US 6,293,054 B1 · Gutter liner apparatus

Abstract

Gutter liner apparatus having a perforated upper platform surface that extends the width of the gutter and is supported by two sidewalls that extend down from the front and back edges of the upper platform so that the platform is situated in the lower half of the gutter upon installation therein. The perforations in the upper platform surface exclude leaf type debris from blocking the drainage flow of the gutter. The sidewalls can vary from being perpendicular to the upper platform to being flared outwardly away from an axis perpendicular to the upper platform to cause them to bias against the inner surfaces of the gutter. Other geometries provide additional advantages under selected circumstances. Perforations can be only on the upper platform surface or also on the sidewalls.
