Abstract
A universal mounting system for attaching replacement gutters to the roof of a building which has roof shingles already in place. It is particularly applicable in those instances in which an elongated hanger strap extends upwardly at longitudinally spaced locations along the length of commonly available gutter hardware. An elongated anchor plate is employed in conjunction with each hanger strap and has a width substantially greater than that of its associated hanger strap. In one instance, the anchor plate is folded about a transverse fold line so as to define a nailing pad and a support pad. An elongated, laterally extending, slot is formed adjacent the fold line to define a mounting strip between the slot and the fold line. The anchor plate is slipped under the roof shingles so as not to be visible and is positioned such that the slot is just exposed, then is attached to the roof by means of a nail piercing the nailing pad only. The support strap is threaded upwardly through the elongated slot, then bent around the mounting strip, first forwardly and then downwardly, any excess length thereof being cut off and discarded. The resultant connection between the support strap and the mounting strip on the anchor plate allows freedom of swinging movement of the gutter trough relative to the building.
