Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a structure for connecting eaves. More specifically, the present invention relates to a connecting structure for eaves ridges using an inner joint that is fitted inside the seam portion.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, various structures have been proposed for connecting the eaves (see Patent Documents 1 and 2).
[0003]

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-38668 (page 1-3, FIG. 1, FIG. 3)
[Patent Document 2]
Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2003-64833 (page 1-4, FIG. 1, FIG. 4, FIG. 6)
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
When using the known connection structure, first, as shown in FIG. 2 of the present application, the eaves rods 3 are brought into contact with each other, and then, as shown in FIG. Connect the eaves 3. However, as well shown in FIG. 3, the butted ends are exposed as seams S on the outer side of the eaves cage 3, and the appearance is poor. In particular, when a gap is generated between the eaves 3 and 3 due to construction, the gap is not only conspicuous but also causes dripping. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a connecting structure for eaves ridges that connect the eaves ridges with an inner joint, and that is attractive and does not cause dripping.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention takes the following technical means. That is, according to the present invention, from the front ear engaging portion that engages with the front ear of the eaves, the rear ear engaging portion that engages with the rear ear of the eaves, and the main body that is integrally coupled thereto. And an inner joint that abuts the inside of the eaves and connects the eaves by elastically engaging the front and rear ears of the eaves with the front and rear ear engaging portions, respectively. And a cover connecting structure for the eaves, comprising a cover member covering the joint portion exposed to the outside of the eaves. By doing so, the eaves can be connected with a simple structure, and the eaves can be connected with good appearance without causing dripping.
[0006]
It is preferable that the cover member is an adhesive tape of the same color or the same color as the eaves. By doing so, the seam is hidden and becomes inconspicuous, the appearance is improved, and water leaking from the gap between the contact surfaces of the inner joint and the eaves can be stopped by the adhesive tape.
[0007]
It is preferable that the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape is a film obtained by applying a pressure-sensitive adhesive to a fluorine film or an acrylic film. By doing so, the water resistance is large and the strength is excellent, so that the seam can be hidden for a long period of time.
[0008]
It is preferable that the inner joint is made of a synthetic resin having elasticity. For example, by using a molded product such as hard vinyl chloride resin, acrylic resin, polycarbonate resin or the like as the inner joint, the front ear engaging portion of the inner joint and the front ear of the eaves are also connected to the rear ear of the inner joint. Since the joint portion and the rear ear of the eaves are elastically engaged, and the inner joint itself has an elastic restoring force, it can be elastically contacted inside the eaves and can be firmly connected.
[0009]
Furthermore, it is preferable that the contact surface of the eaves rod and the inner joint is bonded with an adhesive. In this way, the eaves are connected to each other with the structure described above, and the seam is filled with an adhesive, so that the eaves can be connected more reliably, and water dripping from the seam is also possible. Can be prevented.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a partially transparent perspective view showing a connecting structure for eaves of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the inner joint 1 is made of an elastic synthetic resin and includes a front ear engaging portion 11, a rear ear engaging portion 12, and a main body portion 13, and the main body portion 13 abuts on the inner side of the eaves 3. At the same time, the front ear engaging portion 11 is elastically engaged with the front ear 31 of the eaves rod 3, and the rear ear engaging portion 12 is elastically engaged with the rear ear 32 of the eaves rod 3, so that the inner joint 1 is 3 ends are connected to each other. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3 described above, the adhesive tape 2 of the same color as the eaves 3 is pasted and covered on the joint S between the ends exposed outside the eaves 3.
[0011]
FIG. 4 is a front view showing the connecting structure of the eaves of the present embodiment, which is covered with the above-described adhesive tape 2 so as to make the joint S inconspicuous. Usually, by setting the width of the adhesive tape 2 of the same color as the eaves rod 3 to about 1 cm, the seam S is hidden and becomes inconspicuous, and water leaking from the gap between the contact surfaces of the inner joint 1 and the eaves rod 3 is adhered. Water can be stopped by the tape 2. In the present embodiment, if the inner joint 1 and the inner contact surface of the eaves ridge 3 are further bonded with an adhesive, the ends of the eaves 3 are connected to each other with the adhesive, and the joint S Also, the adhesive is filled to prevent water leakage. By doing so, it is possible to improve the appearance by hiding the joint S between the end portions exposed to the outside of the eaves cage 3, and also prevent dripping from the joint S.
[0012]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, the invention described in claim 1 is as described above, and particularly includes a cover member that covers the seam S portion exposed to the outside of the eaves cage 3. In this way, the eaves 3 can be connected to each other with a simple structure, and an eaves connection structure with good appearance can be provided without dripping.
[0013]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, the cover member is an adhesive tape 2 having the same color or the same color as the eaves 3. By doing so, in addition to the effect of the invention of claim 1, the seam S is hidden and is not noticeable, the appearance is improved, and water leaks from the gap between the contact surfaces of the inner joint 1 and the eaves 3 Can be stopped by the adhesive tape 2.
[0014]
In the invention according to claim 3, the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 2 is obtained by applying a pressure-sensitive adhesive to a fluorine-based film or an acrylic film. By doing so, in addition to the effect of the invention according to claim 2, the water resistance of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 2 is increased and the strength is excellent, so that the seam does not stand out over a long period of time. S can be hidden.
[0015]
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, the inner joint 1 is made of a synthetic resin having elasticity. By doing in this way, in addition to the effect of the invention of claim 1, the front ear engaging portion 11 of the inner joint 1 and the front ear 31 of the eaves rod 3 are also engaged with the rear ear of the inner joint 1. Since the portion 12 and the rear ear 32 of the eaves rod 3 are elastically engaged, and the inner joint 1 itself has an elastic restoring force, it can be elastically contacted to the inside of the eaves rod 3 and can be firmly connected .
[0016]
In the invention according to claim 5, the contact surface between the eaves rod 3 and the inner joint 1 is bonded by an adhesive. By doing in this way, in addition to the effect of the invention of claim 1, the eaves rods 3 are connected to each other with the structure described above, and the seam S is also filled with an adhesive, and more reliably, The eaves bowl 3 can be connected and water dripping from the joint S can also be prevented.
