Gutter debris cover
DCFirst Claim
1. A gutter debris cover, comprisinga. an elongated screening element shaped to be installed in a substantially horizontal configuration across a top opening of a gutter, said screening element having openings therein for fluid flow downwardly therethrough, said screening element having first and second side edges,b. an integral first attachment member extending from and along at least a portion of said first side edge, said first attachment member having a first cross-sectional configuration, including a first leg extending downwardly and linearly inwardly beneath said screening element and a second leg extending downwardly and linearly outwardly from said first leg,c. an integral second attachment member extending from and along at least a portion of said second side edge, said second attachment member having a second cross-sectional configuration, including a third leg extending downwardly and linearly inwardly from said second side edge and spaced beneath said screening element a first distance and a fourth leg extending downwardly and linearly outwardly from said third leg, said fourth leg extending a second distance outwardly substantially equal to said first distance, andd. said second cross-sectional configuration being oriented in an opposite spatial orientation said first cross-sectional configuration.

Abstract
A gutter debris cover having an elongated screening element with openings for fluid flow therethrough. Attachment members are provided on either edge of the screening element, with each attachment member having a cross-sectional configuration. In one form, the cross-sectional configurations are mirror images of one another and are generally recurved to connect to gutter elements. In another form of the invention, only the second or rear cross sectional configuration is recurved.

8. A gutter debris cover, comprising
a. an elongated screening element shaped to be installed in a substantially horizontal configuration across a top opening of a gutter, said screening element having openings therein for fluid flow downwardly therethrough, said screening element having first and second side edges, b. an integral first attachment member extending from and along at least a portion of said first side edge, said first attachment member having a first cross-sectional configuration, including a first leg extending downwardly and linearly inwardly beneath said screening element and a second leg extending downwardly and outwardly from said first leg, c. an integral second attachment member extending from and along at least a portion of said second side edge, said second attachment member having a second cross-sectional configuration, including a third leg extending downwardly and linearly inwardly from said second side edge and spaced beneath said screening element a first distance and a fourth leg extending downwardly and linearly outwardly from said third leg, said fourth leg extending a second distance outwardly substantially equal to said first distance and d. said second cross-sectional configuration being recurved.
