Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention is a connection structure between a vertical rain gutter member and a horizontal rain gutter member whose upper surface is an inclined surface whose height gradually decreases from the rear end to the front end with respect to the bottom surface. Regarding.

The term "vertical rain gutter member" as used herein refers to, for example, a water collector or an elbow joint as shown in FIG. The gutter a, as shown by the symbol a in the figure, has an inclined upper surface and a decreasing cross-sectional area, and when it is installed horizontally, it matches the slope of the roof and gives it a luxurious look. It is often used in high-class houses.

By the way, the horizontal rain gutter member as shown in FIG.
That is, the nominal gutter a and the vertical gutter member, that is, the elbow joint e
Although the connection structure is well known, as is clear from the figure, in this connection structure, the liquid cylinder e1 of the elbow joint e is connected to the water pipe a.
Since the structure is such that the rear end portion a1 of the connector is externally fitted and connected, there are the following problems.

In other words, when gutter A is produced in a factory and transported to the site and connected to the water collector and downspout C, the eave dimensions l of the house vary depending on the house, so prepare one that matches that. Must.

If it is a normal straight pipe pipe, the dimensions can be adjusted by cutting it appropriately on site, but in the case of a pipe pipe a as shown in this figure, the rear end a1 is connected to the liquid cylinder e1 of the elbow joint e at the front end. liquid cylinder a
2 has a cross-sectional shape that matches the elbow joint e2, and the cross-sectional area decreases from the rear end to the front end, so it is not possible to cut it halfway to match the dimension l. Therefore, there was a production hassle in that a variety of products had to be stocked to suit the various eaves dimensions l depending on the house.

The present invention has been developed in view of the above problem, and is particularly suitable for cutting work on the above-mentioned gutter where the top surface is an inclined surface whose height gradually decreases from the rear end to the front end with respect to the bottom surface. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a connection structure that can be adjusted as appropriate by the owner without the need for additional equipment.

The present invention will be explained in detail below based on embodiment figures.

Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 3 is a partially cutaway perspective view of a connection structure obtained by each member shown in Fig. 2,
FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of essential parts of another embodiment, and FIG.

Each member of the connecting structure of the present invention in the example shown in the figure is made of a synthetic resin material, and to describe the gist of the present invention with reference to the figure, the top surface is at a height from the rear end to the front end with respect to the bottom surface 15. It consists of a horizontal rain gutter member 1 with an inclined surface that gradually decreases and a vertical rain gutter member 1, and the upper surface of the horizontal rain gutter member 1 is appropriately opened 11 along the longitudinal direction, and Insert the connection part 21 of the vertical rain gutter member 2 into the clear cut 12 of the clear cut 12
The rain gutter members 1 and 2 are connected by sliding fit between the protruding strips 3 and the groove grooves 4, which are provided at corresponding portions of the member 1.degree. This is a connection structure for a rain gutter member in which the rear end portion 13 of the rain gutter member is closed.

The horizontal rain gutter member 1 in the connection structure illustrated in FIGS. Full opening 13'
Moreover, the upper end edges 141.141 of both side walls 14.14 are provided with an inclined surface t whose height gradually decreases with respect to the bottom surface 15 from the rear end 13 to the front end.
A protruding strip 3, 3 is provided on each of the inner wall surfaces in the longitudinal direction of the bottom surface 1.
5 and are provided parallel to and opposite to each other.

Further, the vertical rain gutter member 2 is a rectangular cylindrical elbow joint, and the elbow joint 2 has grooves 4, 4 facing each other at the lower end of the outer wall of the downward connecting tube 21. .

Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the concave grooves 4, 4 provided opposite to the elbow joint 2 and the protrusions 3, 3 of the nominal square gutter 1 are slidably fitted to each other, so that the elbow joint 2 and the nominal square gutter 1 are slidably fitted together. At the same time, a closing lid 5 is attached to the rear end 13 of the nominal square gutter 1 to close the opening 13', and the opening 11 on the top surface is also closed by the lid 6 (however, the opening 11 on the top surface is also closed by the lid 6). 6 is not essential to the connection structure of the present invention).

In addition, the reference numeral 7 in FIGS. 2 and 3 is a liquid cylinder that is internally fitted and connected to another rain gutter member (for example, the elbow joint e2 at the top of the downspout C shown in FIG. 1). 8 is a square gutter,
9 is a water collector connected to the eaves gutter.

The nominal angle gutter 1 shown in FIG. 4 is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 above,
The difference from the illustrated square gutter 1 is that concave grooves 4, 4 are provided instead of the protrusions 3, 3.

Also, the vertical rain gutter member in FIG.
The connection part γ of this embodiment is horizontal, whereas the connection part 2 of this embodiment
1' is facing downward.

A protrusion 3° 3 opposite to the concave grooves 4, 4 provided in the connection portion 21 of the elbow joint 2 is provided in the connecting portion 21'.

Therefore, the connection structure itself belongs to the same category as the embodiments shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, except that the relationship between the concave and convex portions is reversed.

Furthermore, when grooves 4, 4 are provided opposite to each other at the lower end of the connecting part 21 of the vertical rain gutter member, that is, the elbow joint 2, as shown in the example of FIGS. 2 and 3, the example shown in FIG. Various types of gutter 1 are conceivable, as shown in FIG. Convex strips 3, 3 are provided in parallel with 15, and the upper end edges 141, 141 of both side walls 14.14 have inclined surfaces t in the direction from the rear end 13 to the front end, that is, in the direction of the contact portion 7.
In addition, as shown in Figure 5, both side walls 1
4.14, the upper end edge 141, 141 is similarly provided with an inclined surface t, and protrusions 3, 3 are provided oppositely along this inclined surface t.

In addition, when providing grooves 4.4 on both side walls 14, 14 of the gutter 1, in the example shown in the above illustrations, the grooves 4.14 protrude outward by the amount recessed in the inner wall surface of the side walls 14. It goes without saying that the surface can be made smoother by making it thicker.

The present invention has the above configuration, that is, the top surface is the bottom surface 1.
5, the upper surface of the horizontal rain gutter member 1, which has a slope whose height gradually decreases from the rear end to the front end, is appropriately opened 11 along the longitudinal direction to improve the cleanliness of this member 1. 1
Connection part 21 of vertical rain gutter member 2 like a water collector in 2
can be inserted freely in the longitudinal direction of the clearing head 12, and has a structure in which both the gutter members 1 and 2 are connected by sliding fit between the protruding stripes 3 and the groove grooves 4 provided opposite to each other in corresponding parts of this member. So,
Its free sliding makes it possible to adjust the dimensions to suit the eaves dimension l, and therefore, as in the past, in a factory, horizontal rain gutter members 1 that match the eaves dimensions, which vary from house to house, are manufactured for each rice. This eliminates the need for manufacturing, eliminates the need for any cutting work, and eliminates the need for finishing work on the cut portion, making it possible to speed up and simplify the connection work.

Furthermore, since the upper edges 141, 141 are inclined forward, when the connected state is viewed from the outside (horizontal crosspiece), it matches the slope of the roof and has the effect of creating a luxurious look.

Note that the horizontal rain gutter member 1 such as a gutter does not require dimensional adjustment by cutting as described above, but the gutter tip dimension l is extremely short, and the rear end side of the rain gutter member 1 is close to the other rain gutter member 2. If it protrudes too far from the connecting portion 21, the rear end portion may be cut off as appropriate.

As described above, the connection structure of the present invention allows the dimensions of the eaves to be adjusted appropriately even for horizontal rain gutter members with an inclined top surface, extremely high workability, and eliminates the hassle associated with manufacturing. This is a very profitable idea.
