Abstract

A junction element for a roof gutter-downpipe is described, which combines the advantage of cost reduction and simplified mounting with two functions. It contains a screen (20) and thus serves as a leaf trap, and on the other hand it possesses a movable guide member (8) for optional removal of rainwater. The guide member (8) is preferably groove-shaped and is articulated on the junction piece by means of two articulated straps (9) forming a double link. The screen (20) can be removed through an opening (6) and cleaned. In this case, the guide member (8) is raised. If no rainwater is to be removed, the guide member (8) covers the opening (6). The screen (20) is advantageously sugarloaf-shaped. Stepped reducing fittings (2, 3) can be provided at the ends of the junction element (see drawing). <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Zwischenstück für ein Dachrinnen-Fallrohr mit einem einlauf- und einem auslaufseitigen Rohranschluß.The invention relates to an intermediate piece for a gutter downpipe with an inlet and an outlet pipe connection.

Bekannt sind einerseits sogenannte Wasserklappen. Darunter werden Teilstücke eines Fallrohres verstanden, die in den üblichen Fallrohr-Durchmessern im Handel erhältlich sind und, an geeigneter Stelle eingebaut, dazu dienen, bei Bedarf Regenwasser zu entnehmen und beispielsweise in einer Tonne zu sammeln. Das Rohrstück hat eine Mantelöffnung, in deren Bereich eine der Mantelwölbung entsprechende Auslaufrinne um eine einzige Querachse derart schwenkbar gelagert ist, daß sie eine Schließ- und eine Wasserentnahmestellung einnehmen kann. In der Schließstellung deckt die Auslaufrinne den oberen Teil der Öffnung von außen und den unteren Teil von innen ab. In der Wasserentnahmestellung steht die Rinne quer zur Rohrachse und ist leicht nach außen geneigt, so daß das herabfallende Wasser aufgefangen und nach außen geleitet wird.So-called water valves are known on the one hand. This includes sections of a downpipe that are commercially available in the usual downpipe diameters and, installed at a suitable location, are used to remove rainwater when necessary and, for example, to collect it in a barrel. The pipe section has a jacket opening, in the area of which an outlet channel corresponding to the jacket curvature is pivotably mounted about a single transverse axis in such a way that it can assume a closed and a water withdrawal position. In the closed position, the outlet channel covers the upper part of the opening from the outside and the lower part from the inside. In the water withdrawal position, the channel is transverse to the pipe axis and is slightly inclined outwards, so that the falling water is collected and directed to the outside.

Andererseits ist es bekannt, am Einlauf des Fallrohres, d. h. dort, wo es mit einer leichten Aufweitung an der Dachrinne angeschlossen ist, ein Sieb einzusetzen, wenn bei dem betreffenden Dach mit Laufbefall gerechnet werden muß. Um das Sieb zu reinigen, ist es dabei erforderlich, mit der Leiter zum Dachtrauf hinauf zu steigen, was mühsam und gefährlich ist.On the other hand, it is known at the inlet of the downpipe, i. H. where it is connected to the gutter with a slight widening, use a sieve if running roof must be expected on the roof in question. To clean the screen, it is necessary to climb the ladder to the eaves, which is tedious and dangerous.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Laubfänger vorzuschlagen, der einfach und ungefährlich gereinigt werden kann und besonders kostengünstig ist.The invention has for its object to propose a leaf catcher that can be cleaned easily and safely and is particularly inexpensive.

