Screen corner assembly for a gutter guard system

Gutter guard

Disclosed herein are gutter guard systems arranged to efficiently manage the flow of rainwater across the system and prevent the matting of debris onto the system. In one exemplary embodiment, a gutter guard system includes a main body and a screen covering the main body. The gutter guard assembly further includes a front receiver and a rear receiver that secure the screen to the main body. The screen includes at least one feature arranged to manage the flowrate of rainwater across the gutter guard system. In one example, the feature is a raised rounded area that slows the flowrate of rainwater across the gutter guard system. In another embodiment, the screen includes an upwardly angled section and a transition section. Once assembled and installed, the transition section and optionally the angled section forms hurdles that slows the flowrate of rainwater across the gutter guard system.

Hanger with clip for a gutter guard assembly

Disclosed herein are various components for configuring, assembling, and customizing modular gutter guard systems for trough-style and built-in gutter systems. Such customizable gutter guard systems are designed and arranged to be positioned across the opening of a trough or box gutter and include a water management features to assist in managing the flow of rainwater across the gutter guard system. The modular assembly includes a number of configurable components for use with a specific trough-style or built-in gutter system based on the trough-style or built-in gutter system's design, size, and/or dimensions and the anticipated volume and flowrate of rainwater flowing to the rain gutter system. Such customizable components include a main body, a mesh screen, and front and rear receivers. The main body and mesh screen can be secured together to form a main body subassembly, and a water management feature can be formed in the main body subassembly.

Clip for gutter guard assembly

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.
