Abstract: 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.
