1 is a cross-sectional view of an eaves gutter apparatus which is an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an eaves gutter cover used in the eaves gutter apparatus according to the same embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, this eaves gutter device is provided with a front side wall 1
A bottom plate 2 and a side wall 3 on the building side, the front side wall 1 is bent toward the building side to form an inclined plate 5, and a bent front ear portion 6 is formed at the back end of the inclined plate 5. Outer wall 1
In the eaves gutter in which the rear ear part 7 is formed on the upper part of the side wall 3 on the side of the building arranged along the line 3, and the opening 8 is formed by opening between the front ear part 6 and the rear ear part 7 upward, A cover plate 9 having a curved surface with a substantially arcuate cross section that is inclined downward and frontward and upward is provided, and a plurality of holes 14 are formed in the plate thickness direction of the cover plate 9, and the inside of the cover plate 9 is formed. Heater 15
And cover the opening 8 with the cover plate 9 and make its tip 10 adjacent to the rear end 12 of the inclined plate 5,
The rear end 11 of the cover plate 9 is fixed to the outer wall 13 of the building.

Although not shown in the figure, the eaves gutter is fixed to eaves gutter suspension fittings attached to the outer wall 13 of the building.

As described above, since the cover plate 9 covers the opening 8, the structure has a structure in which dead leaves, snow 16 and the like do not easily accumulate in the eaves gutter.

The method of using this eaves gutter device will be described below. When the snow 16 falls and accumulates on the cover plate 9, the cover plate 9 forms a curved surface having a substantially arcuate cross section that inclines forward and downward and bulges upward. The cover plate 9 covers the part 8 and its tip 10 is disposed adjacent to the rear end 12 of the inclined plate 5, and the cover plate 9 gradually increases in inclination from the rear part toward the tip 10. Even if the snowfall on the snow is in a solid state, the moving speed is gradually increased from the rear portion of the cover plate 9 toward the front end portion 10, and the front end portion 10 of the cover plate 9 and the rear end 12 of the inclined plate 5 are separated from each other. The water smoothly flows down into the eaves trough through the gap, or slides down the inclined plate 5 from above onto the bottom of the building.

A plurality of holes 1 are formed in the cover plate 9 in the plate thickness direction.
Since the snowflakes 4 are formed in a staggered shape, the snow accumulated on the cover plate 9 moves from the rear part of the cover plate 9 toward the tip part 10 and flows down through the hole 14 into the eaves gutter. Also, the hole 14
If there is snow near the area, the water will be directly drained from the hole 14 into the eaves gutter. As described above, by providing the hole 14 formed in the cover plate 9, the snow accumulated on the cover plate 9 is also drained down into the eaves gutter from the hole 14. The hole 14 may be a long hole, a slit, or the like.

Further, since the heater 15 is embedded in a portion of the cover plate 9 where the hole 14 is not formed, when snow 16 falls and is accumulated on the cover plate 9, the snow is covered. Since it is melted by the heat of the heater 15 embedded in the
If it is in a state closer to water, when snow is accumulated in the vicinity of the hole 14, the water is drained from the hole 14 more smoothly and directly into the eaves gutter.

Further, if the snowfall melted by the heat of the heater 15 is melted by the heat of the heater 15 and is closer to water, the tip 10 of the cover plate 9 has the rear end 12 of the inclined plate 5. Is located adjacent to the cover plate 9
Since the inclination of the cover plate 9 gradually increases from the rear part to the front end part 10, the cover plate 9 has a rear part to the front end part 10.
The moving speed is gradually increased as it goes to, and the drainage is more smoothly drained into the eaves trough from the gap between the front end portion 10 of the cover plate 9 and the rear end 12 of the inclined plate 5, or the inclined plate 5 is moved from above. Slide down under the building.

Since the rear end 11 of the cover plate 9 is fixed to the outer wall 13 of the building, the inconvenience of dropping the eaves gutter due to the load of snow is unlikely to occur.

By using the eaves trough device described above, it is possible to provide an eaves trough device that can smoothly discharge snowfall into the eaves trough, and further provide a eaves trough device that can be easily constructed. .

[0014]

The eaves gutter apparatus according to the first aspect of the present invention is provided with the cover plate that covers the opening, so that dead leaves, snow and the like are less likely to accumulate in the eaves gutter. Further, the cover plate has a gradually increasing degree of inclination from the rear portion toward the front end portion, and since the front end portion is arranged adjacent to the rear end of the inclined plate, the snow accumulated on the cover plate smoothly. Drains down into the eaves gutter, or slides down the inclined plate from above to the bottom of the building.

Further, since the cover plate is provided with the hole, the snow accumulated on the cover plate is drained down into the eaves gutter through the hole. In addition, the heater embedded in the cover plate melts the snow on the cover plate by the heat of this heater, so that the snow on the cover plate can be more smoothly drained into the eaves gutter, or can be inclined. The board slides down from above to the bottom of the building. On the other hand, since the rear end of the cover plate is fixed to the outer wall of the building, the inconvenience of dropping the eaves gutter due to the load caused by snow is unlikely to occur.
