Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an eaves hanging tool used when attaching eaves along the eaves of a roof.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, a conventional hanging device 10 of this type has a U-shaped claw portion 11 at its front end, and an ear formed on the outer edge of the eaves 20 by this claw portion 11. The portion 21 was suspended from the outside in a hugging manner. Therefore, since the claw portion 11 of the hanging tool 10 can be seen from the front of the eave gutter after construction, it was necessary to use the hanging tool 10 of the same color as the eave gutter 20 to maintain the aesthetic appearance after construction. However, even if this is done, the claw portion 11 is still visible, so the claw portion 11 stands out and degrades its aesthetic appearance.

Furthermore, if the ears 21 of the eave soffit 20 are suspended from the outside by the claws 11 of the hanging tool 10 as shown in FIG. Due to the deformation, the distance between the outer edge and the inner edge of the eaves 20 tends to narrow, and when such deformation occurs, the ear part 21 tends to fall off from the claw part 11, so the ear part 21 and this are suspended. It was necessary to make the claw part 11 relatively large to prevent it from falling off. However, the ears 21 and the claws 1
Increasing the number 1 makes them more noticeable, which is not preferable in terms of improving aesthetic appearance.

This idea was made in view of the above circumstances.
The claws that suspend the ears of the eaves can be constructed so that they are not visible from the front of the eaves, and the ears and claws do not have to be as large as conventional ones to ensure that the ears do not fall off from the nails. To improve the aesthetic appearance of eaves after construction, regardless of the color of the hanging tool, by providing a hanging tool that can prevent damage.

The illustrated embodiment will be described below.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the hanging tool 100 consists of a hanging tool main body 110, a support rod 120, and a claw portion 111. The claw portion 111 is an elastic piece thinner than the sling main body 110 bent into an L-shape, and its base end portion (horizontal portion) 115 is fixed to the outer end of the sling main body 110. As a result, the tip has a rising portion 116 formed in a rising shape. The rising portion 116 has a height slightly lower than the vertical width of the inward opening 203 of the ear portion 201 in order to fit into the ear portion 201 of the eaves 200 described later. The hanger main body 110 includes a U-shaped engagement portion 112 at its inner end. Further, the central part of the hanging main body 110 is formed in a recessed shape, and the tip of an elastic piece 114 fixed to the recessed part 113 faces the engaging part 112 at a predetermined interval. . On the other hand, the support rods 120 are stacked and fixed to the suspension main body 110 by spot welding or the like, and their rear ends extend diagonally downward. A metal fitting 121 is provided in the shape of a cross at the rear end of the metal fitting 121.
A hole 122 for driving a mounting screw, nail, etc. is formed at a predetermined location on the rear end of the support rod 120.

FIG. 3 shows a case where an eaves 200 is constructed using the above-mentioned hanging tool 100. As clearly shown in the figure, the eaves 200 includes an inwardly curled ear 201 at the front edge, an outwardly curled ear 202 at the rear edge, and an inwardly curled ear 201 at the front edge.
A downwardly facing piece 204 and an inwardly facing opening 203 are formed therein. This ear part 201 is the eaves 200
The front edge of the eaves 200 is provided with a downward facing piece 204 and an opening 203 on the inner side. It also serves to improve the rigidity of the part. The front edge ear portion 201 (hereinafter referred to as the front edge ear portion) is supported in a suspended manner by the claw portion 111 of the hanger main body 110 fitted therein. Furthermore, the rear edge ear portion 202 (hereinafter referred to as the rear edge ear portion) is suspended by the engaging portion 112 of the suspender main body 110 in a hugging manner. In this case, the tip of the elastic piece 114 opposes the rear edge of the eaves 200 to prevent the rear edge from deforming inward. On the other hand, support rod 1
20 has its rear end fixed to the eave 300 of the roof.

The construction procedure is as follows.

That is, after fixing the support rod 120 to the eave 300, the rear edge portion 202 of the eave soffit 200 is attached to the elastic piece 1.
14, and the trailing edge portion 202 is suspended by the engaging portion 112. When the trailing edge portion 202 is suspended by the engaging portion 112, the elastic piece 11
4 is restored to the state shown in FIG. 3, the trailing edge portion 202 will not fall off from the engaging portion 112 thereafter. Next, the front edge of the eave soffit 200 is lifted, the front edge ears 201 are pressed against the claws 111, and the front edge is further lifted. In this way, the front edge ear portion 201 gets over the claw portion 111, so the claw portion 11
The rising portion 116 of 1 is the opening 2 of the front edge ear portion 201.
It is fitted through 03. After this, the front edge ear part 2
01 on the claw part 111. During such installation work, even if the front edge ear portion 201 is small, the claw portion 111 is formed of an elastic piece thinner than the suspension main body 110, so that the claw portion 111 does not interfere with the opening 203. Front edge ear 2
It fits into 01. In addition, since the height of the rising portion 116 is slightly lower than the vertical width of the opening 203, the rising portion 116 can be inserted without being elastically deformed, and can be fitted smoothly. Improves sex. Furthermore, the overall strength of the suspender 100 is ensured by the suspender main body 110 and the support rod 120, which are thicker than the claw portions 111.

