A rain gutter system comprises a covered rain gutter and a mounting bracket in the interior of the covered rain gutter for mounting the covered rain gutter to a structure. The covered rain gutter includes a trough portion and a cover portion with the trough portion including a lip and the cover portion including a nose configured to direct rainwater to flow toward the interior of the covered rain gutter. The mounting bracket includes a top portion, a bottom portion, and a central portion interconnecting the top and bottom portions. The top portion of the bracket can contact and support the cover portion. The bottom portion of the bracket can contact the lip of the trough portion, support the trough portion, and maintain separation between the nose and the lip of the covered rain gutter.

A gutter guard device is described comprising a bridge member composed of a decking material having a plurality of orifices, and having a roof side and an opposing gutter lip side, at least one girder spanning a bottom surface of the bridge member from a proximal end of the bridge member's roof side to a proximal end of the bridge member's gutter lip side, a roof attachment member configured to attach to the roof side of the bridge member, and a gutter attachment member configured to attach to the gutter lip side of the bridge member, wherein the roof attachment member, the bridge member and the gutter attachment member are a single piece of material and the device is self-supporting.

A gutter guard device is described comprising a bridge member composed of a decking material having a plurality of orifices, and having a roof side and an opposing gutter lip side, at least one girder spanning a bottom surface of the bridge member from a proximal end of the bridge member's roof side to a proximal end of the bridge member's gutter lip side, a roof attachment member configured to attach to the roof side of the bridge member, and a gutter attachment member configured to attach to the gutter lip side of the bridge member, wherein the roof attachment member, the bridge member and the gutter attachment member are a single piece of material and the device is self-supporting.

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.

A self-supporting gutter guard device is described having a bridge member composed of a decking material having a plurality of orifices, and having a roof side and an opposing gutter lip side, at least one groove disposed in the decking material altering a profile of the deck material to outline a 3-dimensional geometry that spans the bridge member from a proximal end of the bridge member's roof side to a proximal end of the bridge member's gutter lip side, a roof attachment member configured to attach to the roof side of the bridge member, and a gutter attachment member configured to attach to the gutter lip side of the bridge member, wherein the 3-dimensional geometry of the at least one groove enables the device to be self-supporting.

A new louver, and a louvered roof assembly having a plurality of these louvers is provided wherein the plurality of louvers, are movable within a frame between an open condition and a closed condition. The louvers, each having first and second ends, are pivotally coupled to the frame for rotation about an axis. A linear drive motor is coupled to a moveable arm bar to which each louver is connected by a pin which pin is attached at the pin's opposite end to a member disposed within the center of each respective louver. Single set and dual sets of louvers may be operated by a single linear drive actuator.
