Deflector assembly for a rain gutter

A bracket comprising:

• an upper bracket portion for supporting a deflector assembly;
• a substantially horizontal lower bracket portion for extending beneath a lip of a rain gutter and for attachment thereto, wherein said lower bracket portion further comprises an extension member having an attachment aperture located therein, where said attachment aperture is used for coupling said lower bracket portion to said lip of said gutter;
• and
• an intermediate bracket portion for interconnecting said lower bracket portion and said upper bracket portion, where said intermediate bracket portion extends partially over said lower bracket portion and where said attachment aperture is laterally offset from said intermediate bracket portion.

A bracket comprising:

• an upper bracket portion for supporting a deflector assembly;
• wherein said deflector assembly further comprises a top portion for extending from a roof line and having a distal edge located over a rain gutter, an arcuate portion, formed along said distal edge of said top portion and extending toward said rain gutter, having a curvature for carrying rain water from said top portion into said rain gutter, said top portion having a first end and a second end each containing two attachment apertures therein, a first attachment aperture having a smaller diameter than a second attachment aperture, said top portion being attached to said bracket using said first attachment aperture;
• a lower bracket portion for extending beneath a lip of a rain gutter and for attachment thereto;
• and
• an intermediate bracket portion for interconnecting said lower bracket portion and said upper bracket portion.

A bracket comprising:

• a deflector support portion for supporting and attaching a deflector assembly to a rain gutter;
• wherein said deflector assembly further comprises a top portion for extending from a roof line and having a distal edge located over said rain gutter, an arcuate portion, formed along said distal edge of said top portion and extending toward said rain gutter, having a curvature for carrying rain water from said top portion into said rain gutter, and said top portion having a first end and a second end each containing two attachment apertures thereto, the first attachment aperture having a smaller diameter than a second attachment aperture, said top portion being attached to said bracket using said first attachment aperture;
• a mounting plate, attached to a first end of said deflector support portion, for attaching said bracket to a fascia board or a rear wall of said rain gutter;
• and
• a bracing member attached between said mounting plate and a second end of said deflector support portion.

A bracket comprising:

• a deflector support portion for supporting and attaching a deflector assembly to a rain gutter;
• a mounting plate, attached to a first end of said deflector support portion, for attaching said bracket to a fascia board or a rear wall of said rain gutter, wherein said mounting plate further comprises a plurality of vertically-arranged receiving slots, one of which interfits with an end of said bracing member, such that the height of said top portion of said deflector assembly above the rain gutter is adjustable by selecting one of said plurality of receiving slots;
• and
• a bracing member attached between said mounting plate and a second end of said deflector support portion.