If this is done, the claw portion 111 will be held in by the front edge ear portion 201 from the outside, so that the claw portion 111 will not be visible from the front of the eaves 200. Note that the engaging portion 112 is connected to the eave 2
00, the engaging portion 112 is also no longer visible from the front of the eaves 200. Also,
In such a suspended state, the eaves 200 is deformed as the bottom of the eaves 200 sags.
A force acts in a direction that narrows the mutual spacing between both ears 201 and 202 of 00, but even if such a force acts, the displacement of the leading edge ear 201 is limited to the claw part 1.
11, this leading edge ear 201
Even if it is made smaller, it will not fall off from the claw portion 111. Therefore, if the leading edge portion 201 is made small enough to be unnoticeable, the aesthetic appearance after construction will be improved accordingly. Further, since the displacement of the trailing edge lug 202 is also prevented by the elastic piece 114, the trailing edge lug 202 does not fall off from the engaging portion 112.

By the way, comparing the state of engagement between the claw part 111 and the front edge ear part 201 when the claw part 111 is made thinner than the suspension main body 110 and when both are made to have the same thickness, it is found that In this case, the engagement width between the claw portion 111 and the downwardly directed piece portion 204 becomes larger, making it difficult for the claw portion 111 to fall off. That is, the claw portion 1
The height of the rising portion 116 of 11 is not shorter than the vertical width of the opening 203 minus the thickness of the claw portion 111.
cannot be inserted into the opening 203, and if the claw portion 111 is thinner than the hanging device main body 110, the rising portion 1
16 can be made that much higher, and as a result, the claw portion 111
A sufficient engagement width is ensured between the lower piece 204 and the lower piece 204, making it difficult to fall off. However, if the claw portion 111 is as thick as the hanger main body 110, unless the rising portion 116 is made that much lower, the lower end of the downward piece 204 will become too tight to insert. There is a concern that a sufficient engagement width between the lower piece 204 and the lower piece 204 may not be ensured.
From this point of view as well, there is a practical advantage in making the claw portion 111 thinner than the suspension main body 110.

In FIG. 3, the rising portion 116 of the claw portion 111 is directed vertically upward, and the leading edge portion 201 is suspended from the rising portion 116. However, as shown in FIG.
By bending the rising portion 116 slightly inward, slightly deforming the eaves 200 so that its width becomes narrower, and suspending the leading edge portion 201 from the claw portion 111, the eaves 200 can be easily bent. Since the front edge ear part 201 is engaged with the claw part 111 as shown in the figure by the elastic restoring force, there is no wobbling of the eaves 200 after construction. There is also no fear of it falling off.

In FIG. 5, a protrusion 203 is provided on the inner surface of the rear edge of the eaves 200, and when the rear edge ear part 202 is suspended from the engaging part 112, this protrusion 203 engages with the tip of the elastic piece 114. It shows what was done. By doing so, falling off of the trailing edge portion 202 from the engaging portion 112 can be more reliably prevented, and at the same time, rattling of the eave soffit 200 after construction can be reduced.

As described in detail above, the hanging tool according to the present invention has a hanging tool main body equipped with a claw part that is fitted into the inwardly curled ear part formed on the front edge of the eaves and suspends the ear part. Therefore, after installation, the claw part is covered by the ear part and is no longer visible from the front of the eaves, and since the claw part is formed thinner than the main body of the hanger, the ear part does not need to be enlarged. Since the claw portion can be easily fitted into the claw portion and the ear portion is reliably prevented from falling off from the claw portion, the ear portion can be made small so as not to be too noticeable. Since the height of the rising part of the claw is made slightly lower than the vertical width of the inward opening of the ear part, the rising part of the claw can be inserted smoothly through the opening without elastic deformation, and the eaves can be smoothly inserted. The ease of installation is significantly improved. Therefore, regardless of whether the hanging fixtures are the same color as the eaves, the appearance of the eaves will be beautiful when installed. In addition, since the hanging device according to the present invention has a support rod attached to the main body of the hanging device, if a sliding type is adopted as the attachment method, there is an advantage that the hanging device can adjust the width of the eaves.
