The connecting portion 24 is provided with a hole portion 25 through which the tip portion 35a of the mounting foot portion 35 can be inserted, and a locking receiving portion 26 that communicates with the hole portion 25 and allows the locking portion 36 to be inserted.
The details will be described below.

In the gutter support 1 shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the fixing member 2 and the support member 3 are formed as separate bodies. The overall shape of the fixing member 2 shown in FIG. 2A is a long plate extending in the vertical direction. The upper and lower portions of the fixing member 2 are fixing portions 21 and 21 that abut on the wall surface 4. The fixing portion 21 is formed with a plurality of insertion holes 22 through which a fixing tool such as a screw is inserted. Further, a groove portion 23 extending in the vertical direction is provided on the back surface of the fixing portion 21 (see FIGS. 2 (b) to 2 (d)). A water thread S used for positioning when fixing the fixing member 2 described later to the wall surface 4 passes through the groove portion 23.

A connecting portion 24 formed by being bent so as to project forward is provided between the fixing portions 21 and 21. A circular hole 25 penetrating in the front-rear direction is formed near the center of the connecting portion 24. Then, a locking receiving portion 26 that communicates with the hole portion 25 and allows the locking portion 36 described later to be inserted is provided. The locking receiving portion 26 is a rectangular concave groove formed outward in the width direction from the hole portion 25. On the back surface of the connecting portion 24, a guide portion 27 that is inclined rearward from the locking receiving portion 26 along the edge 25a of the hole portion 25 is provided. A flat surface 27a, which is a surface substantially parallel to the front surface of the connecting portion 24, is formed at the end of the guide portion 27 (see FIG. 2E).

The holding portion 31 of the support member 3 shown in FIG. 3 has a shape that matches the shape of the downspout 5. In the present embodiment, the holding portion 31 is formed in a substantially circular ring shape by processing a strip material, and the substantially semicircular main body portion 32 and the lid portion 33 can be opened and closed via the hinge portion 34. They are connected (see FIG. 3A). A locking end 32a is formed at the end of the main body 32, and a locking receiving end 33a having a hole for locking the locking end 32a is formed at the end of the lid 33. .. Further, the main body portion 32 and the lid portion 33 are formed with reinforcing ribs 32b and 33b protruding outward along the longitudinal direction.

Then, when the locking portion 36 passes through the locking receiving portion 26, the support member 3 is rotated in the axial direction of the mounting foot portion 35. The locking portion 36 moves rearward from the locking receiving portion 26 along the guide portion 27. Then, the locking portion 36 reaches the flat surface 27a of the guide portion 27, the locking portion 36 is sandwiched between the guide portion 27 and the wall surface 4, and the support member 3 is fixed to the fixing member 2 (FIG. 4 (c). ), (E)).

When the support member 3 is connected to the fixing member 2, the downspout 5 is installed. The lid 33 of the holding portion 31 is opened, and the downspout 5 is installed in the main body 32. When the gutter 5 is installed, the gutter 5 is supported by the gutter support 1 by closing the lid 33 to close the gutter 5.

In the present embodiment, the support member 3 is rotated by about 90 degrees after the tip portion 35a and the locking portion 36 of the mounting foot portion 35 are inserted into the hole portion 25 and the locking receiving portion 26 of the fixing member 2. Then, the support member 3 is connected to the fixing member 2. At this time, the position of the locking portion 36 is determined so that the holding portion 31 is in a substantially horizontal state as shown in FIG. 1B and the downspout 5 can be held.

