Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] (Purpose of the invention) This invention is a gutter receiver with a new structure for installing and fixing the gutter that collects rainwater from the roof and guides it to the ground at the tip of the eaves of the building. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a gutter receiving metal fitting particularly for use in snowy regions, which has little risk of deformation even when subjected to snow load and whose attachment angle to a "fascia" can be easily adjusted.

(Prior art) The most common structure of the gutter receiver metal fittings that have been proposed and used so far is to continuously bend a relatively thick piece of iron, forming the curved part of the gutter receiver and the fixed part. It consisted of an integral structure.

This extremely common structure of gutter receiving metal fittings has no problems when used in areas where it hardly snows, is inexpensive, and can be used as a ``fascia''.
It is widely used because the installation angle can be easily adjusted by hand, but in areas where there is a lot of snow, it is difficult to adjust the mounting angle between the snow stopper and the roof. However, the snow that had piled up on the eaves slid down and covered the gutter.
When a heavy snow load is applied to the gutters, the weight may cause the gutters to become deformed in various places after the winter, the slope of the raindrops may become uneven, and the rain will no longer flow smoothly, or in the worst case scenario. for,
It often happens that the gutter bracket becomes completely deformed, causing the gutter to come loose and sag, resulting in a tragic situation.

Therefore, in areas with heavy snowfall, many households go out of their way to hire contractors to remove their gutters only during the winter.

Therefore, recently, gutter receiver metal fittings with a structure in which the curved part of the gutter receiver is reinforced have started to be available, but these have disadvantages such as higher unit price and angle adjustment not being possible, so they are not becoming more popular. We haven't reached that point yet.

This invention was developed and completed in view of such circumstances, and has the configuration as detailed below.

(Structure of the invention) As is clearly understood from the representative embodiment of this invention shown in the drawings, the gutter receiving metal fitting of this invention rotatably connects the gutter receiving curved part 1 to the upper end of the fixed part 2. At the same time, a nut 3 is fixed to the lower surface of the gutter receiver curved part 1, and a bolt 4 screwed into the nut 3.
The tip of the fixing part 2 is loosely fitted into a receiving part 5 formed at the lower end of the fixing part 2.

The gutter receiver curved part 1 has a curved part that follows the semicircular outer shape that is the cross-sectional shape of the gutter 8. A continuous horizontal portion 11 is formed at the end of the horizontal portion 11, and the end portion of the horizontal portion 11 is a notched pivot portion 12.

The fixing part 2 is formed of a strong material such as a banded iron material, and a separate thin plate part that is fitted and integrated with the material. A notched pivot portion 22 that fits into the fitting portion 12 is formed, and the lower end of the thin plate portion of the fixing portion 2 is folded back to the back side to form a receiving portion 5, while a “fascia” 6 that is an eaves member is formed. Nail hole 2
1, 21, . . . are formed on both sides of the thin plate portion of the fixing portion 2.

The nut 3 is welded to the lower surface of the gutter receiver curved portion 1.

The bolt 4 is screwed into the nut 3, and its tip is loosely fitted into the receiving part 5 formed at the lower end of the fixing part 2, and by rotating the bolt 4, the tip moves back and forth and is fixed. The function is to move the lower end of the part 2 back and forth, and to enable the fixed part 2, which is rotatably connected to the notched pivot part 12 of the gutter receiving curved part 1, to be adjusted to an appropriate angle.

In addition, a plurality of guidelines are formed in the threaded area of this bolt 4 to mark the angle of the fixing part 2 with respect to the gutter receiving curved part 1, and a "fascia" 6 is formed.
It will be extremely convenient to use if the guide guides the setting of the inclination angle of the fixed part 2, which must be changed in order to install the gutter receiving curved part 1 substantially horizontally, according to the angle of the gutter receiving curved part 1.

In the figure, 41 indicates a bolt 4 loosely fitted into the receiving part 5.
The tip is a retaining part that prevents it from being pulled out from the same place.

(How to use) As shown in the side view including a partial cross section shown in FIG. It is attached to "hidden" 6 and installed.

This horizontal installation method involves placing one metal fitting on the installation location in advance to determine the inclination angle of the fixing part 2 with respect to the gutter receiver curved part 1, and adjusting all the metal fittings using that determined angle as a model. , then nail this metal fitting in place, or
After first nailing and installing the fixing part 2 to the "fascia" 6 without adjusting all the metal fittings, turn the head of the bolt 4 of each metal fitting by hand or with a wrench, etc. to curve the gutter receiver one by one. Adjust so that the top surface of section 1 is approximately horizontal. In any case, the guideline formed in the thread groove of the bolt 4 is effective for this angle adjustment.

In the figure, 61 is a rafter, 7 is a metal roof plate, 71 is a draining board, and 8 is a gutter.

(Function and Effect) The gutter receiving metal fitting of this invention, which is constructed as described above, has the apex at the point where the gutter receiving curved part 1 and the fixed part 2 are rotatably connected, and the bolt 4
Since it is formed in a triangular structure with the base as
It is strong enough to withstand even if a heavy snowfall covers the top and a considerable amount of snow loads are applied to it. You can omit all unnecessary expenses such as reinstalling a gutter that has been removed, and even if the unit price per piece is a little high, the gutter holder will be profitable in the long run. This is the result.

In addition, even with differences in the mounting structure of the "fascia" 6, the angle of the fixed part 2 with respect to the gutter receiver curved part 1 can be changed extremely easily by adjusting the rotation of the bolt 4, so it is versatile. This is a gutter receiving metal fitting.

Furthermore, the gutter receiving curved part 1 and the nut 3, the fixing part 2 and the receiving part 5, and the bolt 4 can be manufactured as separate parts, and can be easily manufactured without the need for large-scale equipment unlike conventional ones. Therefore, in some cases, it has the potential to become a product for local cottage industries, making it a unique product for absorbing the labor of farmers who are unemployed during the winter.

As mentioned above, the gutter holder of this invention not only has excellent functions and effects that could not be achieved with conventional ones, both in terms of strength and efficiency of use. However, it has been highly evaluated in terms of economic effects and has appropriate characteristics, and can be said to be an extremely useful device.
