Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a gutter water collector for collecting rainwater flowing into a corner gutter and guiding it to a vertical gutter.

[Conventional technology]

FIG. 8 shows a conventional gutter water collector disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 62-4113. This gutter water collector is made of a synthetic resin molded body, and has an arc-shaped gutter support piece 120 on the periphery of almost the entire gutter connection port 110 formed in the water collector body 100.
Is projected outward, and ear edge holding portions 121, 121 for holding the edge of the gutter are formed at the front and rear upper portions of the gutter support piece 120, and the gutter support piece 120 and the edge holding portions 121, 121 are It projects by the same width, and both have the same thickness and are integrally continuous.

In this gutter water collector, the end of the gutter (round gutter) inserted in the gutter connection port 110 is supported by the gutter support piece 120, and the edge of the gutter is held by the edge holding parts 121, 121. At this time, the gutter is inclined and fitted into the gutter connection port 110 from above. Specifically, for example, after fitting the rear edge of the gutter into the corresponding rear edge holding portion 121, the front edge holding portion 121 of the front side is inserted.
It is common practice to insert the corresponding front edge of the ear edge into the edge holding portion 121 while expanding the edge. As a means for expanding the front edge holding part 121, the ear edge holding part 121 is manually held and displaced forward, or the front edge of the gutter pushes the ear edge holding part 121 from above to displace the front edge holding part 121 forward. There is a method in which the ear edge holding portion 121 is crossed over the front edge while performing the above operation.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

However, since the edge holding portion 121 is formed so as to be integrally continuous with the gutter support piece 120, the edge holding portion 12
If the edge holding part 121 and the gutter support piece 120 are thin enough to easily expand 1 with a small force, the edge holding part 121 and the gutter support piece 120 when the end part of the gutter is connected to the gutter connection port 110. Will weaken the supporting strength. On the other hand, the edge holding part 121 and the gutter support piece 1
If you make 20 thick and increase the supporting strength by them,
It is difficult to deform the edge holding part 121 when connecting the gutter.

On the other hand, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-7535 proposes a gutter water collector in which a gutter support piece is omitted and only an edge holding portion is formed.
According to this, even if the ear edge holding part is thickened, the ear edge holding part is relatively easy to expand, but since there is no gutter support piece, when the gutter is connected, it is supported to the bottom part and the side part of the gutter. Not only can the strength be too great, but the draining action of the gutter support piece cannot be expected.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and is capable of supporting the bottom and side portions of a gutter with a sufficiently large strength, and further improves the support strength of the edge of the gutter by making the edge holding part thick. Another object of the present invention is to provide a gutter water collector that can easily expand the edge holding portion with a small force when connecting the gutter.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The gutter water collector according to claim 1 of the present invention is characterized in that a flat gutter bottom support piece is protruded outward at a lower edge of a rectangular gutter connection port formed in the water collector body. At the upper part of the rising edge before and after the gutter connection port, the edge holding part for holding the edge of the gutter is projected outward, and further, the front and rear edges of the gutter bottom support piece and the front and rear edge holding parts. In between, and on the side wall of the water collector body,
Further, there is provided a gutter side wall supporting piece whose outer edge is an inclined edge having a downward slope from the edge holding portion toward the tip of each of the front and rear edges of the gutter supporting piece.

The gutter collector according to claim 2 of the present invention has a flat gutter bottom support piece projecting outwardly at a lower edge of a rectangular gutter connection port formed in the body of the collector. At the upper part of the rising edge before and after the gutter connection port, the edge holding part for holding the edge of the gutter is projected outward, and further, the front and rear edges of the gutter bottom support piece and the front and rear edge holding parts. There is a U-shaped space between and.

[Action]

In the gutter water collector of the structure according to claim 1, the gutter side wall support piece serves as a reinforcing material for reinforcing the gutter bottom support piece to prevent it from sagging or deforming, and cooperates with the gutter bottom support piece. Supports the bottom and side walls of the. In addition, since the edge holding portion projects outward from the gutter side wall supporting piece, it can be easily expanded even if it is formed thick.

In the gutter water collector of the second aspect, the gutter bottom support piece supports the bottom wall of the gutter and cooperates with the edge holding part to stably support the gutter. Further, the U-shaped space allows the edge holding portion to be in a protruding state and can be easily expanded.

