2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 7 shows a conventional rain gutter support (vertical rotation type).
FIG.

The rain gutter support 100 is rotated in a vertical direction for press-fixing the gutter support main body 102 and the mounting rod 101 above the gutter support main body 102 slidably connected to the mounting rod 101. A rotation lock lever 103 is provided.

A shaft hole 111 is formed in front of the mounting rod 101, and the shaft hole 1 is formed in the gutter support body 102.
A long hole 112 that overlaps 11 is opened in the longitudinal direction.

Further, the seat 1 which does not penetrate the elongated hole 112.
04 is provided at the lower end, and the shaft 105 having the lower end fixed to the receiving seat 104 is attached to the slot 11 of the gutter support body 102 from below.
2 and the shaft hole 111 of the mounting rod 101,
One end of a rotation lock lever 103 that rotates in the vertical direction is pivotally attached to the upper end of the roller 5.

Then, as shown in FIG. 7, when the rotation lock lever 103 is rotated in the vertical direction, the arc portion of the rotary base plate 103a of the rotation lock lever 103 is rotated in the vertical direction on the upper surface of the mounting rod 101. As a result, the shaft 105 is pulled up or pulled down.

Therefore, if the rotation lock lever 103 is rotated to one side and the shaft 105 is pulled down, the mounting rod 101 and the gutter support body 102 do not come into pressure contact with each other.
It can slide within the range of the long hole 112.

After adjusting the length of the gutter support body 102, when the rotation lock lever 103 is rotated toward the other side, the shaft 105 is pulled up and the shaft 1 is rotated.
05 The seat 104 at the lower end is also pulled up.

Since the seat 104 does not pass through the elongated hole 112, it is joined to the gutter support body 102 and lifted upward.

Therefore, the gutter support tool body 102 is fixed to the mounting rod 101 by press contact, and its slide can be regulated.

FIG. 8 shows a conventional rain gutter support (horizontal rotation type).
FIG.

The rain gutter support 200 includes a gutter support body 202 slidably connected to a mounting rod 201, and the gutter support body 202 and the mounting rod 2 below the rain gutter support 200.
It is provided with a rotation lock lever 203 which rotates in a horizontal direction with a receiving seat 204 for pressing and fixing 01.

A shaft hole 211 is provided in front of the mounting rod 201.
In the gutter support main body 202, an elongated hole 212 that overlaps the shaft hole 211 is opened in the longitudinal direction.

The lower surface of the gutter support body 202 is
It is shaped like a saw blade.

The seat 204 is the gutter support body 20.
A claw piece portion 214 that meshes with the lower surface of 2 is formed on the upper surface, and a bulging portion 224 is formed on the lower surface of the seat 204, and a shaft hole that overlaps the elongated hole 212 is provided.

A lower end of a shaft 205, which can rotate in a horizontal direction, is pivotally attached to the rotation lock lever 203.
5 from the bottom, the shaft hole of the seat 204, the gutter support body 2
02 of the mounting rod 201 and the shaft hole 211 of the mounting rod 201, and the upper end is fixed.

Then, as shown in FIG. 8, when the rotation lock lever 203 is horizontally rotated, the rotation lock lever 203 rides on the bulging portion 224 of the seat 204 and pushes up the seat 204.

Therefore, the claw piece 214 of the seat 204 is provided.
Meshes with the lower surface of the gutter support body 202.

Therefore, the gutter support main body 202 is fixed to the mounting rod 201 by press contact, and its slide can be regulated.

[0020]
