For example, the opening holding means 8 inserts the standing seam 9 into the opening 7 in a normal state, and holds the opening 7 so that the opening 7 can be closed when the standing seam 9 is sandwiched between the openings 7 . It can be configured such that a predetermined deformation from the open state to the closed state is possible. In this case, for example, the opening holding means 8 may be configured to have spring properties so that the roof snow guard 1 can be reversibly deformed between the open state and the closed state of the opening 7 . When the opening holding means 8 is not pressurized, the snow stopper 1 for the roof is attached once by changing from the closed state to the open state by the spring property of the opening holding means 8 and holding the open state. Even if it is removed later, the mounting work can be performed again from that state.

The roof snow guard 1 can have the same structure as a conventional roof snow guard except for having an opening holding means 8 . That is, the opening holding means 8 may be provided in the basic structure of a conventional roof snow stopper in which a standing seam is sandwiched by a plurality of members. An example of the basic configuration of the roof snow guard 1 is as follows, but not all of the configurations are essential and the present invention is not limited to these.

The roof snow guard 1 is, for example, as shown in FIGS. 2, a half blade portion 4 and a half grip portion 5 are provided so as to be bilaterally symmetrical with the first member 2, so that the two half grip portions 5, 5 can be joined together, and the half blade portions 4, 4 side is the front, the second member 3 is combined with the first member 2 by deploying both half blade portions 4 and 4 to the left and right sides of the front surface, and the first member 2 and the second member 3 are combined to form both An opening 7 for sandwiching a vertical seam 9 of a vertical flat roof formed by the bottoms 6, 6 of the half-gripped portions 5, 5 is provided.

From the lateral central portion of both blade halves 4, 4 to the front side portions of both halves gripping portions 5, 5, a reinforcing uneven surface portion 10 is integrally formed. The uneven surface 10 enhances the overall strength of the half blades 4, 4 and the half grips 5, 5. As shown in FIG.

This deterrent part 11 is grounded on the sloped surface of the roof and exerts a force capable of resisting the lifting force due to accumulated snow.

A concave hole portion 12 is provided at an intermediate portion between the two half-holding portions 5, 5 as a slit whose upper side is open when the roof side is facing downward at the time of installation. A long fallen L-shaped member is hooked in this recessed hole portion 12 after installation work.

Concavo-convex portions 13 are formed on the front and rear side portions of the two half grip portions 5 , 5 . This uneven surface portion 13 extends from both blade halves 4, 4 to both gripping halves 5, 5 and continues to the uneven surface portion 10 described above.

A tightening portion 14 is formed from the uneven surface portion 13 on the rear side surface portion of the two half grip portions 5, 5 to the bottom portion 6. As shown in FIG. An opening 7 into which the standing seam portion 9 is inserted is formed between the tightening portions 14 . The bottom portion 6 of the tightening portion 14 is provided with corrugated portions 15 that face each other inwardly. are in a relationship of opposition to each other.

An upper reinforcing portion 16 is provided which is bent at a right angle and integrally formed over the upper ends of the blade halves 4, 4 and the gripping halves 5, 5. As shown in FIG.

Both grip halves 5 , 5 are joined by joining means 17 . The joining means is composed of bolts 18 and nuts 19, for example. A bolt 18 is inserted through the through hole 20 and a nut 19 is screwed thereon. The joining means 17 is screwed when clamping the standing seam portion 9 . When the bolt 18 and the nut 19 are in a loose state when the bolt 18 and the nut 19 are not completely tightened, the tightened state is when the bolt 18 and the nut 19 are completely tightened, and when the joining means 17 is in a loose state. Furthermore, the opening 7 is held by the opening holding means 8 in an open state in which the standing seam 9 can be inserted in a state in which the first member 2 and the second member 3 are tightly joined without rattling, When the joining means 17 is in the fastened state, the opening 7 is closed to hold the standing seam portion 9 in the closed state.

As described above, the roof snow stopper 1 of this embodiment includes the first member 2, the second member 3 that is combined with the first member 2, and the first member 2 and the second member 3 that are combined to form both members. The first member 2 and the second member 3 have a looseness in the opening 7 for sandwiching the standing seam 9 (see FIG. 6) of the vertical flat roof formed by the bottoms 6, 6 of the members 2, 3. and an opening holding means 8 for holding an open state in which the vertical seam 9 can be inserted while being tightly joined without sticking.

In this case, the opening 7 can be kept open while the first member 2 and the second member 3 are tightly joined together without rattling. A standing seam 9 can be inserted into 7 . This simplifies the process of attaching the roof snow guard 1 to the roof, and reduces the work burden on the attachment operator.

Further, the roof snow guard 1 of this embodiment is provided with a joining means 17 for joining the first member 2 and the second member 3, and when the joining means 17 is in a relaxed state, the opening 7 is kept open. When the joining means 17 is in the fastened state, the opening 7 is closed to hold the standing seam portion 9 in the closed state.

