Patent

CA 2276651

A pivoting gutter assembly is disclosed, in which the gutter can be, during summer months, put into the horizontal collecting position to receive rainwater from the roof and to direct it to a down-spout. For the winter months and or maintenance, the gutters are swung-out to downwards vertical position below the roof cornice thus being protected from damage. The gutter system includes hangers attached to the roof, the hangers each having a bearing. A shaft is inserted into the bearing and the gutter is fixed to the shaft. The system provides for special hangers assuring the correct pitch of the gutters. Also, it contains a down-spout for location above a fixed downward collector for rainwater, thus permitting the gutters to be pivoted from horizontal to vertical position without the need to disconnect the down-spout. A wormgear and wormdrive are attached to the end of shaft, outside the house fascia; this drive permits to operate the gutter's position from the ground level by an extended bar and manually driven crank or by using electric motor's drive attached to worm and remote control, eliminating the need of a ladder to reach downward position particularly important for the gutters installed on the roof high above the ground such as high rise buildings.
