Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an eaves trough which is provided along the eaves of a roof and receives rainwater that flows down from the roof, and in particular, eaves troughs that prevent dead leaves and the like from clogging the flow path of the rainwater. Regarding

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, eaves gutters provided in houses and the like are groove-shaped members provided along the eaves of a sloping roof and are supported so as to have a gentle slope at the position where rainwater flowing down from the roof surface is received. To be done.

Such eaves gutter collects rainwater flowing down the roof surface and flowing down from the eaves, and makes it flow down in a certain direction in the eaves gutter.
It is designed to drain to the ground by a vertical gutter installed at an appropriate position.

In addition, a vertical plate called a nose cover or the like may be provided at the eaves edge so as to surround the roof (see, for example, JP-A-62-280447). Such a vertical plate is generally provided at a position facing the eaves and spaced from the eaves, and the eaves gutter is provided between the vertical plate and the eaves.

[0005]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the eaves trough as described above, when dead leaves, dust, and the like are accumulated in the eaves trough, the flow path of rainwater is obstructed or the outlet to the downspout is clogged. Then, there is a problem that rainwater overflows from the eaves when there is rainfall.

[0006] In addition, a vertical plate (nasal cover, etc.) is provided at the eaves of the roof, and when the space between the eaves and this vertical plate is small, the eaves trough and the interior of the vertical gutter cannot be easily cleaned from this gap. There is a problem in that the roof plate must be removed to remove dead leaves that have accumulated, and cleaning must be performed.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to prevent rainwater from overflowing from eaves gutter due to accumulation of dead leaves and the like. It is an object of the present invention to provide an eaves gutter that can easily remove the above.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the invention according to claim 1 is an eaves trough which is provided along the eaves of a roof and receives rainwater flowing down from the roof surface to make it flow down. A channel part that forms a flow path of rainwater that has flowed down from the roof surface, and a groove type member having a large number of openings,
It has a dead leaf receiver which is detachably supported above the water channel portion so as to be separated from the bottom surface of the water channel portion.

The invention according to claim 2 is the eaves trough according to claim 1, wherein the dead leaf receiver is detachable upward from between a vertical plate provided at a position facing the eaves tip of the roof. It is supposed to be supported.

The above-mentioned water channel portion can form a flow channel for receiving rainwater flowing down from the eaves, and one of them can be appropriately selected from a member having a rectangular cross section, a semicircular cross section, a U-shaped cross section, or the like. You can

The above-mentioned dead leaf receiver can be appropriately set in shape as long as it is a groove-shaped member capable of receiving dead leaves above the water channel portion, and a large number of openings provided in this dead leaf receiver have dead leaves. The shape, number, and arrangement can be set appropriately so as not to be blocked by the accumulation of.

Further, it is desirable that the dead leaf receiver is fixed by a screw or a clip or the like, and is supported so that it can be easily attached and detached any number of times with a tool which is usually provided in the home.

[0013]

According to the first aspect of the invention, the eaves gutter installed at the eaves of the roof is separated from the water channel forming the rainwater flow channel and the bottom of the water channel above the water channel. Since it has a dead leaf receiver made up of a groove-shaped member having a large number of openings, dead leaves and debris are accumulated in the dead leaf receiver, and rainwater flows down to the water channel through the openings of the dead leaf receiver. To be done.

Therefore, the eaves gutter is not clogged by the accumulation of dead leaves, the overflow of rainwater is prevented, and the drainage is smoothly performed.

Further, since the dead leaf receiver is detachably supported, it is possible to remove the dead leaf and the like easily by removing the dead leaf receiver.

On the other hand, according to the second aspect of the present invention, the plate-like member is erected at a position facing the eaves edge, the gap between the eaves edge and the plate-like member is narrow, and the eave trough provided below the eaves edge. Even when the hand cannot be put in and cleaned, the dead leaf receiver is detachably supported from between them, so that the dead leaf receiver can be removed to easily remove dead leaves and the like.

[0017]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view showing an eaves gutter which is an embodiment of the present invention.