In this case, the vertical seam portion 9 is inserted into the opening 7 without loosening the bolt 18 and nut 19, which are the connecting means 17, and after the insertion, the bolt 18 and nut 19 are simply tightened. The process of loosening the joining means 17 can be omitted, and the mounting work of the roof snow guard 1 to the roof is simplified.

(Embodiment) Roof snow stopper provided with claws In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3 has a claw portion 22 that abuts on the inner side of the side surface 21'. By configuring the claw portion 22 to elastically deform between the open state and the closed state of the opening portion 7, the opening holding means 8 can realize a configuration having spring properties. On the other hand, once the roof snow stopper 1 is attached, it is rarely removed, so the claw portion 22 may be plastically deformed. However, even if the claw portion 22 is plastically deformed, the roof snow stopper 1 can be reused by reversibly returning the claw portion 22 to its original state. In the above basic configuration, the opening holding means 8 is formed on the side surface 21 of the semi-gripped portion 5 of the first member 2, and the tip portion 23 abuts the inside of the side surface 21' of the semi-gripped portion 5 of the second member 3. A claw portion 22 is provided.

In this embodiment, a recessed hole portion 12 is formed as a slit with an upper side open on the side surface 21 of the first member 2, and on both sides of the slit 12, claw portions 22 bent inward are formed on the first member. 2 may be integrally formed. Here, the side where the first member 2 contacts the second member 3 is the inner side. The claw portion 22 can be formed integrally with the first member 2 by, for example, punching while leaving the shape of the claw portion 22 . After punching, the claw portion 22 is bent inward. In the above-described basic configuration, the recessed hole portion 12 is formed as a slit with an upper side open on the side surface 21 of the semi-grip portion 5 of the first member 2, and the inwardly bent claws are provided on both sides of the slit 12. A portion 22 is integrally formed with the semi-grip portion 5 .

Further, in this embodiment, the claw portion 22 may be formed so that the width gradually narrows from the root portion 26 connected to the first member 2 to the tip portion 23 that contacts the side surface 21' of the second member 3. . By tapering the width, it is possible to reduce deterioration due to consumption of the manufacturing mold. The width of the base portion 26 of the claw portion 22 is preferably adjusted so that the claw portion 22 has predetermined strength and deformation force. In the above basic configuration, the claw portion 22 is formed so that the width gradually narrows from the root portion 26 connected to the semi-gripped portion 5 to the tip portion 23 that contacts the semi-gripped portion 5 of the second member 3. .

In this embodiment, the opening holding means 8 further includes a projecting piece 24 projecting inwardly from the front and rear of the upper side of one of the side surfaces 21, 21' of the first member 2 and the second member 3, and the other member. A through hole 25 into which the projecting piece 24 is inserted and locked may be provided in the front and rear of the upper portions of the two and three side surfaces 21 and 21'. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the protruding piece 24 projects inward and is bent upward. (When the projecting piece 24 is formed on the side surface 21 of the first member 2), it abuts and is locked in the passage 25. As shown in FIG. The through hole 25 is not particularly limited, but is preferably positioned above the distal end portion 23 of the claw portion 22, and is preferably provided in front and rear portions with the claw portion 22 sandwiched therebetween. In the above-described basic configuration, the opening holding means 8 includes projecting pieces 24 projecting inwardly at the front and back of the upper portion of one half-grip portion 5 and projecting pieces 24 inserted at the front and rear of the upper portion of the other half-grip portion 5. and an opening 25 to be locked.

As shown in FIG. 5, when the joining means 17 is in a relaxed state, the claw 22 abuts against the second member 3 and the projecting piece 24 is inserted and locked into the passage 25 so that the opening is closed. 7 is held in an open state in which the standing seam portion 9 can be inserted while the first member 2 and the second member 3 are tightly joined without rattling. Furthermore, by tightening the connecting means 17, the abutting portion between the claw portion 22 and the second member 3 is the fulcrum, the insertion locking portion between the projecting piece 24 and the passage 25 is the point of action, and the fastening portion of the connecting means 17 is moved. , the opening 7 can be deformed into a closed state by the principle of leverage, and as shown in FIG. It is held in a pinching closed state. At this time, since the claw portion 22 is deformed by the pressure and returns to the position before being bent, there is no problem with the appearance.

Although the present invention has been described above based on the embodiments and examples, the present invention can be modified in various ways. For example, the opening holding means 8 may have any configuration as long as it can hold the open state of the opening 7 and allow the predetermined deformation of the opening 7 from the open state to the closed state. . Also, for example, the shape, position, and number of the claw portions 22 are not limited to those of the above embodiment. Alternatively, the claw portion 22 may be formed separately from the first member 2 and attached to the first member 2 . In addition, the basic structure of the roof snow guard 1 can be any structure as long as the standing seam 9 is sandwiched by a plurality of members. It may be a wing portion, or may be composed only of half-grip portions 5, 5 that sandwich the standing seam portion 9 without the half-wing portions 4, 4.