Next, another embodiment of the gutter support 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. The above-described embodiment is referred to as the first embodiment, and the description of the parts common to the first embodiment will be omitted.
In the gutter support 1 of the second embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the guide portion 27 as in the first embodiment is not provided on the back surface of the connecting portion 24 of the fixing member 2, and instead, a hemispherical fitting is provided. A gutter 28 is provided. A fitting receiving portion 36a, which is a hemispherical recess into which the fitting portion 28 is fitted, is formed on the surface of the support member 3 on the holding portion 31 side of the locking portion 36. Further, the mounting foot portion 35 is formed with a holding portion 37 protruding outward in the radial direction of the mounting foot portion 35 at a distance from the locking portion 36 toward the holding portion 31 side. The holding portion 37 projects in a ring shape outward in the radial direction of the mounting foot portion 35, and the distance between the locking portion 36 and the holding portion 37 in the front-rear direction is formed to be substantially the same as the thickness of the connecting portion 24. ..

A method of connecting the support member 3 to the fixing member 2 will be described. The tip portion 35a of the mounting foot portion 35 of the support member 3 is inserted into the hole portion 25 of the fixing member 2, and the locking portion 36 is inserted along the locking receiving portion 26 of the fixing member 2 (see FIG. 5C). Then, when the holding portion 37 comes into contact with the front surface of the connecting portion 24, the support member 3 is rotated in the axial direction of the mounting foot portion 35. When the locking portion 36 comes into contact with the fitting portion 28 provided on the back surface of the connecting portion 24, the locking portion 36 rides on the fitting portion 28 and reaches the fitting receiving portion 36a provided on the locking portion 36. The fitting portion 28 is fitted (see FIG. 5D). As a result, the support member 3 is connected to the fixing member 2.

As shown in FIG. 5D, in the second embodiment, the locking portion 36 does not come into contact with the wall surface 4, and the locking portion 36 and the holding portion 37 cooperate with each other to fix the locking portion 36 to the supporting member 3. 2 is fixed. Further, the operator can determine that the locking portion 36 has been rotated to the fixed position by the feeling when the fitting portion 28 is fitted to the fitting receiving portion 36a and the fitting sound such as “click”.

The gutter support 1 of the third embodiment shown in FIG. 6 is provided with a guide portion 27 on the back surface of the connecting portion 24 as in the first embodiment. Further, the mounting foot portion 35 is formed with a holding portion 37 at a distance from the locking portion 36 toward the holding portion 31 side. The sandwiching portion 37 may have the same shape as the sandwiching portion 37 of the second embodiment, but in the present embodiment, a pair of plate-shaped sandwiching portions 37 are formed as in the locking portion 36. The width dimension of the sandwiching portion 37 is formed to be larger than the vertical dimension of the locking receiving portion 26 so that the sandwiching portion 37 does not pass through the locking receiving portion 26.

The holding portion 31 and the mounting foot portion 35 of the first and second embodiments are connected in a fixed state, but in the present embodiment, the holding portion 31 is rotatably connected to the mounting foot portion 35. (See Z1 in FIG. 6A). As a result, the holding portion 31 is in a horizontal state in which the downspout 5 can be held without being affected by the amount of rotation of the mounting foot portion 35 when the mounting foot portion 35 is connected to the fixing member 2. The inclination of the holding portion 31 can be adjusted.

Next, a method of connecting the fixing member 2 and the supporting member 3 will be described.
The tip portion 35a of the mounting foot portion 35 of the support member 3 is inserted into the hole portion 25 of the fixing member 2, and the locking portion 36 is inserted along the locking receiving portion 26 of the fixing member 2. Then, by rotating the mounting foot portion 35 in the axial direction, the locking portion 36 moves rearward from the locking receiving portion 26 along the guide portion 27. As the locking portion 36 moves, the entire mounting foot portion 35 also moves rearward, and the holding portion 37 comes into contact with the front surface of the connecting portion 24. Then, by continuing the rotational operation of the mounting foot portion 35 in the axial direction, the locking portion 36 reaches the flat surface 27a of the guide portion 27, and the connecting portion 24 is moved by the cooperation between the locking portion 36 and the holding portion 37. It is tightened from the front and back (see Z2 in FIG. 6A). As a result, the support member 3 is firmly connected to the fixing member 2. When the support member 3 is sandwiched between the fixing members 2, the angle of the holding portion 31 is adjusted so that the holding portion 31 can hold the downspout 5 in the horizontal state shown in FIG. 6 (b).

