Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an eaves gutter support tool used to support eaves gutter provided at the eaves of a building.

(Prior Art) Some eaves gutter supports are of a hanging type that supports eaves gutter in a suspended state by locking gutter ears formed on the eaves gutter.

In such eaves gutter supports, when locking the gutter ears with the locking parts, insertability is required to allow the gutter ears to be easily inserted into the locking parts, and to prevent the gutter ears from coming off the locking parts. It is required to satisfy various conditions such as external force applied to the eaves gutter, thermal expansion/contraction and deformation of the eaves gutter itself, mobility to absorb the unevenness of the fascia board, and structural simplicity.

Conventional eaves gutter supports that take into account the above-mentioned conditions include, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application No. 60-42831 and Japanese Utility Model Application No. 5
The one described in Japanese Patent No. 9-69337 is known.

In the former eaves gutter support, locking portions to which the gutter ears of the eaves gutter are locked are formed at both ends of the support rod, and a spring plate is mounted inside the locking portions. That is, when inserting the gutter tab into the locking portion, the spring plate is pushed in while being elastically deformed, and after insertion, the spring plate returns to its original state, thereby preventing the gutter tab from coming off.

In addition, the latter eaves gutter support has a supporting rod connected at the center with a hinge, locking parts formed at both ends, and a retaining plate elastically supported on the underside of the supporting rod via a spring. there were.

Therefore, when inserting the gutter lug into the locking part, the retaining plate is lifted upward against the support rod and pushed in, and after insertion, the retaining plate returns to its original state to prevent the gutter lug from coming off. Ta. In addition to the fact that the retaining plate is elastically supported.

The ability of the support rod to make circular movements around the hinges prevents external forces applied to the eaves gutter, thermal expansion, contraction and deformation of the eaves gutter itself,
It was able to absorb some of the unevenness of the fascia board.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, the former eaves gutter support device is difficult to use when an external force is applied to the eaves gutter, when the eaves gutter itself expands, contracts or deforms due to heat, or when the fascia board becomes uneven. In some cases, the eaves gutter moves somewhat relative to the eaves gutter support due to the elastic deformation of the spring plate, and although it attempts to absorb these external forces, thermal expansion, contraction and deformation of the eaves gutter, and unevenness of the fascia plate, the spring The board is basically
Since the gutter ears are supported under pressure so as not to fall from the locking portion, it has been difficult to satisfy both the ability to prevent the gutter ears from being pulled out and the mobility of the eaves gutter.

In addition, the latter eaves gutter support requires a large number of parts, such as divided support rods, hinges, springs, and retaining plates, and requires time and effort to assemble them. However, since it takes time and effort to assemble these, the manufacturing efficiency is poor, and the structure is also complicated.

Furthermore, because the support rod can move in a circular motion using the hinge as a fulcrum, it can absorb external forces applied to the eaves gutter, thermal expansion, contraction and deformation of the eaves gutter itself, and unevenness of the fascia board. The spacing between the locking parts of the gutter became unstable, and the ability to prevent the gutter ears from being pulled out was also lacking.

The present invention aims to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems and provide an eaves gutter support that satisfies all of the requirements of insertability, removal prevention, mobility, and structural simplicity.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the eaves gutter support device of the present invention is an eaves gutter support device in which a locking portion to which the gutter ears of the eaves gutter are locked is formed. The locking portion is formed with a locking protrusion that engages with the gutter lug, and a retaining piece that faces the locking protrusion, and the retaining piece is swingably suspended from the support body. A stopper is provided at the tip of the hanging piece and restricts the swinging of the hanging piece so that the distance between the locking protrusion and the retaining piece does not exceed the front-to-back width of the gutter ear.

Further, a notch may be formed in the locking protrusion so that the locking protrusion can be bent and deformed.

(Function) In the eaves gutter support device of the present invention, by inserting the gutter ear of the eaves gutter from between the locking protrusion formed in the locking portion and the retaining piece,
The locking protrusion is engaged with the gutter ear to support the eaves gutter in a suspended state.

Each claim will be explained below.

