ABSTRACT:
A hang bag for suspension from a rain gutter to receive and contain rain gutter debris. The hang bag has a generally arcuate bow-shaped frame with a straight side portion covered by a pad and a pair of upstanding curved hooks and a pair of handles. A flexible bag having an open top end is received and releasably engaged on the frame. The hooks are received on the open top end of a conventional rain gutter and releasably and slidably engage the open top end of the rain gutter and suspend the frame in a substantially horizontal position, and the pad is engaged on the outer wall of the rain gutter to maintain the bag in a generally vertical position. In a preferred embodiment, the bag has an opening along one side provided with a zipper to facilitate emptying the bag. Optionally, a trash bag can be placed inside the outer bag to serve as a removable liner. A user can place the hang bag on the rain gutter and remove the gutter debris from the gutter and place it in the hang bag. After one section of the gutter has been cleaned, the user can then slide, or lift and move the hang bag to the next section to be cleaned, and the process continues until the gutter is clean. The hang bag is easily lifted off the gutter and emptied.