The eaves gutter 1 is provided with a folded plate 5 which is projected at a descending slope, a parapet 6 which is continuously provided at a position facing the tip of the folded plate 5, that is, the eaves tip 5a, the parapet 6 and a wall 9. Is provided in an eave composed of an eaves ceiling 7 supported substantially horizontally between and, and a waterway part 2 forming a rainwater flow path along the eaves front line, and a waterway above the waterway part 2. It has a bottom surface of the portion 2 and a dead leaf receiver 3 supported separately from the bottom surface.

The folding plate 5 has a cross section in which convex and concave portions having a substantially trapezoidal shape are alternately continuous in the direction of the eaves line, and is not suitable for the roof slope method (direction of arrow A in FIG. 1). It is a member having such a cross section, and the concave portion serves as a rainwater flow path in the gradient direction. The parapet 6 is provided at a position facing the front end of the folding plate 5 so as to hide the end surface of the folding plate 5 from the outside.

The water channel portion 2 is a groove-shaped member having a substantially rectangular cross section, is provided with a gentle gradient along the eaves line, and is supported at a position where rainwater flowing down from the eaves can be received. . A cylindrical vertical gutter 8 is connected to the water channel portion 2 on the downstream side of the slope so that rainwater is discharged downward along a wall body 9. On the back surface of the parapet 6 facing the tip of the plate, a plate-shaped gutter cover 4 supported in the vertical direction is provided so that its lower end is located in the water channel portion 2. The rainwater that has flowed down is collected in the water channel portion without jumping over the water channel portion 2.

The dead leaf receiver 3 is formed by bending a plate member having a large number of openings into a groove shape as shown in FIG. 2, and is located below the eaves tip 5a and the gutter cover 4. As a result, the upper side is open to almost all of these intervals. Further, one side portion of the dead leaf receiver 3 is extended upward to form a support portion 3a for joining to the upper portion of the parapet, and a bolt 11 is screwed into a caulking nut 10 fixed to the parapet 6. It is attached so that it can be easily attached and detached. Further, the bottom width of the dead leaf receiver 3 and the rising height of the other side portion are dimensioned so that the dead leaf receiver 3 can be removed upward from between the gutter cover 4 and the eaves tip 5a. ing.

The openings provided on the side surface and the bottom surface of the dead leaf receiver 3 have such a size and shape that dead leaves and dust do not pass therethrough, and even when dead leaves are accumulated in the dead leaf receiver 3, rainwater passes through. Are arranged in an arrangement that does not interfere.

In the eaves trough having the above-described structure, the rainwater that has fallen on the origami plate 5 flows down from the eaves tip 5a to the dead leaf receiver 3, and flows down through the opening to the water channel 2. Further, this rainwater flows downstream in the water channel portion 2 and is discharged to the ground by the downspout 8.

On the other hand, even if dead leaves that have fallen down from tall trees or dust blown off by the wind fly over the origami plate 5 and fall into the eaves gutter, they accumulate in the dead leaf receiver 3 and open. It does not pass through the holes, and the entry into the water channel 2 is prevented. For this reason, a channel for rainwater is always secured in the water channel 2, and the inflow port to the downspout 8 is not blocked by dead leaves or the like. Therefore, rainwater does not overflow from the eaves gutter, and smooth drainage is performed.

Also, when the gap between the eaves tip 5a of the folded plate and the gutter cover 4 is so small that a hand or a tool for removing dead leaves cannot be put in the eaves gutter, the bolts 11 such as a screwdriver are used. By removing with a simple tool and removing the dead leaf receiver, accumulated dead leaves and the like can be easily removed.

Note that the dead leaf receiver may be formed by using a mesh-shaped member as shown in FIG. 3 in the form of a groove instead of the plate member having a large number of apertures used in the above embodiment. Often, even such eaves gutters can prevent the invasion of dead leaves and the like into the waterways, and the same effect can be obtained.

Further, as the means for attaching the dead leaf receiver, a synthetic resin clip or the like as shown in FIG. 4 may be used, and one which can be repeatedly attached and detached can be appropriately selected.

[0029]

As described above, in the eaves gutter of the present invention,
Since it has a waterway part and a groove-shaped dead leaf receiver with a large number of openings above this waterway part, dead leaves etc. do not accumulate in the dead leaf receiver and invade into the waterway part, and rainwater is smoothed. Can be drained to.

Further, since the dead leaf receiver is detachably supported, it is possible to easily remove the dead leaves accumulated by removing the dead leaf receiver.
