Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention includes a connecting lower half body that contacts and straddles both outer surfaces of the connecting ends of both eaves gutters to be connected, and holds the ears of both eaves gutters; An eaves gutter composed of a connecting upper half body that contacts and straddles both inner surfaces of the connecting ends of both eaves gutters to be connected, and is elastically engaged with the connecting lower half body at both upper edges thereof. More specifically, the present invention relates to a technique for preventing the upper and lower connecting halves from being misaligned in the length direction of the eaves gutter after they are connected, and for improving the workability thereof.

[Background Art] Conventionally, a connecting lower half body contacts and straddles both outer surfaces of the connecting ends of both eaves gutters to be connected, and holds the ears of both eaves gutters, and a connecting end of both eaves gutters to be connected. In the eaves gutter connection structure, which is composed of a connecting upper half that contacts and straddles both inner surfaces of the lower connecting half and is elastically engaged at both upper edges of the connecting lower half, the connecting structure The upper and lower halves may be misaligned in the length direction of the eaves gutter, and it is difficult to tell the inside and outside of the connecting upper half inserted inside the eaves gutter, making it troublesome to connect the eaves gutter at high places. There were other problems.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention was made in view of the above problem, and its purpose is to prevent the upper and lower connecting halves from shifting in the length direction of the eaves gutter after connection, and to Moreover, it is an object of the present invention to provide a connecting tool for eaves gutters that can improve workability.

[Disclosure of the invention] The eaves gutter connector of the present invention touches and straddles both outer surfaces of the connecting ends of both eaves gutters 1, 1 to be connected, and holds the ears 2, 2 of both eaves gutters. Connection lower half 3
and a connecting upper half 4 that contacts and straddles both inner surfaces of the connecting ends of the connecting eaves gutters 1, 1 to be connected, and is elastically engaged with the connecting lower half 3 at both upper edges thereof. A connecting tool for an eaves gutter consisting of a notch 5 extending in the length direction of the eaves gutter 1 on one of both upper edges of the connecting lower half 3 and a long hole-shaped through hole 10 on the other side. ,
A notch 5 and a protrusion 6 to be inserted into the through hole 10 are formed on both upper edges of the connecting upper half 4, and the indoor and outdoor shapes of the connecting upper half 4 are approximately equal. By configuring it in this way, the above object has been achieved. In other words, the connection lower half 3
When connecting the upper connecting half 4 to the lower connecting half 3, there is a notch 5 on one of the upper edges of the lower connecting half 3. The protrusion 6 can be moved freely indoors and outdoors, and the protrusion 6 can be moved indoors and outdoors compared to a structure in which long holes 10 are formed at both upper edges of the connecting lower half body 3. This makes it easy to connect the upper connecting half 4 to the lower connecting half 3, making it easier to perform the high-altitude work of connecting the eaves gutters 1.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings.

The lower connecting half 3 is formed into a substantially U-shape that is substantially equal to the cross-sectional shape of the rectangular eaves gutter 1, and the hollow ears 2 of the eaves gutter 1 are inserted into both upper edges thereof, and the upper surface of the ears 2 is inserted. An ear holding portion 7 is formed to be pressed and held from above. Of the both ear holding parts 7, the inner ear holding part 7a which is on the indoor side in the assembled state is a recessed part with an inner dimension l equal to the outer dimension L in the inner and outer directions of the ear part 2, as shown in FIG. 8, and the ear part 2 can be fitted and held in this recessed part 8. A hanging piece 9 is suspended from the inner edge of the upper piece 7d of the inner ear holding part 7a. The lower surface of the upper piece 7c of the outer ear holding portion 7b facing outdoors in the assembled state is formed into a flat surface. The connecting upper half body 4 is formed into a substantially U-shape that is approximately equal to the cross-sectional shape of the rectangular eaves gutter 1, and the indoor and outdoor shapes of the connecting upper half body 4 are made equal. Thus, the inner surfaces of the connecting lower half body 3 are brought into contact with both outer surfaces of the connecting ends of the both eave gutters 1, 1 to be connected, and the connecting upper half body 4 is made to straddle the connecting ends of the both eave gutters 1, 1 to be connected. It touches and straddles both inner surfaces of the connecting end, and the horizontal piece and the vertical piece connected thereto hold the ear part 2 in the inner and outer directions, and the inner surface of the upper edge of the inner vertical piece 12 The side is hooked and held by the hanging piece 9, and the upper and lower connecting halves 3 and 4 are elastically connected.
The eaves gutters 1 and 1 can be connected to each other. In such a case, it is preferable to apply an adhesive between the eaves gutters 1, 1 and the connecting upper and lower halves 3, 4 to obtain watertightness.

Then, a notch 5 is formed in the inner ear holding part 7a of the connecting lower half body 3, and a notch 5 is formed in the outer ear holding part 7b.
A through hole 10 is formed in. Projections 6 are formed on both vertical pieces 12 of the connection upper half 4, so that the indoor and outdoor shapes of the connection upper half 4 are formed equally. By inserting the protrusion 6 into the notch 5 and the through hole 10, it is possible to prevent the upper and lower connection halves 3, 4 from shifting in the length direction of the eaves gutter 1.

[Effects of the invention] In summary, the present invention forms a notch extending in the length direction of the eaves gutter on one of both upper edges of the connecting lower half body and a long hole-like through hole on the other side. Since the notches and the protrusions that fit into the through holes are formed on both upper edges, when connecting the upper connecting half to the lower connecting half, one of the upper edges of the lower connecting half is connected. Since there is a notch, the protrusion of the upper connecting half can be moved freely indoors and outdoors in this notch, and long holes are formed in each of the upper edges of the lower connecting half. The advantages of this structure are that the protrusion can be moved indoors and outdoors, making it easier to connect the upper connecting half to the lower connecting half, making it easier to perform work at heights such as connecting eaves gutters. There is.
