Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a vertical gutter connector used when connecting a vertical gutter to an eaves gutter.

[Conventional technology]

As is well known, when connecting a vertical gutter to an eaves gutter, such as a square gutter, a vertical gutter connecting tool, commonly known as a corner gutter drop, is attached to the appropriate place on the gutter, and an elbow, etc. The vertical gutter is connected through the parts.

FIG. 7 shows a state in which a conventional vertical gutter connector A is attached to a square gutter 100. As is clear from this figure, the conventional vertical gutter connector A includes an insert member 10 having an annular flange 12 at the upper end of a cylindrical part 11, and an annular flange 22 at the upper end of the cylindrical part 21. The receiving member 20 is connected to the receiving member 20. Such a vertical gutter connector A is constructed by fitting the cylindrical portion 11 of the insert member 10 into the hole 120 made in the bottom wall 110 of the square gutter 100 from inside the square gutter 100, and inserting the tube part 11 of the insert member 10 downward from the bottom wall 110 of the square gutter 100. The cylindrical portion 21 of the receiving member 20 is externally fitted onto the cylindrical portion 11 protruding from below the square gutter, and the bottom wall 110 is sandwiched between the flange 22 of the receiving member 20 and the flange 12 of the insertion member 10. By finding square gutter 1
Attached to 00. Note that 30 indicates a dome-shaped screen for removing dust, and 200 indicates an elbow.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

The conventional vertical gutter connector A has an annular flange 12 on the insertion member 10, so the insertion member 1
The hole 120 into which the cylindrical portion 11 of No. 0 is fitted is inserted into the bottom wall 1.
It was necessary to open the hole 120 in the center of the hole 120, and to secure space on both sides of the hole 120 to accommodate the flange 12. Therefore, conventionally, a gap L is formed between the cylindrical portion 11 of the insert member 10 serving as a drainage passage and the rear wall 130 of the square gutter.
0 is small and the bottom wall 110 is narrow, the flange 1
2 does not fit into the gap L, and the insertion member 10 is inserted into the hole 12.
I couldn't fit it into 0. In order to solve this problem, it may be possible to make the flange 12 smaller, but this poses problems in drainage capacity and clamping strength to the square gutter, making it impossible to make the flange 12 smaller. It is also considered that the bottom wall 110 of the square gutter 100 is sloped backward, as shown by the imaginary line A in FIG. There is a problem in that rainwater that is not drained through the section 11 accumulates in the corner between the bottom wall 110 and the rear wall 130 of the square gutter 100.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems by connecting the internal passage of the cylindrical part of the insert member to the corner part of the square gutter. To provide a vertical gutter connector which can be fitted into a square gutter and does not cause water pooling inside the gutter even when the bottom wall of the gutter has a downward slope.

[Means for solving problems]

The measures taken to achieve the above object are that at least a part of the circumferential direction of the cylindrical part and the flange of the insert member is removed, and a straight line is installed in the missing part of the flange. The ribs are integrally spanned, and the flange of the receiving member is partially removed in the circumferential direction, and a plate-shaped rising portion facing the rib is integrally provided at the removed portion. It is that you are.

[Effect]

According to the vertical gutter connector configured as described above, it is only necessary to secure a space for the flange on one side of the hole formed in the bottom wall or rear wall of the square gutter. Therefore, even if the bottom wall of the square gutter is smaller by the flange on one side, vertical gutter connectors having the same drainage capacity can be firmly connected. In addition, the hole can be formed in contact with the corner between the bottom wall and the rear wall of the square gutter, so that the cylindrical part of the insert inserted into the hole can directly contact the corner. It communicates and prevents water from pooling inside the square gutter. In addition, the ribs that span between the missing parts of the flanges provided on the insertion member reinforce the insertion member itself and ensure that the cylindrical portion of the receiving member is externally fitted to the cylindrical portion of the insertion member. In addition to being useful, it also works with the rising part of the receiving member to clamp the back wall or bottom wall of the square gutter.
It is also useful for securely attaching vertical gutter connectors to square gutter.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a vertical gutter connector according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, 1 indicates an insertion member and 6 indicates a receiving member. The insert member 1 includes a cylindrical portion 2 and a flange 3, both of which have a portion cut out in their circumferential direction.
A rib 4 is immediately spanned over the missing part of the flange 3. Further, the cylindrical portion 2 is formed with a slit-shaped groove 5 that reaches its lower edge. The receiving member 6 includes a cylindrical portion 7 and a flange 8, and the flange 8 has a portion cut out in the circumferential direction, and is provided with a plate-shaped rising portion 9 at the removed portion. Also,
The portion between the cylindrical portion 7 and the base end of the rising portion 9 that is not surrounded by the flange 8 is closed by the upper wall portion 7a. As shown in FIG. 2, by externally fitting the cylindrical portion 7 of the receiving member 6 to the cylindrical portion 2 of the insertion member 1, the rising portions 9 of the ribs 4 can be made to face each other. ing.

FIG. 3 shows the state of use. As is clear from the figure, the cylindrical portion 2 of the insert member 1 is fitted into a hole 120 formed in the bottom wall 110 of the square gutter 100, but the hole 120 is located at the bottom wall 110. It includes a corner portion between it and the rear wall 130. In addition, the flange 3 of the insertion member 1 has a hole 12
The rib 4 is overlapped on the upper side of the bottom wall 110 around the 0, while the rib 4 is butted against the lower end of the rear wall 130. On the other hand, the cylindrical portion 7 of the receiving member 6 is connected to the cylindrical portion 2 of the insert member 1 protruding from the hole 120.
externally mated. Further, the flange 8 of the insert member 1 is superimposed on the lower side of the bottom wall 110, and the bottom wall 110 is held between this flange 8 and the flange 3 of the insert member 1. Further, the rising portion 9 of the insertion member 1 is in contact with the rear wall 130, and the rising portion 9 and the rib 4 are connected to the rear wall 130.
30 is being held. The bottom wall 110 and the flanges 3 and 8, the rear wall 130 and the rib 4 and the rising portion 9, and the cylindrical portions 2 and 7 are bonded to each other with an adhesive.