If the thickness between the front surface of the connecting portion 24 and the flat surface 27a of the guide portion 27 is designed to be slightly larger than the dimension between the locking portion 36 and the holding portion 37 of the mounting foot portion 35. , The tightening of the connecting portion 24 is strengthened by the cooperation between the locking portion 36 and the holding portion 37, and the support member 3 is more firmly connected to the fixing member 2.

As shown in each of the above-described embodiments, in the gutter support 1 of the present invention, the tip portion 35a and the locking portion 36 of the mounting foot portion 35 are inserted into the hole portion 25 and the locking receiving portion 26 of the connecting portion 24. The support member 3 can be easily connected to the fixing member 2 by rotating the member after the guttering. Therefore, when fixing the fixing member 2 to the wall surface 4, tools such as an electric screwdriver are less likely to interfere with each other, and the support member 3 can be easily connected to the fixing member 2 after the fixing member 2 is fixed to the wall surface 4.

The configuration of the gutter support 1 is not limited to each of the above-described embodiments. For example, the holding portion 31 may have a shape that matches the shape of the downspout 5, and if the downspout 5 is a square gutter, it may be formed into a shape that matches the shape. Further, the holding portion 31 may have only the main body portion 32 having no lid portion 33. Further, the characteristic items of each embodiment may be combined with the gutter support 1 of the other embodiment. For example, the fixed state connection between the holding portion 31 and the mounting foot portion 35 of the first embodiment may be rotatably connected as in the third embodiment. Further, in the first and third embodiments, the flat surface 27a of the guide portion 27 may not be formed and may be inclined as it is. Further, the guide portion 27 is not limited to being formed so as to project from the back surface of the connecting portion 24. For example, as shown in the rear view of the connecting portion 24 in FIG. 7, a curved notch c is made from the outer end portion in the width direction of the locking receiving portion 26 so as to be parallel to the edge 25a of the hole portion 25. The inclined guide portion 27 may be formed by putting it in a sill and cutting it forward.

Further, in each embodiment, a detent portion that protrudes rearward may be provided on the back surface of the connecting portion 24. When the locking portion 36 comes into contact with the detent portion, the support member 3 is prevented from rotating more than necessary, and the support member 3 is easily connected to the fixing member 2 in an appropriate positional relationship.

The fitting portion 28 of the second embodiment may be provided with a convex portion that projects further rearward at the center thereof, and the fitting receiving portion 36a may be provided with a concave portion corresponding to the convex portion. As a result, the feel and fitting sound when the fitting portion 28 and the convex portion are fitted to the fitting receiving portion 36a and the concave portion become clearer, and the operator can tell that the support member 3 has reached the fixed position. Is easier to distinguish. Further, the fitting portion and the fitting receiving portion are not limited to those described above. For example, a fitting portion is provided on the front surface of the connecting portion 24, and the shape of the holding portion 37 is substantially the same as that of the locking portion 36. , A fitting receiving portion may be provided on the surface on the locking portion 36 side. Further, in the second embodiment, the fitting portion 28 and the fitting receiving portion 36a may not be provided.

The holding portion 31 and the mounting foot portion 35 of the third embodiment may be connected in a fixed state as in the first and second embodiments. In that case, as in the first embodiment, the tip portion 35a and the locking portion 36 of the mounting foot portion 35 are rotated by about 90 degrees after being inserted into the hole portion 25 and the locking receiving portion 26. The support member 3 may be fixed to the fixing member 2, and the holding portion 31 may be designed to be in a substantially horizontal state so that the downspout 5 can be held. Further, even if the locking portion 36 does not reach the flat surface 27a of the guide portion 27, the support member 3 may be connected to the fixing member 2 by the cooperation between the locking portion 36 and the holding portion 37. good.
