Abstract

System to easily install and remove hangers for a string of decorative lights around a house, while standing on the ground and without the use of a ladder. The system is particularly intended for attachment to gutter lips, but could be used to attach light strings to a variety of surfaces found on buildings. The system is comprised of two components, a hanger clip which holds the light string and which has spring loaded jaws to attach to the building, and an elongated staff with hanger clip actuator at one end to temporarily hold the clip until it can be positioned and attached. The staff has an actuating means which opens and closes the hanger clip jaws. In use, the actuating means is used to open the hanger clip jaws, the clip is then positioned on top of the gutter lip or other surface, and then the actuating means is used again to close the hanger clip jaws, allowing the clip to be firmly attached to the gutter lip or other surface. The hanger clip actuator is adapted such that the clip may be rotated in two different axes, if the user wishes to install the clip onto surfaces other than a gutter lip, for example a piece of trim or a light fixture.
