Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a gutter joint used for connecting eaves gutters.

(Prior Art) Regarding the connection structure at the corner of the eaves of the eaves gutter provided on the gable roof as shown in FIG. 2 or the capped roof as shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, the lower end of a sloped eaves gutter 100 disposed along the slope of the roof and one end of a curved gutter 101 disposed at the corner of the eaves are connected via a gutter joint 102, and proposed a structure in which the other end of the curved gutter 101 is connected to a horizontal eave gutter 103 arranged horizontally along the eaves (Japanese Patent Application No. 60-257394 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 62-117946)). )).

In this connection structure, rainwater flowing inside the inclined eaves gutter 100 is transferred from the inclined eaves gutter 100 to the gutter joint 1.
02, flows into the curved gutter 101, changes direction by 90 degrees, and flows into the horizontal eave gutter 103.

In this connection structure, the inclined eaves gutter 100 is approximately
It is sometimes installed at an angle of inclination of more than 20 degrees,
There is a drawback that rainwater that has flowed into the curved gutter 101 from the sloped eaves gutter 100 may overflow or scatter from the curved gutter 101.

In addition, as a conventional technology that can be used to prevent rainwater from overflowing from curved gutters as described above, for example, a comb-shaped water stop plate is fixedly installed inside an ordinary eaves gutter (Jikkosho). 51-37245 (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-40535), and one in which comb teeth are integrally formed and erected at the bottom of an ordinary eaves gutter (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 57-40535) are known.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in the case of such conventional technology, water stop plates and comb teeth are provided in the eaves gutter to stop rainwater. Although it is possible to stop water, it does not effectively prevent rainwater from overflowing from the curved gutters at the corners of the eaves, and because the comb teeth are long, they are easily clogged with debris; In some cases, the comb teeth were broken due to large amounts of rainwater flowing into the combs.

(Means for solving the problem) The present invention was made with the purpose of solving the above-mentioned problems. In a gutter joint that connects the lower end of a sloped eaves gutter installed to one end of a horizontal eaves gutter installed at the eaves, small protrusions are arranged in a staggered manner at the bottom so as to continue facing the direction of rainwater flow. It was a means of protruding.

(Function) Therefore, the present invention has a small protrusion at the bottom of the gutter joint that connects the lower end of the inclined eaves gutter installed along the slope of the roof and one end of the horizontal eave gutter installed at the eaves. Since they are protruded in a continuous staggered arrangement facing the direction of rainwater flow, it is possible to slow down the flow of rainwater at the curved gutter at the corner of the eaves, where rainwater tends to overflow. .

In addition, because the small protrusions are arranged in a continuous staggered manner so as to face the direction of rainwater flow, the small protrusions can exert a deceleration effect on rainwater over a long range, and because they are small protrusions, , it is less likely to be clogged with dirt or damaged.

(Example) Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

First, the configuration of the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 will be explained.

The gutter joint 1 of this embodiment is used for a sloped eave gutter 2 that is installed along the slope of a roof, such as a gable roof as shown in Fig. 2 or a capped roof as shown in Fig. 3.
and a horizontal eave gutter 5 disposed at the eaves of the roof are connected via a curved gutter 3.

This gutter joint 1 is a variable angle joint made of synthetic resin in which an inclined end portion 11 connected to the lower end of the inclined eaves gutter 2 and a horizontal connecting portion 12 connected to one end of the curved gutter 3 are integrally molded. It is formed.

On the bottom of the gutter joint 1, small protrusions 4 are integrally formed and protruded in a staggered arrangement.

The small protrusion 4 is formed into a small protrusion whose long side is perpendicular to the flow direction of rainwater, and extends from the horizontal connection part 12 to the inclined connection part 11 on the left and right sides.
~3 rows, 5 of which are arranged in a continuous staggered manner so as to face each other in the direction of rainwater flow.

Further, one end of the horizontal eave gutter 5 is connected to the other end of the curved gutter 3.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

Rainwater flowing in the inclined eaves gutter 2 due to rainfall flows into the curved gutter 3 through the gutter joint 1, and then flows into the horizontal eave gutter 5.

At this time, the rainwater flowing into the gutter joint 1 from the inclined eaves gutter 2 is decelerated by resistance from the small protrusions 4. In this case, since the small protrusions 4 are arranged in a continuous staggered manner so as to face the flow direction of rainwater, it is possible to exert a deceleration effect on rainwater over a long range, and the deceleration can be applied to the curved gutter 3. Since it is carried out immediately before the rainwater is poured, the flow into the curved gutter 3 becomes gentle, and overflowing and scattering of rainwater from the curved gutter 3 is prevented.

Furthermore, since the small protrusions 4 are less likely to become clogged with dirt or the like, damage to the protrusions themselves can be prevented.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above in detail with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and any design changes or the like that do not depart from the gist of the present invention are included in the present invention. It can be done.

For example, in the embodiment, the small protrusions are arranged in a continuous staggered manner, with five small protrusions facing each other in the flow direction of rainwater in two to three rows on the left and right, but the arrangement is not limited to this. The greater the number and the wider the continuous range, the more effective deceleration can be achieved.

In addition, in the example, a gutter joint that connects an inclined eaves gutter and a horizontal eaves gutter via a curved gutter is taken as an example, but a gutter joint that is integrated with a curved gutter and directly connects an inclined eaves gutter and a horizontal eaves gutter is used. A gutter-shaped gutter joint may be taken as an example.

(Effects of the invention) As explained above, in the gutter joint of the present invention, by providing a small protrusion on the bottom, rainwater is diverted from the curved part of the gutter at the corner of the eaves, where rainwater tends to overflow. By arranging the small protrusions in a continuous staggered manner so as to face the flow direction, it is possible to exert a deceleration effect on rainwater over a long range, so that rainwater from the curved part of the gutter can be slowed down. Overflow and scattering can be effectively prevented.

Furthermore, since the deceleration means is a small protrusion, it is less likely to be clogged with dirt or damaged.
