Hinge and clip device for gutter guard and system

A hinge device, comprising:

• a base having a channel therein, the channel having an open end and a closed end, the channel having a first groove with an open end proximate the open end of the channel and a second groove with an open end proximate the open end of the channel, the base having a pair of tabs arranged within the channel proximate the closed end;
• a slide having a channel therein, the channel having an open end with a pair of pivot extensions extending therefrom and a pair of slots arranged within a closed end thereof, the slide having a pair of tongues extending from respective external edges adapted to be inserted within the grooves of the base thereby allowing the slide to translate therein;
• a hinge plate having a body with a pair of pivot extensions extending downwardly from a first end and a flange extending upwardly from the first end, the hinge plate having a pair of stop tabs extending from a bottom surface of the body;
• and,
• a pivot pin arranged to be inserted within the pair of pivot extensions of the slide and within the pair of pivot extensions of the hinge plate, thereby pivotably securing the hinge plate to the slide;
• wherein the pair of tabs of the base are arranged to be at least partially seated within the pair of slots when the slide is within the channel of the base and proximate the closed end and further arranged to engage the pair of stop tabs of the hinge plate, thereby preventing the slide from translating within the channel of the base in a direction towards the open end of the channel of the base,
• wherein the base is adapted to be secured to a gutter and the hinge plate is adapted to have a guard secured thereto.

A hinge device, comprising:

• a base having a channel disposed therein, the channel having an open end and a closed end;
• a slide having a channel disposed therein, the channel of the slide having an open end and a closed end, the slide arranged to translate within the channel of the base;
• and,
• a hinge plate pivotably connected to the slide proximate the open end of the channel of the slide;
• wherein the hinge plate prevents the slide from translating within the channel of the base in direction towards the open end of the channel of the base when the hinge plate is resting with the channel of the slide
• wherein the base is adapted to be secured to a gutter and the hinge plate is adapted to have a guard secured thereto.
