Apparatus for removing debris includes an elongated hollow structure with at least a portion of the elongated structure extends in a curved configuration and the elongated hollow structure includes a sidewall which defines an opening which extends within and along the elongated structure and defines a first and second apertures spaced apart from one another in communication with the opening wherein the first and second apertures face in the same direction. An elongated insert member includes a width dimension smaller than a width dimension of the opening which extends within and along the elongated structure; a rod; and a ram component constructed of a flexible conduit connected to the rod. The rod has a stiffer construction than the ram component.

An apparatus for removing debris, including an elongated hollow structure wherein, at least a portion of the elongated hollow structure extends in a curved configuration. The elongated hollow structure comprises a sidewall which defines an opening which extends within and along the elongated structure. The sidewall also defines a first and second apertures spaced apart from one another and in communication with the opening. The apparatus further includes an elongated insert member having a length which exceeds a length of the elongated hollow structure and has a width dimension smaller than a width dimension of the opening and the first and second apertures such that the elongated insert member slides within the elongated hollow structure and in and out of the first and second apertures.

A pole section for temporary assembly with similar pole sections into an elongate pole assembly to extend the manual reach of a user whereby a user can perform work on a worksite remote from the user where the site is elevated by up to 20 m above the user. Each pole section (1a, 1b) includes a male end (2) and a female end (3), having a complementary taper to slide into or around the other of a male or female end and form a fluid tight joint with a stiffness similar to or greater than the overall stiffness of the pole. The ends (2, 3) of each pole section (1) includes one of first and second complementary coupling parts (6, 9). The coupling parts cooperate to prevent the pole sections moving relatively towards each other under the weight of overlying pole sections in use and therefore prevent the pole sections jamming together and becoming difficult to disassemble. A resiliently deformable locking structure is provided in a coupling part by a ring spring (114).

A brush with bristles attached to multiple sides is designed to clean any gutter guard type that is manufactured today, including reverse curve type gutter guards. The brush has a main body of reverse-oriented bristles and accommodates an extension pole on the reverse side. When placed on top of the gutter guard, the brush can be pushed/pulled back and forth using the pole to dislodge any unwanted debris attached to the gutter guard's working surface. The use of the pole removes the need for a person to be on the roof when attempting to clean the gutter and/or gutter guard. With multiple bristle orientations, the brush can be used for other outdoor cleaning uses, such as house fixtures, structures, windows and so forth.

A rain gutter cleaning tool has a scraper portion and a hook portion connected on opposite sides of a main body portion, as well as a tool attachment portion. The scraper portion is used to maneuver debris within a rain gutter to within the user's reach, while the hook portion is used to maneuver debris underneath gutter hangers which provide obstacles to the use of the scraper portion. The tool attachment portion is internally threaded to accommodate an extension pole. Thus, the user is able to easily and effectively clear a significant portion of a rain gutter without having to climb down from a ladder and move the ladder to a new spot in order to bring more debris within their reach for cleaning.

The present invention relates to an intelligent interactive apparatus, system and method that aligns with property trimming and cutting tools such as pole saws, lawnmowers or unmanned aerial drones. More particularly, the present invention relates to a pole saw or autonomous lawnmower with attached functional accessories such as autonomously operated line trimmer or lawn edging devices operating on a 360 degree axis obtaining power and motion on a electro magnetic levitation system and having an attached imaging apparatus assembly that is linked to a display output device allowing for more intelligent and consistent tree, grass, and hedge views and overall control. The tree trimming imaging apparatus assembly of the present invention allows for an intelligent interactive system wherein the method used makes a user capable of a more accurate and safe tree, hedge, or property trimming experience. The present invention's system is linked by superimposed design overlays giving augmented reality guidance, and an interactive imaging apparatus for an improved viewing method. The imaging device enables a more accurate tree, hedge or property grass trimming experience using an imaging and proximity sensors, and laser guided focal area that intelligently follows a grid mapping axis process using artificial intelligence algorithm and defect predictive analytics engine to reduce property maintenance trimming errors, safety risks, and difficulty.

A dispenser attachment device configured to attach to a conventional snow roof rake tool having a handle, the dispenser attachment device including a reservoir compartment to store and release a de-icing material, an attachment member configured to detachably couple to the tool, and a stabilizer having an upper member and a lower member extending therefrom to stabilize the reservoir compartment when releasing the de-icing material, wherein the reservoir compartment stores the de-icing material when in a first position and dispenses the de-icing material when the reservoir compartment is rotated to a second position.

The gutter clearing device provides an adjustable barrier and attachment base with base aperture attachable to a base. The barrier opens to expose the base aperture and provide access into a gutter aperture of the gutter. The adjustable barrier closes to allow the water to flow across the gutter clearing device towards the downspout. A seal on the gutter clearing device between the barrier and the attachment base reduces the amount of water that leaks at the gutter clearing device. A seal located between the attachment base and gutter also reduces the amount of water that leaks at the gutter clearing device.

Example apparatuses and methods are directed to an apparatus for clearing a downspout connected to a gutter, methods of making the same, and methods of clearing a downspout. An example apparatus may include a base configured to be attached to an extension pole, and a hook secured to the base. The hook comprises a first projection, a second projection, and an intermediate curved portion joining the first and second projections. The second projection extends to an end knob and may be configured to be extended downward through a gutter to position the end knob within a downspout extending below the gutter while the base is positioned below an upper edge of the gutter adjacent the downspout.

A system and devices to clean a rain gutter include a selectively openable end cap provided at an end of a gutter that is configured to be selectively positionable between a closed state and an open state to access an interior of the gutter, and a plurality of debris collecting members configured fit inside the gutter and to be selectively inserted and removed from the gutter in a sliding manner, wherein each of the debris collecting members is configured to be coupled to another of the debris collecting members such that an entirety of coupled debris collecting members may be moved along the gutter by force applied to one end of the coupled debris collecting members.
