DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numerals 1a and 1b denote a pair of support members formed in a substantially semicircular shape. The wide elastic piece 2 is curved inward, and the two pieces on both sides are bent outward to form an annular portion 3. The elastic piece 2 is provided with a rib 2a which bulges inward, and its tip is bent outward.

Reference numerals 4a and 4b denote ribs bulging outward so as to form recesses 13 along the longitudinal direction on the inner peripheral surfaces of the supports 1a and 1b. 5 is a part of the rib 4a of one support 1a shown in FIG.
It is a pressing piece cut and raised as shown in (a).

In FIG. 2B, reference numeral 6 denotes an annular portion bent at one end of the other support 1b.
A pin 7 is inserted into one of the annular portions 3 of 1a, and both supports 1a, 1b
Is hinged so that it can be opened and closed freely.
The fitting portion 8 fitted to the other annular portion 3 of the support 1a as shown in FIG.
And a locking piece 9 that can be locked to the annular portion 3 so that the closed state of the supports 1a and 1b can be maintained.

Numeral 10 is a fixture consisting of a nail rod protruding from a convex portion 11 formed on the back surface of one of the supports 1a. The tip of the fixture 10 is driven into a wall or the like to be fixed.

The downspout support according to the present embodiment is constructed as described above, and this example of use will now be described.

First, a plurality of fixtures 10 are driven into a wall surface or the like at predetermined intervals and fixed, and then, with the other support 1b opened as shown in FIG. 1a is mounted from the front side against the elastic force of the elastic piece 2. In this case, since the tip of the elastic piece 2 is bent outward, the work of mounting the downspout 12 can be easily performed.

As a result, the side surface of the downspout 12 is securely held by receiving the pressing force by the elastic piece 2 and the pressing piece 5 via the rib 2a. Even if is released, the downspout 12 does not separate from the support 1a, so that a series of downspout mounting operations can be performed extremely easily.

Further, since the elastic piece 2 and the pressing piece 5 are each curved inward, they can be suitably supported on various downspouts 12 having different pipe diameters. Is extensive.

Thereafter, the other support 1b is rotated and closed, and the fitting portion 8 is fitted into the annular portion 3 of the one support 1a as shown in FIG. If the stopper 9 is locked, the downspout 12 will be supported by external fitting. Also a downspout
When the outer diameter of 12 is large, the elastic piece 2
It enters into the recess 13 and is stored. That is, support
The ribs 4b for reinforcement of the body 1b also function to store the elastic pieces 2.
Of the downspout 12 supported by the supports 1a, 1b
The diameter may be limited by the presence of the elastic piece 2.

Since the elastic piece 2 and the annular portion 3 in the downspout support of this embodiment are formed by extending both ends of one support 1a, the number of parts is large. There is an advantage that it can be easily and inexpensively manufactured without becoming unnecessary.

In the above embodiment, one of the supports is used.
The elastic piece 2 is integrally formed by extending both ends of 1a. However, such an elastic piece 2 may be formed as a separate body. In this case, a spring material or the like is attached to both ends of the support 1a by welding or the like. What is necessary is just to fix the elastic piece 2 which becomes.

The holding means for maintaining the closed state by the supports 1a and 1b is not limited to the embodiment.

Further, in the above embodiment, the other support 1b is provided with the rib 4b into which the elastic piece 2 can enter, but instead of this rib 4b, a concave groove is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the support 1b. The recess 13
It may be a.

The elastic piece 2 does not necessarily need to be provided with the rib 2a, but may be provided as needed.

In addition, the specific structure of the hinges and the fixing device 10 for connecting the supports 1a and 1b to be freely opened and closed can be freely changed within the range intended by the present invention.

[0026]

As described above, in the present invention, one support is provided with an inward pressing piece, and at both ends an elastic piece capable of pressing the side surface of the downspout to be supported is provided. The attached downspout will be reliably supported by the elastic force of the pressing piece and the elastic piece, and will not be detached from one of the supports even if the worker releases the holding state of the downspout. A special effect that can greatly contribute to the gutter installation work has been achieved.

Moreover, the pressure piece and the elastic piece having elastic force can be applied to various downspouts having different pipe diameters, and the applicable range is further enhanced as compared with the case where only the elastic piece is provided. It has the unique effect of being widespread. In particular, in the present invention, the front surface is provided on the inner peripheral surface of the other support.
Because the elastic piece is provided with a concave portion into which the elastic piece can enter,
The diameter of the downspout can be controlled by the elastic piece.
You don't have to get about .