In the eaves gutter support according to claim 1, since the retaining piece is provided at the tip of the hanging piece that is swingably suspended from the support body, the gap between the locking protrusion and the hanging piece is It spreads by swinging, and the gutter ear can be easily inserted.

Furthermore, the swinging of the hanging piece allows the removal piece to move in the front-rear direction, so that the eaves gutter can slide in the front-rear direction with respect to the eaves gutter support. Therefore, this sliding movement of the eaves gutter can absorb external forces applied to the eaves gutter, thermal expansion/contraction and deformation of the eaves gutter itself, and unevenness of the fascia board.

In addition, a stopper is provided to restrict the swinging of the hanging piece so that the distance between the locking protrusion and the retaining piece does not exceed the front-to-back width of the gutter ear, thereby preventing the locking protrusion from coming off the gutter ear. It is effective in preventing and preventing leakage.

Next, in the eaves gutter support device according to claim 2, since the locking protrusion can be bent and deformed by the notch, the gap between the locking protrusion and the retaining piece is reduced by the bending deformation of the locking protrusion. It expands and allows easy insertion of gutter ears.

In addition, by bending and deforming the locking protrusion, the eaves gutter can slide in the front and back direction relative to the eaves gutter support, so this sliding of the eaves gutter reduces the external force applied to the eaves gutter and the eaves gutter. It can absorb its own thermal expansion and contraction and the unevenness of the fascia board.

Further, since the retaining piece is provided opposite to the locking protrusion, it is effective in preventing the locking protrusion from coming off from the gutter ear.

(Example) Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

It is provided with a retaining piece 23b that holds the gap 23c and faces the locking protrusion 23a.

Notches 5a and 5b are formed on the lower surface of the locking protrusion 23a, and the locking protrusion 23a can be bent and deformed by the cutouts 5a. Further, the opening 51a of the notch 5a is formed to be narrower than the inner part, so that bending deformation of the locking protrusion 23a is restricted at a position where the opening 51a is closed.

Further, the retaining piece 23b is attached to the horizontal portion 22 of the support rod portion 22.
It is integrally provided at the tip of a hanging piece 231 hanging down from 1. The hanging piece 231 is formed in a 7-shape with a branched upper end, and one branched upper end 232 is connected to the horizontal part 22.
1, and the other branch upper end 233 is connected to the horizontal part 221
The branch E end portion 232 connected to the horizontal portion 221 is bent and deformed to be able to swing relative to the horizontal portion 221 . That is, as shown in FIG. 4, this branched upper end portion 233 provided apart from the horizontal portion 221 acts as a stopper that restricts the swinging of the hanging piece 231 when the upper end surface comes into contact with the horizontal portion 221. It has become. The branch upper end @233 is formed to restrict the swinging of the hanging portion 231 so that the distance between the locking protrusion 23a and the retaining piece 23b does not become larger than the longitudinal width of the rear wing 14.

As shown in FIG. 3, the previous page locking portion 24
A locking protrusion 24a formed at the upper end of 24 and engaged with the recess 16 of the front wing 15, and a groove 24 into which the hanging piece 17 is inserted.
and a retaining piece 24b that faces the locking protrusion 24a and holds the locking protrusion 24a in between. The retaining piece 24b has upper and lower lip portions 24d and 24e, and each of the lip portions 24d and 24e is formed to have a narrow width so that it can be bent and deformed. Further, the upper surface of the retaining piece 24b is formed into an inclined surface that descends toward the groove portion 24c.

Further, the base portion of the previous page locking portion 24 and the upwardly inclined portion 2
A notch 5 is formed on the lower side of the page 24, and the entire front page locking portion 24 can be bent and deformed using the notch 5 as a fulcrum. Further, the opening 51 of the notch 5 is formed narrower than the inner part, and bending deformation of the previous page locking part 24 is restricted at the position where the opening 51 is closed.

Next, the operation of the first embodiment will be explained.

When supporting the eaves gt with the eaves gutter support 2 of this embodiment, the eaves gutter support 2 is fixed to the fascia board 3 at the fixing part 21, and then the eaves 1t is fixed at the rear page locking part 23. At the same time, the front wing 15 of the eaves gutter I is locked with the front page locking part 24.

