[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a gutter support mounted on an eave or the like, and more particularly, a mounting rod fixed to an eave or the like and a gutter support body are slidably connected to each other to elastically bias the two. The present invention relates to a rain gutter support that is pressed against and fixed by a lock spring and restricts sliding of the gutter support body.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view showing a conventional gutter support.

The gutter support 100 includes a mounting rod 101 fixed to an eave or the like, and a gutter hook 122 for supporting the gutter T.
And a lock spring 103 that is elastically urged.

The mounting rod 101 has a foot rod 121 extending forward from a mounting portion 111 fixed to an eave or the like, and a connecting piece 131 formed stepwise is formed in front of the foot rod 121. The connecting piece 131 has a through hole 141.
Is formed.

[0005] The gutter support body 102 is provided in front of the base material 112,
Later, gutter retaining portions 122 are formed, and the base material 112 is formed.
A long hole 132 overlapping with the through hole 141 of the mounting rod 101 is formed at the center of.

On the lower surface of the base material 112, an uneven portion 142 which is continuous in the longitudinal direction is formed.

The lock spring 103 is formed by bending a spring plate as shown in the figure, and once projecting both sides of the substrate 113 upward once to form locking portions 133 and 133, and then bending this downward to turn the knob. 123, 123 are extended.

Further, a shaft hole 143 is formed at the center of the substrate 113 so as to overlap the long hole 132 of the gutter support main body 102.

The mounting rod 101 and the gutter support main body 10
2. The lock spring 103 has a through hole 141, a long hole 1
32, the shaft hole 143 is overlapped, the connection shaft 104 such as a rivet is penetrated from above, and a spring washer 105 is inserted below the connection shaft 104, and the lower end of the connection shaft 104 is caulked and connected.

In order to construct such a gutter support 100, the mounting portion 111 of the mounting rod 101 is fixed to an appropriate place such as an eaves with screws, nails or the like.

The knob 12 of the lock spring 103
When the user picks 3, 123 and presses inward, the substrate 113 is pressed.
Are bent upward, and the locking portions 133 and 133 are detached from the uneven portion 132 of the gutter support main body 102, so that the gutter support main body 102 can be slid forward and backward.

After sliding the gutter support main body 102 to a desired position, the knob 1
When the substrates 23 and 123 are separated, the elastic force of the substrate 113
Are restored, and the locking portions 133 and 133 are locked to the concave and convex portions 142 of the gutter support main body 102, so that the slide of the gutter support main body 102 can be restricted.

The gutter T is hooked on the gutter hooks 122, 122 of the gutter support body 102 thus positioned and fixed.

The shapes of the rain gutter T, the mounting rod 101, and the gutter support body 102 are not limited to those shown in the figures, but may be various.
It is not limited to this.

[0015]

The lock spring 103
When the knobs 123, 123 are pinched and pressed inward, the locking portions 133, 133 are disengaged from the uneven portion 142 of the gutter support main body 102, and the gutter support main body 102 is moved forward.
You can make it slideable later.

However, the lock spring 103 at this time is
Because the gutter support body 102 is completely separated from the gutter support body 102, when the gutter support body 102 is slid forward and backward,
There was a problem that the long hole 132 and the connecting shaft 104 could not smoothly slide due to engagement.

Although the lock spring 103 is connected to the connecting shaft 104, the lock spring 103 may rotate around the connecting shaft 104. Therefore, the locking portions 133 and 133 of the lock spring 103 are There is also a problem that it cannot be properly locked to the uneven portion 142 of the main body 102.

An object of the present invention is to solve such a problem, and a rain gutter support that can smoothly slide before and after a gutter support main body and that prevents rotation of a lock spring. I will provide a.
