DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be Solved by the Invention
In the stopper for eaves trough described in Japanese Patent No. 639, it is possible to prevent the eaves trough from coming off from the trough insertion port of the water collector due to expansion and contraction of the eaves trough. However, since the distance from the bottom of the water collector to the lower part of the gutter inlet differs depending on the water collector type, a dedicated eaves gutter stopper is required for each water collector type. There is a problem that a molding die is required for each stopper, the mass production effect is small, the cost is high, and the inventory management is troublesome.

Leakage of rainwater coming from the outer surface of the eaves gutter can be prevented to some extent by a comb-shaped drainer, but in the case of heavy rain, the rainwater gathers vigorously. If the rainwater that has flowed into the water collector bounces off the other bottom surface of the water collector, it will enter the back side through the notch of the drain and prevent leakage from the gutter inlet of the water collector. It was difficult. Especially when the distance from the bottom of the water collector to the bottom of the gutter was not very large, it was very difficult.

The present invention has been made by paying attention to the problems in the conventional stoppers for eaves gutters, and an object thereof is to solve the problems in the stoppers for eaves troughs of the related art and to provide one type of stopper. It can be applied to various types of water collectors, can increase the mass production effect, reduce the labor of inventory management, and also separate the eaves gutter from the connection part (or gutter insertion port) of the water collector. And to provide a stopper for eaves gutter that can prevent the leakage of rainwater.
