Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a hard gutter mounting bracket, and particularly to a hard gutter mounting bracket made of a thin metal strip having spring properties such as stainless steel thin metal band.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, hard gutter mounting brackets have generally been made by connecting two pieces of semi-circular bands made of soft iron with a hinge, but construction such as fastening with wire is complicated. Not only that, but they also had drawbacks such as easy rusting and poor aesthetics.

Therefore, recently, a locking piece and a locked piece that lock each other are formed at both ends of a downpipe grip ring using a thin metal strip having spring properties as seen in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 62-118827. This led to the use of hard gutter mounting brackets.

[The problem that the idea attempts to solve]

However, with this type of gutter mounting bracket, the locking piece formed at the other end must be directly inserted into the opening of the locking piece formed at one end, making the insertion work complicated. Moreover, since the locking piece protrudes outwardly above the locked piece after construction, there is a problem that the locking piece comes off due to contact.

The present invention was devised to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional products, and it simplifies the work of locking the locking piece to the piece to be locked, and also eliminates the risk of the downpipe coming off after construction. The purpose is to provide hard gutter mounting brackets that do not require the use of gutter mounting hardware.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention was devised in view of the above, and includes a U-shaped notch formed near one end of a downpipe gripping ring made of a thin strip of metal having spring properties, and surrounded by the notch. A narrow locking piece having a locking protrusion at the tip by cutting and raising the portion diagonally upward and bending the distal end thereof diagonally downward toward the proximal end side, and a peripheral portion of the notch. a guide piece consisting of a guide piece, and a bulge portion of a predetermined length is formed at the other end of the gutter gripping ring by bending the vicinity of the other end of the gutter gripping ring outward; A locking port to be locked to the locking protrusion is provided approximately at the center of the bulge, and the locking protrusion is locked to the locking port while sliding the bulge on the guide piece. This is a hard gutter mounting bracket designed like this.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described in detail below. Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the gutter mounting bracket of the present invention, and in the figure, 1 is a metal plate such as a thin stainless steel strip. This is a downpipe gripping ring made of a thin strip of metal having spring properties, and 2 is a locking piece formed at one end of the downpipe gripping ring 1. It is formed by forming a letter-shaped notch and cutting and raising the part surrounded by the notch diagonally upward. 4 is a guide piece formed at the peripheral edge of the notch, and 5 is a guide piece formed by bending the gutter grip ring 1 toward the outside. 6 is a locking opening opened approximately at the center of the bulging portion 5, which is used for locking the locking protrusion 3. It is.

In addition, in the figure, 7 is a protruding piece formed by curving the proximal end side of the bulging part 5 outward in a semicircular shape, and is used to press the other end of the gutter grip ring 1 and It is formed in order to provide good locking properties such as providing expansion and contraction absorption to the downpipe gripping ring 1,
Reference numeral 8 indicates a fixture attached to the gutter grip ring A, and 9 indicates the gutter.

[Effect of idea]

Since the gutter mounting bracket of the present invention has the above-mentioned configuration, when in use, the bulging part is slid along the guide piece as shown in Fig. 2, and the bulging part is bulged out using the spring properties of the locking piece. The locking protrusion is locked to the locking port while sliding the outer surface of the part, and the locking work is improved compared to conventional products. Since it is locked at a lower position, it does not come off due to contact, and furthermore, because of its simple structure, it can be easily molded and provided at a low cost.
