ABSTRACT:
This invention is directed to a gutter ferrule comprised of a plastic material, such as ABS or polypropolene. The advantages of producing the ferrule from a plastic material include the ability to injection mold the ferrule such that the entire piece is continuous without any seams. The plastic ferrule is generally a tubular shape in which one end has a funnel portion formed to it in a continuous fashion. The funnel portion enables a worker to more easily guide a support spike through the gutter walls and gutter ferrule into a support structure such as the eave of a roof. In the preferred embodiment, the funnel portion has a generally rectangular opening, however, other shapes offer the same advantages.
