[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Field of Application] This invention relates to an eaves gutter hanging fitting, and particularly relates to an eaves gutter hanging fitting that does not easily come off from the eaves gutter.

[Conventional technology]

In eaves gutter hanging fittings, it is conventionally known to provide a spring member that presses the eaves gutter at the outdoor locking part of the eave support member so that the eaves gutter does not come off even if it is blown by strong winds (for example, as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. See Publication No. 63-247462.

[Problem that the invention aims to solve]

However, in the conventional case, the structure of the spring member is complicated in order to reliably prevent the eave gutter from coming off, and the structure of the gutter support member has to be made special in order to attach the spring member. For this reason, there was a problem that production efficiency decreased and costs increased.

Therefore, an object of this invention is to provide an eaves gutter hanging fitting that allows a spring member to be attached without changing the basic structure of the eaves support member.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above object, this invention has two side edges 4, 4' of the eaves gutter 3 attached to the indoor end and outdoor end of the gutter support member 2 frozen to the mounting bracket 1, respectively.
In the eaves gutter hanging metal fitting, which is provided with respective locking parts 5, 5', and a spring member 8 that presses the upper surface of the outdoor side edge 4 of the eaves gutter 3 at the outdoor end of the gutter support member 2,
A base portion 9 having a downwardly U-shaped cross section to which the spring member 8 is fitted and fixed to the outdoor end of the gutter support member 2, and a leaf spring portion 1 integrally provided at one end of the base portion 9.
The other end of the base portion 9 is fixed to the gutter support member 2, and a horizontal guide portion 9a is provided between the fixed portion and the spring portion 10, and one end of the leaf spring portion 10 is fixed to the gutter support member 2. The guide part 9a is raised up from the guide part 9a and bent into an inverted U shape, and the other end is bent at a right angle toward the base part 9 at a position lower than the rising part of the one end, and the tip of the bent part 11 is bent into the guide part 9a. The structure is such that the gutter is inserted into the bottom surface with enough room to move in the width direction of the gutter.

[Effect]

The spring member 8 described above is fixed by fitting its base 9 to the gutter support member 2. Outdoor side edge 4 of eaves gutter 3
In order to attach it to the locking part 5 on the outdoor side, the leaf spring part 10 of the spring member 8 is pushed into the indoor side by the ear edge 4 and is bent. At this time, the bent portion 11 of the leaf spring portion 10 is
It is pushed inside while being guided by the guide portion 9a. When the ear edge 4 is fitted into the locking portion 5, the leaf spring portion 10 is restored and its bent portion 11 returns onto the ear edge 4.

〔Example〕

1 to 3 show a first embodiment of the eaves gutter hanging fitting, in which a gutter support member 2 made of a band is fixed to one end of a mounting fitting 1. The indoor end of the gutter support member 2 is bent downward to form an inward U-shaped locking portion 5'. Further, a presser spring 15 with its tip facing the locking portion 5' is fixed to the lower surface of the gutter support member 2.

The outdoor end is bent downward to form an upward U-shaped locking portion 5.

The spring member 8 includes a base 9 having a downward U-shaped cross section, and a leaf spring 10 integrally formed at one end of the base 9. The base portion 9 is fitted into the flat portion of the gutter support member 2 at the tip of the locking portion 5 and welded by spot welding. Reference numeral 16 in FIG. 2 is a welding mark. Further, the portion from the welded portion to the leaf spring portion 10 is a horizontal guide portion 9a. One end of the leaf spring section 10 rises from the indoor end of the base 9, is bent into an inverted U shape at the center, and the other end is bent inward at a right angle at a position slightly lower than the rising section of the one end. Ru. The tip of the bent portion 11 faces below the guide portion 9a. A distance 1 exists between the tip of the bent portion 11 and the base of the locking portion 5 in front of the tip, and the bent portion 11 can move freely within this distance 1.

