Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) This invention relates to an improvement to a gutter hanger suitable for use in suspending a gutter having ear edges on the upper ends of both side walls.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, various proposals have been made regarding gutter hangers.
For example, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-40973, hook-shaped ear edge gripping portions b are formed at both ends of a horizontal rod a and are directed inward toward each other, and a downwardly directed bolt c is passed through the center of the horizontal rod a. , a leaf spring d is clamped together with an auxiliary plate e on the lower surface of the horizontal rod a by a nut screwed onto a bolt c, and the leaf spring d is bent downward and then bent dorsally outward so that its tip is attached to the ear. The gutter hanger is shown facing close to the edge grip b. (7th
(See figure) (Problem to be solved by the present invention) However, although the above-mentioned conventional technology uses the elastic force of the leaf spring d to make it easy to attach the gutter rim, No consideration was given to loads such as when the gutter is propped up. Therefore, when these loads are applied to the rim of the gutter, the leaf spring d will buckle and deform, causing the rim of the gutter to grip the rim of the gutter hanger. There was a case where I was removed from part b.

The present invention was developed to solve the above problems, and its purpose is to make the gutter body easy to install, and to be able to withstand the loads caused by snow accumulation on the edge of the gutter, leaning on a ladder, etc. can endure,
To provide a gutter hanger that can be securely and firmly attached without coming off unexpectedly.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The gutter hanging tool of the present invention has a rising part formed above both ends of the hanging tool board, a bent part formed outward from the upper part of the rising part, and a bent part of the bent part. A hanging part is provided at the tip, a lower part of the hanging part is bent inward to provide an ear edge locking part, and an ear edge insertion gap is formed between the tip of the locking part and the rising part. In the gutter hanging tool, a triangular spring body is provided in the edge insertion gap, and the triangular spring body is attached from both sides of the hanging tool board to the rising part, so that no force is applied. In this case, the distance between the inclined side of the triangle that is close to the rising part of the triangular spring body and the rising part becomes wider toward the bent part.

(Function) With the above-described configuration, the present invention deforms both side walls of the gutter so as to narrow it slightly, and pushes up the bottom side of the triangular spring body with the ear edge of the gutter to bring the inclined side closer to the rising part, and the spring body When the rim of the gutter is inserted into the rim insertion gap of the gutter hanger against the elastic force, the rim of the gutter is locked by the rim locking portion. At this time, a gap is created between the inner wall surface of the edge and the rising part of the gutter hanger, and the triangular spring body returns to this gap with elastic force, so that no force is applied from the bottom. in this way,
Once the rim of the gutter is locked to the rim locking part of the gutter hanger, the load from snow accumulation on the gutter body, leaning of a ladder, etc. acts horizontally near the rim of the gutter, causing the triangular spring body to Even if it receives force from the edge of the gutter and transmits the force to the two sides, the inclined side and the bottom side, the sides forming the triangular spring body are connected to each other, and each side of the triangular spring body is a rigid frame structure where each side is a beam. Since the triangular spring body resists tension and compression as shown in FIG. Therefore, even if a load is applied such as snow accumulation or leaning on a ladder, the ear edge will not come off from the ear edge locking portion.

(Example) Next, an example of the gutter hanger of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

1 and 2 show the gutter hanger A of the present invention.
A mounting rod 2 is inserted into the center of the hanging tool board 1, nuts 3, 3 are screwed into the lower part of the mounting rod 2, and the hanging tool board 1, the mounting rod 2, and the nuts 3, 3 are welded together. ing. Rising portions 4, 4' are formed upward from both side portions 11, 11' of the hanging tool board 1, and bent portions 5, 5' are provided outward from the upper portions of the rising portions 4, 4'. Drooping parts 6, 6' are hung from the tips of the bent parts 5, 5', and the lower parts of the hanging parts 6, 6' are bent inward to lock the ear edges 12, 12' of the gutter B. Ear edge locking portions 7, 7' are provided. The tip portions of the ear edge locking portions 7, 7' and the rising portions 4,
Ear edge insertion gaps 8, 8' are formed between the ear edge insertion gaps 8 and 4'.

