Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

The present invention relates to a connecting rod for connecting an eaves gutter, particularly, an eaves gutter to be connected and connected in a gutter collector to connect the eaves gutter slidably. The present invention relates to a connecting rod for connecting an eaves gutter used for connection.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a connecting rod for connecting an eaves gutter of this type, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 46-32992, the connecting ends of the eaves to be connected and connected are overlapped and bonded. It is generally used to fit into the edge of both eaves gutters which are positioned linearly so that the parts abut each other.

On the other hand, in order to prevent meandering and deformation due to expansion and contraction of the eaves gutter due to a change in temperature, the elongation is absorbed by cutting the eaves gutter in the gutter collector. The end of the eave gutter hangs down due to the load of the gutter collector, and the aesthetic appearance is significantly reduced.
As shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-54504, the eaves gutter is slidably connected by a socket-shaped joint.

[0004]

However, the connecting rod for connecting the eaves gutter is adapted to be fitted to the edge of the eaves gutter while being slid from the lateral direction. On the other hand, a joint having a socket shape is also required. Similarly, there is a problem that the construction is extremely complicated because the connection is made by sliding from the lateral direction.

The present invention has been devised in order to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional product, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a connecting rod for connecting an eaves gutter which is inexpensive and simple in construction.

[0006]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been devised in view of the above, and is provided with an opening along the longitudinal direction so as to be fitted on the outer peripheral surface of the edge of the eaves gutter to be connected. In the connecting rod for eaves gutter connection comprising a short pipe having a substantially horseshoe-shaped cross section, one side edge of the short pipe is formed stepwise so as to be located lower than the opposite other side edge, and both side edges are formed. A connecting rod for connecting an eaves gutter, wherein a bead along a longitudinal direction is formed at a tip portion of the portion.

The bead may have a hollow circular cross section or a solid circle, and the size of the bead may be slid on the edge of the eaves gutter by line contact. Anything that can be performed can be appropriately selected.

[0008]

The connecting rod for connecting the eaves gutter of the present invention is a short pipe having a substantially horseshoe-shaped cross-section having an opening along the longitudinal direction so as to be fitted on the outer peripheral surface of the edge of the eaves gutter to be connected. Since one side edge is formed stepwise so as to be located below the opposing other side edge, and a bead along the longitudinal direction is formed at the tip of both side edges, both eaves gutters The outer edge portion or the inner root portion of the ear edge is brought into contact with the ball edge of one side edge of the connecting rod body, and the edge edge provided on the other side edge is pressed obliquely upward or diagonally downward, so that the ear edge is over the ear edge. Can be fitted by elasticity while sliding.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of a connecting rod for connecting a gutter gutter according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional view of the connecting rod for eaves gutter connection, FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the use state of the connecting rod for eaves gutter connection of the present invention, and FIGS. 4 and 5 show the use of the connecting rod for eaves gutter connection of the present invention. It is explanatory drawing which shows a state.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a short pipe which is a connecting rod main body formed of a hard synthetic resin such as polyvinyl chloride as a raw material, and has an ear edge a of an eave gutter A whose inner peripheral surface is connected. It is formed in a substantially horseshoe cross-section having an opening 2 extending in the longitudinal direction so as to be fitted on the outer peripheral surface. Numeral 5 is a bead formed along the longitudinal direction formed at each end of both side edges 2 and 3 and has a hollow cross section. It consists of a tubular body.

Since the connecting rod for connecting the eaves gutter of the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, it is used as shown in FIGS.
The bead 5 of the one side edge 3 of the short pipe 1 is brought into contact with the outer base of both ear edges a of the eaves gutter A inserted into the insertion openings b formed on both side walls of the gutter collector B. Then, the short tube 1 is rotated about the one side edge 3 as an axis while rotating the short tube 1 by pressing the bead 5 provided on the other side edge 4 obliquely upward. By doing so, it is fitted to the ear edge a by elasticity, or is placed on the ear edge a so that the bead 5 of one side edge 3 of the short tube 1 is located at the inner root of the both ear edges a. Then, the short tube 1 is rotated while sliding on the ear edge a around the one side edge 3 by pressing the ball edge 5 provided on the other side edge portion 4 obliquely downward. By moving, it is fitted to the ear edge a by elasticity.

[0012]

As is apparent from the above description, the connecting rod for connecting the eaves gutter of the present invention has an opening along the longitudinal direction so as to be fitted on the outer peripheral surface of the edge of the eaves gutter to be connected. A short pipe having a substantially horseshoe cross section is formed stepwise so that one side edge of the short pipe is located below the other side edge facing each other, and a bead along the longitudinal direction is formed at the tip of both side edges. The outer edge or inner edge of the edge of both eaves gutters is in contact with the bead of one side edge, and the bead provided on the other side edge is pressed obliquely upward or diagonally downward. Then, since it is fitted by being rotated while sliding about the ball of the one side edge as an axis, it can be easily connected in a gutter collector having a narrow space.