The back piece 14 is locked by the back page locking part 23 by pushing the back piece 14 through the gap 23C between the locking protrusion 23a and the retaining piece 23b and engaging the locking protrusion 23a with the lower surface 18 of the back piece 14. This is done by The retaining piece 23b comes close to (or may come into contact with) the inner surface of the rear wall 12.

In this case, since the retaining piece 23b is provided at the tip of the hanging piece 231 that is swingably suspended from the support rod 22, the gap 23c between the locking protrusion 23a and the retaining piece 23b is The rear piece 14 can be easily inserted.

Furthermore, since the retaining piece 23b is movable in the front-back direction by the swinging of the hanging piece 231, the eaves gutter 1 can be slid in the front-rear direction with respect to the eave gutter support 2. That is, when an external force is applied to the eaves gutter 1 due to snow accumulation, lightning load, collision with a ladder or a ball, when thermal expansion/contraction or deformation occurs in the eave 611 itself due to temperature change, or when the fascia plate 3 becomes uneven. In some cases, the eaves gutter 1 slides in the front-back direction. If an external force is applied to the eaves gutter 1 due to the sliding of the eaves gutter 1, this external force can be absorbed and damage to the rear piece 14 can be prevented, and the eave gutter 1 itself will not undergo thermal expansion, contraction or deformation. In this case, it is possible to absorb the movement of the eaves gutter l in the axial direction and the front-rear direction, thereby preventing the deformation of the eaves gutter l and the disconnection of the connection part. This allows the eaves gutter 1 to be properly attached to the eave gutter support 2 by absorbing the unevenness and the error in the relative position between the rear page locking portion 23 and the rear piece 14.

FIG. 4 shows a state in which the rear piece 14 is sliding forward on the upper surface of the locking protrusion 23a while pushing the retaining piece 23b forward.

Further, the hanging piece 231 provided with the retaining piece 23b has a branched upper end portion 2 that restricts swinging so that the distance between the locking protrusion 23a and the retaining piece 23b does not become wider than the longitudinal width of the rear piece 14.
33 is provided, so that the locking protrusion 23a is connected to the rear piece 14.
It is effective in preventing it from coming off.

Further, the previous page locking portion 24 locks the piece 15 by engaging the locking protrusion 24a with the recess 16 and inserting the hanging piece 17 into the groove 24c. In this case, since the lips 24d and 24e of the retaining piece 24b can be bent and deformed, insertion of the locking protrusion 24a into the recess 16 and insertion of the hanging piece 17 into the groove 24c are facilitated.

In addition to the bending deformation of the lips 24d and 24e of the retaining piece 24b, the locking protrusion 24a can be bent and deformed as a whole using the notch 5 as a fulcrum. It becomes possible to slide to. That is, it is possible to absorb the external force applied to the eaves gutter l, the thermal expansion, contraction and deformation of the eave gutter l itself, and the unevenness of the fascia board 3. Furthermore, since the retaining piece 24b is provided, it is possible to reliably prevent the engaging protrusion 24a from coming off the lower surface 19 of the rear piece 18.

As described above, in the eaves gutter support 2 of this embodiment, the rear piece 14 and the front wing 15 are connected to the rear piece locking part 23 and the front page locking part 24.
In addition, the rear piece 14 and the front wing 15 do not come off from the rear page locking part 23 and the front page locking part 24, and furthermore, the eaves gutter l itself is protected against external force and the eaves gutter l itself. It is also possible to absorb thermal expansion, contraction and deformation of the fascia plate 3 and unevenness of the fascia plate 3. Moreover, by making it an integrally molded synthetic resin product, even a somewhat complicated shape can be efficiently formed in one molding process. Note that only the rear page locking portion 23 and the front page locking portion 24 may be formed of synthetic resin, and the other portions may be formed of metal.

Next, a second embodiment will be described based on FIG. This embodiment corresponds to the eaves gutter support recited in claim 2.

