ABSTRACT:
A simplified rotating gutter and bracket system wherein the arcuate gutter is reinforced along its length with multiple stabilizing rings that increase torsional strength. At least some of the stabilizing rings of the gutter are provided with protrusions called engagers. The engagers are placed relatively high on the gutter/stabilizing ring annulus, thus allowing a maximum degree of rotation before the user becomes hampered by the close proximity of a building.
The bracket contains an arcuate portion adapted to receive a gutter of slightly smaller diameter. The arcuate portion of the bracket is attached to the house or building via an attachment portion and house fasteners. Preferably, the bracket is fitted over a stabilizing ring. The arcuate portion of the bracket may also be provided with a slot therein, through which the engager will protrude when the gutter is assembled with the bracket.
The gutter is rotated within the bracket with the aid of a pole hook used to apply force to the gutter via the engager. The gutter may be rotated a full 180.degree., but is prevented from disengaging from the bracket because the arcuate portion is of sufficient arc to hold the gutter.