Further, in such a gutter water collector, the gutter bottom support piece absorbs the thermal expansion and contraction of the gutter to always support the gutter at all times, and at the same time, drains rainwater that has passed down the back surface of the bottom wall of the gutter. It is also useful as a member to perform.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a gutter water collector 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a vertical side view of the gutter water collector 1, and FIG. 3 is a III-III of FIG. It is sectional drawing which follows the line.

The gutter water collector 1 has a water outlet 3 at the bottom of the water collector body 2.
It has square trough connection ports 4, 4 on both left and right sides.
Then, a flat plate-shaped trough bottom support piece 5 is extended outward at the lower edge 41 of each gutter connection opening 4, and the edge holding portions 6, 6 are provided on the upper portions of the rising edges 42, 42 in front of and behind it. Is projected outward. The cross-sectional shape of this edge holding section 6 is U-shaped, and the left and right edge holding sections 6, 6 are separated by the edge holding frames 7, 7 formed at the upper end of the water collector body 2. It is continuous. 6
Reference numeral 1 is an engaging piece formed in a hanging shape of the edge holding portion 6.

Reference numeral 8 is a gutter side wall supporting piece. The gutter side wall support piece 8 is composed of a triangular plate piece-like portion provided between the front and rear end edges of the gutter bottom support piece 5 and the root portions of the front and rear ear edge holding portions 6, and its outer end. The edge 81 is formed as an inclined edge having a downward slope from the root portion of the edge holding portion 6 toward the tip of each of the front and rear edges of the trough support piece 5, and is continuous with the side wall 11 of the water collector body 1. There is. The outer edge of the gutter side wall supporting piece 8 does not necessarily have to be a linear inclined edge as shown in the figure, and may be a curved inclined edge.

Reference numeral 9 is a water blocking piece, which is erected at the bottom of the water collector body 2.

Such a trough water collector 1 can be easily manufactured by an integrally molded body of synthetic resin such as polyvinyl chloride resin.

FIG. 4 is a partial vertical sectional front view showing a state in which a corner gutter 50 is connected to the trough water collector 1, and FIG. 5 is a vertical sectional side view in the same state.

The corner gutter 50 has a bottom wall 51, front and rear side walls 52, 53, and edge rims 54, 55 formed at the upper ends of the side walls 52, 53. The bottom wall 51 of the square gutter 50 fitted in the gutter connection port 4 is slidably supported in the left-right direction (arrow A) by the gutter bottom support piece 5 and the water stop piece 9, and the side walls 52, 53 are left and right. The above-mentioned gutter side wall support pieces 8, 8 are slidably supported in the left-right direction,
4, 55 are held by the front and rear edge holding portions 6, 6 so as to be slidable in the left-right direction.

In such a connection structure, the gutter bottom support piece 5 and the gutter side wall support piece 8 are useful for securely and firmly supporting the corner gutter 50 in a stable state. That is, considering the case where there is no trough bottom support piece 5 or trough side wall support piece 8, the square gutter 50 is connected to the gutter connection port 4.
There is a concern that it will be supported in a line contact state only at the rim of the and the support state will become unstable, but if there is a trough bottom support piece 5 or a gutter side wall support piece 8, the corner gutter 50 will be in surface contact state by them. Since it is supported by, it becomes stable and strong in the supported state. In addition, the gutter side wall supporting piece 8 functions as a reinforcing member that reinforces the gutter bottom supporting piece 5 by integrating the side wall 11 of the water collector body 2 and the gutter bottom supporting piece 5 with each other. The support function of the support piece 6 makes the support state more stable and stronger. Further, even when the corner gutter 50 contracts due to a change in temperature, for example, and the tip end portion 56 thereof is displaced to the outside of the gutter connection port 4, the tip end portion 56 still has the gutter bottom support piece 5 and the gutter side wall support pieces 4, 4. Since it is still stably supported by, the situation that the corner gutter 50 is separated from the gutter water collector 1 does not occur.

Further, the rainwater flowing along the back surface of the bottom wall 51 of the corner trough 50 is normally drained by the water stop piece 9 and guided to the water collector body 2, but in some cases, it may go beyond the water stop piece 9 to the outside thereof. It may flow out. In this case, the recess 91 formed between the gutter connection port 4 and the water blocking piece 9 performs a draining action, and the water accumulated in the recess 91 is formed on the side portion of the water blocking piece 9. In addition to being guided to the water collector main body 2 through the groove 92 formed therein, when rainwater also passes through the recess 91, it is drained by the trough support piece 5.

A procedure for connecting the corner gutter 50 to the gutter water collector 1 will be described.

