Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a water collector for guiding rainwater from a horizontal overhang formed on a house to a vertical gutter.

[Conventional technology]

For certain types of eave ceilings installed at entrances, it may not be desirable to install eaves gutters along the exterior from aesthetic points of view, and in such cases, rainwater that falls on the eave ceiling On top of that, the collected rainwater is collected in one or several places and guided to a vertical gutter, or is allowed to fall through a so-called chain gutter.

Conventional water collectors used to guide rainwater from the eave ceiling to vertical gutters have a flange integrated into the upper opening that receives rainwater, and this flange can be attached to mounting screws, nails, etc. It was constructed by fixing it to the underside of the eaves using fasteners.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

When constructing a water collector, make sure that the upper end opening of the water collector is not significantly misaligned with respect to the rainwater inlet hole formed in the eave ceiling, and then place the above-mentioned flange on the underside of the eave ceiling. It is required to be fixed to However, with conventional water collectors, during the process of fixing the brim to the underside of the eave ceiling with a fastener, the inflow hole is covered by the water collector and becomes difficult to see. There is a problem in that it is not easy to judge whether or not the upper end opening of the container is misaligned, and if so, to what extent, and to correct it. It was hot. In addition, if it becomes necessary to replace the water collector for some reason (for example, damage) after construction, there is the problem that you are forced to perform cumbersome work such as removing, tightening, and nailing the fasteners. Ta. Furthermore, when fixing the water collector to the eave ceiling using screws or the like, there was a problem in that the side wall of the water collector became stiff and was heavy, making the fixing work difficult.

This idea was created in view of the above problems.
The water collector is divided into a mounting member that is fixed to the lower surface of a horizontal overhang such as the eave ceiling, and a main body that is connected to the vertical gutter, and the mounting member is attached to the appropriate location for the inflow hole of the horizontal overhang. The main body can be securely and easily fixed, and the main body can be attached and detached with one touch to the mounting member, and even though it is a one-touch detachable type, the main body can be firmly attached to the mounting member. The purpose is to provide a water catchment that is retained.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the water collector of the present invention has a mounting member fixed to the lower surface of a horizontal overhang such as a soffit, and a main body equipped with a connection port for a vertical gutter, The mounting member includes an engaging portion extending over the entire length of a pair of parallel sides provided on both sides sandwiching the water hole of a plate-shaped portion having a water hole through which rainwater passes;
The main body has an engaged part on the outer periphery of the upper opening that receives rainwater, which is the counterpart of the engaging part of the mounting member, and one of the engaged part and the engaged part is groove-shaped or shaped. It is configured in a hook shape, and the other side is configured in a flange shape that slides into and out of the groove or hook shape, and the interval between the groove or hook shapes corresponds to the thickness of the flange. It is characterized by

[Effect]

According to such a water collector, when fixing the mounting member to the horizontal overhang, it is possible to perform the fixing work while looking at both the water passage hole in the plate-shaped part and the rainwater inflow hole in the horizontal overhang. Become. The fixing work can be done extremely easily since the mounting member is plate-shaped and light. Once fixed, the engagement part and the engaged part do not easily come apart due to the frictional force between them. In addition, for example, if the engaging part of the mounting member is configured in a hook shape and the engaged part of the square body is configured in a collar shape, the hook-shaped engagement part of the mounting member fixed to the lower surface of the horizontal projecting part may be When the collar-shaped engaged portion of the main body is slid and fitted from the side into the joint, the main body is attached to the horizontal extension portion via the attachment member. At this time, the collar-shaped engaged portion of the main body is held in a suspended manner by the hook-shaped engaging portion of the mounting member. When the collar-shaped engaged portion of the main body is slid and pulled out from the hook-shaped engaging portion of the mounting member, the main body is removed from the horizontal extension portion. A similar effect is exerted when the engaging part of the mounting member is groove-shaped, or when the engaging part of the mounting member is flange-shaped and the engaged part of the square body is hook-shaped or groove-shaped. .

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the water collector of the present invention, where 1 is a mounting member and 2 is a main body, both of which are integrally molded from resin.

The mounting member 1 has a water passage hole 12 in the center of a polygonal (regular hexagonal plate part 11 in the illustrated example) plate part 11, and a water passage hole 12 on both sides of the water passage hole 12 along the entire length of one side of the plate part 11. A pair of parallel engaging portions 13, 13 having the same length are provided separately, and a rib 16 along the edge of the plate-like portion 11 is provided on one side between these engaging portions 13, 13. . The engaging portion 13 is formed by a falling portion 14 perpendicular to the plate-like portion 11 and a supporting portion 15 protruding inward from the lower edge of the falling portion 14.
It is configured in a hook shape such as a letter shape or an inverted L shape, and the overall shape including the plate portion 11, the rib 16, and the engaging portions 13, 13 is substantially planar. Furthermore, fastener insertion holes 17 are formed at a plurality of locations in the plate-like portion 11 .

The main body 2 has a vertical gutter connection port 22 at the lower end of the cylindrical portion 21, and a collar-shaped engaged portion 23 having a regular hexagonal outline at the upper end opening. This engaged portion 23 is the counterpart of the engaging portions 13, 13 of the mounting member 1, and the distance between the pair of parallel side portions 24, 24 on opposite sides is the same as that of the pair of parallel sides 24, 24 of the mounting member 1. The distance between the engaging portions 13, 13 corresponds to the distance between them, and the distance between the supporting portions 15, 15 of the engaging portions 13, 13 and the plate portion 11 corresponds to the thickness of the engaged portion 23. There is.