According to the above, the bottom wall 110 in the square gutter 100
and the rear wall 130 are directly connected to the cylindrical portion 2 of the insert member 1, and the cylindrical portion 2 is connected to the receiving member 6.
Since it is connected to a vertical gutter (not shown) through the cylindrical portion 7 and elbow 200, it is effective even when the water volume is low or when the bottom wall 110 has a downward slope. Drainage is carried out, and no water pools are formed in the corner portions. Also, square gutter 1
Since the bottom wall 110 of 00 is held between the flanges 3 and 8, and the rear wall 130 is held between the rib 4 and the rising portion 9, the vertical gutter connector is firmly and stably installed. Furthermore, since a part of the flange 3 of the insert member 1 is removed and the rib 4 is in contact with the rear wall 130 of the square gutter 100, even if the gutter has a bottom wall that is smaller by the width of the flange on one side. Can be installed securely.

By the way, when the hole 120 is opened at a location including the corner portion as described above, a curved portion 130a having an arcuate cross section over a predetermined width remains at the lower end of the rear wall 130, as shown in FIG. . On the other hand, the flange 3 of the insert member 1 needs to overlap the horizontal bottom wall 110. Therefore the flange 3 and the rear wall 13
A gap is created between 0 and 0. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the rib 4 may be provided so as to protrude slightly on the opposite side of the flange 3, so that the rib 4 is brought into close contact with the rear wall 130, or the rib 4 may be made relatively wide as shown in FIG. By making the rib 4 have a curved structure and making it tightly contact with the entire curved portion 130a, it becomes possible to sandwich the rear wall 130 between the rib 4 and the rising portion 9, thereby making it possible to hold the rear wall 130 between the insert member 1 and the vertical gutter connector. The mounting condition becomes more stable. Further, since the split groove 5 is formed in the cylindrical portion 2 of the insertion member 1, the diameter of the cylindrical portion 2 can be easily reduced, and therefore the cylindrical portion 7 of the receiving member 6 can be easily fitted into the cylindrical portion 2 with a small force. . Nevertheless, when the cylindrical part 7 is externally fitted to the cylindrical part 2, the cylindrical part 2 tries to expand to its original diameter, so the cylindrical parts 2 and 7 fit together tightly, preventing them from being misaligned with each other. It becomes a condition that is difficult to occur. Therefore, when joining both cylindrical parts 2 and 7 with adhesive, it is no longer necessary to hold the cylindrical parts 2 and 7 by hand until the adhesive hardens to prevent positional displacement. There are advantages.

In FIGS. 1 and 3, both the cylindrical portion 2 and the flange 3 of the insert member 1 are removed in the circumferential direction, but the invention is not limited to this, and only a portion of the flange in the circumferential direction is removed. You can also remove it. The planar shape of the receiving member 6 corresponding to such an insertion member is
An example is shown in the figure. In this figure, parts corresponding to those explained in FIG. 1 are given the same reference numerals. As can be inferred from the figure, if only the flange of the insert member is removed, the receiving member 6 will not protrude to the rear of the square gutter when it is attached to the gutter. However, when comparing the drainage capacity of the vertical gutter connector explained in Figures 1 and 3 with the vertical gutter connector using the receiving member 6 shown in Figure 6 when the water volume is small, the former is superior. . This is because when comparing the opening width of the insertion member, that is, the opening width of the droplet at the corner portion of the square gutter, the former is wider than the latter.

FIG. 5 shows a hole 140 in the rear wall 130 of the square gutter 100.
An example is shown in which a hole 140 is opened and the vertical gutter connector described in FIG. 1 is attached to this hole 140. That is,
An opening 140 is opened in the rear wall 140 including a corner portion between the rear wall 130 and the bottom wall 110, and the cylindrical portion of the receiving member 6 is inserted into the cylindrical portion 2 of the insertion member 1 fitted into the opening 140. 7 are externally fitted, and the rear wall 130 is held around the hole 140 by the flange 3 of the insertion member 1 and the flange 8 of the receiving member 6, and the bottom is further held by the rib 4 and the rising part 9. A wall 110 is clamped. according to this,
Not only can the same effects as those described above be achieved, but the connecting part between the vertical gutter connector and the elbow 200 is covered by the square gutter 100 and is no longer visible.
It also has the effect of looking better.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, according to the vertical gutter connector of the present invention, it is only necessary to secure space for the flange on one side of the hole formed in the bottom wall or rear wall of the square gutter, so that the hole is It can also be formed at the corner part between the bottom wall and the side wall of the square gutter, so that the cylindrical part of the insert fitted into the hole is directly connected to the corner part, and the rainwater inside the square gutter is drained. Effectively guided by the vertical gutter. Therefore, there is an advantage that water does not accumulate inside the square gutter, regardless of the height of the water volume or whether or not the bottom wall of the square gutter is sloped backwards. Furthermore, even if the square gutter is small and its bottom wall and side wall are narrow, it can be connected and sufficient drainage capacity can be maintained. In addition, in the vertical gutter connector of the present invention, since the rib spans the missing part of the flange in the insert member, there is also the advantage that the insert member and the entire vertical gutter connector are reinforced. Furthermore, when it is attached to the square gutter, the rear wall or bottom wall of the square gutter is held between the ribs and the rising portion of the receiving member, so there is an advantage that the attached state is strong and stable.
