ABSTRACT:
A light string mounting system which provides simple alignment with respect to rain gutters which provides sufficient space for the cover to remain in the open position. The inventive device includes an elongated base having a U-shaped cross-section, a cover pivotally attached to an upper portion of the base, a bias spring between the cover and the base, and at least one guide member for maintaining a constant distance between the invention and a rain gutter. The bias spring retains the cover in the closed position when the light string is not in use. When the cover is opened to expose the light string, the bias spring retains the cover in the open position. The cover and the base are coated with material which matches the color of the trim of the building structure. The bias spring has a tapered U-shape which prevents side movement of the bias spring during opening and closing of the cover.
