ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a gutter cleaner for cleaning and removing leaves and other debris from a gutter. The gutter cleaner is characterized by an elongated handle that enables the same to be hand-held by an individual at ground level and adapted to extend upwardly above the level of the gutter to be cleaned. Pivotably mounted to the upper portion of the elongated handle is a pair of arms pivotably mounted about a common axis and spring biased to outward open positions. Secured to the lower remote ends of each of said arms is a pair of tine assemblies or cleaning hands that are adapted to move along the gutter towards each other so as to accumulate leaves and other debris therebetween. To actuate the arms and consequently the tine assemblies, there is provided a flexible connecting means such as a rope or cord that is fixed to each of the arms at a point intermediate the ends and extending downwardly therefrom to where the individual holding the elongated handle may actuate the arms from ground level by pulling the rope and consequently urging the arms inwardly such that the tine assemblies are moved inwardly towards each other so as to accumulate the leaves and other debris into a bundle of material that can be readily removed.
