Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an icicle generation preventer as an accessory of a ridge that belongs to the field of ridges and that makes it difficult for icicles to occur during winter in snowy cold regions.
[0002]
[Prior art]
During the winter season in cold snowy areas, the snow on the eaves freezes in the rain gutter, and while it freezes in the rain gutter of snow melt water, it becomes icicles due to the heat and the rain gutter is bent by its weight. Damage to rain gutters by icicles, such as deformation, has become a problem.
Therefore, in order to prevent snow accumulation at the eaves from falling into the rain gutter, snowmelt water is supplied by the invention (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 08-302937) provided with a snow fall guide cover at the eave edge or by heating control means in the drainage drainage channel. An invention (Patent No. 2966998) that drains water without freezing has been proposed. However, the former prior invention cannot solve the problem of freezing of the snowmelt water, and the latter prior invention has a problem that the processing cost of the snowmelt water is high.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In view of the above, the present invention allows a general existing rain gutter to overrun most of the snowfall from the eaves without staying inside the gutter, and reduces the flow section of the snowmelt water inside the gutter. An object of the present invention is to provide an icicle icicle generator that prevents icicles from forming by increasing the efficiency of ice melting by solar heat during the daytime.
[0004]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a rod body that can be inserted in the rain gutter along the longitudinal direction between the both sides of the rod body and both side walls of the gutter, and the bottom of the rod body and the bottom of the gutter. It is shaped so that a drainage groove communicating with the drainage hole of the gutter is formed between the walls, the top surface is horizontal, and the height is inserted into the gutter and is on the upper edge of the funnel gutter entrance It is the height to be locked.
[0005]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The rod may have a hollow or solid cross section, and the material is wood, aluminum, stainless steel, etc., and the bottom shape is a space between the bottom walls of the rain gutter, such as a mountain shape to an arc shape. Any shape may be used as long as the (flowing water groove) is formed, and a communication groove communicating with the inner flowing water groove may be intermittently provided in the longitudinal direction at the lower ends of both side portions.
In addition, the joint has a similar shape in which the inner surface shape to be fitted is similar to the contour shape of the rod body, but a part of the bottom is cut off, and the direct hand that joins the rod bodies linearly, A curved joint that joins at right angles is also provided.
[0006]
【Example】
The present invention will be described with reference to one embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the main body is a square bar shape inserted into a rain gutter 1 and a hollow bar body 3 having a bottom portion 2 formed in a mountain shape. As shown in the figure, the drainage hole 7 of the rain gutter 1 is formed between the both side portions 4 of the rod 3 and both side walls 5 of the gutter 1 and between the bottom 2 of the rod 3 and the bottom wall 6 of the gutter 1. And the top surface of the rod 3 is a horizontal plane 9, and the height of the side portion 4 is included in a plane passing through the apexes of the side walls 5 or below it. The height at which it is located is selected. As a result, the horizontal surface 9 of the rod 3 is locked to the upper edge 12 of the insertion port 11 through which the rain gutter 1 of the funnel 10 is inserted, and the lower ends of both side portions 4 are in contact with both side walls 5 of the rain gutter 1. Is inserted and positioned along the longitudinal direction.
The direct hand 13 shown in FIG. 3 is formed so that the inner shape of the outer hand is similar to the contour shape of the rod body 3 and has a fitting allowance, and the length of the gutter 1 is the unit length of the rod body 3. In the case of being longer than the length, as shown in FIG. The curved joint 14 shown in FIG. 4 has an inner surface shape that fits externally and is similar to the contour shape of the rod body 3 and has a fitting margin, the fitting portion 15 is formed at a right angle, and the rain gutter 1 is disposed at a right angle. When it is done, it is externally fitted to the ends of the front and rear rods 3 and connected.
[0007]
The rain gutter icicle prevention device a constructed in this manner is in a state where the lower end of both sides 4 of the rod 3 is seated on both side walls 5 of the gutter 1 in the winter gutter 1 in the snowy cold region. The height at which the horizontal plane 9 is locked to the upper edge 12 of the insertion opening 11 of the funnel 10 is selected and inserted into the gutter 1 for use.
The snow on the roof falls from the eaves to the gutter 1, but most of the open gutter 1 is occupied by the horizontal surface 9 of the rod 3, so most of the snow falls outward by the horizontal surface 9. Run and no longer stay inside the gutter 1. As a result, freezing of snowfall in the rain gutter is reduced, and icicles generated by cold and warm weather are prevented. Snowmelt water flowing down from the roof is also guided into the narrow water channel 8 and drained from the drain hole 7 of the gutter 1 to a vertical gutter communicating with the funnel 10. Therefore, the amount of snow-melting water that freezes in the cold at night is small, and the ice melting efficiency by the solar heat during the day is increased, so that it is melted and drained quickly, so that icing does not occur at night.
As a result, the rain gutter 1 is not loaded with a load that induces bending or deformation by icicles, and the damage is eliminated.
In addition, a heat source can be accommodated in the rod body 3, and the groove | channel connected to the flowing water groove 8 can be intermittently arrange | positioned along the longitudinal direction at the lower end of the both sides 4 of the solid rod body 3. FIG.
[0008]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the existing rain gutter is not modified, the function of the rain gutter outside the winter season is not impaired, freezing due to falling snow in the gutter is reduced, and the amount of snow melt water at night is also reduced. The ice melting efficiency by solar heat becomes high and icicles are hardly generated. As a result, rain gutter damage is eliminated.
