Abstract

An eaves gutter arrangement includes a channel section (1), the bottom surface (12) of which is supported by a gutter mounting bracket (2) attached to an eaves board with the rear wall (10) of the channel section in abutment with the bracket. The bracket includes a tongue (56) which engages around the upper edge (16) of the rear wall of the channel section. The free long edge of the front wall (14) of the channel section has a claw-like configuration, such as to form an anchorage (22) for one end (72) of a strut (3). The mounting bracket (2) has an upper part (46) in which there is formed a part (58) which protrudes outwardly towards the channel section (1), in a manner to define a pocket (60) into which a downwardly extending part of the other end (79) of the strut can be inserted and secured. The tongue (56) comprises a part punched from the mounting bracket (2) at a location beneath the outwardly protruding part (58). The tongue is a lower continuation of the outwardly protruding part and preferably incorporates a spring-like characteristic.
