Description

  The present invention relates to a protection member for an eaves gutter and an eaves gutter structure using the same, and more specifically, covers a top opening of an eaves gutter having a substantially U-shaped cross section attached between a roof and a beam of a building. The present invention relates to a protection member (protective material) for protecting the flow path of the eaves gutter and an eaves gutter structure using the same.

  Conventionally, eaves gutters are often used as passages for rainwater (including ice and snow water) flowing from a roof. Although the size and shape have evolved due to aesthetic problems, in a few years, the ability to discharge the original water will be greatly reduced due to the accumulation of fallen leaves, dirt, dust, etc. that enter the flow path, or eaves I've been troubled by the phenomenon that water overflows from the gutter and falls under the roof. In each case, a great deal of effort has been expended in removing egress from the eaves gutter.

  On the other hand, although measures such as covering the opening of the eaves gutter with a net-like sheet or pipe are implemented, it cannot be said that the eaves gutter is necessarily integrated with the structure of the eaves gutter. This is only a simple measure. There is a problem of detachability of the eaves gutter and the protection member and breakage of the eaves gutter due to the weight of ice and snow, so-called durability.

  Specifically, the protective member is simply dropped into the opening of the existing eaves gutter, and there is no clear fixing method, and there are cases that fall off due to the wind. In addition, as a problem specific to snowy countries, ice and snow melt on the roof and slide down onto the eaves gutter in block-like lumps, completely blocking the flow path, and the weight of the eaves gutter may cause damage.

Therefore, one of the main objects of the present invention is to provide a protection member for an eaves gutter which maintains the original drainage ability by the eaves gutter, has a simple attachment / detachment method, and has an appropriate mounting (fitting) strength. That is.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a strong eaves gutter protection member that can prevent intrusion of heavy objects such as ice and snow, long-term remaining fallen leaves, twigs, and the like, and prevent breakage of the eaves gutter.
It is still another object of the present invention to provide an eaves gutter structure combining these protection members and eaves gutters.

  The present invention covers a protective sheet portion having a large number of holes through which the passage of tangible objects can be prevented, which is covered with an upper opening of an eaves gutter having a substantially U-shaped cross section, and which is integrally or separately provided with the protective sheet portion. And a fitting portion which is detachably fitted to both upper edges of the eaves gutter.

  According to the present invention, fitting is performed such that a tangible object, that is, dust, is prevented from invading the flow path of the eaves gutter. By providing the portion, it is possible to provide an appropriate mounting (fitting) strength while simplifying the structure and the attaching / detaching method of the protective member, and to maintain the original drainage capacity for a long time.

  The protection member of the eaves gutter according to the present invention is characterized in that the eaves gutter is provided with a fitting portion which is detachably fitted to the protective sheet portion integrally or separately with upper edge portions on both sides of the eaves gutter.

In the present invention, the protective sheet has a number of holes that can prevent the passage of tangible objects but allow rainwater to pass.
Here, tangible objects are fallen leaves, twigs, and other garbage that, when they enter the eaves gutter flow path, can cause problems such as rainwater not flowing smoothly in the flow path. Fragments, small animals and insects.

As a specifically preferred protective sheet portion, a net-like sheet or a perforated sheet having a large number of holes is provided.
When the protective sheet portion is a net-like sheet, it is preferable that the net-like sheet is formed of a hard thermoplastic resin net integrally formed by an extrusion molding method.

  Here, the size of a large number of holes in the net-like sheet, that is, the mesh of the net can be suitably configured, for example, with a width of each strand: 2 to 3 mm and a center-to-center distance between adjacent strands: 10 to 15 mm.

  There are several types of meshes in the current net manufacturing technology, such as a rhombus shape, a tortoiseshell shape, and a lattice shape, and any of them can be arbitrarily changed in recent technology. However, the present invention is not limited to a three-dimensional structure, a nonwoven fabric, and other water-permeable materials because similar effects can be expected.

  Further, after the opening portion of the protective sheet portion is made to have a fixed size, a desired number of holes may be formed by laminating a nonwoven fabric or a woven fabric. Further, the combination of the two may be freely changed to form a desired large number of holes.

When the protective sheet portion is a porous sheet, each hole is a round hole having a diameter of 1 to 30 mmφ or a square hole having one side of 1 to 30 mm, and the occupation ratio of the holes is 60 to 90% of the whole. Is preferred.
The porous sheet can be formed by punching a round hole or a square hole in a hard thermoplastic resin sheet formed by an extrusion molding method, or can be formed by an injection molding method.

In addition, if the protective sheet portion is substantially arch-shaped (projected upward), even if it is covered with dust such as fallen leaves and twigs, the protective sheet portion is easily dropped and has a high strength to withstand the weight. In this case, it is preferable to use a flat sheet having a width of about 1.2 to 2.0 times the width of the eave gutter in an arch shape as the protective sheet portion.
And if the protective sheet part is substantially arch-shaped and the metal fitting is also substantially arch-shaped along the protective sheet part, the strength is further increased.

In the present invention, these protective sheet portions are put on the upper opening of the eaves gutter having a substantially U-shaped cross section. At this time, the protective sheet portions are integrally or separately provided on both upper edge portions of the eaves gutter. A fitting portion is formed to be detachably fitted to the device.
Specifically, the fitting portion is a fitting recess formed by bending both side edges of the protective sheet portion itself, or a pair of fitting portions formed integrally with the both side edges. Preferably, it is a recess.

  Further, the fitting portion is a metal fitting bridged to both upper edge portions of the eaves gutter, and a pair of fitting recesses formed at both end portions of the bridging of the metal fittings and fitted to both upper edge portions of the eaves gutter, respectively. In order to fix the protection net part to the metal fitting, the protection net part may be constituted by at least one fastener which is tightened through a part of the hole of the protection net part.

According to another aspect of the present invention, (1) an eaves gutter having a substantially U-shaped cross section;
(2) A protective sheet portion having a large number of holes through which the tangible material can pass but rainwater can be passed over the upper opening of the eaves gutter, and an eaves gutter provided integrally or separately on the protective sheet portion And an eaves gutter structure comprising a fitting part removably fitted to both upper edges of the eaves gutter.