Triangular spring bodies 9, 9' are provided in the ear edge insertion gaps 8, 8'. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the triangular spring bodies 9, 9' are formed by bending a spring plate into a substantially right-angled triangular shape, each having a mounting base at each end. The mounting bases 91, 91' and the second mounting bases 95, 95' are mounted from both sides 11, 11' of the hanging tool board 1 to the rising parts 4, 4', and when no force is applied, the first mounting base 95, 95' One side of the triangle of the triangular spring bodies 9, 9' from the mounting base 91, 91' is an upwardly inclined side 92, 92' in a direction away from the rising part, and the inclined side 92,
Vertical sides 93, 93' are formed hanging from the tips of 92', and the lower ends of the vertical sides 93, 93' are bent horizontally inward at a position close to the ear edge locking parts 7, 7'. base sides 94, 94' are formed;
The tip of the 94' serves as a second attachment base 95, 95', and the second attachment base 95, 95' is superimposed on the first attachment base 91, 91' to form a rivet 10,
It is attached by fixing with 10'.

In addition, in the gutter hanging tool A of the present invention, the rising portion 4
and the rising part 4' may have the same height, but
If the rising part 4 is made lower than the rising part 4' and at the same height as the hanging part 6 as shown in FIG. 1, the first attachment base 91 and the triangular spring body 9 shown in FIG. The second attachment base 95 is attached to the rivet 10 along the lower surface near the side 11 of the hanger board 1.
At the rising part 4' on the opposite side, the first mounting base 91' and the second mounting base 95' shown in FIG. It is fixedly attached along with rivets 10'.

When gutter B is hung from gutter hanging tool A of the present invention, it is done as follows.

Gutter B has ears 1 that protrude outward at the upper ends of both side walls.
2, 12' are provided. While deforming both side walls of the gutter B so as to narrow them slightly, the ear edges 12,
12' is inserted into the ear edge insertion gaps 8, 8'. At this time, the top surface of the ear edges 12, 12' of the gutter B pushes up the bottom sides 94, 94' of the triangular spring bodies 9, 9', and the triangular spring bodies 9, 9' become triangular as shown in FIG. Inclined sides 92, 92' with connecting points P, P' between inclined sides 92, 92' and bases 94, 94' as fulcrums.
The ear edges 12, 12' push up the bottom sides 94, 94' of the triangular spring bodies 9, 9' and the ear edge locking parts 7, 7 ’, the ear edges 12,1
A gap is created between the inner wall surface of the gutter 2' and the rising parts 4, 4' of the gutter hanging tool A. In this gap, the triangular spring body 9,
9' returns with elastic force, and its base 94, 94' becomes the 6th
As shown in the figure, it becomes horizontal.

In this way, the bottom sides 94 of the triangular spring bodies 9, 9',
When 94' is in a horizontal state, the edge 12,1 of the gutter B
Even if a horizontal load is applied to 2' in the direction of the arrow s, the vertical sides 93, 93' are connected to the edges 12, 12 of the gutter B because the sides forming the triangular spring bodies 9, 9' are connected to each other. The force is received from the base 92, 92' and the base 94, 94'. That is, since the triangular spring bodies 9, 9' resist tension and compression like a rigid frame structure of a beam, the triangular spring bodies 9, 9' do not undergo buckling deformation.
Therefore, the ear edges 12, 12' will not come off from the ear edge locking parts 7, 7' even if loads such as snow accumulation or a ladder are applied.

(Effect of the invention) The gutter hanging tool of the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, and in particular, since the triangular spring body is provided in the rim insertion gap, the rim of the gutter can be inserted into the rim insertion gap, and the triangular spring body When the bottom edge is pushed up and engaged with the edge locking portion, and the triangular spring body is positioned between the edge of the gutter and the rising portion, the edge of the gutter is stably locked against external forces.
Therefore, even if a load is applied, such as snow accumulation or leaning on a ladder, the rim will not come off the rim locking portion, and the gutter will not come off unexpectedly during construction or use.
