DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an eaves gutter support, and more particularly, to an eaves gutter support capable of adjusting the width of the eaves from the eaves, such as a blindfold or a rafter.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In this type of eaves gutter support, a conventional example of a gutter receiving device of a type for receiving an eaves gutter from below is shown in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. H10-158.
No. 8-123133, which is shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. This gutter receiving device is provided with a connecting portion 11 which is long in the front-rear direction on a support body 1 which is formed by bending a steel strip into a substantially U-shape and receives and holds the eaves gutter 100 from below. The support rod 5 for supporting the support body 1 on the eaves is also provided with a connecting portion 51 which is long in the front-rear direction. Then, the connecting portion 11 of the support tool main body 1 is overlapped on the connecting portion 51 of the support rod 5, and the curved spring plate 6 is further overlapped on the connecting portion 11 of the support tool body 1 to connect the support rod 5. A support shaft 7 made of a rivet or the like is inserted through a long hole 52 formed in the front and rear direction formed in the portion 51, a round hole 12 formed in the support body 1, and a round hole 62 formed in the spring plate 6. Collar-shaped head 7 provided at one end of shaft 7
The spring plate 6, the connecting portion 11 of the support body 1, and the connecting portion 51 of the support rod 5 are sandwiched between the supporting member 1 and a pressing piece 72 provided at the other end of the support shaft 7. It has a configuration.

According to the gutter receiving device of this configuration, the range in which the support shaft 7 can move in the longitudinal direction in the elongated hole 52, or the range in which the rising portion 13 of the support body 1 does not hit the falling portion 53 of the support rod 5. Thus, the connecting portion 11 of the support body 1 can be slid in the front-rear direction with respect to the connecting portion 51 of the support rod 5, and such a slide supports the falling portion 53 of the support rod 5 from the eaves. The width of the main body 1 can be adjusted.

[0004]

In the conventional gutter receiver described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8, since the strength of the connecting portion 51 of the support rod 5 is weakened at the opening of the elongated hole 52, the connecting portion is difficult. The ribs 54, 54 are bent and raised at both ends in the width direction of the 51, and the ribs 54, 54 compensate for the reduction in strength due to the provision of the elongated holes 52. However, since it is necessary to secure a necessary strength for the supporting rod 5 by using a thicker strip than the support body, it is necessary to bend the ribs 54, 54 on such a thick strip. This is not easy, and therefore, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost of the support rod 5 and thus the gutter receiver is high, and a long hole 52 formed in the connecting portion 51 of the support rod 5 is difficult to see from below. there were.

Further, in the conventional gutter receiving device,
Since the contact area between the head 71 of the support shaft 7 and the connecting portion 51 is extremely small, the head 7 of the support shaft 7 is
When the connecting portion 51 of the support rod 5 is strongly pressed against 1, the force due to the pressing concentrates on a small area contact portion between the head 71 and the connecting portion 51. For this reason, there is also a problem that the head 71 of the support shaft 7 that moves together with the support main body 1 when the support main body 1 is slid is in a state of being hooked on the connecting portion 51 of the support rod 5 and is difficult to slide. .

In addition, since the head 7 and the connecting portion 51 are merely in contact with each other in a small area, when the eaves gutter 100 supported by the support body 1 receives a large wind pressure or the like, the support body is There is a problem that rattling between the connecting portion 11 of the support body 1 and the connecting portion 51 of the support rod 5 is likely to occur as the device 1 swings back and forth while deforming the spring plate 6. To solve this problem, it is effective to increase the spring force of the spring plate 6, but doing so further increases the above-mentioned problem of the slide.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems. That is, the present invention includes a support member body for holding the eaves gutter, and a support rod for supporting the support member body on the eaves tip, and a connecting portion provided on the support member body and extending in the front-rear direction. In an eaves gutter supporting device in which a long connecting portion provided in the front and rear direction provided on the rod is connected to each other, the supporting body can be moved in the front and rear direction without providing a long hole which causes a reduction in strength in the connecting portion of the supporting rod. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an eaves gutter support capable of reducing the production cost of the support rod and improving the appearance by taking measures to adjust the width of the eaves from the eaves by sliding the eaves. And

Further, the present invention enables the supporter body to slide more smoothly than before, while reducing the play between the connecting part of the supporter body and the connecting part of the support rod. An object of the present invention is to provide an eaves gutter support which is less likely to occur.

