Abstract:
A gutter debris barrier system is provided that includes a frame that is configured for direct attachment to a building and a filter screen for preventing debris from entering a gutter while allowing water to flow therethrough. The frame may include a floor with slots punched therein, with ribs on either side of the slots that form channels. The channels may be tapered to improve the speed and efficiency of heat transfer, and also to funnel water down into the gutter. The frame is made of a durable material, such as extruded aluminum. The frame has a first mounting flange that can bend and flex relative to the remaining portions of the frame, which allows for enough flexibility to enable the frame to be mounted directly to the building.

Claim (Index 20):
The method of  claim 18 , further comprising the step of bending the frame at least 15 degrees until the second mounting flange abuts the second wall of the gutter.
