Abstract

A properly formed long strip of aluminum or composite, the gutter attachment mounted longitudinally extending on the top front horizontal surface of gutter comprising of inward lip ( 30 A) or extended inward lip leading into gutter, is contiguous to horizontal attached wall or top triple horizontal wall serving to incorporate a debris filtering screen or debris filtering cap and fastened or rest on the top front horizontal surface of gutter, the horizontal attached wall or top triple horizontal wall, is contiguous to elevated and forward oriented wall serving to stop the excess water from going over to the top front vertical surface of gutter. The elevated and forward oriented wall is contiguous to a front downward panel which does not touch the front visible wall of gutter. The front downward panel also serve to add piercings a hides gutter mounting nail head and rope light lighting.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A rain gutter for attachment to an edge of an associated roof of an associated building which includes:
 an elongated trough that is substantially imperforate and has opposed inboard and outboard sides, the inboard side being dimensioned and configured for mounting proximate to the edge of the associated roof of the associated building, the outboard side being dimensioned and configured for mounting in spaced relation to the edge of the associated roof of the associated building; said inboard side having an edge that in normal installations on a building that is horizontal and at the uppermost part of said inboard wall;   a fascia extending vertically over substantially the entire vertical and axial extent of the outboard side of said gutter and extending vertically to an elevation that is higher than the edge of said inboard side in normal installations on a building.   
     
     
         2 . A rain gutter as described in  claim 1  wherein said fascia has a substantially planar surface that during normal installation is uppermost and disposed in oblique relation to a vertical plane, said substantially planar surface having during normal installation an upper edge that is further outboard than the lower extent thereof. 
     
     
         3 . A rain gutter as described in  claim 1  further including a perforate screen extending over said rain gutter intermediate said inboard wall and said outboard wall and said fascia is coupled to said perforate screen. 
     
     
         4 . A rain gutter as described in  claim 1  wherein said fascia covers mounting hardware such as the heads of nails or screws used normally to mount rain gutters to the associated roof of an associated building. 
     
     
         5 . A rain gutter as described in  claim 1  wherein said fascia includes support members for engaging an associated rope light. 
     
     
         6 . A rain gutter as described in  claim 1  wherein said fascia has a lower extremity that bends in an inboard direction. 
     
     
         7 . A rain gutter as described in  claim 1  wherein said fascia includes decorative piercings. 
     
     
         8 . An attachment for an associated rain gutter for attachment to an edge of an associated roof of an associated building, the gutter being elongated, substantially imperforate and having opposed inboard and outboard sides, the inboard side being dimensioned and configured for mounting proximate to the edge of the associated roof of the associated building, the outboard side being dimensioned and configured for mounting in spaced relation to the edge of the associated roof of the associated building; the inboard side having an edge that in normal installations on a building that is horizontal and at the uppermost part of said inboard wall, wherein the attachment comprises:
 a fascia extending vertically over substantially the entire vertical and axial extent of the outboard side of said gutter and extending vertically to an elevation that is higher than the edge of said inboard side in normal installations on a building.   
     
     
         9 . An attachment for a rain gutter as described in  claim 8  wherein said fascia has a substantially planar surface that during normal installation is uppermost and disposed in oblique relation to a vertical plane, said substantially planar surface having during normal installation an upper edge that is further outboard than the lower extent thereof. 
     
     
         10 . An attachment for a rain gutter as described in  claim 8  further including a perforate screen extending over the rain gutter intermediate said inboard wall and said outboard wall and said fascia is coupled to said perforate screen. 
     
     
         11 . An attachment for a rain gutter as described in  claim 8  wherein said fascia covers mounting hardware such as the heads of nails or screws used normally to mount rain gutters to the associated roof of an associated building. 
     
     
         12 . An attachment for a rain gutter as described in  claim 8  wherein said fascia includes support members for engaging an associated rope light. 
     
     
         13 . An attachment for a rain gutter as described in  claim 8  wherein said fascia has a lower extremity that bends in an inboard direction. 
     
     
         14 . A rain gutter as described in  claim 8  wherein said fascia includes decorative piercings.
