JPS601137Y2 - Decorative frame mounting structure for rain gutter water collector - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to the structure of attaching a decorative frame to a metal rain gutter water collector.

Generally, a generally cylindrical rain gutter water collector that is open at the top and has a drainage hole at the bottom has a decorative decoration attached to the upper part of the main body of the water collector.

This water collector decoration is made integrally with the water collector body if it is a simple decoration, but if the decoration is complex or if the decorative frame also serves as a fixing for eaves gutters, etc. It is desirable that the decorative frame be prepared as a separate part from the decorative frame.

Here, a conventional example will be explained with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

FIG. 4 is an exploded view of the water collector main body 1 on which the eaves gutter 5 is mounted and the decorative frame 2.

The decorative frame 2 is composed of a decorative main body 2a and a U-shaped mounting rod 2b whose end is fixed to the main body.

On the other hand, a locking portion 1h bent forward is formed at the upper end of the front plate 1c of the water collector main body 1 having a substantially rectangular cylindrical shape, and four tongue pieces 1g are extended from the upper end of the back plate 1d. The two tongues in the center hold the ears of the eaves gutter 5 placed on the side surface of the water collector body 1.

When installing, a locking piece 1 is formed on the back side of the locking part 1h of the water collector body 1 by bending the lower end of the decorative body 2a inward.
1, and on the other hand, the rear part of the U-shaped mounting rod 2b is positioned behind the tongue piece 1g, and then the tongue piece 1g is bent backward and the attachment rod 2b is held and fixed while being pulled backward.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view when the decorative frame 2 has been completely attached to the water collector main body 1.

However, when installing the decorative frame as described above, when actually constructing the structure, if the main body of the water collector and the gable plate 3 are close to each other as shown in the side view of Fig. It is very difficult to install because there is no space for bending, and the decorative frame is fixed only with the tongue pieces on the back plate of the water collector.
The decoration itself was weak in strength.

In view of the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, the present invention provides a decorative frame mounting structure for a metal rain gutter water collector that has a simple structure, is firmly fixed, and is easy to construct.

Embodiments of the present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of a rain gutter collector and a decorative frame according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Two tongue pieces 1a extend from the front plate 1c of the metal water collector main body 1, which is open at the top and has a drainage hole 1f at the bottom, and has a drainage hole 1f at the bottom, while two tongue pieces 1a extend from the front plate 1c, and at the upper end of the back plate 1d. A locking portion 1b curved in an encircling shape is provided.

This locking portion 1b is for locking the mounting rod 2b, and has a gap inside thereof into which the mounting rod can be inserted.

On the other hand, the decorative frame 2 is composed of a decorative main body 2a formed by bending a thin metal plate into a decorative shape, and a U-shaped mounting rod 2b whose end is fixed to the decorative main body. A slit-shaped slot hole 2C is provided.

When installing, the decorative frame 2 is attached to the locking part 1d of the water collector 1.
At the same time, the tongue piece 1a of the water collector body is fitted into the groove hole 2 provided at the lower end of the body 2a.
c and place the decorative frame on the top of the water collector.

Thereafter, by bending the tongue piece 1a inserted into the slot 2c inward and fixing it, the attachment of the decorative frame is completed as shown in the perspective view of FIG.

As mentioned above, the installation of the decorative frame of the rain gutter water collector according to the embodiment of the present invention has a simple structure and sufficient strength, and as shown in the side view after installation in Figure 1. It provides an excellent installation structure that can be easily installed even when the gap between the water collector 1 and the gable plate 3 is narrow.