Diese Aufgabe wird ausgehend von einem Zwischenstück der einleitend bezeichneten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß es ein Laubfangsieb und ein bewegliches Leitorgan zur wahlweisen Entnahme von Regenwasser aufweist. Ein solches Zwischenstück kann wie die üblichen Wasserklappen im unteren Teil des Fallrohres in Griffhöhe angeordnet werden, so daß keine Unfallgefahr mehr besteht. Die zusätzliche Möglichkeit, Wasser zu entnehmen, schafft eine verglichen mit getrennten Vorrichtungen preiswertere kombinierte Vorrichtung, deren Einbau auch für denjenigen reizvoll ist, der die Gefährlichkeit üblicher hochliegender Fallrohr-Einlaufsiebe zunächst nicht richtig einschätzt.Starting from an intermediate piece of the type described in the introduction, this object is achieved according to the invention in that it has a leaf trap and a movable guide element for the optional removal of rainwater. Such an intermediate piece can be arranged like the usual water flaps in the lower part of the downpipe at handle height, so that there is no longer a risk of an accident. The additional possibility of removing water is created by a combined device which is cheaper than separate devices and whose installation is also attractive for those who initially do not correctly assess the dangerousness of the usual vertical downpipe inlet strainers.

Besonders zweckmäßig ist es, das Leitorgan mittels zweier einen Doppellenker bildender z. B. streifenförmiger Gelenklaschen anzulenken, so daß es zwar in alle gewünschten Stellungen bewegt werden kann, aber doch mit dem Zwischenstück verbunden bleibt und nicht verloren gehen kann.It is particularly expedient to form the guide element by means of two z. B. hinged strip-shaped link plates so that it can be moved to all desired positions, but remains connected to the intermediate piece and can not be lost.

Ein besonders einfaches Fallrohr-Zwischenstück mit Laubfang- und Wasserentnahme-Funktion zeichnet sich dadurch aus, daß an diesem eine Öffnung vorgesehen ist, welche einerseits den Zugriff zu dem darin enthaltenen Sieb und andererseits das Herausleiten des Regenwassers mittels des Leitorgans ermöglicht.A particularly simple downpipe intermediate piece with leaf trap and water removal function is characterized in that an opening is provided on it, which, on the one hand, enables access to the sieve contained therein and, on the other hand, allows rainwater to be led out by means of the guide element.

Eine besonders zweckmäßige Ausführungsform hat ein rohrförmiges Gehäuse mit einer Öffnung am Gehäusemantel und weist als Leitorgan eine dem Gehäusemantel entsprechend gewölbte Rinne auf, die wahlweise verschiedene Stellungen einnehmen kann, in denen sie die Öffnung verschließt, das Regenwasser herausleitet oder in einem zum Einsetzen und Reinigen des Siebes ausreichenden Maße die Öffnung frei gibt. Letzteres ist bei den bekannten Wasserklappen nicht der Fall. Diese können von der Schließstellung nur in die Wasserentnahmestellung geschwenkt werden und verhindern in dieser Stellung den Zugriff in das Fallrohr hinein. Demgegenüber ist es vorteilhaft, dem vorstehenden Vorschlag gemäß die Rinne wenigstens so weit wegnehmen zu können, daß die Öffnung zum Einsetzen und Herausnehmen sowie zum Reinigen des Siebes frei wird. Das Sieb wird in die untere Partie des Gehäuses eingesetzt. Es könnte z. B. ein tulpenförmiges Drahtsieb sein, wie es als Einlaufsieb von Fallrohren altbekannt ist. Ein höheres Sieb ist aber besser. Als besonders zweckmäßig hat sich ein kegelförmiges Sieb aus Drahtstäben erwiesen.A particularly expedient embodiment has a tubular housing with an opening on the housing jacket and, as a guide element, has a channel which is curved in accordance with the housing jacket and which can optionally assume various positions in which it closes the opening, conducts the rainwater or in one for inserting and cleaning the The opening is clear enough. The latter is not the case with the known water valves. These can only be pivoted from the closed position into the water withdrawal position and prevent access to the downpipe in this position. In contrast, it is advantageous, according to the above proposal, to be able to remove the channel at least so far that the opening for inserting and removing and for cleaning the screen becomes free. The sieve is inserted in the lower part of the housing. It could e.g. B. be a tulip-shaped wire screen, as it is well known as an inlet screen of downpipes. A higher sieve is better. A conical sieve made of wire rods has proven to be particularly useful.

