JPS6033244Y2 - Gutter joint cap - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a cap that is attached to the end of a gutter joint with a branch pipe to which the vertical gutter is not connected to prevent dust from entering.1 Conventionally, rain that falls on the roof is collected. Water is collected in a container and drained via anglerfish, a vertical gutter, etc. However, since the anglerfish and the vertical gutter have no openings other than the connection port with the water collector and the drainage port, when the rainwater flow increases, the rainwater is drained. The flow became turbulent, and the area around the connection port became depressurized, causing rainwater to be drawn up toward the water collector, which sometimes caused it to scatter from the water collector.

In view of the above drawbacks, a gutter joint with a branch pipe is used as a gutter joint to form a gutter device that allows rainwater to drain smoothly from anglers, downpipes, etc. without scattering from the water collector even when the flow rate of rainwater increases. However, in this case, there would be a pipe end to which a downpipe or the like is not connected, which could lead to the intrusion of dust, fallen leaves, small birds, etc.

The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and to provide a gutter that can prevent rainwater from scattering from a water collector and also prevent dust from entering a gutter joint having a branch pipe. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a joint cap, the gist of which is that a cylindrical body is provided with a connecting portion at one end, a partition is formed inside the connecting portion, and a through hole is provided at the end of the partition. This is a gutter joint cap.

Next, the gutter joint cap of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a longitudinal cross-sectional view showing an example of the gutter joint cap of the present invention.

Reference numeral 1 designates a cylindrical body, one end of which is reduced in diameter to form a connecting portion 2 that can fit into a gutter joint, and the other end is cut diagonally to form an opening 3.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a partition wall, which is formed inside the cylindrical body 1 in a convex manner toward the connecting portion 2, and has a through hole 5 formed at its end.

Reference numeral 6 denotes ribs, and two ribs are formed along the partition wall 4 on the outer periphery of the cylindrical body 1.

The gutter joint of the present invention is molded from thermoplastic resin such as vinyl chloride resin, but the surface may be plated with metal such as copper.

FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of a gutter device showing how the gutter joint cap of the present invention is used.

In the figure, reference numeral 20 indicates a gutter joint having branch pipes, and branch pipes 21, 22, and 23 extending diagonally upward, upward, and downward are formed.

A vertical gutter 30 connected to a water collector (not shown) is connected to the diagonally directed branch pipe 21, and a vertical gutter having a drain port (not shown) is connected to the downward branch pipe 23. and
The gutter joint cap 1 of the present invention is attached to the upward branch pipe 22.
0 are connected to form a gutter device.

Note that the cap 10 may be connected to the branch pipe 21.

Rainwater collected in the water collector is drained via the downspout 30, the gutter joint 20, and the downspout 40.

When the inside of the gutter device becomes depressurized, outside air flows in through the through hole 5, so that the pressure returns to normal pressure, and the rainwater is smoothly drained from the drain port without scattering from the water collector.

In the present invention, the configuration of the gutter joint cap is as described above,
If the gutter joint cap of the present invention is connected to the end of the gutter joint of a gutter device formed by a water collector, a gutter, a gutter joint having a branch pipe, etc., where the gutter, etc. is not connected, the flow rate of rainwater will increase. Since outside air flows in through the vents, the inside of the gutter system does not become depressurized, and rainwater drains smoothly from the water collector without scattering.

Since the gutter joint cap of the present invention has a through hole formed in the partition wall, rain that falls into the cap is drained through the hole, and debris such as leaves is blocked by the partition wall and does not enter the gutter device. I'm never there.

The partition wall of the cap of the present invention can be made to resemble a natural joint, which is aesthetically pleasing.Since the through hole is provided at the end of the partition wall and the partition wall is formed from the connecting part, rainwater can temporarily drain away. Even if a small amount of water accumulates and scatters from the hole, it remains inside the cap and does not fly out and stain the exterior walls of the house.
