Patent attributes
A rain gutter installation device including an expandable rain gutter support and hoist member. The device is constructed to have a transverse cross-sectional area sufficiently large enough to accommodate the sizes and shapes of conventional gutters. The device can include at least one first trough and at least one second trough movable relative to the first trough. The device may expand from about 6 to about 20 feet in length, whereby a considerable length of gutter may be supported in the desired mounting orientation and the likelihood of excessive twisting of the ends of the gutter during hoisting is minimized. As a result, a single installer can install gutter lengths of up to about 60 feet without the assistance of one or more additional installers.
