Abstract: A device for mounting a structure to the roof of a building, the device comprising a base plate removably secured to the building roof, the base plate having an upper planar surface and a lower planar surface; a standoff comprising an elongated housing which extends outwardly away from said roof and presents a bottom planar surface being removably secured to the roof, and a top planar surface parallel to and remote from the bottom planar surface; and a structure presenting a planar mounting surface extending radially from the structure, wherein the mounting surface being parallel to and spaced from the top planar surface and further being removably secured to the top planar surface; wherein the mounting surface and the top planar surface are adapted to receive a first locking device for removably securing the mounting surface to the top planar surface; and wherein the roof, the base plate, and the bottom planar surface are adapted to receive a second locking device.

Abstract: A gutter hanging bracket device includes an elongated body portion adapted to span an open top of a gutter between front and rear sides of the gutter and having a generally U-shaped cross-sectional channel construction, a forward attachment portion merging from a front end of the body portion and adapted to engage with the front side of the gutter, and a rearward attachment portion merging from a rear end of the body portion and adapted for attaching the rear side of the gutter to an adjacent external structure so as to support the body portion in a cantilevered fashion from the external structure and thereby hang the gutter adjacent to the external structure. The forward and rearward attachment portions form extensions of the body member such that the forward and rearward attachment portions both have generally U-shaped cross-sectional channel constructions continuous with that of the body portion.

Abstract: A temporary gutter retainer includes an attachment member, support member, and lateral containment member. A bottom gusset is preferably formed behind the attachment member, support member, and lateral containment member. A top gusset is preferably formed above the junction between the attachment member and support member. At least two holes are formed through the attachment member. Each of the holes are sized to provide clearance for a suitable screw. The temporary gutter retainer is preferably used in the following manner. A first temporary gutter retainer is attached near one end of a facia board and a second temporary gutter retainer is attached near the other end of the facia board with screws and a portable power tool. The installer places the gutter segment into the first and second temporary gutter retainers. A level is placed inside the gutter segment at one of the ends thereof; the gutter segment is raised or lowered to the correct height; and the gutter segment is then attached to the facia board.

Abstract: A gutter wing system is described, which includes a gutter wing and a collection tube which rotate about a support arm in an automatic cycle between a closed position and an open position to collect and redirect run-off water from the roof of a building, through a trough, while rejecting leaves and other debris from the system.

Abstract: The invention is an adjustable bracket for supporting items on the railings of house decks. The bracket is formed of only two parts without any fasteners. The parts interlock, but can be adjusted to form a clamp around the typical rectangular cross section rail. One part is a support unit which is a simple strap with two bends in it to form two offset sections, and the second part is a clamp unit which is a hook shaped strap with a long leg and a short leg. The preferred embodiment of the connection is a slot formed in the long leg of the clamp unit into which fits a tab protruding from one section of the support unit.
