 a curved end arranged at a second end of the main body portion opposite to the first end and configured to support a second end of the eavestrough; and 
   a fastener tunnel configured to receive a fastener for securing the eavestrough and the hanger bracket to the structure through the clip end.   
     
     
         2 . The hanger bracket of  claim 1  wherein the main body portion comprises a pair of body portions. 
     
     
         3 . The hanger bracket of  claim 2  wherein the pair of body portions are attached along a longitudinal axis of the hanger bracket. 
     
     
         4 . The hanger bracket of  claim 2 , wherein the pair of body portions are mirror images of each other. 
     
     
         5 . The hanger bracket of  claim 1  further comprising an upper contour for supporting a debris guard. 
     
     
         6 . The hanger bracket of  claim 5 , wherein the upper contour comprises at least two contact surfaces for supporting the debris guard. 
     
     
         7 . The hanger bracket of  claim 6 , wherein the fastener tunnel is formed between the at least two contact surfaces. 
     
     
         8 . The hanger bracket of  claim 2 , wherein the pair of body portions are connected to each other via an adhesive, a fastener, a rivet or weldments. 
     
     
         9 . The hanger bracket of  claim 1 , wherein the hanger bracket is formed by injection molding. 
     
     
         10 . A hanger system comprising:
 an eavestrough; and   a hanger bracket, the hanger bracket including:
 a main body portion, the main body portion including;
 a clip end aligned with the structure a first end of the main body portion and configured to be coupled to receive one end of the eavestrough; and 
 a curved end arranged at a second end of the main body portion opposite to the first end and configured to support a second end of the eavestrough; and 
 
 a fastener tunnel configured to receive a fastener for securing the eavestrough and the hanger bracket to the structure through the clip end. 
   
     
     
         11 . The hanger system according to  claim 10 , further comprising:
 a debris guard;   wherein the hanger bracket includes an upper contour for receiving a bottom contour of the debris guard.
