Abstract

PURPOSE: To surely receive the rain water falling from a roof and prevent an eaves edge from being broken by accumulated snow by fitting a tubular body rotatable centering on the axis between an eaves gutter and a roof tip section. CONSTITUTION: An eaves gutter 3 is fitted to a hanger 5 below the tip section 21 of a roof 2, and a tubular body 4 is fitted to the hanger 5 along the eaves gutter 3 between the eaves gutter 3 and the tip section 21. Many vanes 41 are provided on the outer periphery of the tubular body 4, and the tubular body 4 is rotatably supported by bearings 45, 45 fitted at the upper end sections of arms 42. The rain water falling from the roof 2 collides with the vanes 41 and falls into the eaves gutter 3 as if being twined on the outer periphery of the tubular body 4, and the rain water can be surely received by the eaves gutter 3. When snow falls on the roof 2, the accumulated snow protruded into a block shape at the tip section 21 slidingly falls to the outside of the eaves gutter 3 while rotating the tubular body 4. The collision energy at the time of falling is weakened by the rotation of the tubular body 4, and the breakage of the eaves gutter 3 can be prevented.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an eaves tip structure for preventing snow damage.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Eaves gutters are installed so as to reliably receive rainwater from the roof. However, when snow accumulates on the roof, the snow falls, and the snow is also received by the eaves gutter, and there is a problem that the eaves gutter may be bent and the eaves gutter's hanger may be damaged. Conventionally, in order to solve the above problems, a snow damage preventing eaves gutter device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 1-96933 is known. In the prior art described in the above publication, an eaves gutter is provided below the tip of the roof, and a gutter guard member having a circular outer shape is attached along the eaves between the eaves and the tip of the roof to prevent snow damage. Known as a gutter device.

[0003]

However, in the conventional eaves gutter device, the snowfall falling from the roof is guided to the outer peripheral surface of the circular gutter guard member and drops to the outside of the eaves gutter. In the case of heavy rain, rainwater falling from the roof splashes against the outer peripheral surface of the circular gutter guard member, and falls off under the eaves without being able to receive the rainwater on the eaves gutter, and the rainwater on the roof is surely received. It was a problem because it did not fully play the role of eaves gutter.

Further, the conventional eaves gutter apparatus has a problem in that it requires a labor for construction because a gutter guard member is attached separately.

The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. It is possible to reliably receive rainwater falling from the roof, and the snow accumulated on the roof is on the eaves gutter. It is to provide an eaves structure that does not fall.

[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide an eaves tip structure which is easy to construct in addition to the above objects.

[0007]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to achieve the above object. According to the invention of claim 1, an eaves gutter is provided below the tip of the roof. A tubular body is attached to the roof tip along the eaves gutter,
The tubular body is an eaves tip structure characterized by being rotatable about an axis of the tubular body.

The invention according to claim 2 is the eaves edge structure according to claim 1, wherein the eaves gutter is attached to the hoisting tool, and the tubular body is attached to the hoisting tool. .

In the present invention, the shape of the cylindrical body may be a cylindrical shape or a polygonal cylindrical shape, but a cylindrical shape is easier to manufacture and has less water splashing, so that it can be preferably used. In addition, a tubular body such as a water turbine in which blades are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the tubular body,
It is more preferable because water splash is unlikely to occur as in the examples described later.

The outer dimension of the tubular body is appropriately determined according to the size of the eaves gutter to be used, but a dimension smaller than the eaves gutter width is suitable for reliably receiving rainwater in the eaves gutter. Further, the tubular body may be continuous from end to end along the eaves gutter, or may be divided into a plurality of pieces and attached at intervals along the eaves gutter.

[0011]

In the eaves edge structure according to claim 1, a tubular body is mounted along the eaves gutter between the eaves trough and the roof end portion, and the tubular body is rotatable about the axis of the tubular body. Because it is done
When a small amount of rainwater falls from the roof, the rainwater can be received by the eaves gutter without being scattered along the outer peripheral surface of the tubular body. Also, if a large amount of rainwater falls from the roof, the rainwater that falls from the roof tip will rotate the tubular body, which reduces the momentum of the rainwater, so that it does not scatter on the outer peripheral surface of the tubular body. Rainwater falls around the eaves as it winds up. Therefore, regardless of the amount of rainwater as described above, rainwater can be reliably received by the eaves gutter.

On the other hand, when the snowfall on the roof falls, the snowfall freezes and becomes an iced body and slides down, and it projects at the tip of the roof and is broken and broken into blocks. At this time, since the tubular body is attached between the eaves gutter and the roof tip, the block-shaped snow does not fall directly onto the eaves gutter, and slips along the outer peripheral surface of the tubular body. While falling to the outside of the eaves gutter. Further, when the block-shaped snowfall collides with the outer peripheral surface of the tubular body, the energy of the collision is weakened because the tubular body rotates so that the tubular body is less likely to be damaged. ing.

According to the invention of claim 2, in addition to the function of claim 1, since the tubular body is attached to the hanging tool to which the eaves gutter is attached, the time and effort for attaching the tubular body separately can be saved during construction. Construction becomes easy.

Reference numeral 1 denotes an eaves tip structure, and this eaves tip structure 1
Underneath the tip 21 of the roof 2, an eaves gutter 3 made of hard vinyl chloride resin is attached to a polycarbonate hanging 5. A tubular body 4 made of a hard vinyl chloride resin and having a circular cross section is attached to the hanger 5 along the eaves gutter 3 between the eaves gutter 3 and the roof end portion 21. The tubular body 4 is rotatable about the shaft 43 of the tubular body 4.

