DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a carport for guiding rainwater on a roof whose inclination angle can be adjusted to a call gutter connected to a downspout.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The roof of a carport is composed of a front frame and a rear frame which are parallel to each other, a side frame which is erected between both ends, and a roofing material, and is supported by pillars. In this state, since the upper surface of the roofing material is inclined upward from the rear frame side supported by the pillar to the front frame side, rainwater on the roofing material flows down to the rear frame side. When collecting and draining rainwater flowing down to the rear frame side at one location of the rear frame, a gutter portion is formed in the rear frame, and the rainwater is guided from the gutter portion to a vertical gutter arranged along a pillar.

[0003] The gutter part of the rear frame and the downspout are connected via a drain and a gutter fixed to the gutter part, and the inclination angle of the roof is set within a certain range according to the site area and site conditions. Since the adjustment is performed by rotation of the rear frame around the axis, the drain and the gutter follow the rotation of the rear frame and the accompanying change in the distance between the fixed part of the drain and the gutter. It needs to be connected in a possible state.

[0004] Since preparing different drains for each set angle of the roof increases the number of types of parts, it has conventionally been dealt with by using expandable bellows for the drains. There is a drawback that the appearance deteriorates when the length arises.

[0005] The present invention proposes a carport having a structure that eliminates the difficulties of bellows from the above background.

[0006]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, when a rear frame of a roof is rotatably supported by a bracket fixed to a column, the lower surface of the rear frame and the inner peripheral surface of the bracket are contacted by an arc surface. Then, the tip of the rear frame drain fixed to the gutter part of the rear frame is loosely fitted into the opening of the nominal gutter drain fixed to the lower surface of the rear frame, thereby adjusting the inclination angle with respect to the bracket and mounting the roof. However, the connection between the rear frame drain and the drain gutter drain is ensured, and drainage from the rear frame drain to the drain gutter drain is ensured.

[0007] When the lower surface of the rear frame and the inner peripheral surface of the bracket are in contact with each other on an arcuate surface, the rear frame and the bracket are connected in such a manner that the inclination angle of the roof can be adjusted freely. By loosely fitting into the drain opening,
Regardless of the change in the inclination angle of the roof, the state where the rear frame drain is swallowed by the priming drain is maintained.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, a rear frame drain is fixed to a gutter portion of the rear frame, and a call gutter drain is detachably fixed to a lower surface of the rear frame, and the rear frame drain is rotated relative to the call gutter drain. The drain is inserted in a permissible state, and the lower surface of the rear frame and the upper surface of the drain gutter are brought into contact with each other by an arc surface, thereby keeping both the drain upper surface and the lower surface of the rear frame in contact regardless of the rotation of the rear frame. Stay connected.

The drain gutter drain has an opening having an area larger than the cross section of the rear frame drain. The rear frame drain penetrates the rear frame, projects from the lower surface, and is inserted into the drain gutter drain through the opening. The drain gutter drain is detachably fixed to the lower surface of the rear frame while the upper surface thereof contacts the lower surface of the rear frame with an arc surface.

[0010] Since the lower surface of the rear frame and the upper surface of the drain gutter are in contact with each other in an arc shape, even when the rear frame rotates around an axis for adjusting the inclination angle of the roof, the rear frame always keeps in contact with each other. . Also, by inserting the rear frame drain from the opening larger than its cross section into the drain gutter,
With the rotation of the rear frame, even if the insertion position of the rear frame drain into the drain gutter drain changes, the rear frame drain remains inserted into the drain gutter drain, and the rear frame drain and the drain gutter drain are connected. To maintain the state.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention is a carport for guiding rainwater on a roof whose inclination angle can be adjusted to a call gutter 5 connected to a downspout 4.

The roof is composed of a front frame and a rear frame 1 parallel to each other, a side frame erected between both ends thereof, and a roofing material 2, and is supported by the pillars 3 in the rear frame 1.