Hinsichtlich der Herstellung des vorgeschlagenen Zwischenstücks ist es vorteilhaft, den Zuschnitt der Gehäusemantel-Öffnung kreisrund zu machen, so daß sie mit einem Kreisschneider ausgeschnitten oder mit einem einfachen Werkzeug ausgestanzt werden kann, wonach noch zwei einander diametral gegenüberliegende Zwickel anzubringen sind.With regard to the manufacture of the proposed intermediate piece, it is advantageous to make the blank of the housing jacket opening circular, so that it can be cut out with a circular cutter or punched out with a simple tool, after which two diametrically opposed gussets must be attached.

Seine erforderliche Beweglichkeit erhält das Leitorgan, zweckmäßigerweise eine halbrunde Rinne, durch den schon erwähnten Doppellenker. Es wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Gelenklaschen dieses Doppellenkers einenends oberhalb der Öffnung am Gehäusemantel und anderenends an den Längsrändern der Rinne angelenkt sind und die einander entsprechenden Enden der Gelenklaschen gleichachsig sind.The guide element, expediently a semicircular channel, receives its required mobility through the already mentioned double link. It is proposed that the link plates of this double link are articulated at one end above the opening on the housing shell and at the other end at the longitudinal edges of the channel and that the corresponding ends of the link plates are coaxial.

An der Gehäuseinnenseite sollte ein Einleitblech angebracht sein, das zwei Funktionen hat. Es erstreckt sich über einen Teil des Gehäuseumfangs und dient zum vollständigen Einleiten des Fallwassers in die in Entnahmestellung befindliche Rinne. Dazu ist das Einleitblech am unteren Rand trichterähnlich eingezogen und übergreift somit den Rand der Rinne. Ferner bildet es einen Anschlag für diese, so daß die Rinne einfach in die Entnahmestellung gebracht werden kann und stabil darin verbleibt.An inlet plate with two functions should be attached to the inside of the housing. It extends over part of the circumference of the housing and is used for the complete introduction of the fall water into the gutter in the removal position. For this purpose, the inlet plate is drawn in at the lower edge like a funnel and thus overlaps the edge of the channel. Furthermore, it forms a stop for this, so that the channel can simply be brought into the removal position and remains stable therein.

Zur Verringerung der Lagerhaltung infolge universeller Anwendbarkeit wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Rohranschlüsse des Gehäuses als mehrstufige Reduzierstücke ausgebildet sind, insbesondere für die gängigen Durchmesser von 8, 10, 12 und 15 cm. Durch Entfernen des Abschnitts mit dem kleinsten Durchmesser oder mehrerer Abschnitte kann ein Fallrohr mit irgendeinem dieser Durchmesser angeschlossen werden. Bei Entfernung des gesamten Reduzierstücks ist es auch möglich, das Gehäuse unmittelbar mit einem Fallrohr gleichen Durchmessers zu verbinden.To reduce storage due to universal applicability, it is proposed that the pipe connections of the housing be designed as multi-stage reducers, in particular for the common diameters of 8, 10, 12 and 15 cm. By removing the section with the smallest diameter or several sections, a downpipe with any of these diameters can be connected. If the entire reducer is removed, it is also possible to connect the housing directly to a downpipe of the same diameter.

