Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) The present invention relates to the improvement of eaves gutters, and more specifically, the invention relates to the improvement of eaves gutters, and more specifically, the invention relates to the improvement of eaves gutters. It's about gutters.

(Prior Art) It is well known that eaves gutters are installed at the eaves of houses, etc., to collect rainwater flowing along the roof, and to drain it through a vertical gutter into a rainwater basin.

These eaves gutters are usually made of synthetic resin or metal and are shaped into a semicircle or square shape.

As shown in FIG. 8, for example, the eaves gutter is supported by a rigid support k and placed at the eaves R.

However, there is a problem in that the receiving fittings k of the eaves troughs t are visible from below the house, making the eaves R disorganized, and for this reason, in recent years, there has been a tendency to adopt means to make the receiving fittings k invisible. In other words, as shown in FIG. 9, there is an internal hanging type in which the front end of a hanging fitting k with a spring plate b attached to the inside of the front wall of the eaves gutter t is engaged so that the hanging fitting k is hidden from view; As shown in the figure, the eave edge R is fixed by attaching a decorative board d in front of the eaves gutter t and hiding the eave gutter t and metal fittings k1.
It is now placed in

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the above-mentioned conventional internal hanging type eaves gutter t, although the hanging fitting k is no longer visible, the ear part e which is the top of the front wall is not visible as shown in the figure. Since they are provided linearly in the length direction, their shape does not match that of roof coverings of houses, etc., and this creates a problem in that it gives a sense of discomfort to viewers.

On the other hand, using the above decorative board d, eaves gutters t and metal fittings k1
In this method, the structure is complicated because a plurality of members are used to cover it, and the top of the decorative board d is also straight in the length direction, which has the same problems as above.

Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the conventional product, the present invention is to make the top of the front wall of the eaves gutter into a different shape, to place the eaves gutter at the eaves of a house, etc., and to match the roof gutter with the eaves gutter. To provide an eaves gutter which can also be used as a fascia for houses etc. due to its configuration.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The structure of the present invention for achieving the above object will be explained using FIGS. 1 to 7 corresponding to the embodiments. The gist of this is that the front wall top portion 2 of the eaves gutter T disposed at R has the shape A over its entire length in the longitudinal direction.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the front wall top part 2 is made of decorative members 10, 10a, 10a, 10b, whose upper part is shaped into a shape A by press or injection molding using synthetic resin, metal plate, etc. 10b to the ears 3 or 3a of the eaves gutters T, T1, T2, T3, or as shown in FIGS.
It is formed by forming the front wall top portions 2, 2a of the eaves gutter T into the shape A and integrally molding them with the eaves gutter T4, T5, T6 by pressing or injection molding.

(Function) Since the eaves gutter T having the above configuration has the front wall top portion 2 having the shape A over the longitudinal direction of the eaves gutter,
The front wall top part 2 has approximately the same shape as the roof A1 of a house, etc., the existence of the eaves gutter T is ignored, and the eaves gutter itself attached to the eaves R has the shape A1 instead.
Since it can also serve as a fascia for the house, the degree of harmony with the house etc. will be improved from now on.

(Example) Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. The eaves gutter T shown in FIG. 1 has a substantially U-shape, the upper end of the rear wall 5 is bent backward to form a mounting piece 5a, and the eaves gutter body is provided with a hollow ear 3 at the upper part of the front wall 2a. 1 is formed by extrusion molding or the like, and a decorative member 10 having a hollow shape A as shown in the figure is fitted into the hollow ear portion 3 to form the front wall top portion 2. The hollow ear portion 3 is molded so as to protrude outward from the front wall 2a, and the decorative member 10 is molded as a hollow cylinder and has a shape A with an uneven upper surface. The rear lower end 10a is cut out so that the hollow ear portion 3 of the eaves gutter body 1 can be inserted therein.

Therefore, a decorative member 10 is attached to the ear part 3 of the eaves gutter body 1.
The eaves gutter T, whose front wall top part 2 is formed by fitting and fixing the
The roof cover A1 is placed through the roof.

Therefore, when the house is viewed from below after the eaves gutter 1 is installed at the eaves, the roof gutter A1 and the front wall top 2 of the eaves gutter T form a substantially identical gutter shape A, which is visually It will be harmonious without giving any sense of discomfort.

Figure 2 shows a metal fitting 6 attached to a fascia 4a of a house.
shows a square eaves gutter T1 suspended internally,
The hollow ear part 3 of the front wall 2a of this eaves gutter T1 is the front wall 2a
A straw-shaped decorative member 10a having a wider head than the decorative member 10 in FIG. 1 is fitted onto the ear portion 3 with an adhesive or the like. It is becoming more and more common.