For example, the corner gutter 50 is tilted so that the front side is positioned higher, and is positioned above the gutter connection port 4, and then the rear edge 55 of the corner gutter 50 is fitted into the corresponding rear edge holding portion 6. Then, the front edge holding portion 6 is displaced forward to move the edge holding portion 6
The front edge of the corner gutter 50 and the edge holding portion 6 while expanding the
Fit in. As a means for expanding the front edge holding section 6, the ear edge holding section 6 is held by hand and displaced forward, or the front edge 54 of the corner gutter 50 pushes the edge holding section 6 from above. There is a method to move it forward. When the ear edge holding part 6 is expanded in this way, since the root part of the ear edge holding part 6 is only continuous with the gutter side wall supporting piece 8, even if the ear edge holding part 6 is expanded, the gutter side wall supporting part 6 is supported. The piece 8 does not deform with it, and only the edge holding part 6 spreads easily. Therefore, even if the edge holding portion 6 is made thick to firmly support the edges 54, 55 of the corner gutter 50, the connection work of the corner gutter 50 is not hindered thereby. If the corner gutter 50 becomes large, it is necessary to make the gutter water collector 1 thicker, and the edge holding part 6 becomes thicker accordingly and it becomes difficult to spread. In this case, the edge holding part is particularly effective. work.

As shown in FIG. 1, if a horizontal line 12 is formed on the outer surface of the side wall 11 of the water collector body 2 with a large number of fine irregularities and the outer surface is matted, the tendency of frequent use is remarkable. It is preferable because it can be harmonized in appearance with a matte sluice gutter. The method of matting the outer surface of the side wall 11 is not limited to the case of forming the horizontal line 12,
There are methods such as giving a texture to the screen and sanding.

FIG. 6 is a sectional view similar to FIG. 3 of another embodiment of claim 1 of the present invention. In this embodiment, the gutter side wall support piece 85
Is a trapezoidal plate-shaped portion provided between the front and rear edges of the trough bottom support piece 5 and the substantially central portion of each edge holding portion 6,
The outer edge 86 thereof is an inclined edge having a steep downward slope from the middle portion of the edge holding portion 6 toward the front and rear edges of the trough support piece 5. Since other configurations are similar to those of the above-described embodiment, the same reference numerals are given and description thereof is omitted.

In such a gutter water collector, since the outer edge 86 of the gutter side wall support piece 85 is inclined from the middle portion of the edge holding portion 6, it is difficult to displace the edge holding portion 6. However, the engaging piece 61 expands similarly, and the protrusion amount of the edge holding portion 6 becomes small, so that the damage can be prevented, and the supporting state of the corner gutter by the gutter side wall supporting piece 85 becomes more stable and strong. .

FIG. 7 is a schematic perspective view of a gutter water collector 10 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The gutter water collector 10 has rectangular gutter connection ports 4, 4 on both left and right sides thereof, and a flat plate-shaped gutter bottom support piece 5, 5 is protruded outward at the lower edge 41 of the gutter water collector, and Ear edge holding portions 6, 6 are projected outward on the upper portions of the rising edges 42, 42,
U-shaped cavities 45, 45 are formed by the front and rear side edges of the trough support piece 5, the rising edge 42, and the edge holding portion 6. Since other configurations are the same as those of the gutter water collector of FIG. 1, the same reference numerals are given to the same portions and the description thereof will be omitted.

Square gutters can be similarly connected using the gutter water collector 10 of the present embodiment. In that case, since there is a U-shaped space 45, the edge holding portions 6, 6 are in a protruding state, and they are extremely easily deformed so that the edge of the corner gutter can be easily inserted. In addition, if the gutter bottom support piece 5 is inclined so that it becomes higher toward the outer side, when the corner gutter is attached, it is firmly attached to the corner gutter bottom wall by elasticity, and at the same time, the appearance is improved.

[Effect of device]

As described above, according to the gutter water collector of claim 1 of the present invention, the bottom wall and side wall of the gutter are supported by the cooperation of the gutter bottom support piece and the gutter side wall support piece with sufficiently large strength, and the gutter It also functions to absorb heat expansion and contraction and to drain water. Nevertheless, not only when the edge holding part is thin, but also when it is thick, it is possible to easily deform and expand the edge holding part, thus facilitating the connection work of the gutter. And it can be done quickly.

According to the gutter water collector of the second aspect, the U-shaped cavity facilitates the deformation of the edge holding portion, and the gutter can be fitted easily. Moreover,
The gutter is firmly attached by the gutter bottom support piece and the edge holding part, and is never separated.