[0009]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided an eaves gutter support, comprising: a support main body for holding an eaves gutter;
A support rod for supporting the support body at the eaves tip is provided, and a longitudinally long connecting part provided on the support body and a longitudinally long connecting part provided on the support rod are connected to each other. In the eaves gutter support, a long hole extending in the front-rear direction is formed at the center of the connecting portion of the support main body in the width direction, and the connecting portion of the support rod is provided on one side of the connecting portion of the support main body, and the other surface On the side, a spring plate having a lateral width longer than the hole width of the elongated hole and having a natural shape in which a middle portion in the front-rear direction bulges in a direction away from the connecting portion of the support body is slidably overlapped in the front-rear direction. A support shaft is inserted through a hole formed in the connection portion of the support rod, a long hole of the connection portion of the support body, and a hole formed in the spring plate, and one end of the support shaft is inserted. Between the flange surface provided on the other side and the flange surface provided on the other end. The connecting portion of the support plate and the connecting portion of the support plate and the connecting portion of the supporting rod are sandwiched in a state where the spring plate is compressed and deformed against its elasticity, and the connecting portion of the supporting rod has a rectangular cross-sectional shape. The connecting portion has a length in the front-rear direction capable of covering a long hole formed in the connecting portion of the support body in a sliding area in the front-rear direction of the support body. It is that.

[0010]

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided the eaves gutter support according to the first aspect, wherein a plate member and both ends in the width direction of the plate member are provided between the connecting portion of the support rod and the flange surface of the support shaft. A guide piece having a guide piece provided on an edge thereof, wherein the plate member is interposed, and the guide piece slidably guides both lateral edges of the connecting portion of the support body in the width direction. It is.

[0012] The eaves gutter support according to the third aspect of the present invention,
2. The device according to claim 1, wherein the support body has a rising portion for supporting a rear wall portion of the eaves gutter at a connecting portion thereof, and the spring plate has a hole formed at a position closer to the rear end than the center in the front-rear direction. Is established.

[0013]

According to the eaves gutter support according to the first aspect of the present invention, the connecting portion of the support main body can be moved in a range in which the support shaft can move in the longitudinal direction within the elongated hole formed in the connection portion of the support main body. The support rod can be slid in the front-rear direction with respect to the connecting portion, and the width of the support tool main body from the eave to which the support rod is fixed can be adjusted by such slide.

Further, according to this structure, it is possible to make the hole of the support rod a round hole. By doing so, it is not necessary to open a long hole in the support rod, so that the strength of the support rod is reduced. Is suppressed. Therefore, it is not necessary to perform a difficult bending process in which the rib portions are bent at both end edges in the width direction of the support rod and stand up as in the related art. Since the width of the spring plate is longer than the width of the elongated hole formed in the connecting portion of the support body, the connecting portion of the support body is slid in the front-rear direction with respect to the connecting portion of the support rod. Sometimes
The end of the spring plate superimposed on the other surface of the connecting portion of the support body comes into elastic contact with the remaining portions provided on both sides of the elongated hole in the support body, and the spring force of the spring plate The connecting portion of the support body and the connecting portion of the support rod rub against each other. Therefore, there is no hindrance in adjusting the output width by sliding the support body.

Further, since the cross-sectional shape of the connecting portion of the supporting rod is a very simple and general shape of a rectangular shape,
The support rod is easy and cheap to manufacture. Further, even when the eaves gutter support is a gutter receiver as described with reference to FIG. 7, the elongated hole formed in the connecting portion of the support main body is covered and hidden from below by the support rod and becomes invisible. .