The eaves gutter T1 having the front wall top portion 2 is installed by attaching a metal fitting 6 to a locking portion 2b provided inside the front wall 2a.
It is fixed by engaging the tip of the metal fitting 6.
is not visible from below, and the front wall top part 2 of the eaves gutter T and the roof cover A1 are in harmony.

FIG. 3 shows that the main body 1 has a rectangular shape, after which the lower part 5b of the wall is expanded toward the building, and the upper end 5a of the rear wall 5 is fixed to the rafter 4 of the eaves R with nails, etc. An eaves gutter T2 is shown that is fixed to the front end of the eave ceiling 8 on the back side of the lower part 5b of the extended rear wall, and this eave gutter T2 also has a hollow ear portion 3 formed to protrude outward from the front wall 2a. A decorative member 10a similar to that described above is fitted through an adhesive or the like so as to harmonize with the roof cover A1.
Since this eaves gutter T2 is integrated with the eave ceiling 8, it gives the impression of being part of a structural material together with the shape of the front wall top 2 of the eaves gutter T2.

FIG. 4 shows a modified example of the hollow lug 3 of the front wall 2a of the eaves troughs T, T1, and T2.As shown in the figure, a square ear with a hollow 3b is placed on the front wall 2a of the eave gutter T3. 3a are integrally connected at the center of the lower surface thereof. Unlike the ear portions 3 shown in the first to third embodiments, the ear portion 3a having such a structure projects outward and inward from the front wall 2a, so that the portion to be fitted is two. It is designed so that it can be firmly fitted in place.

Therefore, for the ear portion 3a having this shape, a decorative member 10b having a cross-sectional shape with a shape A instead of the upper part as shown in the figure and a narrow fitting opening 10c at the tip is attached to the fitting opening 10c. By using the elasticity of 10c to push it in, it becomes possible to firmly fit it without using any adhesive or the like.

Next, the eaves gutter T4 shown in FIG.
This figure shows a configuration in which the front wall top portion 2 and the front wall top portion 2 are integrally molded. In other words, the eaves gutter body 1 is approximately U.
The upper end of the rear wall 5 is bent outward to form a hollow ear 30a on the side of the rear wall 5, and the upper part of the front wall 2a is shaped like A as shown in the figure.
A hollow ear part 30 is made to protrude outward from the front wall 2a, and a downwardly open locking part 2b is integrally molded inwardly. Since the top part is molded integrally with the eaves gutter T4, the decorative members 10, 10a, 10 are separate pieces as in the first to fourth embodiments.
b is each ear part 3, 3a of eaves gutter T, T1, T2, T3
Operations such as fitting it into the can be omitted. By locking the tip of the metal fitting 6 in the locking portion 2b of the eaves gutter T4, the metal fitting 6 is also hidden from view from below.

FIG. 6 shows another usage of an eaves gutter T5 in which the front wall top portion 2 is shaped like A and is integrally molded with the main body 1. That is, as shown in the figure, the main body is square, the mounting piece 5a at the upper end of the rear wall 5 is fixed to the rafter 4 with nails, etc., and the lower part 5b of the rear wall is bulged toward the fascia 4a of the house. , the bulging part is attached to the fascia 4a, and the front wall top part 2 on the ear part 3 is made into the shape A to constitute the eaves gutter T5, and the roof cover A1 and the front wall top part of this eaves gutter are It is a harmonization of 2. Since this eaves gutter T5 is fixed to the rafters 4 and the fascia 4a and is integral, the eaves gutter T5, together with the straw shape A of the front wall top part 2, can become as if it were a part of the structural material.

On the other hand, when the front wall top part 2 of the eave gutter T is formed into a shape A and is integrally molded with the main body 1, for example, as shown in FIG. It is also possible to mold by cutting out the hollow part 3b of the part or 3a,
In this case, since there is no hollow part as shown in the figure, the unevenness and shape of shape A can be made complicated,
Alternatively, it has the advantage of being thicker and having a shape that more closely resembles that of Kawara.

Each aspect of the eaves gutter of the present invention shown in the above embodiments can be appropriately selected according to various needs, such as the conditions of the installation site, the style of the building, and the coloring to match the color tone of the roof straw. Both are preferably employed.

(Effects of the invention) As described above, since the eaves gutter of the present invention has the front wall top part 2 in a round shape, when it is installed at the eaves of a house, etc. This harmonizes with the top of the roof and eliminates the sense of incongruity between the conventional eaves gutters and roof coverings.

Therefore, the eaves gutter having the above-mentioned odd-shaped front wall becomes an appearance that naturally blends in with the eaves of a house, etc., and becomes an invisible presence under the visual eye.
