ABSTRACT:
A self-cleaning gutter system formed from two, horizontal, longitudinal halves interlocked along the gutter bottom longitudinal axis. The back half, immediately adjacent to the house or building is fixedly attached thereto. At either end of the gutter a piece transverse to the gutter's longitudinal axis protrudes from the ends of the gutter half fixedly attached to the house or building. A rod is positioned within the gutter along the gutter's longitudinal axis protruding at either end of the gutter through the transverse piece. The front half of the gutter has arms extending therefrom which are journaled to the rod. A gearing system attached to said protruding end engages an actuator shaft which extends vertically to ground level. The ground end of the vertical shaft is journaled to a simple geared handle. The operation of the handle will cause the front half of the gutter to open 180.degree., thereby dumping debris, ice and snow to the ground.