FIG. 2 shows a water collector A attached to the eave 100 of an entrance, which is an example of a horizontal overhang, and the water collector A connects rainwater to the inflow hole 101 of the eave 100 and the vertical gutter 102. An example of communication is shown. Note that a groove 103 is formed on the upper surface of the eave ceiling 100 along its outer line, and rainwater flows through this groove 103.
03 into the inflow hole 101, and then
The water is guided to the vertical gutter 100 by the water collector A.

As shown in FIG. 3, the mounting member 1 is attached to the soffit 100 of the entrance by screwing the mounting screws 18 inserted into the fastener insertion holes 17 into the soffit 100 of the entrance.
It is fixed to the bottom surface of 0. When fixing the mounting member 1 to the soffit 100, the operator can align the two while looking at both the rainwater inflow hole 101 of the soffit 100 and the water passage hole 12 of the mounting member 1. As a result, the mounting member 1 can be quickly and reliably mounted at an appropriate location on the soffit 100. Further, since the mounting member 1 has a planar shape, the work of screwing in the mounting screw 17 can be easily and easily performed since there is nothing on the lower surface to prevent it.

The main body 2 connects the parallel sides 24, 24 of the arbitrarily selected engaged part 23 to the parallel engaging part 1 of the mounting member 1.
3 and 13, it is attached to the eave ceiling 100. With the main body 2 attached in this way, the side portions 24,
24 is held in a suspended state in a state where it is sandwiched between the supporting parts 15, 15 of the engaging parts 13, 13 and the plate-like part 11 without wobbling. Therefore, by increasing the width of the supporting parts 15, 15 and the engaged part 23, the reliability of the engaged state can be easily increased. Further, the engaged portion 23 is the engaging portion 13,
13 prevents displacement in the lateral direction, and the engaged portion 23 is positioned against the rib 16 of the mounting member 1, as shown in FIG. As shown in Fig. 2, the vertical gutter 1 is connected to the vertical gutter connection port 22 of the main body 2.
02 is fitted, and this vertical gutter 102 is firmly supported by a wall surface 105 by a gutter receiving metal fitting 104. Therefore, the main body 2 has the above-mentioned engaging parts 13,1
3. The rib 16 and the vertical gutter 102 ensure that the position is securely positioned, and even if the engaged portion 23 is simply slid and fitted into the engaging portion 13, the position will not easily shift. do not have. When replacing the main body 2 for some reason, first remove the vertical gutter 102 from the vertical gutter connection port 22 of the main body 2, slide the engaged part 23 and remove it from the engaging part 13, and then New Masu body 2
Attach as above.

In addition, the mounting screw 1 for fixing the mounting member 1
8, it is preferable to use a screw whose head completely fits into the stopper insertion hole 17 and does not protrude from the plate-like part 11, such as a countersunk screw.By doing so, the engaged part 23 of the main body 2 can be The sliding operation when fitting and removing the attachment member 1 into and out of the engagement portion 13 can be performed smoothly. Mounting screw 18
Fasteners such as nails may be used instead.

In this embodiment, the rib 16 serves as a stopper to prevent the engaged portion 23 of the main body 2 from being overfitted into the engaging portion 13 of the mounting member 1. Such a function is achieved by providing a protrusion 19 on the engaging part 13 of the mounting member 1, as shown in FIG. Even if the protrusion is formed at a certain location, or vice versa, the protrusion is provided on the engaged part side,
This can also be achieved by providing an engagement hole on the engagement portion side.
In this way, the main body 2 can be slid and fitted into the mounting member 1 from both sides.
However, in the case of the rib 16 in the illustrated example, the mounting member 1 is positioned so that the rib 16 is located on the outside (front).
By fixing it to the soffit 100, when the main body 2 is held by the mounting member 1, the plate-like part 1
1 and the engaging portion 13 is covered by the rib 16 and becomes invisible, which has the advantage of improving the appearance. Note that a support portion protruding inward from the rib 16 may be provided to have the same shape as the engaging portion 13.

In the embodiments described above, the hook-shaped engaging portion is provided on the mounting member, but this engaging portion may be provided on the main body of the square, or the shape of the engaging portion may be in the form of a groove. When providing an engaging portion or an engaged portion on a mounting member, the location is not limited to the edge of the plate-like portion, but it is advantageous to provide it on the edge when molding the mounting member with resin. The shape of the mounting member is not limited to the illustrated example,
For example, it may be oval in plan view or may have another shape. The shape of the engaged part can be arbitrary as long as it is slidable and removable from the engaging part, but if it is made into a regular polygon as shown in the example shown, the orientation when fitting into the engaging part will be easier. has the advantage of not being regulated.

[Effect of idea]

According to the present invention, the mounting member can be easily attached to the lower surface of the horizontal overhang while looking at both the rainwater inflow hole of the horizontal overhang and the water passage hole of the mounting member without causing any positional shift. Since the main body is held by the mounting member by fitting its engaged portion into the engaging portion of the mounting member, an unacceptably large positional deviation between the upper end opening of the main body and the inflow hole may occur. There isn't. In addition, since the entire mounting member is almost planar and light, the work of fixing the mounting member to the horizontal overhang is much easier than the work of fixing a conventional three-dimensional water collector. Since the main body is slideable and removable, construction and replacement of the water collector can be done more quickly, easily, and reliably than in the past.

Nevertheless, the engaging portion and the engaged portion are held together by frictional force and will not separate due to wind or the like.

In particular, the present invention adopts a sliding type for attaching and detaching the square main body to and from the mounting member, and furthermore, either the engaging part of the mounting member or the engaged part of the square main body is formed into a groove or hook shape, and the other is a flange. Because of the shape, it is possible to easily widen the engagement width between the engaging portion and the engaged portion, which has the advantage of ensuring a reliable engaged state.
