Further, when the electric heater becomes inoperable or the like, the heating section of the defective electric heater is detached from the first fixing means or the third fixing means in which it is held, and the first fixing means is removed. Alternatively, it is possible to easily and quickly re-hold the heat generating portion of the non-defective electric heater in the third fixing means.

[0013]

1 and 2 show a preferred embodiment of a first eaves gutter protection cover according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is an explanatory view of a use state of the cover, and FIG. 2 is a heating section of the electric heater. FIG. The first eaves gutter protection cover will be described below.

The eaves gutter 10 to which the first eaves gutter protection cover of FIG. 1 is attached has a substantially U-shaped cross section, and its upper end is widely open. The eaves gutter 10 has an inner suspension structure in which the insides of the front side edge 12 and the rear side edge 14 are supported by a side wall 42 of the house below the eaves 40 via a support arm 60. From the side wall 42 of the house inside the eaves 40, a draining plate 50 hangs obliquely downward toward the rear upper part of the eaves gutter 10. The tip of the draining plate 50 is arranged above the rear part of the eaves gutter 10. The draining plate 50 is for allowing rainwater falling from the eaves 40 to flow into the inside of the eaves gutter 10 without flowing around to the side wall 42 of the house inside the eaves 40.

The first eaves gutter protective cover of FIG. 1 is used by being attached to the eaves gutter 10 having such a structure. The first eaves gutter protection cover will be described below. The first eaves gutter protective cover of FIG. 1 is a first stainless steel band-shaped net cover 20 that covers the upper end opening of the eaves gutter 10, and a front edge 22 of the net cover is fixed to the front edge 12 of the eave gutter. A fixing means 32, a second fixing means 34 for fixing the rear edge 24 of the net cover to the drain board 50 disposed above the rear part of the eaves gutter 10, and a decoration for covering the rear edge 24 of the net cover. And a covering frame 80. The first fixing means 32 is formed of a plastic material which is an elastic body. Like the first fixing means 32 of the eaves gutter protection cover shown in FIG. 4, the holding portion 322 and the holding portion 324 are adjacent to each other. It has a long frame structure connected side by side. Similarly to the second fixing means 34 of the eaves gutter protection cover shown in FIG. 4, the second fixing means 34 is constituted by a tightening bolt 342. The decorative covering frame 80 also has a laterally long frame structure similar to the covering frame 80 of the eaves gutter protection cover shown in FIG.

In addition, in the first eaves gutter protective cover of FIG. 1, the electric heater controls the temperature of the heat generating portion 90 of the electric heater so that the temperature of the heat generating portion 90 is within a certain range. The structure having the control means 92 is used. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, a heating portion 90 of the electric heater is provided with two conductor lines 94 arranged in parallel, and a space between the two conductor lines 94 extends over substantially the entire length thereof. The structure is electrically connected in parallel by a resistor 96 made of a special combination of polymer and conductive carbon. When the temperature of the resistor 96 that connects the two conductor lines 94 in parallel decreases, the resistor 96
When the temperature of the heat generating portion 90 of the electric heater rises and the temperature of the resistor 96 rises, the electrical resistance of the resistor 96 connected in parallel between the two conductor lines 94 increases. Thus, the temperature of the heat generating portion 90 of the electric heater is reduced. Then, the resistor 96 constitutes a temperature control means 92. The outside of the resistor 96 is covered with a flexible insulating resin material 98. The heating section 90 of the electric heater includes, for example, Auto. Trace (registered trademark) is used.

The first eaves gutter protective cover shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 is configured as described above. Next, an example of use of the first eaves gutter protection cover and its operation will be described.

Can be fixed to the front edge 12 of the eaves gutter. At the same time, the rear edge 24 of the net cover is fixed to the second fixing means 34.
Through the draining plate 5 disposed above the rear of the eaves gutter 10
Can be fixed to 0. Then, the upper end opening of the eaves gutter 10 can be covered almost horizontally by the net cover 20. And
The net cover 20 can prevent the dust, such as snow or fallen leaves or pebbles, from entering the inside of the eaves gutter 10 and impairing the function of the eaves gutter 10. In addition, rainwater falling from the eaves 40 can flow into the eaves gutter 10 through the mesh of the net cover 20.

In the first eaves gutter protection cover, the heat generated from the heat generating portion 90 of the electric heater held by the first fixing means 32 causes the first fixing means 32
And the net cover 20 and the front edge 12 of the eaves gutter
Can be heated. And on the first fixing means 32,
The snow 100 that has accumulated or adhered on the net cover 20 or the front edge 12 of the eaves gutter is removed from the heating section 9 of the electric heater.
With the heat generated from zero, it can be dissolved and turned into water. Then, the water can flow into the inside of the eaves gutter 10 or fall under the eaves. Then, the front side of the snow 100 piled up or adhered on the first fixing means 32, the net cover 20, or the front edge 12 of the eaves gutter extends along the outer surface of the eaves gutter 10. Can be prevented from wrapping deeply into the inside of the floor or being icicle-shaped below the eaves gutter 10 and hanging down for a long time.

Further, in the first eaves gutter protection cover, the temperature control means 92 controls the heat generating portion 90 of the electric heater.
However, it is possible to prevent the temperature from becoming excessively high. Then, it is possible to prevent the thermal energy for melting the snow 100 that has accumulated or adhered on the first fixing means 32, the net cover 20, or the front edge 12 of the eaves gutter from being wasted. it can.

In the first eaves gutter protection cover, since the heat generating portion 90 of the electric heater is detachably held by the first fixing means 32, the front edge 22 of the net cover is provided.
Between the first fixing means 32 and the second fixing means 3
In the operation of attaching to the front side edge 12 of the eaves gutter and the draining plate 50 using the first fixing means 32, the first fixing means 32
In addition, the heating portion 90 of the electric heater can be held easily and quickly. Further, when the electric heater becomes inoperable or the like, the heating unit 90 of the defective electric heater is detached from the first fixing means 32 in which it is held, and a non-defective product is attached to the first fixing means 32. The heating section 90 of the electric heater can be easily and quickly held again.

FIG. 3 shows a preferred embodiment of the second eaves gutter protection cover of the present invention, and FIG. Hereinafter, the second eaves gutter protection cover will be described.

The eaves gutter 10 to which the second eaves gutter protection cover of FIG. 3 is attached has a substantially arc-shaped cross section, and has a wide open upper end. The eaves gutter 10 has a support arm 62 on the outside, and the side wall 4 of the house below the eaves 40.
