Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial field of application] This invention relates to a gutter holder, particularly a gutter holder used in snowy regions.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, this type of gutter holder has been designed so that the gutter holder or the eave end fixing rod can be rotatably attached so that the eaves gutter can be stored under the eaves during snowfall, or the eave end fixing rod can be bent. was commonly used.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, the storage of these gutter holder fittings has been done exclusively manually, making installation and removal by hanging on a ladder extremely complicated.

This invention was devised to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional products described above, and aims to provide a gutter holder that automatically stores the gutter in the eaves without manual intervention.

[Means for solving problems]

This idea was devised in view of the above, and includes a guide tool extending in the form of a cantilever near the upper end of an eave fixture made of a vertical strap, and a vertical strap having a gutter holder at the upper end. The lower end of the support is rotatably attached to the lower end of the eaves fixture so that the upper end of the support slides in the front-rear direction along the guide, and the eaves fixture and support are The problem was solved by connecting them using shape memory alloy spring material.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, this invention will be described in more detail with regard to the embodiment shown in the drawings. Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of the gutter holder of this invention, and 1 in the figure shows the strap standing vertically. 2 is a guide tool extending forward in the shape of a cantilever from the vicinity of the upper end of the eave end fixing device 1, and is a guide tool 2, which is a support tool described later. It is formed into a frame plate shape so that a slit 21 that can slide in the front and back direction near the upper end is formed, 3 is a gutter holder for fixing the eaves gutter, and 4 is a gutter holder. It is a support consisting of a vertical strap suspended from the fixture 3, and is rotatably attached to the lower end of the eaves fixture 1 so that its upper end can slide in the front-rear direction along the guide 2. 5 is the eaves fixture 1 and the support 4
The gutter holder 3 is located at the eaves at high temperatures, and
On the other hand, when the temperature is low, the gutter holder 3 is stored so as to be located under the eaves.

In addition, 6 in the figure is the dragonfly (common name) of the eaves fixture 1,
Reference numeral 7 indicates a fixing piece fixed near the lower end of the eaves fixture 1.

[Effect of idea]

As is clear from the above, the gutter holder of this invention has a guide 2 extending in a cantilever shape near the upper end of the eave fixture 1 made of a vertical band, and a gutter holder 3 at the upper end.
The lower end of the support 4 made of a vertical band having a vertical band is rotatably attached to the lower end of the eaves fixture 1 so that the upper end of the support 4 slides in the front-rear direction along the guide 2. When installed, the eaves fixture 1 and the support 4 are connected by a shape memory alloy spring material 5, so as shown in FIG. 2, the shape memory alloy spring material 5 expands and contracts with changes in temperature.
When the temperature is low, such as during the snowy season, the gutter holder 3 rotates toward the building and the eaves gutter is stored under the eaves, while at high temperatures, the shape memory alloy spring material 5 is restored and the eaves gutter is positioned at the eaves. , which does not require manual labor unlike conventional products, resulting in significantly improved workability.
