US Patent 10267043 Enhanced gutter hanger

A gutter hanger for hanging a rain gutter on the fascia board of a structure or building. The gutter hanger includes an elongated horizontal top member connected to a downwardly extending back member. A bore for a fascia screw extends from a bump in the inner surface of the back member the outer or back surface of the back member or leg. The bump includes a bearing surface generally perpendicular to the axis of the bore. The gutter hanger also includes an upwardly extending protrusion to engage the lip of the gutter. The top member also includes a threaded bore hole to accept a screw, so that the top member may be attached to the top front of the gutter with a threaded fastener.
