Gutter, gutter assemblies and components therefor
A covered gutter system comprising a covered gutter, mounting bracket and fittings a providing an elongate channel in which to receive water from an overhead water feed (such as a roof), wherein the water may from time to time be carrying solid content, said covered gutter comprising: a) a channel formation comprising front and rear walls upstanding from a base region to define a channel, and b) a cover formation extending from the rear wall of the channel formation and over the channel, there being an undercut portion of the cover which, together with an upper edge of the front wall of the channel, defines an elongate mouth opening along the gutter, and wherein said cover formation is adapted to guide water from the water feed through the mouth opening and into the channel, while assisting to deflect solid content away from the mouth opening. A bracket where the inside profile of the bracket corresponds with the outside profile of the covered gutter.
Components for use in installing and repairing gutter guard systems
Disclosed herein are novel components arranged for attachment to a rain gutter and useful for the installation or repair of gutter guard systems. One example is a clip that includes a back section and a front section extending from the bottom of the back section. The back section and the front section are generally perpendicular to each other. The back section includes a slot arranged to accommodate the rear edge of a rain gutter so that the clip can be attached to a rain gutter. The clip further includes two side members extending upward on either side of the front section. The side members each include an arm section that defines an opening in each side member. The openings are arranged to accommodate and secure features of gutter guard systems. In one example, the openings are arranged to accommodate legs extending rearward from a lower portion of gutter guard systems.

DRIP EDGE WITH GUTTER GUARD SUPPORT
A drip edge with gutter guard support device is formed from a longitudinal sheet of waterproof material. An angled upper first member integrally joined to a vertical lower second member form an angled structure. The first member is configured for placement on a roof edge and under a roof shingle and the second member is a configured for placement to a fascia, the lower portion of the second member being configured for placement over a gutter's back end. Vertically stacked ledges extend outwardly from the second member into an opening of the gutter. Separations between adjacent ledges form varying height receiving channels for placement of a roof-side end of a gutter guard. The device is a single piece drip edge and gutter guard fascia-side attachment device.
GUTTER SYSTEM HAVING A GUTTER, BRACKET, AND COVER, AND METHOD OF INSTALLING THE GUTTER SYSTEM
A gutter system having a gutter, a plurality of brackets, and a cover. The plurality of brackets comprise a support portion and a connector portion for operatively coupling the bracket to the gutter and the cover. The support portion comprises a cover support portion that is operatively coupled to a contoured nose of the cover and a gutter support portion that is operatively coupled to a lip of the gutter. The connector portion comprises a gutter hanger portion that is configured to receive a portion of a rear wall of the gutter and a cover engaging portion that is configured to receive a portion of the cover. The cover comprises a plurality of louvers having one or more louver arms that extend towards an interior of the gutter when the cover is operatively coupled to the gutter.
Gutter cover system
A gutter cover system has a reverse-curve cover and clips, fastened to fascia, that secure the back edge of the cover. The front of the cover has an S shape with a convex upper part and a concave lower part. The lower part clips inside the upper front edge of the gutter. The cover is corrugated with fore-aft extending ridges and grooves. The corrugations create small triangular openings for water to enter the gutter while preventing small leaves and evergreen needles from entering the gutter.
