against the underside of the cover to provide a double thickness in the material at its clamped edge.
2. A gutter guard comprising a foraminous cover overlying the gutter and a channel construction at the front edge of the gutter and formed of the cover material, said channel having one wall folded flatwise against the underside of the cover and its other wall extending in an outward direction to provide an opening for the channel along the front edge of the cover and within which to receive the outer edge of the gutter.
3. A gutter guard comprising a foraminous cover overlying the gutter and a channel construction at the front edge of the cover and formed of the cover material, said channel having one wall folded against the underside of the cover to provide a double thickness of material along the upper edge of the channel for reinforcing the other edge of the cover, said channel having a longitudinal opening adapted to receive the outer edge of a gutter for attaching thereto.
4. A gutter guard comprising a foraminous cover overlying the gutter and a channel construction at each edge of the cover having one wall folded against the underside of the cover to provide a double thickness of material along the upper edge of the channel for reinforcing the inner and outer edges of the cover, said chan nels having a longitudinal opening adapted for receiving the edges of a gutter for attaching thereto.
5. A gutter guard comprising a foraminous cover overlying the gutter, a channel construction at the front edge of the cover embodying multiple layers of material reinforcing the cover and a channel opening for receiving the front edge of the gutter for attaching thereto and an upstanding rear wall for the cover for supporting the same in a forwardly and downwardly inclined position, said rear wall having a rearwardly extending lower edge for supporting the rear edge of the cover on a rear gutter.
