SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and of course prevents leaves, snow, sand, etc. from entering the eaves gutter, and leaves The purpose is to provide an eaves gutter cover that can prevent snow, sand, etc. from accumulating.

[0006]

The eaves gutter cover according to the present invention has a cross-section in the front-rear direction which is substantially arcuate, is inclined downward toward the front end, and is provided with a long slit 5 along the front end. The eaves gutter cover 7 is characterized in that the water permeation holes 6 are arranged substantially all over the upper part.

Generally, the longer the slit 5 is, the better the drainage performance is, and therefore the slit 5 may be approximately the same length as the eaves gutter cover. Further, in this case, the downward flow of rainwater due to the lateral flow is efficiently prevented.

Since the eaves gutter cover has a substantially arcuate cross section in the front-rear direction and is inclined downward toward the front end, the eaves gutter 1
It is difficult for dead leaves, snow, etc. to enter the inside, and there is almost no accumulation on it. A long slit 5 is provided along the front end, and a water-permeable hole 6 is provided above the slit 5.
Since the rainwater is arranged on almost the entire surface, rainwater that falls on or falls over this will surely enter the eaves gutter 1 and will not overflow from the eaves gutter 1. In particular, since the long slit 5 is provided along the front end, rainwater that falls on or falls off the slit 5 is sufficiently prevented from flowing out of the eaves gutter 1.

The water-permeable holes 6 can be small holes arranged in a staggered pattern or can be slits parallel to the slits 5. With such a structure, it is possible to sufficiently prevent drained leaves, snow and the like from entering the eaves gutter 1 while sufficiently draining water.

Further, since the cover plate 7 is curved so as to droop forward, leaves, snow, sand, etc. easily slide down under the eaves gutter 1.

Here, in the eaves gutter 1, the upper end of the front wall 3 is the rear wall 4.
And the upper end of the front wall 3 is formed as an inclined portion 2 which inclines rearward and upward, while the eaves gutter cover 7 is inclined downward toward the front end, A long slit 5 is provided along the front end, and a water-permeable hole 6 is formed on the substantially entire surface above the slit 5, and the eaves gutter cover 7 is tilted downward to the inclined portion 2 at the front end. The eaves trough cover mounting structure, which is fixed to the eaves end portion so as to be continuous and covers the upper opening of the eaves trough 1, is an effective use example of the eaves trough cover 7. .

As the eaves tip portion to which the eaves gutter cover 7 is attached, the lower surface, the front end of the eaves plate, the wall surface under the eaves, etc. can be arbitrarily selected.

In the eaves gutter 1 as described above, since the upper end of the front wall 3 is higher than the upper end of the rear wall 4, as it is, leaves, snow, sand and the like tend to be deposited on it. By using the eaves gutter cover 7 of the invention as described above, leaves,
It is possible to reliably drop snow, sand, etc. under the eaves gutter 1. The case where the drainage can be reliably performed by the long slit 5 and the water permeable hole 6 is the same as the above case.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below.

FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show one embodiment of the present invention. In the eaves gutter 1, the upper end of the front wall 3 is higher than the upper end of the rear wall 4, and the upper end of the front wall 3 is an inclined portion 2 that is inclined rearward and upward. Therefore, as a whole, the eaves gutter 1 has a shape in which an upper opening is formed in the rear portion.

The eaves gutter cover 7 has an arcuate cross-section in the front-rear direction, is inclined downward toward the front end, and has a long slit 5 along the front end. Above the slit 5, the water-permeable hole 6 is formed on substantially the entire surface. They are arranged in a staggered manner, and the rear end is raised to form the fixing portion 8 to the wall surface 13 under the eaves.

The eaves gutter cover 7 has a front end on the inclined portion 2,
The fixing portion 8 which is fixed to the eaves portion so as to be descendingly inclined and continuous to cover the upper opening of the eaves gutter 1 is a wall surface 13 under the eaves.
It is attached to.

The eaves gutter cover 7 is formed of a thick synthetic resin plate which is a material suitable for forming the eaves gutter.

The eaves gutter cover 7 is bent downward while being convexly curved forward so that the leaves, snow, sand, etc. falling on the eaves gutter cover 7 can easily slide down.

The water permeation hole 6 is composed of an appropriate number of small holes so that rainwater or the like that falls down or flows down from the eaves can be swiftly drained to the eaves gutter 1 arranged therebelow. Is. The number of the water permeation holes 6, the staggered arrangement, etc. are determined in consideration of the drainage capacity. However, the diameter of the water permeation holes 6 is made relatively small so that dead leaves and the like do not easily accumulate.

Further, in relation to the eaves gutter 1, the effect of the structure constituted by using the eaves gutter cover 7 will be described.

In the eaves gutter 1 as described above, since the upper end of the front wall 3 is higher than the upper end of the rear wall 4, as it is, leaves, snow, sand and the like tend to be deposited on it. Gutter cover 7
Is used as described above, it is possible to surely drop leaves, snow, sand, etc. under the eaves gutter 1.

FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of the present invention. The eaves gutter cover 7 has a substantially arcuate cross section in the front-rear direction, is inclined downward toward the front end, and has an elongated slit 5 along the front end. Above the slit 5, the eaves trough cover 7 is parallel to the slit 5. The slits are arranged in parallel as water-permeable holes 6.

By using the water-permeable hole 6 as a slit, the drainage amount is secured without providing a large opening locally.

[0025]

As described above, according to the eaves gutter cover according to the present invention, the cross section in the front-rear direction is substantially arcuate and is inclined downward toward the front end. Not only is it difficult for snow to enter, but there is almost no accumulation on it. Since a long slit 5 is provided along the front end, and the water-permeable holes 6 are arranged on substantially the entire surface above the slit 5, rainwater that falls on or falls down on the slit 5 surely enters the eaves gutter 1. The eaves gutter 1 never overflows. In particular, since the long slit 5 is provided along the front end, it is possible to sufficiently prevent rainwater that falls on or falls off the slit 5 from outside the eaves gutter 1.

The water-permeable holes 6 are small holes arranged in a zigzag pattern or are slits parallel to the slits 5.
The above effect can be further enhanced.

Here, in the eaves gutter 1, the upper end of the front wall 3 is the rear wall 4
And the upper end of the front wall 3 is formed as an inclined portion 2 which inclines rearward and upward, while the eaves gutter cover 7 is inclined downward toward the front end, A long slit 5 is provided along the front end, and a water-permeable hole 6 is formed on the substantially entire surface above the slit 5, and the eaves gutter cover 7 is tilted downward to the inclined portion 2 at the front end. An eaves trough cover mounting structure, which is fixed to the eaves gutters in a continuous manner and covers the upper opening of the eaves trough 1, is an effective use example of the eaves trough cover 7.

In the eaves gutter 1 as described above, since the upper end of the front wall 3 is higher than the upper end of the rear wall 4, as it is, leaves, snow, sand and the like tend to be deposited on it. By using the eaves gutter cover 7 of the invention for forming the structure as described above, it is possible to surely drop leaves, snow, sand and the like under the eaves gutter 1. The case where the drainage can be reliably performed by the long slit 5 and the water permeable hole 6 is the same as the above case.
