ABSTRACT:
A gutter hanger composed of a bracket portion and an elbow portion. The bracket portion has a main body, a clip connected to a first end of the main body and a nose connected to a second end of the main body. The elbow portion has a resiliently flexible arch which is connected to the first end of the main body and terminates in a right angle flange; and has a relatively inflexible knee brace which is connected to the second end of the main body and is connected to a tangent of the arch. The right angle flange and the arch collectively form a corner which is dimensioned to abut the inside corner of the gutter where the rear wall meets the bottom wall. When installed on a gutter, the gutter hanger according to the present invention provides a secure fit with a gutter at the rear wall and the U-shaped member thereof, as would be the case with a conventional gutter bracket, but further adds bracing support via the elbow portion which fully stabilizes the gutter from wind induced wobbling.
