Rain gutter cover system

A rain gutter cover system for directing water running off a building's roof into a gutter extending alone the roofline while simultaneously preventing undesired debris from entering the gutter, said system comprising:

• a screen adapted to couple to the gutter and being operable to extend from the roofline over the gutter in a covering relationship when the screen is coupled to the gutter so that substantially all water entering the gutter must pass through the screen,
• said screen including at least one section sloping downhill between the roofline and the gutter, when the screen is coupled to the gutter
• said screen including a plurality of perforations formed therein for siphoning water through the screen and into the gutter,
• said perforations comprising the only means for water to pass through the screen,
• each perforation including a channel formed in the screen adjacent the perforation on the uphill side of the perforation for channeling water into the perforation,
• at least a portion of said plurality of perforations being formed in said at least one section,
• said screen including a first section, a second section and a third section,
• said second section interconnected between said first and third sections and comprising said at least one section,
• said screen including a first bend spaced from the roofline and the gutter when the screen is coupled to the gutter, said sections each being configured to direct water running off the building's roof into the gutter so that water flows along said sections before entering the gutter when the screen is coupled to the gutter,
• said first bend interconnecting said first and second sections and cooperating with said second section to predominately cover said third section,
• said screen including a second bend spaced from the roofline and the gutter when the screen is coupled to the gutter,
• said second bend interconnecting said second and third sections.
