Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a structure for attaching a fallen leaf net to prevent fallen leaves from entering eaves gutters.

[Background technology] If fallen leaves get into the eaves gutters, the insides of the eaves gutters become clogged, which may impair the ability to drain rainwater. For this purpose, a fallen leaf net is stretched and attached to the opening on the upper surface of the eaves gutter to prevent fallen leaves from entering the eaves gutter. Conventionally, when attaching fallen leaf nets to eaves gutters, it was done by attaching the nets to eaves gutters or eaves gutter restraints using wire, which was a time-consuming process. There was a problem.

[Purpose of the invention] The present invention was made in view of the above points, and it is possible to install a leaf net with simple work, and in addition, it provides a method for attaching the leaf net to eaves gutters that ensures the installation of the leaf net. The purpose of this invention is to provide a mounting structure for a fallen leaf net.

[Disclosure of the invention] However, the attachment structure of the fallen leaf net to the eaves gutter according to the present invention has a substantially U-shaped cross section in which the side pieces 2 and 3 are extended downwardly from both sides of the upper piece 1 and the lower surface is open. A receiving tool 4 is formed, and a locking protrusion 5 that projects inward is provided at the lower end of one of the pair of side pieces 2 and 3 of the receiving tool 4, and on the outer surface of the other side piece 3. A hooking piece 6 is curved into a substantially C-shape and protrudes upward, and a holding piece 7 that is elastically displaced in the vertical direction is provided on the upper piece 1 to protrude downward, and ears 9 on both sides of the eaves gutter 8 are provided. , 9 so that the hooking pieces 6 face inward of the eaves gutter 8, the locking protrusions 5 are locked to the lower edges of the ears 9, and the holding pieces 7 are attached to the ears. Each receiver 4 is attached to the ear part 9 by making elastic contact with the upper surface of the eaves gutter 8, and both ends of the leaf net 10 disposed in the upper opening of the eaves gutter 8 are attached to the hooking pieces of each receiver 4. It is characterized by being hooked and locked to the hook 6, which includes fitting the receiver 4 to the ear part 9 of the eaves gutter 8 and hooking and locking the fallen leaf net 10 to the hook 6 of the receiver 4. This makes it possible to attach the fallen leaf net 10 to the eaves gutter 8 without using a wire or the like, and in addition, the locking protrusion can be locked to the lower edge of the ear 9 and the upper surface of the ear 9 can be attached. The receptacle 4 can be securely attached to the ear part 9 without rattling by the elastic contact of the presser piece 7, and the fallen leaf net 10 can be attached reliably. Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to examples.

By extending the side pieces 2 and 3 on both sides of the upper piece 1, the receiver 4 has a substantially U-shaped cross section with an open bottom as shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4. It is formed by bending a metal plate, and one side piece 2
A locking projection 5 that curves inward is formed at the lower end, and a guide piece 12 that extends diagonally downward toward the outside is provided at the lower end of the locking projection 5. Further, the other side piece 3 is cut and bent to form a hooking piece 6 which is curved into a substantially C-shape and projects upward. Furthermore, a pair of presser pieces 7, 7 are formed on the upper piece 1 of the receiver 4 by cutting and raising them so as to protrude downward. This pressing piece 7 is projected in a diagonally downwardly inclined shape so that it can be elastically displaced and deformed in the vertical direction. On the other hand, the fallen leaf net 10 may be made of wire mesh, plastic mesh, or the like.

When attaching the fallen leaf net 10 to the eaves gutter 8, first, the receivers 4 are fitted into the ears 9, 9 on both sides of the eaves gutter 8, respectively. As shown in FIG. 1, each receiver 4 is attached to the ear part 9 so that the hook 6 faces inward of the eaves gutter 8. At this time, when the receiver 4 is pressed into the ear part 9 from above, the side piece 2 is elastically deformed to bend outward due to the guiding action of the guide piece 12, and the ear part 9 is inserted into the receiver 4. As a result,
When the ear part 9 is inserted into the receiver 4 in this manner, the locking protrusion 5 is locked to the outer lower edge of the ear part 9 by the elastic restoring force of the side piece 2. Therefore, the receiver 4 is connected to the ear part 9.
The receiver 4 can be attached simply by pressing it down from above. In addition, when the receiver 4 is inserted into the ear 9 and the locking protrusion 5 is locked to the lower edge of the ear 9, the holding piece 7 of the receiver 4 is placed on the upper surface of the ear 9. The ear part 9 is elastically held between the pressing piece 7 and the locking protrusion 5 so that the receiver 4 can be attached to the ear part 9 without wobbling. In particular, even if the external dimensions of the ear portion 9 are small, the ear portion 9 is elastically held between the holding piece 7 and the locking protrusion 5, so that the receiver 4 can be reliably attached to the ear portion 9. can. After installing the receiver 4 in this way, the fallen leaf net 10 is placed in the upper opening of the eaves gutter 8.
By inserting the meshes at both ends of the net into the hook pieces 6 of each receiver 4 and hooking and locking them, the net 10 for protecting against fallen leaves can be attached to the upper opening of the eaves gutter 8 in a stretched state.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, in the present invention, side pieces are extended downwardly from both sides of the upper piece to form a holder having a substantially U-shaped cross section with an open bottom surface, and the side pieces are extended downwardly from each side of the upper piece to form a receiver having a substantially U-shaped cross section with an open bottom. Insert and attach a receiver to the outer periphery of the ear so that the hook faces inward of the eaves gutter, and attach the hooks of each receiver to both ends of the leaf net installed in the upper opening of the eaves gutter. The leaf net can be attached to the eaves gutter by fitting the holder into the ear of the eaves gutter and hooking and locking the leaf net to the hook of the holder. This makes it possible to easily install the fallen leaf net without using wire or the like. In addition, since the hooking piece is formed by curving it into a substantially C-shape on the outer surface of the side piece of the receiver and protruding upward, both ends of the leaf net installed in the upper opening of the eaves gutter can be When hooking and locking the hooks on the hooks of the respective receivers, after attaching the receiver to the ears of the eaves gutter, place the leaf net over the top and push it downward, so that the net is securely attached to the net. The fallen leaf net can be easily installed by hooking and locking the roughly C-shaped hook, and by pulling the fallen leaf net upward, the roughly C-shaped hook can be used to secure the fallen leaves. The fallen leaf net can be easily removed by pulling it out from the mesh of the net, and the inside of the eaves gutter can be easily cleaned by removing the fallen leaf net. Moreover, a locking protrusion that protrudes inward is provided at the lower end of one of the side pieces of the receiver, and a holding piece that is elastically displaced in the vertical direction is provided on the upper piece and protrudes downward, so that the locking protrusion Since the receiver is attached to the ear by engaging the lower edge of the ear and elastically contacting the retaining piece with the upper surface of the ear, the retainer is attached to the ear between the retaining piece and the locking protrusion. A receiver can be attached to the ear part with the leaf elastically clamped, and the receiver can be attached to the ear part without rattling, and the fallen leaf net can be securely held in the eaves gutter by the receiver. It is.
