Abstract: A flexible cage is attached to a base which fits in to a gutter downspout opening. A cord is attached at the top center of the flexible cage and it extends through the cage and out of the downspout. The construction of the cage is a hub and spoke system, primarily to be manufactured of plastic. The round spokes are attached to a central hub, the base is fixed and rests in the drain opening, and the legs of the cage to attached to the base. When the cage is not in its active phase, its function is passive, preventing debris from clogging the drain opening. When in operation, via the actuating cord, the design and construction of the cage, along with force applied by pulling the cord, causes the cage to compress and rotate around the drain opening. The action of the device around the drain opening loosens debris and creates openings which allow water to flow freely again.
