ABSTRACT:
An accessory for use with an existing roof gutter support, such as the conventional ferrule and spike, operates as a jack for applying lifting forces to the existing gutter support for lifting and holding it in a position whereby the gutter is maintained perpendicular to the facia board. Gutters which have sagged may thus be restored to their original and level position. The accessory is provided by a generally triangular plate, having flanges along the base and a side thereof, which forms a preferrably acute angle with the base. The flange along the side is disposed in engagement with the existing gutter support and pivots about the apex of the base and side to jack up and lift the existing support or maintain it in level position. The lifting forces are applied when the base of the plate is tilted with the aid of an adjustable jack screw which extends there through its flange into the facia board and draws the base toward the facia board. The flange along the lifting side may be in the form of a channel which surrounds the gutter support (the ferrule).