The rear frame 1 has a gutter portion 11, and the rainwater that has flowed down to the gutter portion 11 of the rear frame 1 is guided to a call gutter 5 connected to the vertical gutter 4 as shown in FIG. The gutter part 11 is partially open at the upper part or full length, and receives rainwater flowing down from the roofing material 2 to the rear frame 1 side.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a rear frame drain 6 is fixed to the gutter portion 11 of the rear frame 1, and a call gutter drain 7 connected to the call gutter 5 is detachably fixed to the lower surface 12. The upper surface 72 of the drain gutter 7 contacts the lower surface 12 of the rear frame 1 in a fixed state. The rear frame drain 6 is attached to the gutter 11 near one end of the rear frame 1,
The lower end protrudes from the lower surface 12 of the rear frame 1 toward the drain gutter drain 7 side. The drain gutter drain 7 has an opening 71 having an area larger than the cross section of the rear frame drain 6, and the lower end of the rear frame drain 6 is inserted into the drain gutter drain 7 from the opening 71 and is surrounded by the drain gutter drain 7. The opening 71 has a length corresponding to the distance that the rear frame drain 6 moves in the circumferential direction of the lower surface 12 of the rear frame 1 as the rear frame 1 rotates around the center.

The upper surface 72 of the drain gutter 7 and the lower surface of the rear frame 1
Numerals 12 both form an arc surface centered on the axis of the rear frame 1 and both contact with each other at an arc surface having the same curvature. Adjustment of the inclination angle of the roof is performed by fixing the rear frame 1 to the bracket 8 before fixing the drain gutter 7 while the rear frame drain 6 is fixed to the gutter portion 11.
The upper surface 72 of the drain gutter 7 is attached to the lower surface 12 of the rear frame 1 by rotating the center gutter around the center.
2 and 3, even when the rear frame 1 is rotated, as shown in FIGS. 2 shows a case where the inclination of the roof is small, and FIG. 3 shows a case where the inclination of the roof is large. The inner peripheral surface of the bracket 8 supporting the rear frame 1 also forms the same arc surface as the lower surface 12 of the rear frame 1, and the lower surface 12 of the rear frame 1 always contacts the bracket 8. The rotation of the rear frame 1 is adjusted within the range of the length of the bolt insertion hole 81 of the bracket 8, and the drain gutter 7 is fixed to the lower surface 12 after the angle of the roof is adjusted.

The drain gutter 7 is fixed to the lower surface 12 of the rear frame 1 by a screw 73 penetrating the flange 73 and the lower surface 12. One of the flange 73 through which the screw 10 is inserted and a screw hole of the lower surface 12 is a bracket. 8 is formed in the shape of a long hole like the bolt insertion hole 81.

The call gutter drain 7 and the call gutter 5, and the call gutter 5 and the downspout 4 are connected by an elbow 9.

[0018]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the rear frame of the roof is rotatably supported by the bracket fixed to the column, the lower surface of the rear frame and the inner peripheral surface of the bracket are brought into contact with each other by an arc surface, and the rear frame is formed. In order to allow the tip of the rear frame drain fixed to the gutter part of the rear frame to fit loosely into the opening of the nominal gutter drain fixed to the lower surface of the rear frame, the rear frame is adjusted while adjusting the inclination angle with respect to the bracket and attaching the roof. The connection between the drain and the gutter drain can be ensured, and the drainage from the rear frame drain to the gutter drain can be reliably performed.

In the second aspect, the rear frame drain is fixed to the gutter portion of the rear frame, and the nominating gutter drain is detachably fixed to the lower surface, and the rear frame drain is allowed to rotate relative to the nodding gutter drain. , And the lower surface of the rear frame and the upper surface of the drain gutter are in contact with each other with an arcuate surface, so both drains are connected while the upper surface of the drain gutter is in contact with the lower surface of the rear frame regardless of the rotation of the rear frame. State can be maintained.

In both the first and second aspects, the lower end of the rear frame drain is always contained within the drain gutter drain, so that the appearance does not deteriorate.
