ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method is disclosed for manipulating a gutter to facilitate the dumping of debris from the gutter. Mounting structure supports the gutter for rotation about a longitudinal axis of the gutter, the longitudinal axis being located within the gutter between its upper edge and its bottom whereby the radius of rotary motion of the gutter is less than its depth. A drive apparatus is connected to rotate the gutter in response to the application of power thereto. A crank assembly is connected to the drive apparatus to transmit power to the drive apparatus for rotating the gutter. The drive apparatus responds to the application of power to the crank assembly in a continuous uniform fashion to rotate the gutter over a reciprocatory rotational excursion. Detent structure indicates when the gutter is in a substantially upright position. Structure is disclosed for providing for fluid communication between two gutters rotatable relative to one another, without inhibiting their relative rotatability. Alternate cranking and drive apparatus is also disclosed which is responsive to rotative motion of the cranking apparatus to rotate the gutter over an angular displacement substantially equal to that of the rotation of the cranking assembly.
