ABSTRACT:
A raingutter leaf guard assembly 8 is mounted on top of a typical raingutter 56 to prevent leaves from passing through a grid 12. A hinge portion 24 permits raising the leaf guard assembly 8 when an angled rod 30 affixed to a long pole 32 is mated to a funnel shaped opening 28 in lever 26. A downward pull of pole 32 from ground level raises the leaf guard assembly 8 and dumps leaf debris to the ground. Assembly 9 is comprised of an elbow 44 permanently connected to a raingutter end cap 38. A long pipe 52 is connected to the elbow 44 from ground level. A female duplex hose bib adaptor 54 completes the pipe thread 50, and garden hose thread 55 connections, thereby flushing a gutter clear of debris. All raingutter maintenance is performed on the ground.
