Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an icicle prevention gutter device that prevents icicles from forming in rain gutters installed at the eaves where heavy snowfall occurs and promotes snow melting.

[Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and ideas]

In order to install a gutter at the eaves, a supporting metal fitting is provided on a vertical plate called a fascia of the eaves, and the gutter is attached to this supporting metal fitting.

Due to the slope of the roof, more snow falls on the eaves than near the top of the roof, and the front edge of the snow reaches the outer edge of the gutter.

For this reason, snowmelt water that is stimulated by the heat of the sun during the day drips from the edge of the gutter, and this dripping water freezes as the night cools down, and this process is repeated, causing icicles to form in the gutter, which can form on the eaves. The icicles were very dangerous, and the problem was that the gutter would freeze, preventing snow from melting at all.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

The present invention solves this problem, and its structure will be described in detail as follows with reference to the accompanying drawings showing embodiments.

A rain gutter support 2 is connected to the eaves of the roof 1, and the rain gutter 3 is placed horizontally in contact with the front side of the eaves using the rain gutter support 2, and many water holes 4 are bored in the rain gutter 3. The perforated plate 5 provided above is fitted over the rain gutter, and the plate surface of the perforated plate 5 located above the rain gutter is formed into an inclined surface that is low on the roof 1 side and high on the opposite side.

[Effect]

When the snow on the roof 1 melts due to solar heat, the snow falls little by little on the slope of the roof 1, and the front end of the snow comes into contact with the perforated plate 5, which has a slope where the roof 1 side is low and the opposite side is high, and the rain gutter 3. Do not protrude from the outer edge.

Therefore, the snowmelt water flowing down the slope of the roof 1 or the snowmelt water melting on the perforated plate 5 cannot flow out to the outer edge of the rain gutter 3 because the perforated plate 5 has a slope lowering toward the roof 1 side. The water always flows down the slope of the perforated plate 5 and is drained from the water holes 4 into the rain gutter 3.

〔Example〕

The drawing shows that rain gutter support metal fittings 2 are connected at regular intervals on the eaves using bolts 7 and nuts 8, and a vertical plate 10 called a fascia is attached to the tip of the rain gutter support metal fittings 2 and an eave board 9 that is extended and protruded. A rain gutter 3 is installed horizontally on the rain gutter support metal fitting 2, bolts 11 are protruded from appropriate locations on the rain gutter 3, and a receiving metal fitting 12 whose base end is inclined toward the eaves is fitted to the vertical plate 10. erected by joining,
A case is shown in which a perforated plate 5 whose base end is inclined toward the eaves, like the receiving fitting 12, is fixed on this receiving fitting 12 by tightening with a nut 13.

Reference numeral 6 in the figure is a heat insulating material.

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, this invention installs a rain gutter horizontally in contact with the front side of the eaves, and covers the rain gutter with a perforated plate having a sloped surface that is low on the roof side and high on the other side. When the snow melts due to solar heat, it slides down the slope of the roof little by little, but the front end of the snow certainly touches the perforated plate, so the front end of the snow does not protrude to the outer edge of the rain gutter, and the melted snow on the roof and the perforated plate fall. Since the melted snow water is drained into the rain gutter through the water holes, it is possible to reliably prevent icicles from forming on the outer edge of the rain gutter.

At this time, the snow that covers the rain gutters acts as a shield that blocks the snowmelt water from the outside air, so the snowmelt water never comes into contact with the outside air, so it is always drained well, and the rain gutters are No icicles form on the edges.

Furthermore, since the melted snow water drips down into the rain gutter through the perforated plate, the eaves will not freeze, and the melting of snow on the roof will be promoted, resulting in better snow melting on the roof.

In addition, since the rain gutters are installed in front of the eaves, the warm indoor air rising toward the eaves hits the underside of the rain gutters, warming the rain gutters from the bottom, which prevents the rain gutters from freezing and prevents icicles. This is a highly practical icicle prevention gutter device.