Further, a gap d exists between the tip of the locking part 5 and the lower surface of the bent part 11. This gap d is the eaves gutter 3
It is formed in a size that can receive the horizontal part of the inverted L-shaped ear edge 4 without a gap.

Further, the indoor side edge 4' is hollow and has a substantially rectangular cross section, and is formed at the upper end of the indoor side wall 17' so as to protrude outward.

The first embodiment has the above-mentioned configuration, and on the indoor side, the retaining spring 15 is pushed up by the ear edge 4' of the eaves gutter 3 and held at the locking portion 5'.
and press the tip of the presser spring 15 against the inside of the ear edge 4'.

In addition, on the outdoor side, the ear edge 4 of the side wall 17 is pressed against the outer surface of the leaf spring part 10 (see FIG. 3),
Push this inward. As a result, the leaf spring portion 10
When a required gap is created between the holder and the tip of the locking piece 5, the ear edge 4 falls into the gap and is locked to the tip of the locking piece 5.

When the ear edge 4 engages with the locking piece 5, the plate spring portion 10
Since the presser foot is removed, the leaf spring portion 10 returns to its original state due to its own elasticity. As a result, the bent portion 1
1 returns to the upper surface of the ear edge 4 (see Figure 1). Therefore, even if an upward force is applied to the edge 4, the force is received by the spring member 8.

Next, the second embodiment shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is as follows.
An upwardly bent locking part 5 is formed at the outdoor end of the gutter support member 2, and the indoor part is the same as that described above.

The base portion 9 of the spring member 8 is formed in a downward U-shape in cross section, and is bent in two steps at two upper and lower locations, with the intermediate portion rising obliquely outward from the lower end portion. The base 9 is fitted into the gutter support member 2 at its lower end and welded by spot welding. Further, the spring member 8 is bent into an inverted U-shape as described above, and the bent portion 11 at the lower end faces the lower surface of the guide portion 9a at the upper end of the base 9. There is room for movement.

In this case, the outdoor side edge 4 of the eaves gutter 3 is formed into an inverted L shape as described above. Therefore, the edge 4 is pushed in by bending the leaf spring portion 10 inward in the same manner as shown in FIG. 3, and is restored after fitting to become as shown in FIG. 4. In this case as well, when an upward force is applied to the eaves gutter 3, the force is received by the spring member 8.

[Effect of idea]

As described above, in this invention, the spring member 8 that presses the outdoor edge 4 is constituted by the base 9 fixed to the outdoor end of the gutter support member 2 and the leaf spring part 10. 9 is formed into a U-shaped cross section to fit into the gutter support member 2, and one end of the plate spring portion 10 is connected to the base 9.
The other end is bent at a right angle toward the base 9 at a position lower than the rising part of the one end, and the bent part 11
Since the guide part 9a of the base part 9 is freely exposed to the lower surface of the guide part 9a, the leaf spring part 10 is bent inward and the edge 4 of the eaves gutter is pushed in, and the edge 4 of the eaves trough is pushed into the locking part. 5, the leaf spring portion 10 returns onto the edge 4 by its own elasticity.

For this reason, even if an upward force acts on the gutter eaves 3 due to a strong wind or the like, the force is received by the spring member 8, so there is no risk of the eaves gutter 3 coming off. Also, by dividing the spring member 8 into a base 9 and a leaf spring portion 10 and forming the base 9 into a U-shaped cross section, the spring member 8 can be attached simply by fixing the base 9 to the gutter support member 2, and there is no need to provide a special structure for the gutter support member 3.

Furthermore, since the base portion 9 has a U-shaped cross section, by fitting it into the gutter support member 2, the posture of the spring member 8 is accurately maintained, and the upward force acting on the leaf spring portion 10 is reduced. It can be made strong enough to support. Further, the guide portion 9a provided on the base portion 9 has the effect of guiding the forward and backward movement of the bent portion 11 of the leaf spring portion 10 and maintaining its posture correctly.
