  • Patent number: 4194780
    Abstract: A device is described for cleaning leaves and other debris from common house gutters, consisting of a pole handle, to each end of which is attached a simple tool consisting of two arms mounted at right angles to the handle and 180 degrees apart. On the end of each arm is a paddle shaped roughly like the bottom of the gutter. About six inches from the pole, one of the arms is offset some three inches toward the operator. The paddle attached to this arm is smaller in height than that attached to the other.In operation, the paddle on the straight arm pulls the leaves down the gutter until it reaches a cross-strut. The operator then rotates the handle 180 degrees permitting the offset arm and the smaller paddle to pull the leaves under the cross-strut.
