The purpose of this project was to design an adjustable gutter bracket for Lindab Profil AB. Lindab currently manufacture a gutter bracket that is adjustable in angle, however, this model has some drawbacks.  One of it´s shortcomings is that it is somewhat difficult for the customer to mount.  Another problem with Lindab’s current model is that the design makes manufacturing unnecessarily complex. The new gutter bracket, that we have constructed, does not have these problems. It is adjustable for different roof pitches. It is easy to mount to the fascia board and the manufacturing process has been simplified as well.

In the project we have used a design methodology developed by Fredy Olsson.  In addition to designing the product we have performed FEM analysis, to ensure that it will endure  loads and stress.  We have used the CAD software Catia v5 for this, and for the 3d models. Drawings are attached to  the document.
