Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a rain gutter device that is not damaged by snow falling from a roof.

[0002]

[Problems to be solved by conventional techniques and devices]

 Rain gutters are not normally provided on long roof tile roof tile roofs that are often found in buildings such as factories and warehouses in heavy snow areas. Because, in such a roof, the snow accumulated on the roof surface always slides down and winds around the eaves a as shown in FIG. 8, so that the weight of the snow is heavy on the eaves b and the gutter catches. This is because the metal fitting c is bent and the gutter is broken, which requires repair every spring.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As described above, in the conventional long roof tile tiled roof, since the gutter is not provided, rainfall on the roof surface intensively falls under the eaves and splashes of water splash, which damages the wall surface. In addition, there was a problem that the appearance of the surroundings of the building was impaired, such as holes being made in the ground due to the action of falling water. Also, if there is an entrance / exit on the eaves side, there was a problem that a large amount of rainwater falling from the eaves was hit when entering / exiting the entrance / exit during rainfall.

An object of the present invention is to provide a rain gutter device capable of solving the above problems by allowing the eaves gutter to be stored under the eaves during snowfall.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention employs the following means. That is, in the rain gutter device 1 according to the present invention, the support arm 7 for holding the eaves gutter 6 at the tip portion is provided with the laterally protruding state A and the eaves gutter 6 which are laterally projected so that the eaves gutter 6 follows the eaves tip 2. It is characterized in that it is attached to the eaves back 3 so as to be rotatable within an angle range with the downward protruding state B which projects downward so as to be stored under the eaves.

The support arm 7 does not have a gutter receiving member 29 capable of tilting in a vertical plane at its tip, and the tilt of the gutter receiving member 29 can be adjusted, and the support arm can be in a laterally protruding state. It is preferable that the protruding length can be adjusted.

In the rain gutter device 1 according to the present invention, a plurality of support arms 7 for holding the eaves gutter 6 at their tips are arranged in parallel with a rotating shaft 5 arranged on the eaves back 3 in parallel with the eaves tip 2. The support arm 7 is fixed at the base end, and the supporting arm 7 is laterally projected so that the eaves gutter 6 follows the eaves edge 2 and the eaves gutter 6 is stored under the eaves by rotating the rotary shaft. It is preferable to be able to rotate within an angle range with the downward protruding state B protruding downward.

An example of the procedure for rotating the rotary shaft 5 is to fix the worm gear 10 to the rotary shaft 5, and to install the worm 13 fixed to the upper end side of the operation shaft 12 extending vertically in the worm gear 10. It is preferable that the rotary shaft 5 is rotated in the forward and reverse directions via the worm 13 and the worm gear 10 by meshing with each other and operating the forward and reverse rotations of the operation shaft 5.

[0009]

[Action]

 However, by making each support arm project laterally, rainwater flowing down the roof surface can be received by the eaves gutter 6. At the time of snowfall, the eaves gutter 6 is housed under the eaves by pivoting each support arm downward so as to project downward.

[0010]

The holding piece 22 comprises connecting pieces 25, 25 projecting from both sides of a half-cylindrical part 23 into which the lower half of the rotary shaft 5 is fitted, and a holding piece 26 having a shape symmetrical with the upper and lower sides. The rotary shaft 5 is held by cooperation.

On the other hand, the second arm member 17 is fitted into the fitting groove 19 of the first arm member 16 and is slidable in the longitudinal direction. Is provided. The sliding portion 27 is screwed with a bolt hole 30 near the base end side thereof and a bolt 31 inserted through the elongated hole 21 to be integrated with the first arm member 16. The tip of the sliding portion 27 is bent upward at a right angle, and the bent piece 32 is provided with a bolt hole 33.

The gutter receiving portion 29 has a connecting piece 36 projecting from the lower surface central portion of a bending piece 35 that supports the eaves gutter 6 from below, and the connecting piece 36 bends along the bending piece 35. A curved elongated hole 37 is provided. The gutter receiving portion 29 is screwed using a bolt 39 that is inserted through the bolt hole 33 1 of the bent piece 32 and the curved elongated hole 37, and is fixed to the second arm member 17.

Since the support arm 7 has such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 2, the length thereof can be adjusted within the range of the length of the long hole 21, and the trough within the range of the length of the curved long hole 37. The inclination and the position of the receiving portion 29 can be adjusted.

However, when fixing the base end of each support arm to the rotary shaft 5, the water gradient (FIG. 6) of the eaves gutter 6 supported by the gutter receiving part 29 is taken into consideration. The protruding direction, the length thereof, and the inclination of the gutter receiving portion 29 are set as required, and the connecting pieces of the holding piece 22 and the cover holding piece 26 that sandwich the rotating shaft 5 are screwed together. In FIGS. 3 and 6, reference numeral 40 is a flexible pipe which is continuously bent at the bottom of the eaves gutter, and the lower end side of which is inserted into the upper opening 42 of the solid gutter 41.
