Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a gutter support used when attaching an eaves gutter to the eaves of a building.

(Prior art) As a conventional gutter support, for example,
The one described in Publication No. 15300 and the like is known.

This conventional gutter support has a plate spring fixed to the support body with bolts, a locking piece formed by bending the end of the support body, and a locking piece formed by bending the end of the plate spring. A support structure for supporting the ear part of the eaves gutter is constructed by the spring piece formed by the spring piece, and the ear part of the eaves gutter is supported between the locking piece and the spring piece while elastically deforming the spring piece. By pushing in, the locking piece locks the ear, and the spring piece prevents the ear from coming off.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the case of such conventional gutter supports, the leaf spring can be elastically deformed even when supporting the ears of the eaves gutter. When a large load is applied to the eaves gutter supported by the support due to strong winds or snow accumulation, the leaf spring may deform and the ears may come off.

(Means for solving the problem) The present invention was made with the purpose of solving the above-mentioned problems, and in order to achieve this purpose, the present invention combines the support body and the leaf spring. In the gutter support device, the rear support structure of the eaves gutter is composed of a support part of the support body and a leaf spring arranged at an interval narrower than the width of the ear part of the eaves gutter, The tip of the spring is arranged close to the main body of the support, and the tip of the adjacent leaf spring and the main body of the support fit into each other when the ear is pushed between the support and the leaf spring. The means is formed with a fitting part that maintains the spacing between the support part and the leaf spring narrower than the width of the ear part when the part is supported.

(Function) In the gutter support of the present invention, the eaves gutter is attached by pushing the ear part between the support part of the support body and the leaf spring. The fitting part of the leaf spring and the fitting part of the support body fit into each other, and in the ear supported state after the ear is pushed in, the plate spring is fitted with the fitting part of the leaf spring and the support body. Elastic deformation of the spring is regulated. That is, the distance between the support part and the leaf spring is maintained narrower than the width of the ear part, and the load-bearing strength of the support structure formed by the support part and the leaf spring is improved.

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

First, the configuration of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be described.

The gutter support of this embodiment is fixed to a fixed surface such as a pillar or wall.
A support main body is composed of a fixing plate 10 that is fixed in contact with the fixing plate 10 and a support arm 20 that projects forward from the fixing plate 10, and a plate spring 30 is formed on the front surface of the fixing plate 10. It is something that This gutter support is made of, for example, polycarbonate resin containing about 40% glass fiber or vinyl chloride resin.
It is integrally molded from synthetic resin such as ABS resin.

The fixing plate 10 has screw holes 11 at its upper and lower ends for passing screws 200 to be driven into the fixed surface 100, and a fitting hole 12 at approximately the center.
is opened.

Incidentally, the peripheral edge portion of the fitting hole 12 is connected to the fixed surface 1.
00, the protrusion 13 protrudes forward so that a gap is provided between the protrusion 13 and the fixed surface 100.
is formed.

The support arm 20 is disposed approximately horizontally and formed in a tapered shape, and has a front protrusion 21 that protrudes upward at the front end, and a rear protrusion 21 that protrudes rearward on the lower surface of the rear end. 22 is formed.

The plate spring 30 is connected to the protrusion 1 of the fixed plate 10.
3, and is formed into a square cross section by a curved part 31 extending diagonally upward and a flat plate part 32 extending rearward from the upper end of the curved part 31.

A fitting protrusion 33 that can fit into the fitting hole 12 of the fixing plate 10 is formed at the tip of the flat plate part 32, and the upper surface of the joint between the curved part 31 and the flat plate part 32 has a horizontal surface 34. is formed.

Note that the fitting protrusion 33 and the fitting hole 1 of the fixing plate 10
2 are disposed close to each other in a non-fitting state, and the rear protrusion 22 of the support arm 20 and the horizontal surface 34 of the leaf spring 30 closest to the rear protrusion 22 are located at the rear of the eaves gutter 300. They are arranged opposite to each other with an interval narrower than the width of the side ear portions 302.

Next, the operation of the embodiment will be explained.

First, in the gutter support of this embodiment, since the fixed plate 10, the support arm 20, and the leaf spring 30 are integrally molded, the manufacturing process can be simplified, and the leaf spring The quality becomes uniform in terms of strength.

In addition, conventionally, when fixing the leaf spring to the support body, it was fixed by bolting,
It is generally known that parts are fixed by welding such as spot welding, but bolt tightening is extremely troublesome, and welding can result in welding defects due to foreign matter adhering to the welding surface. Because of this, there was a risk that the leaf spring would peel off during use.

Next, when attaching the eaves gutter 300 to the gutter support of this embodiment, first attach the front ear part 301 formed in a groove shape opening to the rear side to the front protrusion 2 of the support arm 20.
1, and then the hollow rear ear portion 302 is connected to the rear protrusion 22 of the support arm 20 and the leaf spring 3.
0 and push upwards. Here, leaf spring 3
When the fitting protrusion 33 of No. 0 and the fitting hole 12 of the fixed plate 10 are in a non-fitting state, the leaf spring 30 and the rear protrusion 22
Since the distance between the eaves gutter 300 and the rear protrusion 301 is narrower than the width of the rear ear 301, the leaf spring 30 is elastically deformed to widen the distance between the rear protrusion 22 and the rear protrusion 22. , the fitting protrusion 3 at its tip
3 fits into the fitting hole 12 of the fixed plate 10.

Note that since the fixing plate 10 is directly fixed to the surface to be fixed 100, the position of the fitting hole 12 formed in the fixing plate 10 is stable, so that it is difficult to fit with the fitting protrusion 33. will also be carried out reliably.

In the supported state in which the fitting protrusion 33 and the fitting hole 12 are fitted and the rear ear portion 302 is supported by the horizontal surface 34 of the leaf spring 30 and is prevented from falling off by the rear protrusion 22, the leaf spring 30 is not elastically deformed. The distance between the rear protrusion 22 and the leaf spring 30 is ensured to be narrower than the width of the rear ear portion 302.

Therefore, the load-bearing strength of the rear support structure is improved, so that even if a large load is applied to the leaf spring 30 due to strong winds, snow accumulation, etc., the support state of the rear ear portion 302 can be reliably maintained. That is, while ensuring the spring elasticity of the leaf spring 30, the load capacity can be significantly improved.

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 any design changes or the like that do not depart from the gist of the present invention are included in the present invention. It can be done.

Further, in the embodiment, a fitting protrusion is formed on the plate spring and a fitting hole is formed on the support body, but a fitting hole may be formed on the plate spring and a fitting protrusion may be formed on the support body. Furthermore, depending on the shape of the leaf spring, the position of the fitting part of the support body is not limited to the embodiment.

(Effect of the invention) As explained above, with the gutter support of the present invention, the ear part of the eaves gutter can be pushed between the support part of the support body and the leaf spring, and the leaf spring The fitting part and the fitting part of the support body are fitted into each other, and the gap between the support part and the leaf spring is ensured to be narrower than the width of the ear part when the ear part is supported, thereby increasing the load capacity of the support structure of the ear part. Strength can be improved. Therefore, even if a large load is applied to the leaf spring due to strong winds, snow accumulation, etc., the support state of the ear portion can be reliably maintained.
