Gutter cleaning device

摘要

The gutter cleaning device removes wet or dry debris in the gutter after being attached to a leaf blower, and is designed to be used while standing on the ground to reach gutters at the first, second and even third story levels without the need for a ladder. The gutter cleaning device includes a nozzle arranged at an angle to the gutter so that the flow of air drives debris in a direction away from the operator, and a fluid-driven agitation device powered simply by air pressure to mechanically stir up heavy debris in the gutter or to prevent the debris from clogging the nozzle. In addition, the gutter cleaning device includes a plough that protrudes forward relative to the nozzle and mechanically lifts compacted debris from the gutter to be blown away by the same flow of air that is used to drive the agitation device.

主权项

1. A gutter cleaning device, comprising
a chassis plate having a leading end, a trailing end and a longitudinal axis that extends between the leading end and the trailing end, the chassis plate being elongated along the longitudinal axis, a fluid supply tube that terminates in a nozzle, and a plough that extends outward from the leading end,wherein
the nozzle includes an outlet opening disposed adjacent the leading end, and a centerline that defines a nozzle axis and is concentric with the outlet opening, the nozzle is secured to the chassis plate such that the nozzle axis is angled acutely relative to the longitudinal axis, and a nozzle-facing surface of the plough has a convex portion configured to urge debris toward the nozzle axis.
