Abstract
A gutter guard for preventing the clogging of a gutter includes a spiral member with first and second ends. The spiral member includes a plurality of turns each of which is substantially equal in size and aligned with one another. The spiral member can be moved from a contracted condition to a significantly longer expanded condition. Attached to the top of the spiral member along the length thereof is a mesh screen. The screen has a generally flat appearance when the spiral member is in its expanded condition. A clip secures each of the ends of the spiral member to a corresponding end wall of the gutter.
