Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Field of industrial application] This invention is a rain gutter net installed at the eaves of a building to preserve the water flow function of the eaves gutter, in order to collect and drain rainwater that falls on the roof surface. Regarding the lid.

[Conventional technology]

If there are trees in close proximity to eaves gutters installed at the eaves of a building, dead leaves, branches, nuts, etc. from the trees will be blown away by the wind and enter the gutters, clogging the gutters and disrupting the water flow function of the eaves gutters. inhibit.

If the drainage function of eaves gutters is impaired, rainwater will not flow through the original drainage channels, but will overflow from clogged areas and flow down. There is a risk of loss.

Furthermore, if the eaves gutter is made of metal, the gutter body itself may be damaged due to corrosion of dead leaves and the like that have accumulated inside the gutter.

In order to avoid the above-mentioned disadvantages, net covers that are placed horizontally on the open parts of eaves gutters have been commercially available.

However, with such a horizontal net cover, fallen leaves and other flying objects accumulate on the net.
If a large amount of fallen leaves accumulate on the net, it will block the net, making it impossible for the eaves gutters to reliably catch the rainwater that flows down from the roof surface, and at the same time making it difficult to remove the accumulated flying objects. It had to be done frequently.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems with the horizontal mesh cover, a rain gutter device has been proposed in which the mesh cover that covers the eaves gutter is formed to have a V-shaped cross section. (Jitsukai 53-18631
(Refer to the Publication No. 2004-11-11) Therefore, as shown in Figure 3, the above-mentioned invention consists of a pillow member 13 fitted to both side edges 12, 12 of the eaves gutter 11, and a reinforcing plate 14 and a connecting member 15 integrated with the pillow member 13. A connecting fitting 16 is fitted over the upper opening of the eaves gutter 11, and is configured to lock the mesh body 18 via a protrusion 17 of the fitting 16.

[The problem that the idea aims to solve]

The mesh body 18 in the device disclosed in the above-mentioned Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 53-18631 is constructed by first fixing the connecting fitting 16 to the eaves gutter 11 side, and then locking it onto the connecting fitting 16 via the protrusion 17. Therefore, although the mesh body 18 can be removed, the connecting fittings 16 remain on the eaves gutter 11, and when cleaning and removing the deposits accumulated at the bottom of the eaves gutter 11, the connecting fittings 1
6 must be removed, which is time-consuming, and the cost is high because there are many constituent members.

In addition, since the ridge c of the symmetrical slope ab of the net body 18 protrudes slightly forward from directly below the eaves, dead leaves, branches, nuts, etc. can get into the space between the lower part of the eaves and the ridge c. However, since the slope ab of the net recording body 18 has a gentle slope, flying objects such as dead leaves that have fallen onto the net body 18 are still likely to accumulate.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems with the conventional eaves gutter net cover, and although the structure and attachment/detachment operation are simple, fallen leaves and other flying objects accumulate on the eaves gutter at a considerable rate. The present invention intends to provide a net cover for eaves gutters that is free of glazing.

[Means to solve the problem]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides an inclined surface having an F-shaped cross section that can be detachably engaged with a locking groove provided along the inner side of both edges of the open part of the eaves gutter. The constituent body is a network consisting of
The angle of the wide side of the F-shaped inclined surface is approximately 35 degrees, and the ridge edge of the F-shaped inclined surface is located at the rear of the eaves, and the wide side is located in front of the eaves. It is characterized by protruding so as to be continuous with the surface.

Note that a frame edge may be attached to the expanded peripheral edge of the net.

Further, it is effective to mold the net body from a lightweight material such as a light metal or a synthetic resin.

[Effect]

The mesh cover according to the present invention is installed by elastically engaging the expanding side edges of the main mesh cover with the locking grooves provided along the inner sides of the upper open side edges of the eaves gutter.

The net cover attached to the eaves gutter has a cross-sectional shape, so the wide sloping surface protrudes in front of the eaves, and the angle of inclination is approximately 35° or a steep slope corresponding to the slope of the eaves. Therefore, when dead leaves, branches, nuts, etc. that fall due to the wind and rain hit the wide slope, most of them fall under the eaves without accumulating on the slope.

Therefore, the wide sloped surface of the net is always maintained in a position where rainwater can easily flow in.
The water running function of the eaves gutter is maintained smoothly, and at the same time, the net itself is maintained in a clean state.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes an eaves gutter made of synthetic resin, which is the object of the present invention, and is supported via a support fitting 10 whose base end is fixed to a rafter of a roof 6.

Locking grooves 3, 3 are provided inside the edges 2, 2 on both sides of the open portion of the eave gutter 1 along the edges.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a net (mesh cover) which is the main component of the present invention, and is made of a lightweight material such as a light metal or synthetic resin and is formed into a bent structure having an slanted surface AB and an F-shaped cross section.

Is the width of the sloped surface A of the net body 4 greater than the width of the sloped surface B?
As shown in the second diagram, the mesh body 4 is
When equipped on eaves gutter 1, the ridge C is the eaves 6a
The inclined surface B is located at the rear of the eaves 6a and is configured such that it protrudes in front of the eaves 6a.
The slope is adjusted to be approximately equal to or slightly steeper than the slope of the slope, that is, approximately 35°.

The above-mentioned net 4 utilizes the compressive elasticity between the edges 2, 2 of the open part of the eaves 1 and the expansion elasticity of the net 4 to form a frame edge 5 attached to the expanded peripheral edge of the net 4. , 5 are resiliently engaged with the locking grooves 3, 3 provided inside the end edges 2, 2 of the eaves gutter 1, and are covered over the open part of the eaves gutter 1.

As shown in the second diagram, by covering the eaves gutter 1 with the net 4, flying objects such as dead leaves and branches that have fallen on the roof 6 will flow down with rainwater or be blown by the wind in the direction of the eaves gutter 1. It descends, passes over the net 4 connected to the eaves gutter 1, and falls under the eaves.

When it rains, only rainwater flows into the eaves gutter 1 through the mesh of the mesh cover 4 and is discharged via the gutter (not shown).

At this time, since the slope B of the net body 4 is formed at an angle of approximately 35 degrees, the fallen leaves are ensured to fall.
Accumulation of fallen leaves on the net 4 can be prevented as much as possible, and the water running function of the eaves gutter 1 can be maintained smoothly.

In addition, since the slope B of the net 4 and the slope of the eaves 6a are continuous, the slope A of the net 4
is located behind the eaves gutter 1, so fallen leaves etc. do not enter between the lower part of the eaves and the slope A. When dust accumulates inside the eaves gutter 1 due to long-term use, the mesh body 4 and the inside of the eaves gutter 1 can be easily cleaned by releasing the elastic fitting of the mesh body 4 to the eaves gutter 1 and removing it. You can.

Note that the size and shape of the net 4 in the present invention are not particularly limited.

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, the invented product of the present invention is extremely easy to construct, install, and remove compared to conventional products, but it is effective in preventing flying objects such as fallen leaves from entering the eaves gutters. Since it is highly effective in blocking the water, it can be used not only for general residences, but also as covers for eaves and gutters of buildings such as shrines and temples, and is of great benefit.