Das Gehäuse 1 des dargestellten Zwischenstücks ist ein etwa 66 cm langes Stück eines Dachrinnen-Fallrohrs aus Blech mit einem der größeren gebräuchlichen Durchmesser von 12 cm. An den beiden Enden sind dreifach gestufte Reduzierstücke 2 und 3 angesetzt, und zwar so, daß der Abschnitt größten Durchmessers des oberen Reduzierstücks 2 in das Gehäuse 1 eingreift, während der entsprechende Abschnitt des unteren Reduzierstücks 3 das Gehäuse 1 übergreift, wie es beim Zusammenstecken von Fallrohrabschnitten üblich ist, um ein Austreten des Wassers an der Verbindungsstelle zu vermeiden. Die Abschnitte 4 und 5 der Reduzierstücke haben Durchmesser von 10 bzw. 8 cm. Somit lassen sich Fallrohre mit diesem kleinen Durchmesser ohne Vorarbeit anschließen. Zum Anschluß an Fallrohre mit 10 cm Durchmesser wird der jeweilige Abschnitt 5 mit dem anschließenden kegeligen Abschnitt abgetrennt und zum Anschluß von Fallrohren mit 12 cm Durchmesser werden die Befestigungsnieten abgefeilt und die Reduzierstücke 2 und 3 ganz entfernt.The housing 1 of the intermediate piece shown is an approximately 66 cm long piece of a gutter downpipe made of sheet metal with a larger common diameter of 12 cm. At the two ends triple stepped reducers 2 and 3 are attached, so that the largest diameter portion of the upper reducer 2 engages in the housing 1, while the corresponding section of the lower reducer 3 overlaps the housing 1, as it is when plugging together Downpipe sections is common to prevent water from escaping at the connection point. Sections 4 and 5 of the reducers have diameters of 10 and 8 cm, respectively. Down pipes with this small diameter can therefore be connected without any preparatory work. For connection to downspouts with a diameter of 10 cm, the respective section 5 is separated with the subsequent conical section and for connecting downpipes with a diameter of 12 cm, the fastening rivets are filed down and the reducers 2 and 3 are completely removed.

Ein wenig über der Mitte hat das Gehäuse 1 eine größere Öffnung 6, deren Rand im ebenen Blechzuschnitt kreisförmig ist (etwa 17 cm Durchmesser) und an zwei einander diametral gegenüberliegenden Stellen je einen spitz zulaufenden Zwickel 7 aufweist. Wenn das Blech zum zylindrischen Gehäuse 1 geformt ist, liegen die Zwickel einander in Umfangsrichtung gegenüber.A little above the center, the housing 1 has a larger opening 6, the edge of which is circular in the flat sheet metal blank (approximately 17 cm in diameter) and pointed at two diametrically opposite points has tapered gusset 7. When the sheet is formed into the cylindrical housing 1, the gussets are opposite to each other in the circumferential direction.

Eine querschnittlich etwa halbkreisförmige Wasserklappe 8 hat etwa den gleichen Krümmungsradius wie das Gehäuse 1 und ist mittels zweier bandförmiger Gelenklaschen 9 und 10 an dem Gehäuse 1 angelenkt. Die als Nieten ausgebildeten Anlenkstellen 11 am Gehäuse befinden sich oberhalb der Zwickel 7 und die Anlenkstellen 12 an der Wasserklappe 8 befinden sich etwa auf einem Drittel der Länge an deren Längsrändern. Die Gelenklaschen 9 und 10 sind so lang, daß die Anlenkstellen 12 in die Zwickel 7 einschwenken. Zur Betätigung ist in der Nähe des Auslaufendes der Wasserklappe 8 ein kugelförmiger Griff 13 angebracht. Der untere bzw. innere Randstreifen 14 der Wasserklappe ist gekröpft, d. h. gegenüber der übrigen Fläche versetzt, so daß sie in der Schließstellung (Fig. 4) besser in das Gehäuse paßt.A cross-sectionally approximately semicircular water flap 8 has approximately the same radius of curvature as the housing 1 and is articulated on the housing 1 by means of two band-shaped hinge plates 9 and 10. The articulation points 11 on the housing, which are designed as rivets, are located above the gusset 7 and the articulation points 12 on the water flap 8 are located on their longitudinal edges at approximately one third of the length. The link plates 9 and 10 are so long that the articulation points 12 pivot into the gusset 7. For actuation, a spherical handle 13 is attached near the outlet end of the water valve 8. The lower or inner edge strip 14 of the water flap is cranked, i. H. offset from the rest of the surface, so that it fits better into the housing in the closed position (Fig. 4).

