Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a rain gutter attachment device for attaching a rain gutter to a small roof such as the roof of an entrance.

Traditionally, roofs with small areas such as entrance roofs often did not have rain gutters, and even if they did, the rain gutters were often installed horizontally to improve the appearance of the entrance. .

FIG. 1 shows such a conventional rain gutter mounting device,
As shown in C in the same figure, the frame 1 that is to become a rain gutter does not have a flow gradient, so rainwater tends to accumulate inside the frame 1 compared to a rain gutter with a flow gradient. Therefore, especially when there is a large amount of rainfall, there is a drawback that excessive weight is likely to be applied to the frame body 1 due to rainwater accumulated within the frame body 1.

Further, even after the rain has stopped, since the frame 1 is horizontal, rainwater tends to remain inside the frame 1, which causes the frame 1 to easily rust.

On the other hand, if you try to create a flow gradient by slightly tilting the frame 1 from the horizontal plane, although it is functionally superior, it is visually very difficult because the end 17 of the entrance roof 16 will be tilted with respect to the horizontal plane. The disadvantage was that it looked unsightly.

The present invention aims to eliminate such drawbacks of the conventional example.

The structure of the present invention will be explained below with reference to the illustrated embodiment. As shown in FIG.
A rain gutter 3 supported in a swingable manner is installed inside the rain gutter 3, and the bottom plate 4 of one end of the rain gutter 3 is brought into contact with the bottom plate 5 of the frame 1, so as to pass through both bottom plates 4 and 5. By sandwiching the bottom plate 4 of the rain gutter 3 between the flange part 7 of the installed face-dropping socket 6 and the bottom plate 5 of the frame 1, the rain gutter 3 is slightly tilted to create a flow gradient. be.

As shown in Fig. 2a, the rain gutter 3 housed within the frame 1 is swingably supported at the central portion 2 by a fulcrum 8, and can be tilted to either the left or right side of the entrance roof. It looks like this.

However, when installing the rain gutter mounting device of the present invention,
First, it is determined on which side of the entrance roof 16, on the right or left, the surface dropping socket 6 will be installed, taking into account the position of the drain near the entrance.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2, openings 9 and 10 are provided in the bottom plates 4 and 5 of the rain gutter 3 and the frame 1, respectively, on the sides on which the face-dropping sockets 6 are attached.

Thereafter, the flattened socket 6 is inserted into the openings 9 and 10.

The flange portion 7 is provided at the upper end of the face-dropping socket 6, and the male threaded portion 11 is provided at the outer surface of the lower end.
A fixing ring 13 having a female threaded portion 12 on the inner peripheral surface is attached to the frame 1.
If they are screwed together from the bottom side, the rain gutter 3 can be supported within the frame 1 at a slight angle from the horizontal plane, and the rain gutter 3 can also be drained to drain rainwater from the frame 1 downward. Holes 14 can be formed.

As shown in FIG. 2a, the upper end of the chain gutter 15 is hooked onto the lower end of the face-dropping socket 6.

As described above, in the present invention, a rain gutter whose central part is swingably supported is installed inside a horizontally installed frame, and the bottom plate of one end of the rain gutter is connected to the bottom plate of the frame. The bottom plate of the rain gutter is sandwiched between the flange part of the face-dropping socket, which is attached so as to come into contact with and pass through both bottom plates, and the bottom plate of the frame body, so the frame body can be erected horizontally. In addition, the internal rain gutter can be tilted with respect to the horizontal plane to create a slope for the flow of rainwater. Therefore, the water drainage of the rain gutter is very good, especially when there is a large amount of rainfall. This has the advantage that rainwater does not accumulate on the roof, and the roof of the entrance is not burdened with excessive weight from rainwater.

In addition, even after the rain has stopped, the rain gutter inside the frame is supported at a slight inclination from the horizontal plane as described above, so rainwater does not remain in the rain gutter, so unlike the conventional example, It has the advantage that there is almost no risk of rust forming on the frame.

Furthermore, in the present invention, the rain gutter is constructed so that it can be tilted to either the left or right side of the entrance roof within the frame that is installed horizontally. Therefore, it has the advantage that the position of the socket can be set on either the left or right side of the entrance roof depending on the location of the drain near the entrance during construction.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] A rain gutter whose center part is swingably supported is installed in a horizontally installed frame, and the bottom plate at one end of the rain gutter is brought into contact with the bottom plate of the frame and penetrates through both bottom plates. This rain gutter mounting device is constructed by sandwiching the bottom plate of the rain gutter between the flange part of the face-dropping socket and the bottom plate of the frame body, which are installed in the same way, so that the rain gutter is slightly tilted to give a flow gradient.
