Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a water collector that can be suitably employed in snowy areas.

[Background Art] As shown in FIG. 7, in the conventional water collector A', a water collector decoration 2' is placed upward on the edge of the upper opening 3 of the water collector body 1 on the side opposite to the outdoor B side. Although it is installed by standing up, in snowy areas, snow from the roof C4
Due to the fall, the water collector decoration 2' came off and the attachment part was damaged.

[Purpose of the invention] This invention was created in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is not only to increase the design effect by attaching water collector decorations, but also to improve the design effect by attaching water collector decorations to the roof. To provide a water collector in which the decoration of the water collector does not come off or the attachment part is not damaged due to fallen snow.

[Disclosure of the invention] In the water collector of the present invention, the lower end of the water collector decoration 2 is rotatably attached to the water collector body 1, and the water collector decoration 2 is placed above the upper opening 3 of the water collector body 1. This structure allows the device to be freely raised and lowered from an upright position to a collapsed position toward the outdoor B side, and with this configuration, the above object can be achieved. That is, by making the water collector decoration 2 stand up and protrude upward from the upper opening 3 of the water collector body 1, the design effect of the water collector decoration 2 can be exhibited. In this case, by artificially tilting the water collector decoration 2 toward the outdoor B side, the water collector decoration 2 will automatically fall toward the outdoor B side due to the weight of the fallen snow. Since the upper surface of the water collector decoration 2 is sloped downward, even if snow that has accumulated on the roof C falls, the snow will fall onto the water collector decoration 2.
Since the snow will slide down the upper surface of the water collector decoration 2, the impact of falling snow will be alleviated accordingly, so there is no risk of damage to the water collector decoration 2.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. The water collector main body 1 has a rectangular tube shape, and is attached to an eaves gutter 9 through a side opening 7, and a gutter 11 is connected to the lower opening via an elbow 10. The water collector decoration 2 has a substantially U-shape in plan view, with the outer surface serving as the decoration part 5, and the leg pieces 6 extending from the lower ends of both side pieces 2a.
protrudes downward. This water collector decoration 2
The leg pieces 6 are rotatably attached to the tops of both sides of the outdoor B side of the water collector body 1 using pins 8, and the water collector decoration 2 is raised above the upper opening 3 of the water collector body 1. It can be freely raised to the position where it is lying on the outdoor B side. Therefore, during the snowy season, as shown in Fig. 4, by tilting the water collector decoration 2 toward the outdoor B side and positioning it in a substantially horizontal state, the water collection can be reduced by the weight of the falling snow 4. Since the decoration 2 falls to the outside B side, even if the snow 4 accumulated on the roof C melts and falls to the water collector A, the snow 4 will not collide with the water collector decoration 2. .

[Effect of the invention] In the present invention, the lower end of the water collector decoration is rotatably attached to the water collector body, and the water collector decoration is raised upward from the upper opening of the water collector body. Since it can be freely raised and folded to the outdoor side,
By making the water collector decoration stand up and protrude upward from the upper opening of the water collector body, the original design effect of the water collector decoration can be exhibited. When the water collector decoration is artificially pushed down to the outdoor side, the water collector decoration automatically falls to the outdoor side due to the weight of the falling snow.In such a situation, the water collector decoration Since the top surface is slanted downward, even if snow that accumulates on the roof falls, it will slide down the top surface of the water collector decoration, which will reduce the impact caused by the fall. Therefore, there is no risk of damage to the water collector decoration.

[Brief explanation of the drawing]

Figure 1 is a front view showing one embodiment of the present invention;
The figure is a side view of the same as above, Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the water collector decoration in the same as above, Figure 4 is a partially omitted schematic side sectional view showing a construction example of the same as above, and Figure 5 is a construction example of a conventional example. It is a partially omitted schematic side sectional view showing A, B, the outdoors, 1, the main body of the water collector, 2, the decoration of the water collector, and 3, the upper opening.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] The lower end of the water collector decoration is rotatably attached to the water collector body, and the water collector decoration can be freely raised from standing above the upper opening of the water collector body to falling down toward the outdoors. and the upper surface of the water collector decoration is inclined downward when the water collector decoration is fallen down to the outdoor side.
