Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a vertical gutter connecting device for connecting vertical gutters to each other, and more particularly, to a vertical gutter in which an axial engaging projection is projected on an inner surface by bending a side wall. Regarding what to connect.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as described in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 3-9434 and Japanese Patent Registration No. 782325, bending of a side wall causes an axial engaging projection to project on the inner surface. As a gutter connector for connecting the installed gutter, it has an outlet that fits with the inner surface of the end of the gutter at one end, and the side surface of this outlet is projected on the inner surface of the gutter. There is known a downspout connector having a groove that fits with the engaging projection.

In such a conventional vertical gutter connecting device,
The concave groove provided on the side surface of the spigot is provided up to the opening end of the spigot.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional vertical gutter connector, since the concave groove provided on the side surface of the spout is provided up to the opening end of the spout, the vertical gutter is provided inside the vertical gutter. When inserting and connecting the spigot of the connector, it is necessary to align the inner surface of the open end of the gutter with the outer surface of the open end of the gutter connector, and it is projected on the inner surface of the gutter. Since it is necessary to align the ridge and the groove of the vertical gutter connector, and these two locations must be aligned at the same time, connection work was not easy.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to the problems in the conventional vertical gutter connecting device, and its object is to solve the conventional problems and to facilitate the connection work with the vertical gutter. It is in the area of providing downspout fittings.

[0006]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, in a vertical gutter connecting tool of the present invention, a vertical gutter for connecting a vertical gutter having an axial engaging projection protruding on an inner surface thereof. A connector, having at least one end an insertion port that fits with the inner surface of the gutter end, and the side surface of this insertion part is fitted with an engagement ridge protruding from the inner surface of the gutter. A vertical gutter connector having a groove is characterized in that the tip of the groove on the outlet opening end side is arranged on the back side of the outlet opening end.

The present invention solves the above problems by such a configuration.

In the present invention, the material of the downspout connector is not particularly limited, but for example, hard vinyl chloride resin, acrylic resin, polyethylene, FR
In addition to synthetic resins such as P and polycarbonate, engineering plastics such as polyphenylene sulfide and AES resin, or composites (laminates) of these synthetic resins, or metals such as iron, stainless steel, copper and aluminum are used alone. Alternatively, these materials may be appropriately combined and used, for example, by providing a synthetic resin coating layer such as the above hard vinyl chloride resin on both surfaces of a metal core material such as iron.

[0009]

In the vertical gutter connecting device of the present invention, the tip of the concave groove on the outlet opening end side is arranged on the back side of the outlet opening end, so that the outer surface of the opening end of the vertical gutter connecting device is connected to the vertical gutter. The outlet of the downspout connector can be inserted into the open end of the downspout by simply aligning it with the inner surface of the open end. Then, insert the spout of the gutter connector into the opening end of the gutter, and arrange the groove of the gutter connector to the position where it can fit with the ridge on the inner surface of the gutter without alignment. Therefore, simply inserting the outlet of the vertical girder connector into the back of the vertical gutter, the groove of the outlet of the vertical gutter connector and the ridge on the inner surface of the vertical gutter can be fitted together. it can.
