Approach between the eaves gutter and the eaves gutter. After that, when the eaves gutter joint is strongly inserted between the eaves troughs that are approaching from both sides, the end of the eaves gutter is expanded along the slope of the slope,
A holding plate is inserted between the eaves gutters that are approaching from both sides, and when the tip of the eaves gutter exceeds the tip of the holding plate, the expanded slope disappears, so the end of the eaves gutter is pressed. The eaves gutter approaches from both sides while entering the insertion groove between the plate and the joint body. Finally, the eaves gutter can be connected with the eaves gutter joint by inserting the end part of the eaves gutter into the insertion groove.

As described above, the construction is extremely simple because it is sufficient to push the eaves gutter joint between the eaves gutters that are approaching from both sides. According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the guide plate having a substantially triangular cross section having the inclined surface whose central portion is high and is gradually lowered toward both ends is detachably attached to the surface of the pressing plate, When attached to the surface of the pressing plate, the inclined surface of the guide plate is exactly the same as the inclined surface formed on the surface of the pressing plate. Therefore, it is possible to connect eaves gutters and eaves gutters approaching from both sides in the same manner as in the first aspect of the invention. Moreover, in the invention according to the second aspect, since the guide plate is detachably attached, when the construction is completed, the guide plate can be removed and used in the next construction. Further, by removing the guide plate after connecting the eaves trough, the guide plate disappears inside the eaves joint, so that rainwater smoothly flows through the eaves joint.
