Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fastening device for leaf protection pipes.
  • From US 706 333 is a fastening device for a in Gutters applicable leaf protection element according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the leaf protection element is designed as a flat leaf guard, which over the Gutter is laid.
  • leaf protection elements in the form of leaf protection pipes known from practice.
  • they can be used as grid pipes be configured, which cut open in the longitudinal direction are different and under tension in gutters Diameter can be used.
  • the bias of the grid pipe basically allows a sufficient hold of the leaf protection tube in the gutter.
  • the leaf protection tubes are in one predetermined standardized length of z. B. 3 m delivered.
  • For equipping a gutter are usually several To arrange leaf protection tubes, which relocated to shock become. It may happen that when pressing the later mounted end of the leaf protection tube the opposite, as the first assembled end of the leaf protection tube is levered out of the gutter. If the user at a End works, is the other, possibly 3 m distant end of this Leaf protection tube no longer easily accessible, so that possibly one Ladder or implement must be repositioned to this now raised first end of the leaf protection tube to assemble again. This makes the installation awkward and costly.
  • From DE 94 20 272 U1 or from US 706 333 is respectively a flat leaf guard known, which over the gutter is placed.
  • This flat grid strip is made by support rods held, which are slotted according to DE 94 20 272 U1 and which embrace the grid strip both on the upper side and on the lower side, and those according to US 706 333 through the holes of Gratings are led, so that they partly over, partly under the grid run. Also in these devices arise on the Top of the foliage cover possibly columns between the fasteners and the grid strip, so that setting leaves in these columns can not be ruled out is.
  • the invention is based on the object, a fastening device to create for leaf protection elements, which the assembly the leaf protection elements facilitates the installation of Leaf protection tubes with full and partial circle cross sections, and which a permanently secure hold the leaf protection tubes guaranteed in their intended mounting position.
  • the invention proposes to use a leaf protection element in the form of a leaf protection tube.
  • the so-called second end of the support rod, which can be fixed to the roof construction is set according to the proposal with a counter-holder on the roof construction, which is particularly simple and inexpensive proposed by default as a commercially available perforated belt, ie as a band which is continuously provided with openings.
  • a low-cost production of the counter-holder is made possible by dividing only the perforated strip into sections of the desired lengths, which then each represent a counter-holder.
  • the variety of holes also makes for the user a particularly simple mounting of the support rod possible, since a variety of mounting, gutter and roof construction conditions always a suitable opening in the perforated belt can be found, which serves the reliable determination of the second end of the retaining rod.
  • Such leaf protection tubes with pitch circle sections can - apart from the lower material costs - desirable be.
  • this gutter cover Due to the convex upward curved arrangement of this gutter cover is like in the beginning, from the practice known leaf protection tube with circular cross section advantageous causes the foliage to dry on this cover and is blown off by the action of wind.
  • Leaf protection tube expressly not only on the known leaf protection tubes with a closed circular cross-section, but also on strips of grid or perforated sheet od. Like., These strips convexly bent upwards on the Gutters are mounted.
  • the support rods deformed, z. B. kinked to design so that the second end opposite to the rest Area of the holding bar is angled upwards, so as to easily insert the second end into the roof structure, for example, under the roof tiles to allow.
  • the support rods elastically deformable to design, so that regardless of the Roof pitch always optimally easy adjustment of the retaining rod to the respective roof construction is possible.
  • the counter-holder made of metal or a have metallic reinforcement, so that for example the Counterholder low priced and space-saving flat packed can and by the user, in adaptation to each one found mounting situation, bent over or angled Can be used to make this way to the roof construction to be held.
  • the metal ensures a reliable Dimensional stability of this deformed counter-holder and thus a reliable and permanent securing of the retaining rod.
  • Further fastening means such as nails, screws od.
  • Can be omitted so that a problem-free attachment of the counter-holder is made possible, even at the Dachrine or there on the roof construction, where otherwise the tightness undesirable by said further attachment means would be affected
  • the roof structure 3 has a bent Leading edge 5 on and an inwardly bent rear edge 6, which is held by a tab 7, which in turn is fixed by means of a rivet 8 on the hook 2.
  • a leaf protection pipe 9 is inserted, which as longitudinally cut lattice tube made of plastic is formed and therefore a plurality of passage openings 10, which allows the unimpeded access of rainwater allow in the gutter 1. Foliage, on the other hand, will retained by the mesh size of the grid of Laubstoffrohres 9.
  • a secure hold of the leaf protection tube 9 in the gutter. 1 is made possible by a fastening device 11, the a holding bar 12 and a counter-holder 14 consists.
  • the holding staff 12 is formed as a metal rod, which is a bent first end 15, which is the front edge 5 of the gutter 1 surrounds, so that the retaining bar 12 and thus also the Leaf protection tube 9 is secured against lifting forces.
  • a second end 16 of the holding rod 12 is the eaves sheet. 4 at.
  • the second end 16 of the holding rod 12 by a led by many openings 17, which has the counter-holder 14, wherein the counter-holder 14 as a perforated strip made of stainless steel is designed.
  • the anvil 14 is around the bends the lower end of the Traufbleches 4 and has a hook-like bent lower end 18, with which the Counter holder 14 the eaves sheet 4 surrounds, so that the Counter-holder 14 is secured against lifting forces.
  • the plurality of passage openings 10 and the openings 17th allow the user to the course of the retaining bar 12th to be determined by the leaf protection tube 9 as desired.
  • the retaining bar 12 is elastic deformed so that it is mounted under tension. To this Way is a particularly safe and vibration-free determination the leaf protection tube 9 in the gutter 1 guaranteed.
  • the second end 16 of the retaining bar 12 and the upper end of the counter-holder 14 are guided under the roof cover, for example, under the bottom row of roof tiles, so that an optically inconspicuous and weather-protected Arrangement of the fastening device 11 is achieved.
  • the fastening device 11 from anyway weather-resistant materials, such as Stainless steel.
  • the leaf protection tube 9 Although slotted, so that a certain overlap in adaptation to the installation situation. Overall, that forms Leaf protection tube 9, however, a closed circular cross-section out.
