the present invention is a gutter tool comprised of a body 10 having a handle attachment means 40 , a curved blade 20 , and a shovel blade 30 . the handle attachment means can take a number of forms , including a handle receiving boss 40 as shown in fig1 , 3 , 7 , 8 , and 11 . the handle receiving boss can have internal threads 42 for receiving a handle . in one embodiment , the threads are of a standard ⅝ inch size . other conventional means can be used to attach a handle to the tool , including but not limited to brackets , screws , nails , adhesives , etc . the curved blade 20 extends from the handle attachment means to one end of the body , as shown in fig1 , 2 , 7 and 8 . the curved blade can be crescent - shaped , as shown in these figures , or can be other shapes . the back side of the blade , opposite the handle attachment means , can be rounded , as in fig1 , or flat , as shown in fig6 . the curved blade can have a rib 60 or ribs . see fig1 , 2 , 3 , 7 , and 11 . the end of the blade can be form right angles , as in fig1 , 3 , and 7 , or can be rounded or tapered , as shown in fig1 . an arm extends from the handle receiving boss 40 to the shovel blade 30 , as shown best in fig1 , 2 , and 8 . the arm may be bent into an upper portion , adjacent to the handle receiving boss 40 , and a lower portion , adjacent to the shovel blade 30 . in one embodiment , the angle formed by this bend is obtuse , as shown in fig2 , so that the shovel blade can easily descend into the gutter , even if the operator of the tool is standing at or below the level of the gutter . the back side of the arm , opposite the handle attachment means , can be rounded , as in fig9 , or flat , as shown in fig5 . the shovel blade 30 is used to push debris under the gutter strut , as shown in fig7 . in one embodiment , the shovel blade is rectangularly shaped , see fig1 , 3 , and 7 , although other shapes can be used . in particular , the two corners of the shovel blade nearest to the arm can be rounded or tapered , as shown in fig1 . as shown in fig2 , in one embodiment the shovel blade is planoconcave , although it could take a number of other forms , including but not limited to flat on both sides , or concave on both sides . sidewalls can be added to the curved blade 70 or to the shovel blade 80 . see fig8 . when such sidewalls are used , they help trap debris . ribs 60 , 62 can also be added to the curved blade and the arm / shovel blade , as shown in fig2 . these ribs , which are optional , add support . in operation , a user would place the curved blade in a gutter , and pull the tool towards himself , collecting debris as he goes . upon reaching a gutter strut , the tool is lifted out of the gutter , backed up slightly to provide clearance , and then rotated 180 degrees , thereby placing the shovel blade above the gutter . the shovel blade is then dropped into the gutter , and is used to push the debris under the strut . see fig7 . after clearing the area under the strut , the operator can continue using the curved blade . in one embodiment , the curved blade and the shovel blade are sized so as to be substantially smaller than the width of a standard gutter . for instance , in one embodiment , the width of the curved blade and the width of the shovel blade are both less than 1 . 6 inches . by making the blades substantially smaller than the width of the gutter , it is easier for the operator to place the blade in the gutter . put another way , a blade sized to conform exactly to the width of the gutter would be difficult to insert into the gutter , especially when the blade is on the end of a long pole . also , by keeping the blade width small , the present invention can be used with non - standard gutter configurations . except where the claims of this patent expressly so provide , the present invention is not limited to any particular dimensions . the present invention can be made from any number of suitable materials , including plastic , wood , metal , etc . it can be made by a number of methods , including but not limited to injection molding or other conventional methods . one skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention can be practiced by other than the preferred embodiments , which are presented for purposes of illustration and not of limitation .
