Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field The present invention improves the structure of a water collector that collects rainwater flowing into eaves gutters, and the connection part of the anchor body that connects the water collector and the downspout connection pipe. It is related to.

Conventional technology Normally, in order to guide rainwater that has flowed into the eaves gutter placed along the eaves of a house to the ground and drain it, a water collection system is placed at an appropriate position on the eaves gutter a as shown in Figure 3. The container b collects rainwater that has flowed into the eaves gutter a, and the rainwater is discharged to the ground through the anchor body c fitted into the lower end opening of the water collector b, the downspout connecting pipe d, and the downspout e. There is.

To attach the conventional anchor body c to the water collector b, as shown in FIG. 4, the anchor body A fitting part 4 formed on the periphery of the upper end opening 3 of the opening 3 is fitted, and the two opposing surfaces are fastened with screws 5 to achieve the fitting.

In addition, the shape of the anchor body c near the upper end opening 3 is rounded downward and inward at the fitting part for positioning when fitting to the water collector b and for improving the aesthetic appearance. A neck portion 6 that is indented in the shape of a shape is formed.

Problems to be solved by the invention In the mounting method using screws, a slight play is provided on the fitting surfaces of the water collector and the anchor body c to make it easier to fit, and even after screwing, the fitting does not occur. There are some gaps between the parts, and rainwater tends to leak through these gaps. In other words, when a large amount of rainwater falls like a waterfall from the eaves gutter a into the water collector b due to heavy rain, etc., the falling rainwater falls on the rounded inner surface of the neck 6 of the anchor body c that faces it. 6a, rebounds from that part, enters the gap between the fitting part of the water collector, which is the connection part, and the fitting part of the anchor body, and leaks to the outside. This rainwater leakage is a fatal defect in rain gutters.

Therefore, the present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, and although the fitting part of the water collector and anchor body is provided with some looseness to facilitate assembly, it is easy to assemble. Even if a large amount of rainwater falls into the water collector later,
It is an object of the present invention to provide a connection part structure that prevents the rainwater from leaking to the outside from a gap between a fitting part of a water collector and an anchor body.

Means for Solving the Problems To solve this problem, the present invention provides a water collector that collects rainwater that has flowed into the eaves gutter, and a connecting part structure of the anchor body that connects the water collector and the downspout connecting pipe, with an upper end opening. The lower half part is formed into a cylindrical shape having approximately the same diameter as the inner diameter of the lower end opening of the water collector, and the lower half part is formed into a cylindrical shape having approximately the same diameter as the upper inner diameter of the anchor body. The intended purpose was achieved by adopting a structure in which a guide cylinder with a flange part that engages with the stepped part formed on the water container is inserted inside the connection part between the water collector and the anchor body. It was designed to do so.

Function According to this configuration, even if a large amount of rainwater falls from the eaves gutter, the rainwater hits the opposing inner wall of the guide tube and flows down toward the anchor body. Therefore, rainwater falling from the eaves gutter does not directly hit the upper inner wall of the anchor body, so rainwater does not enter the connection between the water collector and the anchor body.
Furthermore, even if rainwater enters between the flange of the guide tube and the step of the water collector, the rainwater will flow into the anchor body from between the outer wall of the guide tube and the inner wall of the anchor body. Also, it will not invade the connection part.

Embodiment Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings.

b is a water collector (anchor), and the water collector b
Fitting recesses 11, 11' into which the eaves troughs a, a' are fitted and held are cut out on both opposing side surfaces of the upper part of the housing.

Further, a fitted portion 14 is formed on the periphery of the lower end opening 12 of the water collector b, into which a fitting portion 13 formed at the upper end opening periphery of the anchor body c is fitted.

An arc-shaped neck portion 15 is formed on the lower side of the fitting portion 13 of the anchor body c. 16
is a screw for fixing the anchor body c to the water collector b.

Reference numeral 17 denotes a guide tube interposed at the connection between the water collector b and the anchor body c, and the periphery of its upper end opening 18 is made approximately the same diameter as the inner diameter of the lower end opening 12 of the water collector b. Moreover, the lower half part is formed into a cylindrical shape having approximately the same diameter as the inner diameter of the upper part 19 of the anchor body c. By the way, at the periphery of the upper end opening 18 of the guide tube 17, there is a stepped portion 2 formed in the water collector b.
A flange portion 21 is formed to be engaged with 0.

The guide tube 17 configured as described above is fitted into the water collector b from the upper end opening of the water collector b, and the guide tube is configured to collect water by engaging the flange portion 21 with the stepped portion of the water collector. It is set inside the connection between the vessel and the anchor body.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which guide walls 22, 2 whose upper ends are in contact with the lower surfaces of the eaves gutters a, a' are placed on the upper surface of the flange portion 21 of the guide tube 17.
2' are integrally erected so that the guide walls 22, 22' also catch rainwater.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a connection part structure of a water collector that collects rainwater flowing into an eaves gutter, and an anchor body that connects the water collector and a downspout connection pipe. The water collector is formed into a cylindrical shape with a lower half having approximately the same diameter as the upper inner diameter of the anchor body. The structure is such that a guide tube with a flange that engages with the formed step is inserted inside the connecting part between the water collector and the anchor body, so that it can be easily connected to the fitted part of the water collector. Rainwater does not enter the gap between the fitting parts of the anchor body.

Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent rainwater from leaking to the outside from the connection between the water collector and the anchor body. Further, according to the present invention, since it is only necessary to insert the guide tube through the upper end opening of the water collector, it is possible to easily implement the guide tube into an existing rain gutter.
