Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a water collector placed at the eaves, and includes a water collecting box 2 which is open at the top and has a drainage hole 1 at the bottom.
The wall 3 is inclined so that the diameter becomes larger toward the top, an eave gutter insertion hole 4 is provided in the wall 3, and the cross section of the lower edge 5 of the eaves gutter insertion hole 4 is shaped like an arc convex upward. This relates to water collectors.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a water collector that allows the inclination angle of the eaves gutter to be easily adjusted, has little resistance when the eaves gutter expands and contracts, and is easy to manufacture.

The present invention will be explained in detail below using examples.

The water collection box 2 is open at the top and has a drainage hole 1 at the bottom, and an eave gutter insertion hole 4 is provided in the wall 3 of the water collection box 2, so that the eaves gutter can be inserted into the eaves gutter. The cross section of the lower edge 5 of the insertion hole 4 has an upwardly convex arc shape.

In the embodiment shown in Fig. 2, the center part is highest and it has an arc shape that becomes lower toward both sides, and in the embodiment shown in Fig. 3, the outer end is the highest and the inner end is the highest. It has the lowest arc shape.

The water collector A configured as described above is placed at the eaves, and the eaves gutter 6 is inserted into the eaves gutter insertion hole 4, and an elbow or downspout is connected to the drainage hole 2, and the rainwater flowing from the eaves gutter 6 is collected. The water is drained into the elbow or downspout.

At this time, the angle of inclination when the eaves gutter 6 is inserted into the eaves gutter insertion hole 4 varies depending on the site, but since the lower edge 5 of the eaves gutter insertion hole 4 has an upwardly convex arc cross section, For example, in FIGS. 2 and 3, 4
As shown in Figure 9, the angle of inclination can be adjusted freely without resistance.

In addition, the eaves gutter 6 expands and contracts due to changes in outside temperature, but in this case as well, it slides on the lower edge 5 of the eaves gutter insertion hole 4, which has an arcuate cross section with a convex upper part. Compared to those with flat sections, there is less resistance when the eaves gutter expands and contracts.

In other words, if the lower edge is flat and the eaves gutter is inclined, the eaves gutter is supported by the inner corner of the lower edge and slides on this part, so it is less supported by the corner than by the arc-shaped part. Support is more resistance.

By the way, in the present invention, the wall portion 3 of the water collection box 2 is inclined so that the diameter increases toward the top, and this is for the following reason.

That is, when forming the water collector A using synthetic resin, the water collector A can be formed using the upper mold 7 and the lower mold 8 as shown in FIG.

In other words, even if the water collector A has the eave gutter insertion hole 4 in the wall portion 3 by tilting the wall portion 3, the convex portion 9 for forming the eave gutter insertion hole is provided on the side of the upper mold 7. This allows the eaves gutter insertion hole 4 to be formed, and also allows the upper mold 7 and lower mold 8 to be opened.
