A debris shield system for use with gutters and other water runoff collection systems is disclosed. The debris shield system provides universal fit to various gutter systems and enables easier assembly on-site and simplifies manufacturing. The debris shield system includes various water adhesion and water capture features, which function to slow the flow of water, break surface tension of the water, and encourage the water flow into a gutter or other water runoff system.

An eaves gutter includes an eaves body formed by bottom, front walls and rear walls, the eaves body being formed as a recessed groove with an upper part thereof longitudinally opening along an eaves edge; and a rising part above the eaves body along the longitudinal direction of the eaves body, wherein the outer surface of the front wall disposed on the outdoor side is an inclined surface inclined obliquely downward from the outdoor side toward the indoor side; and the rising part includes: a rising wall with an outer surface formed as an inclined surface inclined obliquely upward toward the indoor side from a position withdrawn on the indoor side in the horizontal direction relative to the outdoor-side end of the front wall; and a projecting part projecting toward the outdoor side from the upper end of the rising wall along the longitudinal direction of the rising wall.

A gutter debris preclusion device for use with a gutter attached to a building, comprising a support structure being substantially rigid and having a recess with a plurality of apertures and a plurality of ribs; a screen having a plurality of apertures and being at least partially disposed on the ribs of the support structure; and, wherein a cross-sectional profile of the screen has an arc shape.

A mounting bracket for supporting a covered rain gutter includes a left side panel and a right side panel connected to each other via a rear panel. The left and right side panels include a top portion configured to contact and support an interior side of a cover portion of the covered rain gutter, a bottom portion, and a central portion connecting the top and bottom portions. The left side panel and the right side panel can be engaged with each other via their bottom portions with a bottom portion front part configured to contact and support an interior side of a trough portion of the covered rain gutter. The mounting bracket can maintain separation between the cover portion and the trough portion and can be made from a single, stamped sheet of metal.

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.

A rotatable roof gutter system comprises an elongate trough that has a longitudinal axis and an open top end for receiving rainwater therein. A bracket assembly rotatably attaches the trough to a building relative to an eave of a roof of the building. The bracket assembly is configured such that the trough is rotatable about the longitudinal axis between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the open top end faces away from an edge of the eave. In the second position, the open top end is positioned to catch rainwater flowing off the edge of the eave. The system also comprises a moisture detector for detecting rainwater falling onto the roof and a drive assembly operatively connected to the moisture detector. The drive assembly rotates the trough from the first position to the second position in response to rainwater being detected by the moisture detector.

A modular platform for configuring gutter guard systems is disclosed and claimed herein. Such gutter guard systems are designed and arranged to be positioned across the opening of a rain gutter to prevent debris from entering the rain gutter. The modular platform includes a number of interchangeable components. Select interchangeable components can be assembled to form a gutter guard system for use with a specific rain gutter based on the rain gutter's style, size, color, and the mechanism used to secure the rain gutter to a structure and/or roofline. In one embodiment, the components of a modular platform for configuring gutter guard systems include a number of main bodies, a number of front receivers, a number of rear receivers, a number of screens, a number of clips, and a number of brackets.

A gutter debris preclusion device for use with a gutter attached to a building, comprising a support structure being substantially rigid and having a recess with a plurality of apertures and a plurality of ribs; a screen having a plurality of apertures and being at least partially disposed on the ribs of the support structure; and, wherein a cross-sectional profile of the screen has an arc shape.

A gutter cover for a rain gutter includes a U-shaped rear portion, a forward edge portion, and a perforated horizontal central portion spanning between the rear and forward edge portions. The forward edge portion includes a web extending upwardly from the central portion, and a covering flange and downward hooked edge portion extending forwardly from the web. The hooked edge portion having an end positioned for engagement with the underside of a front lip of the gutter.
