The present invention provides a gutter screen attachment for minimizing
water film runoff and debris collection adjacent a screened gutter. The
screen attachment comprises a superior breaker edge, an inferior breaker
edge, and a screen-receiving region. The screen-receiving region
comprises an edge-receiving fold that accepts the gutter-engaging edge of
a gutter screen. The superior breaker edge extends upwardly opposite the
inferior breaker edge and is designed to break the water tension of a
water film formed upon the gutter screen. The inferior breaker edge is
designed to prevent water leakage between the screen attachment and the
gutter. The superior breaker edge is of minimized height so as to allow
bulky debris to translate over the superior breaker edge. It is thus
contemplated that the superior breaker edge functions to allow water to
more properly permeate through the gutter screen.
