Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a gutter chain connector suitably used when connecting chain units in a gutter chain.

In the conventional chain gutter, the chain units are connected to a predetermined length by the manufacturer, and are connected to a water collector or the like attached to the eaves to form the chain gutter.

The distance from the water collector to the ground varies from house to house, and it may be necessary to adjust the length of the chain gutter, but with metal chain units, the work of expanding and closing the chain pieces is complicated. This may damage the outer surface of the chain unit.

In addition, in the case where the chain units are connected and molded using synthetic resin, it is necessary to form cuts in the chain pieces of the separate chain units, which requires complicated labor.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks and provides a chain gutter connector that allows connecting separate chain units to a chain line formed to a predetermined length without requiring complicated efforts.

The gist of the present invention is that chain piece locking hooks are provided at both ends of a rod-shaped body bent in a substantially U-shape and formed by being bent to the same side, and the chain piece locking hook portions are formed on the inside of the bent portion of the rod-shaped body. A chain gutter coupling device which is provided with a chain piece fitting part and is configured such that when both ends of the rod-shaped body are pressed in a direction in which they approach each other, the chain piece fitted to the chain piece fitting part can be pinched. exists in

Next, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a chain gutter connector A.

The chain gutter connector A is bent at a substantially central part 5 of the rod-like body, and a chain-like fitting part 8 is provided inside the bent part, and both ends are bent to the same side to form a chain piece locking hook part. 1,1 is formed.

The chain piece locking hook part 1 has a narrow part 2 formed at its tip, and a lower end part of the narrow part 2 is bent laterally to provide an expanded part 3.

The chain piece locking hooks 1, 1 are inclined, and the expanded portion 3 is formed in an oblique direction.

When both ends of the rod-shaped body are pressed in a direction toward each other, the chain piece 6 fitted into the chain piece fitting part 8 can be clamped.

The manner of use of these chain gutter connectors will be explained.

In the gutter chain connector A, in order to enable the lower chain piece to swing, it is preferable that the inner diameter of the chain piece locking hook portion 1 is larger than that of the chain piece 6 to which it is fitted.

As shown in FIG. 2, the chain gutter connector A connects the lower chain piece 6 with the
Fit the chain piece 6 into the chain piece fitting part 8 of the central part 5, press both ends of the rod-shaped body in a direction toward each other with one hand, and pinch the chain piece 6 fitted into the chain piece fitting part 8, Chain piece 6 fitted to chain gutter connector A
Fit the expanded portions 3 of the chain piece locking hooks 1, 1 into the upper chain piece 6 while being careful not to move the chain piece locking hooks 1, 1 lightly, and lightly pull the lower chain piece 6. , 1 are fitted onto the upper chain piece 6.

Since the inventive chain gutter connector has the above-mentioned structure, there is no need to deform the chain units or make cuts, and connect separate chain units to the chain gutter prepared at a predetermined length. The length can be adjusted by using the chain gutter, and it can be used extremely effectively, especially when the distance from the water collector to the ground is insufficient with the chain gutter prepared on site. is formed by being bent to the same side at both ends of the rod-like body, and when both ends of the rod-like body are pressed in the direction toward each other, the chain piece fitted in the chain piece fitting part can be pinched. Therefore, hold and press both ends of the rod-shaped body with one hand to prevent the chain piece fitted into the chain piece fitting part from moving accidentally, and then insert the chain piece locking part into the upper chain piece. It can be fitted from one side to the top, and it is easy to lock onto the upper chain piece, making it safe to work at heights.
