  A stepped connecting piece 12a is formed in the front portion of the mounting rod 12, and a shaft hole 12aa through which the bolt 15 is inserted is formed in the connecting piece 12a.

  On the other hand, the hanger main body 11 has a connection portion 11a disposed below the connection piece 12a of the attachment rod 12 and an ear hook for hooking the ear portion 1a of the rain gutter 1 disposed before and after the connection portion 11a. The structure has a portion 11b.

  A long hole 11aa is formed in the connecting portion 11a along the longitudinal direction, and uneven portions 11ab for preventing slip are formed on both sides in the width direction. By adjusting the position of the connecting piece 12a of the attachment rod 12 with respect to the long hole 11aa of the hanging tool body 11, the condition of the rain gutter 1 can be adjusted.

  The rain gutter suspension 10 shown in the present embodiment fixes the hanger body 11 by screwing a wing nut 20 onto a bolt 15 through which the elongated hole 11aa of the hanger body 11 and the shaft hole 12aa of the attachment rod 12 are inserted. It has a structure that can be done.

  The detailed structure of this wing nut 20 is demonstrated based on FIGS.

  FIG. 2 shows a nut main body 21 (hereinafter referred to as a nut main body A with a washer) to which a spring washer body 23 is fixed, which is a part of the components of the wing nut 20 used in the rain gutter suspension 10 shown in FIG. FIG. 2A is a longitudinal sectional view showing a state before the spring washer body 23 is fastened to the nut body 21, and FIG. 2B is a formed nut body with a washer. It is a longitudinal cross-sectional view of A.

  3A is a plan view of the nut main body A with washer shown in FIG. 2B, and FIG. 3B is a bottom view thereof. FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view of a nut used in the rain gutter suspension 10 shown in FIG. FIG. 5 is a plan view of the nut. FIG. 6 is a front view showing another example of the nut.

  The wing nut 20 used in the present embodiment uses a nut body 21 (a nut body A with a washer) to which a spring washer body 23 is fixed as a constituent member.

  The spring washer body 23 uses a bowl washer that has openings 23a, 23a on the top and bottom and has a hook shape. The caulked portion of the nut main body 21 formed of a caulking nut with respect to the upper opening 23a. 21a is inserted and crimped so that the caulking portion 21a is expanded with respect to the opening edge of the spring washer body 23, and the nut body 21 is fixed to the spring washer body 23, thereby forming the nut body A with washer (see FIG. 2, see FIG.

  The wing nut 20 of the present embodiment is formed by embedding a portion of the nut body 21 of the washer-equipped nut body A in a synthetic resin molded body 22. That is, the wing nut 20 is formed by integrally molding (insert molding) by injecting a synthetic resin having a predetermined hardness when the metal nut body 21 is inserted into a mold and then cured.

  The synthetic resin molded body 22 thus molded has a ship shape with an upper opening, and is disposed at the bottom of the ship-like body, and is opposed to two directions centering on a nut housing portion 24 housing the nut body 21. The knob portion 25 is provided so as to be operated with fingers (see FIGS. 4 and 5). An opening 24 a through which the shaft portion of the bolt 15 screwed into the screw hole 21 b of the nut body 21 is inserted is formed in the upper portion of the nut housing portion 24.

  According to such a wing nut 20, the nut main body 21, the knob portion 25 for operating with fingers, and the spring washer body 23 arranged on the head side (screwing direction) of the nut main body 21 are fixedly integrated. Therefore, it is possible to attach and fix the hanger body 11 to the attachment rod 12 in a use state without using a separate spring washer. As a result, it is possible to efficiently perform the attaching operation of the rain gutter suspension 10. Of course, since the structure includes the spring washer body 23, a sufficient loosening prevention effect can be obtained.

  In addition, since the wing nut 20 includes the spring washer body 23 as a unit, the number of parts can be reduced, which can contribute to cost reduction and labor saving in inventory management. Furthermore, since the wing nut 20 is formed by insert molding, the manufacturing cost can be reduced and the cost can be further reduced.

  The rain gutter suspension 10 shown in the present embodiment is configured to use the wing nut 20 and the bolt 15 as described above as a fixing member for fixing the hanger main body 11 to the attachment rod 12 fixed to the eaves. Therefore, the suspension body 11 of the eaves fixing type rain gutter suspension 10 can be fixed to the eaves without loosening. In particular, as shown in the present embodiment, one that can slidably fix the suspension body 11 with respect to the attachment rod 12 and adjust the output condition is effective because fine adjustment can be performed by finger operation.

  In this embodiment, a mountain washer is used as the spring washer body 23. However, the present invention is not limited to this. When the nut main body 21 and the bolt 15 are screwed together, loosening can be prevented by the elastic return force of the spring. Any shape and structure may be used.

  FIG. 6 is a front view showing another example of the nut. Since this spring washer body 23 is formed with one slit 23a that runs up and down the main body, when the wing nut 20 is tightened, a higher elastic force can be generated. The other components such as the knob are the same as those shown in FIG.

  Moreover, although the eaves fixed type thing was shown as a rain gutter hanging tool in this embodiment, as long as a hanging tool main body is fixed with the wing nut 20 comprised as mentioned above, various other shapes and structures are possible. It may be a rain gutter suspension.
