JPH10280626A - Clogging preventive member for rain gutter - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To protect a rain gutter against fallen leaves and snow by capping a semi-tubular member having both ends and two intermediate parts bent to a tubular member having a slope on the upper surface. SOLUTION: A semi-tubular member formed to have both ends and two intermediate parts bent is capped to a tubular member having trapezoidal cross section with a slope on the upper surface and a rounded surface at the lateral end of a lifting part, thereby forming a rain gutter clogging preventive member. Thereafter, the clogging preventive member is mounted on a rain gutter fitted to the bargeboard 5 of a building roof. As a result, rainwater from a roof changes a flowrate at the slope of the member and is guided along the member at the bent parts thereof. Then, the rainwater flows into the rain gutter. In this case, fallen leaves do not come to be positioned along the member, and do not enter the rain gutter. Also, snow does not enter the rain gutter. Thus, the breakage of the rain gutter due to the weight of the snow does not take place.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a member for protecting a rain gutter from falling leaves and snow and guiding rainwater to the gutter along the member of the present invention.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, if fallen leaves are clogged in rain gutters, they are regularly inspected. If they are clogged, work is carried out at a high place. .

[0003]

The fallen leaves that have fallen on the roof in the past accumulate in the rain gutter, and the gutter is clogged. If the gutter is not cleaned, rainwater will not flow and the function of the rain gutter will be impaired. Further, snow has a problem that the rain gutter is damaged due to the load of snow on the rain gutter.

[0004]

A semi-tubular member having both ends and two intermediate portions bent is covered by a trapezoidal tubular member having a trapezoidal cross section having an inclined upper surface and a rounded upper end. By mounting on the gutter attached to the gable plate on the roof of the building, the fallen leaves can flow into the gutter without rainwater and can withstand the load of snow. The position where the above-mentioned member is attached is on the rain gutter, but it is effective to provide a clearance of 10 mm between the rain gutter and the present member.

[0005]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A tubular article shown in FIG. 4 having a longitudinal section shown in FIG. 3 is prepared and attached to a gable plate of a building roof shown in FIG. The member of the present invention shown in FIG. 2 having the longitudinal section shown in FIG. 1 is covered on the attached tubular member and attached as shown in FIG.

[0006]

Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

The rainwater changes the flow rate of the rainwater when it touches the inclined portion of FIG. 1 (1) of the member from the roof, and further the member of the present invention is bent at the bent portions of FIGS. 1 (2) and (3). And flows into the gutter without jumping out of the gutter at the portion of FIG. 1 (4).

Since the fallen leaves do not follow the members, they do not enter the rain gutter.

Since snow does not enter the rain gutter, the rain gutter is not damaged by the snow load.
