Rain Gutter Debris Preclusion Device

US Patent:
7310912, Dec 25, 2007
Filed:
Sep 16, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/944167
Inventors:
Robert C. Lenney - Newcastle CA, US
John Lewis - Modesto CA, US
International Classification:
E04D 13/00, B01D 33/00, B01D 24/00
US Classification:
52 12, 210162, 210474
Abstract:
A barrier is provided to preclude debris from passing into a rain gutter. The barrier includes a screen supported upon a channel. The channel includes a tab positionable between a roof and shingles upon the roof, and with a lip opposite the tab resting upon a portion of a gutter opposite the roof. The channel includes a recess between the tab and the lip. The recess includes a floor defining a lower plane of the channel. Ribs extend from the floor up to an upper plane of the channel in which the screen is supported. The ribs have sufficient height to remain in contact with the screen. Water is drawn through the screen and along the ribs down to the floor of the recess. Apertures in the floor allow the water to fall down through the channel and into the gutter, while debris is precluded from passing through the screen.

Corrugated Mesh Gutter Leaf Preclusion System

US Patent:
2011005, Mar 10, 2011
Filed:
Sep 3, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/807394
Inventors:
Robert C. Lenney - Newcastle CA, US
John R. Lewis - Modesto CA, US
International Classification:
E04D 13/076, E04B 1/62
US Classification:
52 12, 527413
Abstract:
Corrugated fine mesh material is configured to be located overlying a gutter. The fine mesh material has an upper edge opposite a lower edge with the upper edge configured to fit beneath shingles on a roof adjacent the gutter. The lower edge is configured to be held to a lip at a forward edge of the gutter. The corrugations add strength to the material and collect water at troughs thereof where the collected water more readily forms droplets that fall down into the gutter. A lower strip is preferably provided to hold the lower edge of the mesh to a lip of the gutter. An upper strip is optionally provided which includes a tab which can fit beneath shingles to the roof. A barrier such as a bead of caulk can optionally be coupled to an underside of the corrugated mesh to further encourage water droplets to fall.

De-Iced Gutter Debris Preclusion System

US Patent:
8438787, May 14, 2013
Filed:
Nov 30, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/308481
Inventors:
Robert C. Lenney - Lincoln CA, US
John R Lewis - Modesto CA, US
Assignee:
Gutterglove, Inc. - Rocklin CA
International Classification:
E04D 13/00
US Classification:
52 12, 52 11, 219213
Abstract:
The invention includes a substantially rigid body providing underlying support for a filter screen. The invention further includes at least one heating wire disposed adjacent to the body, which is formed of heat conductive material. The body is configured with multiple ribs extending up from a floor so that heat transfer from the body to the screen can occur in a variety of different locations to keep the screen sufficiently heated. The body also includes a wing for interfacing with roofing and openings to allow water filtering through the screen to migrate down into the gutter. A cover overlies a channel, which contains one or more of the heating wires. The system includes a flange attached to the body and extends into the gutter enhancing the heat transfer from the body to within the gutter to keep the water flowing in gutter.

Supported Mesh Debris Preclusion System For Gutters

US Patent:
8479454, Jul 9, 2013
Filed:
Sep 23, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/924326
Inventors:
Robert C. Lenney - Newcastle CA, US
John R. Lewis - Modesto CA, US
Assignee:
Gutterglove, Inc. - Rocklin CA
International Classification:
E04D 13/04, E04D 13/064
US Classification:
52 12, 52 11, 248 481
Abstract:
Multiple assemblies are provided to overlie a gutter to preclude debris entry. Each assembly includes a mesh positioned upon an underlying substantially rigid support. The support has a tab which can reside beneath shingles and over other portions of the roof. A front edge is provided opposite the tab which rests upon a lip of the gutter when installed. A floor is located between the front edge and tab at a position slightly below a plane in which the tab and front edge are located. The mesh overlies the floor. Holes in the floor allow water which passes down through the mesh to be conducted through the floor and to fall down into the gutter. Ribs extend up from the floor to support the mesh and draw water off of the mesh. The mesh is corrugated into a plurality of crests and troughs which extend perpendicular to the ribs.
