Abstract:
A modular platform for configuring gutter guard systems is disclosed and claimed herein. The modular platform includes a number of interchangeable components that can be assembled to form a gutter guard system for use with specific rain gutters based on a rain gutter's style, size, color, and attachment mechanism used to secure the rain gutter to a structure and/or roofline. One such interchangeable component is a main body with securing features. The securing features of the main body can be positioned and arranged such that when two main bodies are appropriately positioned, the securing features engage in a manner that secures the two main bodies together into a continuous main body assembly. The securing features can be, tabs and slots that cooperate to form a friction fit or a series of hooks and aperture edges to capture the hooks to secure the two main bodies together.

Claim (Index 20):
A main body assembly for a gutter guard system, the main body assembly comprising:\n a first main body, comprising:\n a first front edge; \n a first rear edge that is generally parallel to and spaced apart from the first front edge; \n a first end extending between the first front edge and the first rear edge; \n a second end, opposite the first end, extending between the first front edge and the first rear edge; \n a first top surface disposed between the first front edge, the first rear edge, the first end, and the second end; \n a first bottom surface, opposite the first top surface, disposed between the first front edge, the first rear edge, the first end, and the second end; \n a first securing feature positioned proximate to the first end; and \n a first plurality of water management features; \n a second main body, comprising:\n a second front edge; \n a second rear edge that is generally parallel to and spaced apart from the second front edge; \n a third end extending between the second front edge and the second rear edge; \n a fourth end, opposite the third end, extending between the second front edge and the second rear edge; \n a second top surface disposed between the second front edge, the second rear edge, the third end, and the fourth end; \n a second bottom surface, opposite the second top surface, disposed between the second front edge, the second rear edge, the third end, and the fourth end; \n a second securing feature positioned proximate to the third end and corresponding to the first securing feature; and \n a second plurality of water management features.
