ABSTRACT:
The eavestroughing system uses hidden hooks in combination with a particular evestrough which allows the effective placement of a leaf screen within the eavestroughing system. The leaf screen is engaged either side thereof in a simple manner, allowing convenient ease of insertion of the screen within the eavestroughing system and in a predetermined orientation. The eavestrough section cooperates with the hanger to provide support for the screen adjacent a forward edge of the screen and also serves to hide the forward edge of the screen within the eavestrough section. The preferred orientation of the screen advantageously is disposed at a downwardly extending angle to the forward edge of the eavestrough to encourage the movement of debris across the screen towards the forward edge where it can easily be removed by the end user and/or removed by natural causes. This natural tendency to move the debris across the screen reduces accumulation of debris on the screen. Furthermore, the particular support arrangement has higher support adjacent the forward edge and therefore, if there is any accumulation, there is better support for the screen at this position. The present system provides a simple and convenient arrangement for a fully integrated plastic eavestroughing system.
