ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for removing debris from an eaves drain trough employs an elongated handle, a support arm positioned atop the handle and having a contour which accommodates the trough, and a gripping mechanism pendently held by the support arm. The gripping mechanism has upper and lower elongated arms that are pivotally joined at one extremity and spring-urged into a contacting relationship which grips the debris. A tether line downwardly directed from the support arm extends toward the bottom of the elongated handle. A downward pulling force applied to the tether causes the upper and lower arms to separate in jaw-like fashion. Release of the downward pulling force enables the arms to close upon and thereby grip any intervening debris.
