Means for Solving the Problems The present invention has been made to solve the above problems and achieve the above object.
A downspout support device comprising a holding tool and an attachment tool, wherein the holding tool is provided with a pair of elastic pieces at both ends of a short body and a round hole at the center. The attachment has a size such that the tip of the rod-shaped body passes through the round hole of the holder, and a projection having a size not passing through the round hole of the holder is provided on a side surface of the tip. The rear end portion is a mounting portion to be mounted on the fixed surface,
A cutout portion is provided in a part of the periphery of the round hole of the holder, through which the projection of the attachment passes, and the distance from the tip of the attachment to the rear side of the projection is a pair of the holder. The distance from the front of the peripheral edge of the round hole of the holder to the side wall of the downspout when the downspout is sandwiched by the holding pieces is made slightly larger.

[0005] In particular, in the case of a downspout support for attaching a downspout provided with a pair of locking grooves longer in the longitudinal direction on the indoor side than the position of the maximum diameter when viewed from the front, the length of the holding tool Is shorter than the maximum diameter of the downspout as viewed from the front, and a pair of holding pieces provided at both ends of the holding tool are inserted into a pair of locking grooves, respectively, so that a space between the pair of locking grooves is formed. It is preferable to attach the downspout by holding the side wall of the downspout. The holding piece used in the present invention is made of an elastic material. The elastic material is a material which is deformed by applying a force and then returns to its original state when the force is removed, such as synthetic resin, rubber, metal, etc. Is a preferred material. Therefore, when the holding piece made of the elastic body is released after being expanded, it returns to its original state.

[0006]

The operation of the present invention will be described according to the procedure of the method of use. In the method of attaching a downspout with the downspout support of the present invention, first, an attachment portion provided at the rear end of the attachment is attached to a fixed surface such as a wall. Then, the distal end of the rod-shaped attachment is projected from the surface to be fixed and attached. Next, the tip of the attachment is inserted into the round hole such that the protrusion provided on the side surface of the tip of the attachment passes through the cutout of the round hole. Thereafter, the holder is rotated. Then
Since the projection moves to a place other than the notch, the holder cannot be removed. Although the holder is attached after the attachment is attached to the surface to be fixed, the attachment may be attached to the surface to be fixed after attaching the holder to the attachment.

Next, the downspout is pressed against the holder to expand the pair of holding pieces made of the elastic body of the holding tool, and the downspout is put into this and released, and the pair of holding pieces are elastically moved. As the distance is reduced, the holding pieces hold the downspout. The state in which the downspout is sandwiched by the downspout supports will be described in more detail. The holding piece is expanded and the downspout is put into a pair of holding pieces.
Then, the tip of the attachment projecting forward from the round hole of the holder comes into contact with the side wall of the downspout.

Next, when the holding piece is pulled back to the front, the holding piece cannot be pulled back because the projection cannot pass through the round hole. However, forcibly pulling back the holding piece and inserting it into the locking groove of the downspout, the force that has spread the holding piece is removed. Then, the distance from the tip of the mounting tool to the rear side of the projection is slightly larger than the distance from the round hole periphery of the holding tool to the side wall of the downspout when the pair of holding pieces of the holding tool hold the downspout. Then, the tip of the mounting tool presses the side wall of the downspout, the holding piece sandwiches the downspout, and the downspout is attached by the holder. In this way, the tip of the attachment projecting from the round hole provided at the center of the pair of holding pieces presses the side wall of the eaves gutter, and the gutter is attached to the gutter support. The downspout does not vibrate due to wind or the like, and no sound is generated.

Further, when attaching an eaves gutter provided with a locking groove longer than the maximum diameter on the indoor side as viewed from the front, a gutter support having a holder shorter than the maximum diameter of the gutter. In the same manner as described above, a pair of holding pieces of this holder are respectively inserted into a pair of locking grooves of the vertical gutter, the side walls between the locking grooves are sandwiched, and the vertical gutter is attached. When viewed from the front, the retainer is hidden by the largest diameter portion of the downspout and becomes invisible, so that this portion is refreshed and beautiful.
