  • Patent number: 4238866
    Abstract: A portable, motor-operated cleaning device for removing leaves and other debris from rain gutters on buildings. An electric motor is pivotally mounted on the end of a telescoping rigid tubular handle with the electric cord for the motor extending along the interior of the handle to a switch mounted on the opposite handle end. A plurality of short sections of flexible line are mounted on the motor shaft for rotation with a high velocity by the motor. Each of the sections of line have a preformed configuration having a portion which extends in a generally radially outwardly direction from the shaft and an integrally connected portion which then extends in a generally concavely curved direction toward the direction of shaft rotation. A bracket is mounted on the motor housing and has a pair of rollers which are mounted at right angles with respect to a third roller to provide for rolling engagement with the horizontal and vertical outer edges of a rain gutter.
