【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記先行技術には、竪樋を把持する把持部と、この把持部を外壁面に取付ける固定部とからなる種々の竪樋支持具が開示されており、これら以外にも種々の構造のものが知られている。例えば、図３の平面図に示す公知の竪樋支持具においては、把持部４が、外壁面Ｗにビス６で固定された固定部５にリベット７で接続され、一体的に構成されている。しかしながら、このような構成では、把持部４と固定部５を挿通したリベット７の頭をカシメ止めし、両者を一体的とする作業と、竪樋を取付ける作業とを行なわねばならず、施工に手間がかかるという問題がある。また、把持部４に不具合が生じたときは、リベット７を切断して把持部４を交換するか、竪樋支持具全体を取り替える必要があり、繁雑な作業を要する。本発明はこのような問題点を解決するためになされたものであって、簡単な作業で竪樋を外壁面に取付け可能であるとともに、部品に不具合が生じたとき等に、容易に取り替えを行うことができる竪樋支持具を提供することをその課題とする。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明は、上記課題を解決するために考え出されたものであって、つぎのような技術的手段を講じている。すなわち、本発明によれば、竪樋を把持する把持手段と、この把持手段を建物の外壁面に取付ける固定手段とからなる竪樋の支持具において、該固定手段を板状とし、その一端を側面視略コの字型の係止部とするとともに、他端を外壁面に固定する直立固定部とし、上記把持手段の外壁面側には上記係止部と係合する係合部が設けられていることを特徴とする竪樋支持具が提供される。このようにすることによって、上記係止部を上記係合部に係合させて仮止め状態とし、この状態で竪樋を把持手段によって把持することにより、該竪樋そのものを介して上記把持手段と固定手段とをしっかりと接合することができる。
【０００６】
上記把持手段が弾性を有する合成樹脂から構成されることが好ましい。たとえば、ポリカーボネート、ポリプロピレン等で把持手段を形成することにより、竪樋が弾性的に把持されるとともに、この竪樋の外壁側の側面部と、把持手段に設けられた係合部とが上記側面視略コの字型の係止部の垂下部を弾性的に挟み込み、上記把持手段と固定手段とをしっかりと接合することができる。
【０００７】
上記直立固定部がビスによって外壁面に固定されることが好ましい。このように、板状とされた固定手段の一端である直立固定部をビスによって固定し、他端の係止部を把持手段に接合することによって、竪樋をしっかりと建物の外壁面に取付けることができる。
【０００８】
上記固定手段が金属から構成されることが好ましい。金属製の固定手段と、弾性を有する合成樹脂の成形品である把持手段とを接合することによって、竪樋をしっかりと、かつ、弾性的に建物の外壁面に取付けることができる。
【０００９】
上記竪樋が角筒型であることが好ましい。平断面が略正方形、あるいは略正八角形等の角筒型とすることによって、この竪樋の外壁側の側面部の接触面積が大となり、この側面部と把持手段に設けられた係合部とが上記係止部の垂下部を挟み込み、竪樋をしっかりと、かつ、弾性的に建物の外壁面に取付けることができる。
【００１０】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の好ましい実施の形態について、図面を参照して、さらに詳細に説明する。図１は、本発明にかかる竪樋支持具を示す分解斜視図である。図１において、竪樋支持具は、竪樋Ｔを把持する把持手段１と、この把持手段１を建物の外壁面Ｗに取付ける板状の固定手段２とからなり、この固定手段２の一端は側面視略コの字型の係止部２１とされ、他端は外壁面Ｗに取付られる直立固定部２２とされている。また、把持手段１の外壁面側には、上記係止部２１と係合する係合部１１が設けられている。図１からよくわかるように、上記係止部２１は垂下部２１１を有し、上記直立固定部２２にはビス孔が設けられ、ビス３でしっかりと外壁面Ｗに固定される。
【００１１】
図１において、把持手段１は、受け側部材１２と、止め側部材１３とに分割され、ヒンジ１４を介して、止め側部材１３が、受け側部材１２に回動自在に取付けられている。受け側部材１２の一端には嵌合突起部１２１が設けられ、また、止め側部材１３の一端には、嵌合係止部１３１が設けられ、嵌合可能とされている。このとき、受け側部材１２および止め側部材１３は、弾性を有する合成樹脂から形成されているため、嵌合突起部１２１と嵌合係止部１３１とは、相互に弾性的に嵌合し、竪樋Ｔをしっかりと把持する。図２は、このようにして竪樋Ｔを把持するとともに、竪樋Ｔの外壁側の側面部Ｔ１と、係合部１１とで、上記垂下部２１１を挟み込み、把持手段１と固定手段２とを接合した状態を示す側断面図である。
【００１２】
つぎに、把持手段１と固定手段２とを接合する操作について図１、図２にしたがって説明する。まず、固定手段２を、固定部２２にビス３を挿通、固定することにより、外壁面Ｗに取付ける。ついで、側面視略コの字型の係止部２１を把持手段１の外壁面Ｗ側に設けられたの係合部１１に係合させ、仮止め状態とする。この状態で竪樋Ｔを受け側部材１２に嵌込み、係止部２１の垂下部２１１を上記係合部１１と竪樋Ｔとで挟み込むように抑え、止め側部材１３を回動させる。最後に嵌合突起部１２１と嵌合係止部１３１とを嵌合させることによって、竪樋Ｔをしっかりと把持する。
【００１３】
既述したように、竪樋Ｔの外壁側の側面部Ｔ１は、係合部１１とともに係止部２１の垂下部２１１を挟み込む挟持手段としても機能し、その結果、把持手段１が、竪樋Ｔそのものを介して、固定手段２に接合される。このように、把持手段１の弾性力および竪樋Ｔそのものを利用することにより、少ない部品点数で、竪樋Ｔを外壁面Ｗに簡単な作業で取付けできるとともに、把持手段１等に不具合が生じたときは、取り替え作業も容易なものとなる。
【００１４】

【００１６】
請求項３に記載の発明は、上記直立固定部２２がビス３によって外壁面Ｗに固定される。このようすることによって、請求項１に記載の発明の効果に加えて、板状とされた固定手段２の一端である直立固定部２２をビス３によって固定し、他端の係止部２１を把持手段１に接合して、竪樋Ｔをしっかりと建物の外壁面Ｗに取付けることができる。
【００１７】
請求項４に記載の発明は、上記固定手段２が金属から構成される。このようにすることによって、請求項１に記載の発明の効果に加えて、金属製の固定手段２と、弾性を有する合成樹脂の成形品である把持手段１とが接合し、竪樋Ｔをしっかりと、かつ、弾性的に建物の外壁面Ｗに取付けることができる。
