Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a gutter device, particularly a gutter device suitable for use at the eaves of buildings in snowy regions.

Normally, gutters are installed along the eaves of a building, and the outer upper edge of the gutter is located above the front extension line of the roof shingles. It is designed so that it hits and enters the gutter.

However, in snowy regions, the snow that has accumulated on the roof panels of the terrace gets caught on the outer upper edge of the gutter and does not fall, and due to the weight of the snow,
There is a problem in that the gutter becomes bent or damaged, and it no longer functions as a gutter outside of the snowy season.

It is also possible to place the gutters far below the eaves to prevent snow from getting caught, but in this case, during heavy rain, rainwater running down from the roof will flow to the outside of the gutters, making the gutters no longer useful. Not fulfilled.

The object of this invention is to provide a gutter device that can solve the above problems.

In the gutter device according to this invention, a guide plate is arranged above the gutter main body, the lower edge of the guide plate is rotatably attached to the outer upper edge of the gutter main body, and a movable member is arranged behind the guide plate. , its front end is rotatably connected to the upper edge of the guide plate, and its rear end is attached to the material so that it can move back and forth, and when the movable member moves back and forth, it moves above the guide plate. This is a gutter device whose edges can be appropriately exposed to the inside and outside of the flow path of rainwater or snow from the roof.

This invention will be explained below based on embodiments shown in the drawings.

In this specification, regarding the inside-outside relationship, the right side of FIG. 1 is referred to as the inside, and the left side is referred to as the outside.

In some cases, the inner side is also called the rear, and the outer side is called the front.

The drawing shows the gutter device according to this invention applied to a terrace.

1 is the front support of the terrace, and 2 is the main support made of extruded aluminum, which is attached to the upper end of the support 1 with bolts and nuts 3. As shown in Figure 3, the main support is a rectangular cross section. The upper surface has an internally enlarged groove 4 along the length direction.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a front frame member having an E-shaped cross section of the terrace attached to the front end surface of the material 2 by bolts and nuts 6, and has a rising portion 7 extending vertically upward at the rear end of the upper horizontal portion 5a.

The upper edge of the rising portion 7 has a notch 8 of a required width that opens upward at a position corresponding to the member 2 of the purlin support.

Reference numeral 9 denotes a bent member in the shape of a transversal abbreviation provided at the front lower edge of the front frame member 5, and the gutter body 10 is formed by this and the vertical portion 5b of the front frame member 5.

The front frame member 5, the rising portion 7, and the bending member 9 are integrally formed from an aluminum extrusion.

Reference numeral 11 indicates a drain hole drilled at the lower end of both ends of the length of the gutter body 10, 12 indicates a connecting head with a circular cross section and is connected to the outer upper edge of the gutter body 10, and 13 indicates a connecting head. Part 12
14 are a plurality of reinforcing members arranged at predetermined intervals in the length direction across both the inner and outer walls of the gutter body 10. The inner end portion 14a is the upper horizontal portion 5 of the front frame member 5.
The purlin support is fixed to the material 2 with bolts and nuts 6 along with a, and the outer end portion 14b is bent forward and diagonally upward and fitted into the gap between the folded protrusion 13 and the bent wall 9.

15 is a corrugated roof plate placed on the rising part 8 above the material 2; 16 is a guide plate placed above and along the gutter body 10; It consists of a curved portion 16a having a C-shaped cross section, and a pair of upper and lower groove portions 16b and 16C each having a C-shaped cross section connected to the upper and lower sides of the curved portion 16a.

The head 12 of the gutter body 10 and the lower groove 16C are slidably fitted from one end of the length, and the guide plate 16 is rotatably attached to the outer upper edge of the gutter body 10 at its lower end. There is.

17 is a movable member placed behind the guide plate 16;
As shown in the figure, it consists of a substantially horizontal rotating section 18 at the front and an L-shaped back-and-forth moving section 19 at the rear.

And these have hinges 20 at the rear end of the former and the upper end of the latter.
are connected by forming a

The rear half 18a of the rotating portion 18 is made narrow in accordance with the width of the notch 8 of the rising portion 7, and the front half 18b is bent into a substantially V-shape.

This approximately square-shaped bend prevents rainwater from flowing inward through the movable member 17.

The movable member 17 has a narrow rear half 18a in the notch 8.
By inserting it from above, it is prevented from coming off the rising portion 7.

A curled portion 21 is formed at the front end of the movable member 17.

Further, the upper groove portion 16 of the guide plate 16 described above is connected to the movable member 1
A corresponding length is removed at a position corresponding to 7, and the curled portion 21 is fitted into this removed portion to form a hinge 23 together with the groove portion 16b via the pin 22.

In this way, the movable member 17 is rotatably connected to the guide plate 16.

A bolt through hole 24 is provided in the horizontal part of the forward and backward moving part 19, and the purlin support is placed on the upper surface of the material 2.

25 is a T-shaped bolt whose head is fitted into the internal enlarged groove 4 of the material 2 to prevent it from coming off upwards.
The upwardly directed leg portion passes through the bolt through hole 24 and projects upward from the horizontal portion of the forward and backward moving portion 19.

Reference numeral 26 denotes a wing nut screwed onto the protruding portion of the T-shaped bolt 25, and by loosening the wing nut, the movable member 17 can be moved back and forth, and by tightening it, the purlin support is attached to the material 2 so that it does not move. .

27 are end covers attached to both ends of the gutter device.

In the gutter device having the above structure, during the snowfall season, the movable member 17 is pulled rearward, as shown by the solid line in FIG. It is stored so that the guide plate 16 is tilted forward and downward.

As a result, the snow that slipped from the roof was removed from the sloped guide plate 1.
6 and is guided out of the gutter body 10.

In addition, during non-snowy seasons, the movable member 17 is moved forward and the upper edge of the guide plate 16 is placed outside of the rainwater flow path, as shown by the chain line in FIG. Make it tilt in an inclined manner.

As a result, rainwater flowing down from the roof hits the inner surface of the guide plate 16 and is guided into the gutter body 10 when the force is strong, and directly enters the gutter body 10 when the force is weak.

In the above example, the gutter device is applied to a terrace, but it is not limited to this, but can also be used on the roof of an auxiliary prefabricated building such as a prefabricated one-story building used as a bicycle storage space, or a general house. can.

Furthermore, the movable and fixing means for the movable member 17 are not limited to those of the above embodiments.

As described above, according to the gutter device according to this invention, the upper edge of the guide plate 16 can be moved in or out of the flow path of snow or rainwater from the roof as appropriate by moving the movable member 17 back and forth. Therefore, during the snowy season, information board 1
The upper edge of the guide plate 16 can be stored under the eaves to guide snow to the outside of the gutter body 10 through the outer surface of the guide plate 16.

Therefore, there is no risk of the gutter body 10 being bent or damaged by the weight of snow.

Also, outside the snowy season, the upper edge of the guide plate 16 is projected forward from the eaves to allow rainwater from the roof to flow down into the gutter body 10, which can be used as a normal gutter.

Furthermore, since the movable member 17 is arranged behind the guide plate 16, it can be operated inside a building such as a terrace, which is extremely convenient.
