However, in the above-described conventional water collector 2 ', since the side surface rising piece 3 only stands up at the upper end edge of the side surface, it easily bends or bends in the left-right direction from its base portion, and any side surface Since the decorative member 7 does not have a sufficient position fixing action because it does not always exhibit sufficient strength against a collision, a strong wind, or snow hanging from the eaves at the time of rainfall, the decorative member 7 may be distorted or deformed. In particular, when the notch 4 in which the eaves gutter 10 is located is formed up to the vicinity of the upper edge, there is a drawback that the insufficient strength is further promoted.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

The present invention solves the above-mentioned drawbacks of the prior art, and enables the decorative member and the eaves gutter to be firmly attached to the water collector.
The task is to construct a water collector.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

As a result of various studies by the present inventor, both ends of the front locking piece, which has almost no effect on the locking action on the front lip portion of the decorative member, are raised from the front plate to form a key-like end of the side rising piece. It has been clarified that the above problems can be solved by fixing the tip connecting portion bent in a (Γ-shape), and further by providing the reinforcing bending piece bent inward at the upper end of the side rising piece. The idea was completed.

[Description of configuration]

Hereinafter, a rainwater collector according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is an enlarged perspective view of one embodiment of a rainwater collector according to the present invention seen obliquely from above and rear, and FIG. 2 shows another embodiment of the rainwater collector according to the present invention with a decorative member. It is an expansion perspective view showing the important section in the state where it was attached.

The feature of the rainwater collector 1 according to the present invention is that, as shown in FIG. 1, the front plate mounting piece 2 provided on the upper part of the front plate forming a rectangular tube shape leaves both end portions. Is provided only in the central portion, and the rising portions remaining on the both side end portions are provided with a key shape (Γ shape) at the tip of the side surface rising piece 3 which is provided at the upper portion of the facing side plate so as to rise upward. ) Is attached to the tip connecting portion 6 which is bent,
As the fixing means, both parts may be concretely welded or brazed.

In the other case of the present invention, in addition to the above-mentioned characteristics, as shown in FIG. 2, a reinforcing bending piece 3a bent inward is provided at the upper end of the side rising pieces 3 on both sides. .

The method of attaching the eaves gutter 10 or the decorative member 7 to the rainwater collector 1 according to the present invention is exactly the same as that of the conventional rainwater collector 1 '.

[Action]

The rainwater collector 1 according to the present invention having the structure described above is
The front plate mounting piece 2 provided on the upper part of the front plate forming the rectangular tube shape is provided only on the central portion except both side end portions, and the rising portions remaining on both side end portions respectively. The side rising pieces 3 are bent to the left and right because the tip connecting portions 6 that are bent in a key shape (Γ shape) at the ends of the side rising pieces 3 that are provided upright on the opposite side plates are fixed. As a result, when the decorative member 7 is attached as shown in FIG. 2, even if a force is applied to the decorative member 7 by collision of some object, strong wind, or snow hanging from the eaves during rainfall, it is sufficient. Since the strength is exerted and the position fixing effect of the decorative member 7 is surely exerted, the cutout portion 4 in which the eaves gutter 10 is positioned as shown in the figure.
Even if is formed up to the vicinity of the upper edge of the side plate, its strength is sufficiently exerted with respect to the locking of the eaves gutter 10 and the reinforcing effect of the eaves gutter 10 for locking is further increased.

Then, as shown in FIG. 2, when a reinforcing bending piece 3a that is bent inward is provided at the upper end of the side surface rising piece 3, the bending rigidity of the side rising piece 3 simply rises vertically. Since it is much larger than that in the above condition, it is the same as the strength of the side rising piece 3 is very strong, so that the above-mentioned action is more excellent and such a reinforcing effect is given. Moreover, the appearance does not deteriorate.

[Effect of device]

As described above in detail, the rainwater collector according to the present invention has a rectangular tube shape and is horizontally bent outward at the upper edge of the front plate to attach the decorative member to the uppermost part thereof. In a rainwater collector in which an upper edge of the side plate facing the front locking piece and a side rising piece rising upward from the front side are respectively provided, the front locking piece is left in the center with both end portions left. The lower end lip of the decorative member of the front locking piece is fixed by fixing the keyed tip connecting part of the tip of the side rising piece to the rising parts of the both side edges that remain only to be provided only on the part. It is possible to make the attachment of the decorative member to the water collector strong by making the resistance force against the bending of the side rising piece to the left and right with almost no effect on the locking action with the piece, and to erect the eaves. The gutter is located Even when the cutout is formed up to the vicinity of the upper edge of the side plate, the strength against the locking of the eaves trough can be exerted, and the reinforcing effect of the eaves trough locking can be further increased. When the reinforcing bending piece that is bent inward is provided at the upper end of, the above-mentioned action can be further enhanced, and the practical value thereof is extremely large.