According to the eaves gutter support according to the second aspect of the present invention, the connecting portion of the support rod and the flange surface of the support shaft do not directly contact each other, and the plate is interposed between them. When the connecting portion of the support rod is strongly pressed against the plate by the spring force of the spring plate, the force accompanying the pressing is dispersed over a wide range by the plate. For this reason, when the supporter body is slid, the plate moving together with the supporter body slides smoothly with respect to the connecting portion of the support rod. In addition, since the connecting portion of the support rod contacts the plate material in a large area, even when the eaves gutter supported by the support body receives a large wind pressure or the like, the connection portion of the support main body and the connecting portion of the support rod are connected. It is difficult for rattling to occur between them. Furthermore, since the guide piece of the guide metal guides both ends in the width direction of the connecting portion of the support main body, the support rod and the support main body do not swing in the horizontal width direction, and the sliding is smoothly performed.

According to the eaves gutter support according to the third aspect of the present invention, the hole of the spring plate is provided at a position deviated to the rear end side, so that the support body can be extended even if the spring plate is lengthened in the front-rear direction. When the width adjustment is performed, it is less likely that the spring plate is in the way and the range of the width adjustment is narrowed.

The above-described operation of the first aspect of the present invention is similarly exerted by the second and third aspects of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of an eaves gutter support A according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a vertical vertical sectional side view showing an enlarged main part of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is an enlarged main part of FIG. FIG. 4 is a vertical vertical sectional front view in which a main part of FIG. 1 is enlarged. The eaves gutter support A shown in these figures belongs to a gutter receiver.

In the eaves gutter support A, the support main body 1
Is provided with a connecting portion 11 long in the front-rear direction D on a support body 1 formed by bending a steel strip into a substantially U-shape and receiving and holding an eaves gutter (not shown) from below. In addition, a front rising portion 14 and a rear rising portion 15 are provided at both front and rear ends of the connecting portion 11, respectively. As shown in FIG. 4, ribs 16, 16 are bent at both ends of the connecting portion 11, the front rising portion 14, and the rear rising portion 15 in the lateral width direction H. 16, 16 are provided with outwardly extending edges 17, 17. In addition, the connecting portion 1
A long hole 18 extending in the front-rear direction D is formed at a predetermined location, specifically, in a range from near the center in the front-rear direction to the rear end side. The long hole 18 is opened at the center of the connecting portion 11 in the width direction, and both side portions of the long hole 18 in the connecting portion 11 are leftover portions 19. In addition, a protrusion 14a for retaining the front edge of the eaves gutter (not shown) is provided at the top of the front rising part 14, and the eaves gutter (not shown) is provided at the top of the rear rising part 15. An ear edge winding tongue piece 15a for holding the rear ear edge is provided.

The support rod 5 is made by bending a steel material having a rectangular cross section and a thickness greater than that of the support body 1, and is provided at the rear end of a straight connecting portion 51 having a rectangular cross section. An inverted U-shaped mounting part 55 is provided integrally and continuously, and a seat plate 56 for front-facing is fixed to a hanging piece 55 a of the mounting part 55. In addition, a hole 57 made of a round hole is opened in the connecting portion 51. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the connecting portion 51 of the support rod 5 is overlapped on one surface (lower surface) of the connecting portion 11 of the support body 1.

