ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for connecting a drain trough to a building, including a mounting bracket having an elongated mounting portion and a support portion extending outwardly from a side edge of the mounting portion, the support portion including a first portion which extends upwardly along at least a portion of the side edge and a second portion which extends horizontally from a lower portion of the side edge. The apparatus further includes a harness device and a hinge device for hingedly connecting the mounting bracket with the harness device, wherein the harness device is operable to rotate between a first position wherein the drain trough is operable to receive water therein, and a second position in which the drain trough is inverted for cleaning. The harness device includes an elongated base portion, a connection portion extending downwardly from a side edge of the base portion for connecting the harness device to the mounting bracket, an upwardly extending tab member at a forward edge of the base portion, a rear portion extending upwardly from a rear edge of the base portion, and an overhead member extending forwardly from an upper portion of the rear portion. A method of making a plurality of the mounting apparatuses is provided wherein a plurality of mounting brackets and harness devices are stamped from rectangular sheets of material in a manner which minimizes wasted material.
