Abstract

A gutter system has a gutter that has a front wall, a back wall, and a floor, and the front wall is coupled to the floor and the back wall is coupled to the floor creating a channel through which water and debris flow. The gutter system further has at least one reinforcement hanger comprising at least one leg and the at least one leg couples to the back wall via at least one crimped bend and an arched piece couples to the front wall by insertion into a bend that extends the length of the gutter. Further, the at least one reinforcement hanger has a horizonal plate extending back from the crimped bend and a vertical plate that extends upward from the horizontal plate, the vertical plate has an opening for receiving a fastener to attach the gutter to a fascia board.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What I claim is: 
     
         1 . A gutter system, comprising:
 a gutter comprising a front wall, a back wall, and a floor, and the front wall is coupled to the floor and the back wall is coupled to the floor creating a channel through which water and debris flow;   at least one reinforcement hanger comprising at least one leg, the at least one leg couples to the back wall via at least one crimped bend and an arched piece couples to the front wall by insertion into a bend that extends the length of the gutter, the at least one reinforcement hanger further comprises a horizonal plate extending back from the crimped bend and a vertical plate that extends upward from the horizontal plate, the vertical plate having an opening for receiving a fastener to attached the gutter to a fascia board.   
     
     
         2 . The gutter system of  claim 1 , wherein the crimped bend makes a  1800  turn and extends into a substantially rectangular plate. 
     
     
         3 . The gutter system of  claim 2 , wherein at an end of the substantially rectangular plate is a trough. 
     
     
         4 . The gutter system of  claim 3 , wherein the trough extends outward to the fascia board so that the substantially rectangular plate does not touch the fascia board. 
     
     
         5 . The gutter system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one reinforcement hanger comprises two legs. 
     
     
         6 . The gutter system of  claim 5 , wherein each leg couples to the front wall of the gutter by an arched metal piece. 
     
     
         7 . The gutter system of  claim 6 , wherein each arched metal piece is held by a bend in a top of the front wall. 
     
     
         8 . The gutter system of  claim 7 , wherein each leg has a metal bended hook that bends 180° over the back wall of the gutter. 
     
     
         9 . The gutter system of  claim 8 , further comprising an L-shaped connector. 
     
     
         10 . The gutter system of  claim 9 , wherein the L-shaped connector comprises a horizontal plate that extends backwardly. 
     
     
         11 . The gutter system of  claim 10 , wherein L-shaped connect further comprises a vertical plate that extends upwardly from an end of the horizontal plate. 
     
     
         12 . The gutter system of  claim 11 , wherein the vertical plate comprises an opening. 
     
     
         13 . The gutter system of  claim 12 , wherein the vertical plate comprises an opening for receiving a fastener to fasten the at least one reinforcement hanger to the fascia board. 
     
     
         14 . The gutter system of  claim 13 , wherein the at least one reinforcement hanger comprises a plate that extends downward from the bending hooks and the L-shaped connector. 
     
     
         15 . The gutter system of  claim 14 , wherein at the end of the plate is a trough that offsets the fascia board from the gutter. 
     
     
         16 . A gutter system method, comprising:
 coupling a front wall of a gutter to a back wall of the gutter to a floor of a gutter to create a channel though which water and debris flow;   coupling at least reinforcement hanger to a gutter by coupling at least one leg to the back wall via at least one crimped bend;   coupling at least one and an arched metal piece couples to the front wall by insertion into a bend that extends the length of the gutter;   inserting a fastener through an opening of an L-shaped connector that extends backward from the at least one leg, the L-shaped bend comprising a horizonal plate extending back from the crimped bend and a vertical plate that extends upward from the horizontal plate,   inserting a fastener in an opening in the vertical plate the L-shaped connector offsetting the gutter from the fascia board.   
     
     
         17 . A gutter system, comprising:
 a one-piece gutter reinforcement bracket, which secures a gutter away from a fascia board;   a single screw fastened above a top edge of the gutter in an opening in the reinforcement bracket.
