Abstract

A gutter protection system provides a channel that serves multiple purposes. It encloses a water tube and sprayer device that cleans out the channel and the top of the gutter while flushing the gutter at the same time by moving a water tube that has a sprayer located along or at least one point of the water tube that when moved back and forth will clear the channel of debris and sediment or mud that typically forms inside a gutter.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A gutter guard system that has a water channel such that the water coming off the roof will collide into the channel causing a dam like effect and forcing the water through the channel. This will help flush out any debris that may get caught up in the channel, thus reducing the amount of maintenance required. 
     
     
         2 . A gutter cover system as claimed in  claim 1 , which has various types of snap in channels that insert into at least one hem on the said gutter cover system. This channel can further enhance the ability to keep even the smallest debris and roof grit from entering the below gutter system. This insert channel can insert over the entire gutter cover system or only on a portion of the gutter cover system where the water channel is placed. 
     
     
         3 . A gutter cover system as claimed in  claim 1 , which has an insert channel that can be made of micro mesh stainless steel to filter the water coming off the roof. 
     
     
         4 . A gutter cover system as claimed in  claim 1 , which has an insert channel that can be made of foam and perforated vinyl, steel, aluminum, copper, stainless steel or composite materials to filter the water coming off the roof. 
     
     
         5 . A gutter cover system that has an insert channel to accept a front channel that snaps over the front lip of any type of gutter including but not limited to K-style, Fascia, half round gutters that has two functions, number one function being that any rain that lands on the top of the gutter will drip off this channel to prevent tiger stripping and staining down the front of the gutter. The number two function is that can be made of foam and perforated vinyl, steel, aluminum, copper, stainless steel or composite materials to filter the water coming off the roof. 
     
     
         6 . A gutter cover system as claimed in  claim 5 , which has an insert channel at the back of the profile that snaps into the gutter guard for a flashing/water channel with perforations and or slots to drain the water coming off the roof. This channel accessory adjusts to the pitch of the roof and gutter automatically. 
     
     
         7 . A gutter cover system as claimed in  claim 1 , which adjusts for all sizes of gutters such as 4 inch, 5 inch, 6 inch and 7 inch gutters. This gutter guard has channels that slide in and out to adjust to the different types and sizes of gutters. There are also scoring marks on these channels that allow the gutter guard to adjust to different sizes by simply scoring along the pre-scored lines and removing the excess material. 
     
     
         8 . A gutter guard system as claimed in  claim 1 , which has a deicing means for melting the ice and snow from the gutters via heat guns that are either attached into the enclosed gutters themselves or in the alternative can be inserted into the downspouts. 
     
     
         9 . A gutter cover system as claimed in  claim 1 , which has a high pressure spray hose attached to the front edge of the gutter and gutter guard where a hose can be attached to this mounted pressure nozzle for fast and easy maintenance cleaning of the top surface and inside the gutter itself to flush any small roof grit that may enter the gutter system. Interior spray design as well with a pulley and rope on a wheel that is attached to a hose that when the hand wheel is turned or by a motor will spray the inside of the gutter and the gutter cover all at one time while cleaning the entire gutter via the rope and pulley invention where this rope and pull drag the sprayer down the gutter to clean it and flush it out.
