[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002]
The present invention relates to a lock-type rain gutter support that is attached to an eaves or the like, and more particularly, a gutter support body that is slidably connected to the attachment gutter, and a lock lever that locks or unlocks the gutter support body to the attachment gutter. And a lock-type rain gutter support provided with a rivet for connecting them.
[Prior art]
[0003]
FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view showing a conventional locking rain gutter support.
[0004]
Conventionally, there are various types of rain gutter support tools, and in particular, there are lock levers 103 that perform lateral rotation, gutter rotation, and slide operation.
Here, a lateral rotation type lock lever 103 will be described as an example.
[0005]
The rain gutter support 100 includes a gutter support body 102 slidably connected to the attachment gutter 101, a gutter support main body 102, and a lock lever 103 that is rotated in the lateral direction to press and fix the gutter support 101. I have.
[0006]
Further, a shaft hole 111 through which the rivet 104 passes is opened in front of the mounting rod 101, and a slide long hole 112 overlapping with the shaft hole 111 is opened in the longitudinal direction in the rod support body 102. .
[0007]
Further, the lock lever 103 is formed in a U-shape opened downward, and a connection hole 113 through which the rivet 104 is penetrated is formed on the closed upper surface, and a circle centering on the connection hole 113 is formed. Large and small protrusions 123 and 133 are formed at appropriate positions on the circumference.
[0008]
A rivet 104 such as a stepped rivet is passed through the shaft hole 111, the slide long hole 112, and the connection hole 113 through the spring washer 105, and the lower end thereof is caulked to prevent the attachment rod 101, the rod support tool. The main body 102 and the lock lever 103 are connected.
[0009]
In the lock-type rain gutter support 100 having such a structure, when the lock lever 103 is laterally rotated from unlock to the lock side, the small protrusion 123 of the lock lever 103 temporarily pushes up the lower surface of the hail support body 102. Further, when further rotating to the lock side, the large protrusion 133 fits into the slide long hole 112 while pushing up the lower surface of the heel support body 102, and the protrusion 123 fixes the heel support body 102 again to the mounting rod 101. The slide of the heel support main body 102 can be locked.
In the case of this figure, at the time of locking, the large protrusion 133 of the lock lever 103 is partially fitted into the slide long hole 112 of the heel support main body 102 to ensure the locked position.
[0010]
On the other hand, in order to release the lock of the lock lever 103, when the lock lever 103 is rotated laterally from the lock position to the unlock side, the reverse action is performed and the lock is released. The heel support tool main body 102 can be slid within the range of the slide long hole 112 without being in pressure contact, and the degree of protrusion of the heel support tool main body 102 is adjusted.
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
[0011]
However, since all of these lock-type rain gutter supports 100 have a structure in which the rivet 104 is passed through the mounting rod 101, the hail support main body 102, and the lock lever 103, the lock type In the assembling work of the rain gutter support 100, the shaft hole 111 of the mounting gutter 101, the slide long hole 112 of the gutter support main body 102, and the connection hole 113 of the lock lever 103 are aligned, and then the rivet 104 is attached. It is necessary to pierce and stop.
[0012]
In this case, if a general rivet is used as the rivet 104, there is a problem that it is difficult to determine the crimping position (caulking degree) between the attachment rod 101 and the rod support body 102.
[0013]
In order to solve this problem, it has recently been devised to use a stepped rivet as the rivet 104 as shown in the figure.
[0014]
The stepped rivet positions the mounting rod 101 and the rod support main body 102 at the thick neck portion 114 of the shaft, and only the thin neck portion 124 of the shaft is passed through the connecting hole 113 of the lock lever 103 to be caulked. ing.
[0015]
However, when the stepped rivet is used for the rivet 104, a general rivet setter device (not shown) cannot be used, and a dedicated rivet setter device is required.
[0016]
In addition to the above problems, the stepped rivet as shown in the figure has a problem that it is more expensive than a general rivet.
[0017]
The present invention aims to solve such a problem, and even if a general rivet or a general rivet setter device is used, positioning of the mounting rod and the heel support body is performed easily and reliably. Provides a rock gutter support that can be locked.
[Means for Solving the Problems]
[0018]
In order to achieve the above object, a lock type rain gutter support according to claim 1 includes a gutter support body slidably connected to a mounting gutter, and a lock for locking or unlocking the gutter support body to the gutter. A lever and a rivet for connecting them are provided, and either the mounting rod or the hook support body has a shaft hole that penetrates the rivet, and the other penetrates the rivet. A slide hole that is superimposed on the shaft hole is formed, and a connecting hole that penetrates the rivet is formed on the lock lever, and the rivet passes through the shaft hole, the slide long hole, and the connection hole. In the lock-type rain gutter support having a structure in which the lower end is caulked to connect the mounting gutter, hail support body, and lock lever, the mounting gutter or hail support book in which the shaft hole is formed. Are formed with positioning protrusions that are inserted into the slide long holes to identify the caulking stop position, and the positioning protrusions are formed at symmetrical positions around the shaft hole. It is characterized by that.
[0019]
In this case, even if a general rivet or a general rivet setter device is used, the slide long hole and the shaft hole are simply inserted into the slide long hole by inserting the positioning protrusion of the mounting rod or the hook support body. Can be positioned easily and reliably, the assembly workability can be improved, and the cost can be reduced.
[0020]
Even if the connecting hole is formed in the lock lever, the slide long hole and the shaft hole are overlapped and the positioning of the both is ensured. It can be easier.
[0021]
Furthermore, since the positioning convex portion is formed at a symmetrical position around the shaft hole, the positioning of the slide long hole and the shaft hole can be performed more reliably.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0022]
Hereinafter, a locking rain gutter support according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0039]
Next, if the connecting hole 31 of the lock lever 3 is overlapped while using the lower end of the positioning convex portion 12 as a mark, the positioning of these three holes (the shaft hole 11, the slide long hole 21, and the connecting hole 31) is ensured. Can be done.
[0040]
Then, when the rivet 4 is swaged using a rivet setter device (not shown) in the above-described positioning state, the rivet caulking position is specified by the positioning convex portion 12, so that the rivet caulking position is specified. Stable crimping operation can be performed without causing excessive or insufficient crimping, and the mounting rod 1, the rod support body 2, and the lock lever 3 are connected by a rivet 4.
[0041]
As described above, even when a general rivet or a general rivet setter device is used, the positioning rod 12 of the mounting rod 1 or the rod support body 2 is simply inserted into the slide long hole 21 to slide. The long hole 21 and the shaft hole 11 are superposed, and the positioning of both can be performed easily and reliably, so that the assembling workability can be improved and the cost can be reduced.
[0042]