FIG. 5 shows the rear page locking part of the eaves gutter support. The other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment, so explanations will be omitted. In addition, regarding the configuration of the rear piece locking portion, the same parts as in the first embodiment will be described with the same reference numerals.

In this embodiment, a cutout 5a is formed on the lower surface of the locking projection 23a, and the locking projection 23a is formed to be bendable and deformable by the cutout 5a. Note that the opening 51a of the notch 5a is formed narrower than the inner part, and this opening 5
Bending deformation of the locking protrusion 23a is restricted at the position where 1a is closed.

The retaining piece 23b is formed in a single character shape, and is attached to the support rod portion 2.
It is possible to swing relative to the horizontal portion 221 of No. 2.

Next, the operation of the second embodiment will be explained.

The rear wing 14 is locked by the rear page locking portion 23 of this embodiment by pushing the rear wing 14 through the gap 23c between the locking protrusion and the retaining piece 23b, and the locking protrusion 23a is attached to the lower surface 18 of the rear wing 14. This is done by engaging. The retaining piece 23b is the rear wall 1 of the eaves gutter 1.
It will be in a state of being close to (or may be brought into contact with) the inner surface of 2.

In this case, since the locking protrusion 23a can be bent and deformed by the notch 5a, and the retaining piece 23b can be moved back and forth by the swinging of the hanging piece 231, the gap 23c between the locking protrusion 23a and the retaining piece 23b is is widened by the bending deformation of the locking protrusion 23a and the back and forth movement of the retaining piece 23b, and the rear wing 1
4 can be easily inserted.

Further, since the retaining piece 23b is provided opposite to the locking projection 23a, it is effective in preventing the locking projection 23a from coming off from the lower surface 18 of the rear wing 14.

Furthermore, by bending and deforming the locking protrusion 23a,
The eaves gutter l is slidable in the rear direction and has a retaining piece 23b.
By swinging, the eave gutter I can be slid forward. That is, when an external force is applied to the eaves gutter 1 due to snow accumulation, lightning load, collision with a ladder or ball, etc., when the eaves gutter 1 itself undergoes thermal expansion/contraction or deformation due to temperature change, or when the fascia board 3 becomes uneven. If there is a
slides back and forth. If an external force is applied to the eaves 441 due to the sliding of the eaves 941, this external force can be absorbed and damage to the rear wing 14 can be prevented, and if the eaves gutter 1 itself undergoes thermal expansion, contraction or deformation. In this case, it is possible to absorb the movement of the eaves gutter l in the axial direction and the front-rear direction, thereby preventing the deformation of the eaves gutter l and the disconnection of the connection part. By absorbing this unevenness, the rear page locking portion 23 and the rear wing 14
The eaves 41 can be properly attached to the eaves gutter support 2 by absorbing the error in the relative position.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above in detail with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and even if there are design changes within the scope of the gist of the present invention, they are included in the present invention. It will be done.

For example, the front page locking portion may have the same structure as the back page locking portion, or other structures may be applied.

Further, in the first embodiment, the stopper for regulating the swinging of the hanging piece is formed on the hanging piece, but it may be provided on the mounting rod of the support body.

(Effects of the Invention) As described above, in the eaves gutter support according to claim 1, the retaining piece is provided at the tip of the swingable hanging piece, and the swinging of the hanging piece is restricted. Even though it has a simple structure with just a stopper, the gutter lug can be easily inserted into the locking part, and the gutter lug can be prevented from coming off the locking part, and it is able to prevent external forces from being applied to the eaves gutter. The thermal expansion and contraction of the eaves and gutters themselves and the unevenness of the hidden board can be absorbed extremely effectively.

In addition, although the eaves gutter support device according to claim 2 has a simple structure in which only a notch is formed in the locking protrusion,
The gutter ears can be easily inserted into the locking parts, and the gutter ears can be prevented from coming off the locking parts, and can be prevented from being affected by external forces applied to the eaves gutter, thermal expansion and contraction of the eaves gutter itself, and unevenness of the fascia board. The effect is that you can challenge yourself and absorb it effectively.
