ABSTRACT:
A rain gutter is disclosed which can be deployed in an upward rain collecting position and downwardly in a discharge position as well as a storage position underneath the eaves of a house through hinge members attached to the gutter. A member is attached to the gutter which is operable from ground level to deploy the gutter either upwardly or downwardly and also to secure the gutter in an upward or downward position thereby eliminating the need of changing the upward or downward position of the gutter by using a ladder to reach the gutter. The gutter is especially useful in cold climates where gutters not only have to be cleaned but additionally have to be protected against ice and snow accumulation which tends to pull the gutter away from the side of the building and is also a source of wet rot since the accumulation of ice and snow directs water from a roof into the area behind the gutter.