The spring plate 6 is formed of a steel leaf spring having a rectangular shape in plan view, which is long in the front-rear direction D, and as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the other surface of the connecting portion 11 of the support body 1 (see FIG. 2 and FIG. 4). (Upper surface) side. In this spring plate 6, a hole 63 formed of a round hole is provided at a position slightly deviated to the rear end side (the deviation width is indicated by δ) from the central portion in the front-rear direction indicated by the one-dot chain line in FIG. 2. The natural shape (shape when there is no load) is a curved shape in which the middle part in the front-rear direction bulges in the direction away from the connecting part 11 of the support body 1 (upward). Also, as shown in FIG.
The width W1 of the spring plate 6 is longer than the hole width W2 of the elongated hole 18 formed in the connecting portion 11 of the support body 1. Therefore, the front end or the rear end of the spring plate 6 is
When they overlap with each other, the front and rear ends thereof abut against the remaining portions 19, 19 of the connecting portion 11 as shown in FIG.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a guide fitting. As shown in FIG. 5, the guide fitting 8 is provided with stepped guide pieces 82, 82 at both ends in the width direction of a rectangular plate 81 having a hole 83 formed of a round hole. The connecting portion 51 of the supporting rod 5 and the connecting portion 11 of the support body 1 superposed thereon are fitted from below.
The plate body 8 is provided on the lower surface side of the connecting portion 51 of the support rod 5 as shown in FIG.
1 are overlapped, and the guide pieces 82, 82 are slidably slidable in the front-rear direction along the edges 17, 17 of the ribs 16, 16 in the support body 1. This guide bracket 8
Also in the plate body 81, a hole 83 is formed at a position closer to the rear end than the center in the front-rear direction in the same manner as described above for the spring plate 6. The length of the plate body 81 is the same as the length of the spring plate 6.

The support shaft 7 is a rivet shaft. Therefore, a head 73 is provided at one end of the support shaft 7. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the support shaft 7 includes a washer 9 and a hole 8 formed in a plate 81 of the guide fitting 8.
3, the hole 57 of the connecting portion 51 of the support rod 5, the long hole 18 of the connecting portion 11 of the support body 1, and the hole 63 of the spring plate 6 from below. Is crimped into a flat shape. In this embodiment, the flange surface 91 is formed by the upper surface of the washer 9, and the flange surface 9 is formed by the lower surface of the flat caulking portion 85.
4 are formed. Then, each of the above-mentioned flange surfaces 91, 94
The plate 81 of the guide fitting 8, the connecting portion 51 of the support rod 5, the connecting portion 11 of the support main body 1, and the spring plate 6 are sandwiched between each other. In this state, both ends of the spring plate 6 in the front-rear direction are flatly compressed and deformed in a state where the both ends in the front-rear direction contact the connecting portion 11 of the support body 1.

In the eaves gutter support A described above, the connecting portion 11 of the support main body 1 and the plate 81 of the guide fitting 8 are connected to the connecting portion 51 of the support rod 5 by a force corresponding to the spring force of the spring plate 6. Are in contact with each other. Therefore, when the support shaft 7 is added to the support body 1 in the forward or rearward direction, the range in which the support shaft 7 can move in the longitudinal direction D within the elongated hole 18 or the rising portion 15 of the support body 1 is attached to the mounting portion of the support rod 5. The connecting portion 11 of the support body 1 can be slid in the front-rear direction with respect to the connecting portion 51 of the support rod 5 in a range forward of a position corresponding to 55, and the eaves on which the seat plate 56 is fixed by such slide. It is possible to adjust the width of the support body 1 coming out of the main body. In this case, both ends of the spring plate 6 in the front-rear direction elastically contact and rub against remaining portions 19, 19 provided on both sides of the elongated hole 18 in the support body 1. Further, since the opening of the hole 63 of the spring plate 6 is deviated by δ toward the rear end side from the center in the front-rear direction of the spring plate 6, the projecting length of the spring plate 6 toward the rear side of the support shaft 7. B becomes shorter than the protruding length F toward the front side. For this reason, even when the spring plate 6 is elongated in the front-rear direction, the rear end of the spring plate 6 is attached to the mounting portion 55 of the support rod 5 when adjusting the width of the support body 1 as described above. It is unlikely that the range of the width adjustment will be narrowed due to obstacles. In other words, even if the spring plate 6 is lengthened in the front-rear direction, the output width can be adjusted in a wide range. When the spring plate 6 is elongated in the front-rear direction, the connecting portions 11 at both ends in the front-rear direction of the spring plate 6 are formed.
The contact space between the connecting portions 11 of the support body 1 and the connecting portion 51 of the support rod 5 is stabilized, and rattling between the two is less likely to occur. In addition, the connecting portion 51 of the support rod 5 includes a spring plate 6
When the plate body 81 pressed by the spring force of the above comes into contact with a large area and the guide pieces 82 of the guide fitting 8 are along the edge 17 of the support body 1, when the support body 1 is slid, Or when an eaves gutter (not shown) supported by the support body 1 receives a large wind pressure or the like,
The rattling between the connecting portion 11 of the support body 1 and the connecting portion 51 of the support rod 5 is more unlikely to occur. Further, since the force caused by the pressing by the spring plate 6 is dispersed over a wide range by the plate 81, the plate 81 that moves together with the support main body 1 when the connecting portion 11 of the support main body 1 is slid is moved by the support rod 5. Slide smoothly with respect to the connecting portion 51. Such an action is achieved by the fact that the guide pieces 82 of the guide fitting 8 are provided on the connecting portion 11 of the support body 1.
The edge 17 of the support member 5 is guided, and the support body 1 is prevented from laterally oscillating with respect to the support rod 5, and is further promoted by the action that the axes of the support members 1 are kept aligned. Also, as for the plate body 81 of the guide fitting 8, similarly to the spring plate 6, since the hole 83 is formed at a position deviated toward the rear end from the center in the front-rear direction, the plate 81 is required to adjust the width when adjusting the output width. The rear end of the body 81 does not get in the way.

