Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent dead leaves and fallen leaves from getting into a gutter by raising a mounting edge on the side edge of a synthetic resin strip plate, curving and inclining its lower part, and boring a number of through-holes in the plate surface center parts to form the gutter formed of a mesh body. SOLUTION: The side edge of one support end laid along the longitudinal direction of a synthetic resin strip plate 1 is bent upward to form a mounting edge 2. The lower part of the mounting edge 2 is curved and inclined outward, and the center part of the plate surface is cut from the upper surface to bore a number of through-holes 3a, 3b juxtaposed in the longitudinal direction, whereby a mesh body 4 is formed. It is further gently bent inward to form a gutter part 5, the support end of the gutter part 5 is bent outward to form a reinforcing bent piece 6, and the gutter part 5 is held by a bracket. Thus, the damage of the gutter by snow cover or falling in the eaves edge of a roof is prevented, and dead leaves or fallen leaves are prevented from getting into the gutter.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rain gutter having a curved mesh body for preventing damage to snow eaves generated at eaves in a snowy country and for preventing dead leaves and fallen leaves from entering a gutter or a water collector. Is.

2. Description of the Related Art Some conventional rain gutters have a rain gutter net cover fitted to the upper surface of the rain gutter to prevent the entry of dead leaves and fallen leaves. There was a risk of damage due to slipping. References: Jpn.

[0003]

In a snowfall area, the conventional rain gutter having an open upper surface has the following drawbacks. In addition to the direct accumulation of snow in the gutters of rain gutters, the roof eaves gradually generate eaves over the eaves as time passes and the temperature rises, and the eaves are damaged by their weight and pressure.

Also, during the typhoon season, dead leaves such as trees
Fallen leaves enter the gutter directly or fall on the roof, which flows into the gutter and clogs the water collectors and vertical gutters, obstructing drainage. Even if the rain gutter is cleaned to remove this, if it is installed at a high place, there is a danger and it cannot be easily done.

The problem to be solved by the present invention is that it is necessary to use a rain gutter to guide rainwater at the eaves of the entrance and exit in a snowy area, but the situation is that the installation is suspended in consideration of snow damage in winter. . Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a rain gutter which does not have a risk of damage to the eaves of snowfall or roof snow and which does not require the work of removing dead leaves and fallen leaves.

Means for Solving the Problems The inventor was able to finally complete the present invention as a result of repeated experiments, wondering how to solve the above problems. A rain gutter having a curved mesh body according to the present invention solves the problem and is as follows. First, a rain gutter having a curved mesh body according to the present invention comprises a thick synthetic resin strip 1 having moderate elasticity, and a side edge of one supporting end along the longitudinal direction thereof is vertically bent and fixed. The mounting edge 2 for forming is formed. The lower part of the synthetic resin strip 1 is curved and inclined by a required length. However, if the curved inclined portion is too long, the mesh body is greatly swollen outward and the gutter portion 5 is also formed large. On the contrary, when the length is short, the curved slope becomes steep, and the trough portion 5 is formed small. The required length is needed to maintain the size and shape of a conventional rain gutter and to provide a reasonable curving slope.

One supporting end of the trough portion 5 is bent outward to form a bending piece 6 for reinforcement, and this and the mounting edge 2 have a certain height and have an opening shape. A large number of through holes 3a, 3b ... Are appropriately cut so as to form a mesh body 4 so as to be cut from the upper surface of the plate surface from the upper surface and arranged in parallel in the longitudinal direction along the curve. The mesh of the mesh body 4 may have any shape such as a rhombus, a four-lobed pattern, or a patterned mesh. Further, the mounting edge 2 is formed above the reinforcing bent piece 6, and the lowest through holes 3a, 3b of the mesh body 4 are formed at opposite positions, and these are integrally formed. .

Further, the space between the bending pieces for reinforcement 6 located below the mounting edge 2 has a height and is open. However, a space between the side plates (not shown) or a plurality of spaces is entirely formed between these spaces. The supporting legs (not shown) may be connected in some way.

The mesh body 4 is usually curved or inclined (gradient), but it may be formed in a corrugated shape, with a reinforcing plate, or as a separate body as in each embodiment introduced later.

[Action]

FIG. 1 shows a rain gutter having a curved mesh body according to the present invention, which has a property of easily adhering to snow if snow falls on the mesh body 4, so that the frame of the through holes 3a, 3b. Snowed up,
Eventually, the through holes become clogged and cover the surface. That is, the through holes and the top surfaces of the frame body are smooth. And the initial snowfall is exposed to the wind and becomes coarse (rough) snow over time, but it melts in fine weather, but if there is more snow, it will be like a surface avalanche in the mountainous area, for example. , Due to the rise in temperature and the weight of snow, it naturally falls along the curve of the mesh body to the ground.

Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the roof snow a gradually protrudes and becomes a parabola at the eaves to form a snow canopy b. However, when it cannot support its own weight, it is cut off, and a curved mesh body 4 is projected downwardly. Since it is located, the bottom of the cornice is guided along the curve on the coarse snow-like shape and falls to the ground.

That is, in a conventional rain gutter in which the gutter 5 is open, if a snow canopy enters the gutter 5 and forms a snowy mountain-like mass, this will hinder the subsequent snow from slipping off and the total weight of the roof snow. Becomes pressure and hits the gutter part 5 directly.
This phenomenon contributes to the destruction. The rain gutter having the mesh body of the present invention induces the sliding of the eaves by the curved mesh body 4 so as to eliminate the obstacle of the subsequent snow sliding and reduce the pressure.

If the roof snow slides down at once,
Since it suddenly jumps out of the eaves and falls far away in a parabolic shape, the trough 5 and the mesh body 4 are not subject to any shock.

Since the mesh body 4 is formed so as to cover the surface of the gutter portion 5, dead leaves and fallen leaves do not directly enter the gutter and adhere to the surface of the mesh body 4. This has no influence on the permeation of the rainwater d in the whole area of the mesh body 4. Therefore, clogging of the gutter part 5 and the vertical gutter (not shown) is prevented, which facilitates drainage. Then, the dead leaves and the fallen leaves attached to the surface of the mesh body 4 are dried when the weather is fine, and if the strong wind blows, the through holes 3a, 3 of the mesh body 4 are formed.
Since the wind blows from both the upper and lower surfaces of b ...
It separates from the surface of the mesh body 4 and falls to the ground.

Further, since the mounting edge 2 and the reinforcing bending piece 6 are in an open state with a height, and the reinforcing bending piece 6 is located almost directly below the mounting edge 2, the outer wall surface under the eaves. When they are fixed to each other, the outer wall surface fills the open gap, so that dead leaves and fallen leaves do not enter. Furthermore, since the mounting edge 2 and the reinforcing bending piece 6 are mounted separately at the upper and lower two points, the curved mesh body 4 has flexibility and elasticity. Therefore, it can withstand the impact of snow canopies and strong winds. The operation when used in this way is the same as that of the rain gutter having the curved mesh body according to the present invention.
