Abstract:

This device serves to prevent ice from building up in the gutters of houses and pulling the gutters away, and it also prevents water from entering the structure when the ice building up in the gutter starts to force its way under shingles and roofing boards. Primarily, it consists of a plastic main body, having a tongue portion for insertion underneath the lowest shingles, and the main body covers the gutter. It further includes a stabilizing tab for support within the gutter, and an overhang portion of the main body lets the snow and water run off, away from the gutter.