Further, as shown in this embodiment, if the connecting portion 51 of the supporting rod 5 is provided with a hole 57 made of a round hole, the strength of the connecting portion 51 is not so large due to the opening of the hole 57. Since it does not lower, even if the connecting portion 51 of the support rod 5 has a rectangular cross-sectional shape, there is no problem in actual use.

Further, when the eaves gutter support A is a gutter receiver as shown in the figure, even if the elongate hole 18 is opened in the connecting portion 11 of the support main body 1, Is the supporting rod 5
Since the connecting portion 51 is covered and hidden from below by the connecting portion 51, there is no possibility that the long hole becomes conspicuous and difficult to see after the eaves gutter is constructed.

FIG. 6 shows a modification of the guide fitting 8. The guide fitting 8 shown in the figure includes guide pieces 82 having no stepped portions at both ends in the width direction of the plate body 81.
The guide pieces 82, 82 guide the both ends in the width direction of the connecting portion 11 of the support body 1 in a slidable manner, and the stepped guide pieces 82, 82 described above are provided. Can be used instead of the guide fitting 8 having

In this embodiment, the gutter receiving device as the eaves gutter support A is described. However, in the present invention, a so-called hanging support for the front and rear ear edges of the eaves gutter is provided. It is also possible to apply to gutter hanging hardware. Although a rivet with a head is used for the support shaft 7 in this embodiment, it is also possible to use another shaft body such as a bolt for the support shaft 7, in which case the head of the bolt is used. The back surface of the nut and the end surface of the nut screwed to the bolt can be a flange surface. Further, as the support shaft 7, a support shaft having a stepped portion as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 can be used.
Further, in this embodiment, although the washer 9 is used, it is also possible to omit the washer 9 and use the back surface of the head 73 of the support shaft 7 as a flange surface.

[0030]

According to the present invention, the width of the support body from the eaves can be adjusted without any trouble by sliding the connecting portion of the support body in the front-rear direction with respect to the connecting portion of the support rod. Of course, a supporting rod having sufficient strength can be easily and inexpensively manufactured.

Also, when the eaves gutter support is a gutter receiver as described with reference to FIG. 7, the elongate hole formed at the connecting portion of the support main body is covered and hidden from below by the support rod. A good appearance is obtained.

In addition, by adopting the structure described in claim 2, the support body can be slid more smoothly than in the past, and the adjustment of the output width becomes easier accordingly.

Further, when the configuration described in claim 3 is adopted, the backlash between the connecting portion of the support body and the connecting portion of the supporting rod is easily suppressed by using a spring plate which is long in the front-rear direction. Even in this case, when adjusting the output width by sliding the support body in the front-rear direction, it is difficult for the spring plate to interfere and the range of the output width adjustment to be narrowed, which causes problems in actual use. There is an effect that it is possible to adjust the output width in a range that does not exist.
