Abstract:

A gutter washer comprising a wheel-shaped guide disposed rotatably on a cylindrical section of a nozzle is adapted to run on a roof gutter rim. The guide comprises a guide rim projecting radially from one end of a guide hub member, which rotates on the nozzle cylindrical section, and a plurality of lugs jutting radially from an opposite end of the hub member. Thus, the hub member becomes a circumferential track with the guide lugs running inside and the guide rim running outside of the gutter rim. When a gutter spike is encountered, the guide lugs step over it while keeping at least 2 lugs below the rim which is tangent to the circumferential track. A rigid tube is attached to the nozzle near the guide rim at a first tube end; the second tube end is adapted for connection of a garden water hose.