Fig. 1 zeigt die Wasserentnahmestellung der Wasserklappe 8. Sie ist um etwa 30° nach unten geneigt und liegt mit ihrem abgekröpften inneren Randbogen weitgehend an der Innenfläche des Gehäuses 1 an. Ein Einleitblech 15 ist mit zwei Nieten 16 oberhalb der Wasserklappe an der Gehäuseinnenfläche befestigt. Der untere Randbereich 17 des Einleitbleches ist teilkegelförmig nach innen gebogen und überdeckt den Randstreifen 14 der Wasserklappe, so daß alles Fallwasser von der Wasserklappe 8 erfaßt und ausgeleitet wird. Außerdem dient das Einleitblech 15 für die Wasserklappe 8 als Anschlag, es definiert die Wasserentnahmestellung und erleichtert das Verbringen der Wasserklappe 8 in diese Stellung.1 shows the water removal position of the water flap 8. It is inclined downward by approximately 30 ° and, with its cranked inner edge arch, lies largely against the inner surface of the housing 1. An inlet plate 15 is fastened to the inner surface of the housing with two rivets 16 above the water flap. The lower edge region 17 of the inlet plate is bent inwards in the shape of a partial cone and covers the edge strip 14 of the water flap, so that all falling water is grasped and discharged by the water flap 8. In addition, the inlet plate 15 serves as a stop for the water flap 8, it defines the water withdrawal position and makes it easier to move the water flap 8 into this position.

Normalerweise ist das Zwischenstück durch die Wasserklappe 8 verschlossen und das Regenwasser wird im Fallrohr weitergeleitet. Dazu bewegt man die Wasserklappe 8 in die Stellung nach Fig. 4, wobei der obere Teil der Klappe sich von außen über das Gehäuse 1 legt und der untere Teil in das Gehäuse eingreift. Der Längsrand der Wasserklappe 8 tritt an der Spitze des Zwickels 7 in das Gehäuse ein. Die Gelenklaschen 9 und 10 verlaufen in dieser Stellung etwa parallel zur Rohrachse. Das hochgeschwenkte Auslaufende der Wasserklappe 8 wird in dieser Stellung mittels eines bei 18 gelagerten Schwenkriegels 19 festgehalten, der nach vorne abgewinkelt ist, um ihn anfassen und die hochgestellte Klappe auflegen zu können (Fig. 5).Usually, the intermediate piece is closed by the water flap 8 and the rainwater is in the downpipe forwarded. For this purpose, the water flap 8 is moved into the position according to FIG. 4, the upper part of the flap lying over the housing 1 from the outside and the lower part engaging in the housing. The longitudinal edge of the water valve 8 enters the housing at the tip of the gusset 7. In this position, the link plates 9 and 10 run approximately parallel to the tube axis. The swiveled-out outlet end of the water flap 8 is held in this position by means of a swivel bolt 19 mounted at 18, which is angled forwards in order to be able to grip it and to be able to put the flap upwards (FIG. 5).

In dem unteren Teil des Gehäuses 1 ist ein Sieb 20 als Laubfänger eingesetzt. Es besteht aus einem Basisring 21, der im Beispiel auf der oberen Kegelfläche des Reduzierstücks 3 aufsteht. An diesem Basisring 21 sind zwölf Drahtstäbe 22 befestigt, die als Mantellinien eines spitzen Kegels nach oben stehen und an der Spitze durch eine Kappe 23 zusammengehalten sind. Um dieses Sieb 20 zu reinigen oder es aus dem Gehäuse 1 herauszunehmen, wird die Wasserklappe 8 von der Öffnung 6 nach oben weggeschwenkt, so daß die Öffnung ganz frei ist. Dies zeigt Fig. 5. Der Schwenkriegel 19 ist so bemessen und angebracht, daß die hochgestellte Wasserklappe mit ihrem unteren Rand auf dem abgewinkelten Teil des Schwenkriegels aufsteht und somit während der Siebreinigung nicht herunterfallen kann.In the lower part of the housing 1, a sieve 20 is used as a leaf catcher. It consists of a base ring 21, which in the example stands on the upper conical surface of the reducer 3. On this base ring 21, twelve wire rods 22 are fastened, which stand upward as the surface lines of a pointed cone and are held together at the tip by a cap 23. In order to clean this sieve 20 or to take it out of the housing 1, the water flap 8 is pivoted upwards away from the opening 6, so that the opening is completely free. This is shown in FIG. 5.
