Attorney, Agent or Firm: Arnall Golden & Gregory, LLP

A drip edge for use on a building roof for directing water off of the roof, away from the building and, preferably, into a gutter is provided. The drip edge includes a planar body portion which is positioned under the roofing shingles. An open throat portion, which is substantially U-shaped, can fit over an existing protruding drip edge. A downwardly extending leg portion has a lower flexible section which ends in an outwardly directed foot portion. The drip edge can be installed over an existing drip edge, allowing retrofit of the new drip edge. The drip edge can be used with a variety of gutter designs. The drip edge prevents water from getting between the fascia and the gutter inner wall, protecting the building from water damage and the gutter from damage due to ice accumulation, for example.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION A drip edge for use on a building roof for directing water off of the roof, away from the building and, preferably, into a gutter is provided.
The drip edge includes a planar body portion which is positioned under the roofing shingles.
The drip edge is provided with an open throat portion, which is substantially U-shaped and can fit over an existing protruding drip edge.
A downwardly extending leg portion has a lower flexible section which ends in an outwardly directed foot portion.
The drip edge can be installed over an existing drip edge, allowing retrofit of the new drip edge.
The leg portion is longer than legs of prior art drip edges, which aids in preventing water from getting behind the gutter.
The drip edge can be used with a variety of gutter designs.
The drip edge substantially prevents water from getting between the fascia and the gutter inner wall, protecting the building from water damage and the gutter from damage due to ice accumulation, for example.
