Abstract: A gutter screen is provided to be placed over the open top of a gutter to enclose the top to enable water to enter but to keep debris out. The gutter screen has a longitudinally-extending front portion, a longitudinally-extending rear portion, and an intermediate longitudinally-extending portion. A front edge of the front portion has divergent legs to engage a front lip of the gutter to help hold the gutter screen in place. The intermediate portion is perforate over substantially the width thereof from the back portion to the front portion of the gutter and being convex as viewed from above. The back portion preferably has two longitudinally-extending, directly opposite grooves near the intermediate portion. These enable the back portion to be bent upwardly or downwardly to fit a particular installation. The back portion can be bent upwardly or downwardly to engage a fascia behind the gutter.

Abstract: A ladder support is provided for use with an eavestrough or gutter. The support is mounted in the eavestrough without the necessity of using fasteners. It is also mostly concealed by the eavestrough and yet supports the ladder in spaced relationship thereto so that the ladder does not contact the eavestrough and cause damage to it. The ladder support includes two main legs having members at first ends adapted to engage the eavestrough at the juncture of a back wall and a bottom thereof with the legs being of sufficient length to extend above and beyond a front rim of the eavestrough. Second ends of the main legs have brackets for engaging the rails of the ladder to support it spaced from the eavestrough and to resist sideways movement. Outwardly-extending leg braces are affixed to intermediate portions of the main legs and have feet for engaging the interior of the rim for resisting movement of the main legs when a ladder is supported thereby.

Abstract: This invention consists of a hanger by means of which eavestroughing can be nailed to a building so that the nail is embedded into the wood framework of the building, at a downward angle, and so that the head of the nail is not visible on the front wall of the eavestroughing. The hanger is provided with a hook at its front end for attachment to the upper rim of the front wall of the eavestrough, and a plate at its rear end, which abuts the inside of the rear wall of the trough, when it is inserted therein. Starting from about half way of the hanger and running at a downwardly inclined angle to the rear wall is an open ended tube for holding and guiding a nail therein. The hanger and the tube are provided with attached strips for reinforcement.