The outer diameter of the tubular body 4 is about half the width of the eaves gutter 3, and a large number of blades 41 are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the tubular body 4. Also, on both sides of the tubular body,
Face plates 44, 44 are attached, and shafts 43, 43 are provided at the centers of the face plates 44, 44 so as to project outward. The shafts 43, 43 are inserted in bearings 45, 45 attached to the upper ends of the two arms 42, 42. The shafts 43, 43 provided at the center of the tubular body 4 are supported by the bearings 45, 45.
Is rotatable. The lower end of the arm 42 is integrally joined to the hanger 5.

The eaves gutter 3 comprises an outdoor side wall 31, an indoor side wall 32 and a bottom portion. An inverted L-shaped outdoor side ear portion 33 is formed on the upper end portion of the outdoor side wall 31.
Is hooked and hung on the outdoor side holding portion 51 provided at the tip of the. In addition, a square-shaped indoor ear portion 34 is formed on the upper end portion of the indoor side wall 32, and the ear portion 34 is used for the hanging device 5.
It is hooked on the indoor side holding portion 52 provided at the lower rear end. A free drain 6 is attached to a drain port (not shown) at the bottom of the eaves gutter 3, and an elbow 7 is attached to the drain 6.
A vertical gutter 8 is connected via.

Next, a method of constructing the eaves tip structure 1 will be described. First, one of the suspenders 5 is attached to the outer wall of the eaves part with a screw, and the shaft 43 provided on the tubular body 4 is inserted into the bearing portion 45 of the suspender 5. Next, the other shaft 43 of the tubular body 4 is inserted into the bearing portion 45 of another suspension 5 and then fixed to the outer wall of the eaves portion with screws.

By repeating the above-mentioned operation, the suspending tool 5 and the tubular body 4 are sequentially attached to the eaves portion by the length of the eaves gutter, and then the eaves trough 3 is attached to the suspending tool 5. At this time, the outdoor side ear portion 33 formed on the upper end portion of the outdoor side wall 31 of the eaves gutter 3 is hooked on the outdoor side holding portion 51 at the tip of the hanging tool 5, and the indoor side ear portion formed on the upper end portion of the indoor side wall. The portion 34 is pushed into and hooked on the indoor-side holding portion 52 provided at the lower portion of the rear end of the hanging tool 5. Finally, attach the drain 6 to the drain of the eaves gutter 3,
A vertical gutter 8 is attached to the drain 6 via an elbow 7 to complete the construction.

[Operation of Embodiment] Eaves tip structure 1 of the above embodiment
Is a tubular body 4 having a large number of blades 41 provided between the eaves gutter 3 and the roof tip 21 and is rotatably attached along the eaves gutter 3, so rainwater falling from the roof 2 is It hits the blades 41 of the tubular body 4 and falls on the eaves gutter 3 along the outer peripheral surface of the tubular body 4 like a water wheel while rotating the tubular body 4. Therefore, unlike the prior art, the rainwater does not scatter, and the rainwater is dropped on the eaves gutter 3 so as to wind around the outer peripheral surface of the tubular body 4, so that the rainwater can be reliably received by the eaves gutter 3. it can. As described above, the rainwater collected in the eaves gutter 3 is drained from the drain 6 attached to the drain port and the vertical gutter 8 attached to the drain 6 via the elbow 7.

On the other hand, when the snowfall on the roof 2 falls, the snowfall freezes and forms an iced body and slides down, and it projects at the tip of the roof and is broken and broken into blocks. At this time, since the tubular body 4 is attached between the eaves gutter 3 and the roof tip 21,
The block of snow does not fall on the eaves gutter 3, hits the blades 41 provided on the outer peripheral surface of the tubular body 4, and slides while rotating the tubular body 4 while rotating. Fall outside. Therefore, the energy of collision caused by falling snow is weakened by the rotation of the tubular body, so that the problem of damaging the eaves gutter 3 and the hanger 5 can be prevented.

[0022]

According to the eaves structure of claim 1, when a small amount of rainwater is dropped from the roof, rainwater can be received by the eaves gutter without being scattered along the outer peripheral surface of the tubular body. If a large amount of rainwater falls from the roof, the energy of the rainwater that falls from the roof tip will cause the tubular body to rotate, and the rainwater will be wound around the outer peripheral surface of the tubular body without splashing and will be collected in the eaves gutter. Is dropped. Therefore, as described above, regardless of the amount of rainwater, the rainwater can be reliably received by the eaves gutter, so that it can be used with confidence.

On the other hand, when the snowfall on the roof falls, the snowfall freezes and becomes an iced body and slides down. Then, it projects at the tip of the roof, breaks into blocks, and falls. At this time, since the tubular body is rotatably attached between the eaves gutter and the roof tip,
The block-shaped snowfall does not fall on the eaves gutter, and even if the block-shaped snowfall falls on the outer peripheral surface of the tubular body, the energy of collision at the time of the fall is tubular. It is weakened by the body's rotation and does not bend the eaves gutter or damage the tubular body or hanger.

According to the invention of claim 2, in addition to the operation of claim 1, since the tubular body is attached to the suspender to which the eaves gutter is attached, it is possible to save the labor of separately attaching the tubular body during construction, It is easy and convenient to install, and economical.
