Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Technical Field) The present invention relates to a structure that rationally accommodates the gap between a shutter box attached under the eaves and the soffit.

(Background technology) In the past, the gap between the shutter box installed under the eaves and the soffit was left as it was, which not only looked bad but also allowed swallows, sparrows, etc. There was a problem with the insects getting in and building a nest on top of the shutter box.

(Purpose of the invention) The present invention was made in view of the drawbacks of the conventional example described above, and its purpose is to close the gap between the soffit and the top surface of the shutter box with a cover body. Prevents swallows and sparrows from entering,
Moreover, the purpose is to allow the cover body to be easily attached.

(Disclosure of the invention) The housing between the shutter box and the eaves of the invention consists of a front cover 2a and side covers 2b on both sides.
A cover body 2 is formed with a substantially U-shaped horizontal cross section, and the gap B between the front end and both side edges of the shutter box 1 installed under the eaves and the soffit A is covered by the cover body 2.
The lower end of the cover body 2 is fixed to the shutter box 1, and the front cover 2a of the cover body 2 is closed.
The retaining grooves 3 having a substantially U-shaped cross section provided at the upper ends of both side covers 2b are fitted into the edges of the eaves ceiling material 4 of the eave soffit A, thereby achieving the above purpose. did it.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Reference numeral 1 denotes a shutter box installed directly above a window, etc. under the eaves of a roof 5 or eaves, and a shutter (not shown) for a storm door for blocking the window, etc. is lowered into the shutter box 1. It can be wound freely. Therefore, a gap B is created between the top surface of the shutter box 1 and the soffit A. 2 is a cover body, and the cover body 2 consists of a front cover 2a and a side cover 2b. A lower horizontal piece 6 is bent at the lower edge of the front cover 2a, and the lower horizontal piece 6 is hooked onto the step 7 on the front of the shutter box 1, and the lower part of the front cover 2a is screwed onto the upper part of the shutter box 1. 8 etc., and the lower part of the side cover 2b is attached to the upper side of the shutter box 1, so that the cover body 2 covers the gap B so as to surround the gap B. It is attached. Furthermore, a front cover 2a and a side cover 2b
A retaining groove 3 having a U-shaped cross section is provided on each upper edge as shown in FIG. The upper end of the cover body 2 is fixed to the eave ceiling material 4 by being inserted into the edge of the eave ceiling material 4. Incidentally, for this purpose, the eave ceiling material 4 is omitted in advance from the soffit A above the shutter box 1.

(Effects of the invention) Since the present invention is constructed as described above, the gap between the shutter box and the soffit is hidden by the cover body, which not only improves the appearance but also attracts birds such as swallows and sparrows. This has the advantage of preventing foreign predators and preventing swallows and sparrows from building nests on top of the shutter box. Furthermore, the upper end of the cover body can be attached by simply fitting the retaining groove to the eave ceiling material, which has the advantage of easy construction. In addition, the front cover and the side covers on both sides form a cover body having a substantially U-shaped horizontal cross section, and the retaining grooves each having a substantially U-shaped cross section are provided at the upper ends of the front cover and both side covers of the cover body. Since it is fitted to the edge of the eaves ceiling material on the soffit, a gap will be created between it and the edge of the eaves ceiling material at the front side of the shutter box due to the engagement with the retaining groove provided on the front cover. In addition, the locking grooves provided on the side covers allow for positioning without creating any gaps between the cover and the edges of the eave ceiling materials on both sides of the shutter box. There is an advantage that mutual positioning can be performed accurately without creating a gap between the three sides of the body and each eaves ceiling material.
