Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention collects rainwater, etc. received by the eaves gutter at the end of the eaves gutter, which is attached to the eaves of the roof of a building such as a house, or at the end and intermediate part of the eaves gutter. Above, regarding the eaves gutter water collector to lead to the vertical gutter. The present invention relates to a device that engages in an auto-locking manner so that when an eaves gutter is fitted and fixed to a water collector, the two are not separated by a latching mechanism.

(Prior art and problems) A water collector is fitted to the end or middle part of an eaves gutter to support it and are connected together, and guides rainwater from the water collection opening of the eaves gutter to the water collector. The water is drained to the ground from a vertical gutter, but conventionally, for example,
As shown in Publication No. 125839, etc., a common method for connecting a water collector and an eaves gutter is to use a clasp or a fitting lid to connect them together.

However, this method usually requires work at heights, requires various tools, and is therefore inefficient and dangerous.Additionally, the lock may lock automatically after engagement. I had a problem with it coming off.

(Technical Issues) This invention addresses these conventional issues and allows the gutter to be fitted into the gutter holder without the need for using various tools or the hassle of tightening wires or screws. This eliminates the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art by allowing the hook attached to the water collector to automatically turn over and engage in a lock-like manner by simply turning the water collector.

(Technical Means) In order to solve the above technical problem, the present invention forms a fitting part 2 of the eaves gutter on the upper edge of the left and right side parts 1a of the water collector body 1, and the fitting part 2 of the eaves gutter is In the eaves gutter water collector formed by fitting the eaves gutter 3 and securing it with a hook 6,
A notch-shaped engagement step part 4 is formed on the upper part of the fitting part 2 so as to support the ear part 8 at the upper end of the eaves gutter from below when the eaves gutter is fitted, and the hook 6 is attached to the ear part of the eaves gutter. A C-shaped member having an inward opening so as to hold the locking member 8 from the outside is pivotally mounted to the engagement step portion 4 so as to be movable up and down about the stop shaft 5 as a fulcrum. A gutter contact piece 6a that is pressed into the lower edge of the ear and rotates in the closing direction when the eaves gutter is fitted to the hook 6, and a locking piece that engages and locks the upper edge of the ear when it is reversed. 6b are provided vertically facing each other.

(Example) The water collector main body 1 is formed into an inverted pyramid shape with a funnel-shaped spread, and has a concave fitting part 2 on the upper edge of the left and right side parts 1a into which the eaves gutter 3 is fitted, and Fitting part 2
A notch-shaped hanging step part 4 is connected to the upper end so as to support the ear part 8 at the upper end of the eaves gutter 3 from below.

The eaves gutter fitting part 2 has a semicircular shape as shown in the illustration, as well as
It may be formed into a square shape for use in square gutters. Although a case is shown in which the hooks 6 are provided at two locations on the left and right sides of the front end of the water collector body 1, they may also be provided at the rear end. When the hooks 6 are provided on both the left and right sides of the front end, the rear end forms an inwardly U-shaped fitting part 7.

The hook 6 has a C-shape similar to a fishhook, and includes a gutter contact piece 6a that is pressed into the ear part 8 of the eaves gutter 3 and reversed, and a locking piece 6b that holds the entire ear part from above when it is reversed. It has both.

(Function) When the eaves gutter 3 is fitted into the fitting part 2 from above the water collector, the lug part 8 comes into contact with the gutter contact piece 6a of the latch hook 6 and presses it downward, so that the latch hook 6 is turned around the stop shaft 5 in the direction of arrow A in FIG.
The whole is held by the locking piece 6b and engaged in a locking manner. Once engaged, even if the latch hook 6 tries to rotate in the original opening direction (arrow B), the abutment piece 6a hits the outer surface of the body below the ear part 8, so it cannot be rotated. The eave gutter 3 cannot be released in any direction by rotation.

Since the latch hook 6 is pivotally attached to the engagement step 4, the engagement step 4 and the latch hook 6 work together to hold the gutter ear portion 8 at a proper position and to maintain the held position. The engagement and locking of the ears is ensured.

That is, the ear part 8 is restrained downwardly and rearwardly by the engaging step part 4, and upwardly by the locking piece 6b of the latch hook 6, and since the elasticity of the gutter is acting, the ear part 8 will not come off without permission toward the opening side of the hook 6.

(Effects) The present invention is constructed as described above, and when the eaves gutter is fitted into the fitting part of the water collector, the lower edge of the gutter's ear touches the gutter contact piece of the hook during the fitting. As the latch hook contacts and presses down, the latch hook automatically reverses in the closing direction using the support shaft 5 as a fulcrum, and locks the latch so that the latch piece holds the ear part. When the locking piece is locked, even if you try to turn the locking piece in the opening direction, the gutter abutment piece hits the outer surface of the body below the ear of the eaves gutter and prevents rotation, making it impossible to release the locking state. Thus, the eaves gutter can be easily and quickly locked into engagement with the water collector, and since the engagement does not accidentally come off, there is no fear of water leakage, and the structure is simple and can be implemented at low cost.
