Abstract
Spaced elongated ribs each having a tapered end and a concave end are assembled together by means of elongated, spaced members inserted through respective spaced openings in each rib. The tapered ends of the ribs are attached to a common sheet of material which may be inserted underneath roofing shingles to position the entire assembly over a gutter to provide assistance to propel leaves, pine straw and other debris to the edge of the gutter but at the same time preventing the debris from entering the gutter while allowing the water to drain into the gutter. A continuous front member may be provided with clips for attachment to the edge of the gutter or may be omitted.
