Abstract
A gutter cleaner having a head and a handle. The head is tubular and has a bend and a nozzle. The bend curves in two perpendicular directions, through one angle of 135° to 195° and another angle of 15° to 60°. The nozzle has an egress with one dimension being narrower than the other. The head and handle slidably fitting together and are secured to fix their relative positions. The lower end of the handle is adapted to attach to a vacuum source. The handle has a textured surface for gripping and eyelets for removably attaching a shoulder strap. Optionally, the handle has two sections that are slidably fitted together and that can be secured relative to each other.
Claims8
A gutter cleaner comprising:
- (a) a head and a handle;
- (b) said head being tubular and having an open lower end, a bend, and a nozzle;
- (c) said bend curving in two perpendicular directions, through an angle of approximately 135° to 195° in a first of said directions and through an angle of approximately 15° to 60° in a second of said directions;
- (d) said nozzle having an ingress with two perpendicular directions, a first of said directions being approximately parallel to said bend first direction, said ingress being narrower in said first direction than in a second of said directions;
- (e) said handle being tubular and having an open upper end and an open lower end;
- (f) said head and said handle slidably fitting together;
- (g) a securement means for fixing the relative positions of said head and said handle;
- and
- (h) said handle lower end being adapted to attach to a vacuum source.
