ABSTRACT:
A support and mounting bracket is provided for rain gutters having an exposed side and a mounting side, the mounting side having formed at the upper end an L-shaped lip with a horizontal surface and a vertical surface. The support and mounting bracket comprises an elongate, slender and substantially straight body portion which terminates at an outer end portion with at least a lower ramping surface which aids in the installation of the bracket into a rain gutter, the inner end portion being also configured for fitting within the lip of the rain gutter so as to support the exposed side of the rain gutter. The body of the bracket terminates at an inner end portion having a hooked region into which an upper edge of the mounting side of the rain gutter fits upwardly, such inner end region being formed with a downwardly and outwardly inclined aperture through which an elongate attachment, such as a nail or a screw, can be installed to mount the rain gutter to a facia plate or the like. The inner end portion is constructed having a transverse bead at lower regions thereof to help retain the inner end portion onto the upper edge of the mounting side of the rain gutter. Preferably, the bracket is constructed of a transverse cross sectional section of an aluminum extrusion, but may alternatively be constructed of a rigid, tough plastic which contains one or more ultraviolet inhibitors to protect the bracket from degradation due to prolonged exposure to sunlight.
