ABSTRACT:
The top wall of the horizontal spout section of a downspout assembly is cut away at the inlet end to create a notch such that interference with the top wall of the outlet end of the elbow section will be avoided when the horizontal section is pivoted to a lowered position. A hinge is fastened on top of the elbow and horizontal sections over the notch. The hinge includes half sections with each having oppositely disposed leg portions functioning as a saddle to straddle the elbow and horizontal sections. One of the hinge half sections includes a pair of spaced apart sleeves between which a single sleeve on the other half section is received. A bolt extends through the sleeves and draws the pair of sleeves frictionally against opposite ends of the single sleeve to lock the horizontal section in a raised over center position. A slot extends from the inner end of the one half section between the pair of sleeves to allow the pair of sleeves to be drawn together.
