Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to an improvement in the connection structure of eaves gutters attached to the eaves of houses, etc.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, in order to connect eaves gutters, one end of the ear wrap formed on both sides of the eaves gutter in the width direction is raised using a tool such as a tool to open it, and the After fitting the selvage part of the other eave gutter, return the selvage part to its original position using the tool again and connect it by winding the selvage part of the other eave gutter, and then The connection portions are adhered by soldering or the like to prevent rainwater from leaking from the connection portions. Therefore, there was a problem in that the connection work at the construction site was time-consuming, the work was troublesome, and it took a lot of time.

Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problem, as shown in FIG. Insert the connecting rod 4 into the connecting rod 4, fit the selvedge part 2' of the other eaves gutter 1' adjacent to the connecting rod 4, and connect the other end of the other eaves gutter 1' to the overlapping part of the eaves gutter 1. 3 is polymerized to connect the eaves gutters 1 and 1' (see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 7704/1983).

Problems to be solved by the invention However, in the case of using the connecting rod 4 as described above, when assembling on site, after positioning the adjacent eaves gutters 1 and 1' facing each other, the left and right Connecting rods 4, 4 are connected to corresponding ear wrap portions 2',
2' at the same time, but this combined with the fact that there is almost no play in the insertion hole of the ear wrap 2' makes it difficult to insert, and the tip edge 4' of the connecting rod 4 does not fit into the eaves gutter 1. Since the overlapping part 3 protrudes beyond the leading edge 3', the leading edges of the overlapping part of the eaves gutters 1 and 1' abut against each other and get in the way, making the work of connecting the eaves gutters even more difficult. Ta.

Means for Solving the Problems Therefore, the present invention has a structure in which the overlapping part of the eaves gutter extends along the longitudinal direction so as to protrude beyond the tip edge of the connecting rod, thereby making it possible to connect the connecting rod. The aim is to solve the above problems without sacrificing the advantages of its use.

Function: When connecting eaves gutters, the overlapping part with the extended part serves as a slide guide for the other eave gutter, so the connecting end of the other eave gutter can be slid in the approaching direction along the extending part. This makes it possible to easily fit the ear wrapping part onto the connecting rod, making it possible to easily and reliably connect eaves gutters, and after connecting, the area of the overlapping part is larger than that of the conventional method. As a result, the strength of the eaves gutter connection is greatly increased, and the protruding length of the connecting rod can be set as short as possible, resulting in cost reduction.

Embodiment Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be explained using an embodiment shown in the drawings.

Reference character a is an eaves gutter formed of a metal plate or the like and having a substantially semicircular cross section, and on both sides of the eaves gutter a in the width direction, ear wrap portions 11, 11 that are rolled inward are formed. . One end of both sides in the width direction of the eaves gutter a is notched together with the ear wrap portions 11, 11 to form notches 12, 12, and the curved surface between the notches 12, 12 is adjacent to the other eaves gutter a'. This serves as a polymerization section 14 where the ends of the fibers are polymerized.

In addition, the ear wrap portions 11, 11 are provided with the other eaves gutter.
Connecting rods 15, 15 are inserted into which the ear wrap portions 11', 11' formed at a' are fitted.

By the way, the overlapping part 14 of the eaves gutter a has a leading edge 14a that is connected to the leading edge 15 of the connecting rods 15, 15.
It extends in a curved manner along the longitudinal direction so as to protrude beyond the eave gutter a and 15a, and the extending portion serves as a slide guide portion 14b that guides and guides the connecting end of the other eave gutter a'.

In the configuration as described above, in order to connect the other eaves gutter a' adjacent to the eave gutter a, the connection end 13 of the other eaves gutter a' must be overlapped with the slide guide part 14b. Slide in the approach direction and connect the ear wrap portions 11', 11' of the other eaves gutter a' to the connecting rods 15,
15 is all that is required.

In this way, when connecting the eaves gutters a and a', the extension provided at the joint end of the eave gutters a can be effectively used as a slide guide, so the connection rods 15 and 15
It is possible to very easily and reliably align the holes with the ear wrap parts 11', 11', and the ear wrap parts 1
Since 1' and 11' serve as stoppers for positioning, the eaves gutters a and a' can be connected accurately and quickly by simply slidingly fitting them together in an overlapping state.

Further, after the connection, the area of the overlapping part of the eaves guttering a and a' becomes larger than that of the conventional one, so that the strength of the connection part is further increased. Therefore, connecting rod 1
The protrusion lengths of 5 and 15 can be set as short as possible, and costs can be reduced accordingly.

In addition, although the above-mentioned present example explained the connection structure of the straight eaves gutter, the present invention is not limited to this, but can also be applied to the connection between the curved gutter b and the straight gutter. (See Figure 4). Further, when connecting the eaves gutter, the slide guide portion 14b may be located below the other eave gutter a'. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to those made of metal, but can also be applied to eaves gutters made of resin.

Effects of the Invention As described above, in the present invention, both edges in the width direction are cut out along with the selvedge part to form an overlapping part at one end of the eaves gutter, and a connecting rod is inserted into the selvedge part. At the same time, the ear wrap part of the other eaves gutter adjacent to the connecting rod is fitted, and the other end of the other eave gutter is overlapped with the overlapping part of the eaves gutter to connect the eaves gutter. In the eaves gutter connection structure, the overlapping part of the eaves gutter extends in the longitudinal direction so as to protrude beyond the tip edge of the connecting rod, so when connecting the eaves gutter, , the overlapping part with the extending part serves as a slide guide for the other eaves gutter, so simply sliding the connecting end side of the other eaves gutter in the approaching direction along the extending part allows the connecting rod to be wrapped around the ear. The parts can be easily positioned and fitted together, making it possible to quickly and reliably connect the eaves gutters, and since the area of the overlapping part is larger than that of the conventional method after connection, it is easy to connect. The structure is simple, with no rattling at the parts, and the strength of the eaves/gutter connection is greatly increased.The protruding length of the connecting rod can be set as short as possible, resulting in cost reduction. However, it has extremely useful practical effects.
