(Prior Art) A special metal fitting is used to attach a vertical gutter to the side of a building. An example of this can be explained using Figure 6.
The metal fitting A in the illustrated example is a metal fitting for a square gutter, and includes a leg part _A1 that is driven into the side of the building and is fixed, and an annular holding member _A2 that can be opened and holds the outer periphery of the gutter T. The pipe T is attached to the side of the building by the metal fitting A as shown in the figure.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In the installation structure of the vertical gutter as described above, the vertical gutter T
The holding members _A2 of the metal fittings A are visible in the form of bands at intervals on the circumferential body of the pipe, thereby highlighting the existence of the trough T. The recent trend in general house styles is to make rain gutters as unnoticeable as possible, and the above-mentioned mounting structure is no longer able to meet the demands of the times.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned problems. When attaching a downpipe to the side of a building using a mounting bracket, the present invention is designed to prevent the holding member of the fixture from being exposed on the outer periphery of the downpipe. The aim is to respond to the above trends.

That is, the gist of the present invention is that the top of the leg is provided with a holding piece having projecting pieces on both sides, and the leg is provided with a vertical gutter mounting bracket fixed to the side of the building, and a vertical gutter attached to the outer side. It consists of a vertical trough including a fitting portion having a pair of parallel inward locking claws along the direction, and the locking claws are elastically engaged with the protruding piece from the outside to engage the fitting portion. The vertical pipe is characterized in that the holding piece is fitted and received, and in this fitted state, the holding piece is pressed against the inner bottom wall of the fitting part, and the vertical gutter is tightly fixed to the mounting bracket. It is in the mounting structure of the gutter.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described in detail along with its operation based on the accompanying drawings. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a typical example of the structure of the present invention, and FIGS. 2 to 5 are cross-sectional views of other embodiments.

(Embodiment 1) In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a mounting bracket that is driven and fixed to a corner of a building H, and is composed of a leg 11 and a holding piece 12 fixed to the top thereof. The holding piece 12 is bent symmetrically around the leg 11 and toward the distal end of the leg 11, and both sides of the holding piece 12 are bent symmetrically around the leg 11.
It is said to be 21,121. On the other hand, reference numeral 2 designates a rectangular vertical gutter, one corner of which is recessed toward the center to receive the holding piece 12 and serves as a fitting part 20 along the longitudinal direction, and both side edges of this fitting part 20 The locking claws 21, 21 facing inward are connected to each other. In the figure, reference numeral 111 is a positioning ring fixed to the leg portion 11, and is used to maintain an appropriate driving depth when driving the metal fitting 1 into the building H.

To attach the downspout 2 to the side of the building H using such a metal fitting 1, first drive the leg 11 of the metal fitting 1 into the corner of the building H, and bring the ring 111 into contact with the building H. to properly position it. Next, the fitting portion 20 of the downpipe 2 is fitted onto the holding piece 12 of the metal fitting 1, and is pressed toward the distal end of the leg portion 11 to press the inner wall of the fitting portion 20 and the holding piece 12, The locking claw 2 is attached to the projecting pieces 121, 121.
1 and 21 are elastically engaged from the outside to fix the downpipe 2. The installation of the vertical gutter 2 is completed by fixing the metal fittings 1 to the building H at appropriate intervals vertically and fixing the vertical gutter 2 thereto in the manner described above.

When the vertical gutter 2 is installed in this manner, the metal fittings 1 are not exposed on the circumference of the vertical gutter 2 unlike in the past, and the appearance is simple and attractive. Gutter 2 does not make you aware of the rain gutter and looks like a building H
It is seen as if it were part of the .

(Example 2) In Figure 2, the effective drainage area of the downpipe is made larger than in the case of the first example, and one corner of the rectangular downpipe 2 is fitted so as to be cut diagonally. A receiving part 201 is provided, and the shape of the holding part 12 of the metal fitting 1 is made to match the shape of the fitting part 201, and the inner bottom wall of the fitting part 201 and the holding part 12 are brought into pressure contact with each other in the same manner as described above, and the protrusion is made. The gutter is fixed by elastically engaging the locking claws 21, 21 with the pieces 121, 121 from the outside. Therefore, the metal fitting 1 is not exposed to the circumferential body of the downpipe 2, and the same effect as described above can be achieved.

(Example 3) In Fig. 3, in order to further increase the effective drainage cross-sectional area, the internal shape of the rectangular downpipe 2 is not changed, and L-shaped locking claw bases 210, 210 are installed on two adjacent sides. The locking claws 21, 21 are provided protrudingly and connected to each other at the tips thereof, and the locking claws 21, 21 are directed inward toward each other, and the circumferential surface of the down pipe 2 between the locking claws 21, 21 is used as a fitting portion 202. On the other hand, the holding piece 12 of the metal fitting 1 is fixedly provided in a Y-shape, and the projecting pieces 121, 121 at the tips thereof are oriented toward the tips of the legs 11. Even in such a case, the inner bottom wall of the fitting part 202 and the holding part piece 12 are brought into pressure contact, and the protruding part 12
The vertical gutter 2 is stably fixed to the metal fitting 1 by the elastic engagement of the locking claws 21, 21 with the locking claws 21, 121 from the outside, and the metal fitting 1 is hardly exposed on the circumference of the vertical gutter 2, and the same as above is achieved. The effect of this can be obtained. Particularly in this case, it is effective to use it at the corner of the building H as shown in the figure.

(Embodiment 4) Fig. 4 shows a structure in which it is impossible to drive the metal fitting 1 diagonally into the corner of the building H and it is desired to attach the vertical gutter 2 to the corner.
This embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except that the fixed relationship between the leg portion 11 of the metal fitting 1 and the holding piece 12 is set as shown in the figure. Therefore, it goes without saying that the operation and effect are the same as those of the above embodiments.

(Embodiment 5) Fig. 5 shows an example in which the hook is attached to the wall of the building H, and the locking claw bases 210, 210 similar to those in the third embodiment are provided on one side of the rectangular downpipe 2. Protruding,
At the tips of the bases 210, 210, locking claws 21, 21 facing inward are connected to each other, and these locking claws 21, 21
The circumferential surface of the vertical gutter 2 in between is used as a fitting part 202.
Further, the leg portion 11 and the holding piece 12 of the metal fitting 1 are formed into a T-shape, and protrusions 121, 1 are provided on both sides of the holding piece 12 to elastically engage with the inside of the locking claws 21, 21.
21 are coupled. It is obvious that the fixing relationship of the downpipe 2 to the metal fitting 1 in this case is also the same as above, and therefore the effect is also the same as above.

Incidentally, in each of the above embodiments, a rectangular downpipe has been described, but it goes without saying that the same effect can be achieved even if a round downpipe is used. It goes without saying that other modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

(Effect of the invention) As described above, the downpipe mounting structure of the present invention consists of a downpipe mounting bracket that has protrusions on both sides and has legs that are fixed to the side of the building, and Since it consists of a vertical gutter that is fixed to the mounting bracket by elastic engagement from the outside with the protrusion of the locking pawl, the band-shaped metal fitting is exposed around the vertical gutter as in the past. There is no rain gutter, the exterior is simple and attractive, and the vertical gutter does not make you think of a rain gutter and looks like a part of the building, which is fully compatible with the above-mentioned trend. Moreover, in the above mounting structure, since the inner bottom wall of the fitting portion and the holding piece are in pressure contact, an extremely firm and stable mounting structure is maintained.
