Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] This invention relates to a gutter holder that supports rain gutters that are attached to the eaves of buildings.It can be installed quickly and easily with one touch by pushing upwards from below, and can be installed without using screws or tools. This allows the work to be carried out without using any tools.

Conventional gutter holders that support relatively large gutters installed on the roofs of factories, warehouses, etc. have a base that is fixed to the eaves in advance, and the gutter is pushed into it from below using flanges formed on the upper ends of both sides of the gutter. A type in which the upper U-shaped support fitting is divided into only the front vertical rod, the gutter is fitted and supported, and then the front vertical rod is applied from the front and screwed. 2
The most common type of gutter is the one that locks only the ears at the upper ends of both sides of the gutter, which makes it easy to dislodge, and when it deteriorates and loses strength over many years of use, it loses its supporting force and is at risk of falling off. In addition, in the latter case, after fitting and supporting the gutter from the front, it is very troublesome to apply the vertical rod and tighten the screws, which not only reduces work efficiency but also causes problems such as loosening of the screws. It had the disadvantage that it inevitably wobbled and fell off.

Therefore, the present invention is an improvement on the conventional method in view of these drawbacks, and the entire gutter is supported in a fitting manner from below, so that it will not accidentally come off or fall off due to deterioration of the gutter. In addition to preventing this, the one-touch operation of pushing the holding bracket from below allows for easy and quick installation without using any screws, screws, or tools, improving work efficiency, reducing safety, and reducing costs. The purpose is to

In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention
Mounting bracket 1 made of a metal strip that is horizontally fixed to the
and an upwardly U-shaped gutter-holding rod 3 that fits and holds the gutter 4 from below and connects it to the mounting bracket 1, and a glans-shaped fitting is attached to each upper end of the opposing vertical rods 3a of the gutter-holding rod 3. In addition to integrally providing the stopper 5, an elastic locking piece 6 made of a leaf spring is provided on the upper surface of the corresponding mounting bracket 1.
The locking body 5 at the upper end of the vertical rod is fixed to the elastic locking piece 6 through the mounting bracket 1, and the mounting bracket 1 and the ears of the gutter 4 are attached to the vertical rod 3a of the gutter holding rod 3. A plate spring material 7 is compressed and interposed between the upper end edge of the lower part and the upper edge of the lower part. The gutter holding rods 3 are made by bending a single round metal bar into an upward U-shape, and attaching the vertical rods 3 on both sides to each other.
A locking step portion 3c is formed in the middle of a, 3a, and brim-shaped ears 4a provided at the upper ends of both sides of the gutter 4 are locked to the locking step portion 3c, and the vertical rods 3a, 3a and the U-shaped bottom rod 3b are connected to each other. Make sure to hold the gutter 4 from below. Further, the vertical rods 3a, 3a on both sides are integrally provided with glans-shaped locking bodies 5, 5, which pass through the through holes 1a of the mounting bracket 1 and lock onto the elastic locking pieces 6, at their upper ends, respectively. Reference numeral 7 denotes a leaf spring material, which is attached to the vertical rod 3a of the gutter holding rod 3 and compressed between the mounting bracket 1 and the upper edge of the ear portion of the gutter 4.

The hanging rod 2 is vertically installed on the inner surface of the eaves, and a band-shaped mounting fitting 1 is fastened to the lower end of the hanging rod 2 with a screw 8 to fix it horizontally. A through hole 1a is provided on both sides of the upper surface of this mounting bracket 1, and an elastic locking piece 6 having a cut portion 6a is attached to the upper surface using rivets 9 or welding, and the cut portion 6a at the free end is placed above the through hole 1a. Let's face it.

Gutter 4 is installed as follows.

A mounting bracket 1 is horizontally attached and fixed to a suspension rod 2 suspended at a predetermined position on the inner surface of the eaves. Next, fit the gutter 4 into the gutter holding rod 3. The vertical rod 3a of the gutter holding rod 3 has a leaf spring material 7 attached to its upper part 3a', so that it is engaged with the lug 4a at the upper end of the gutter 4 as shown in FIG. , fold the two-fold parts 7a and 7b into the ears 4
Set the L-shaped hanging pieces 7e on the upper edge of the ear so that they abut against the inner surfaces of the ears. In this state, when the vertical rod 3a is inserted upward from below into the through hole 1a of the mounting bracket 1, the glans-shaped locking body 5 at the upper end of the vertical rod is inserted into the through hole 1a.
The cut portion 6a of the elastic engagement piece 6 is forcibly expanded to be elastically locked, so that it is prevented from coming off at the same time as the engagement. Therefore, the gutter 4 is integrally attached to the mounting bracket 1 while being fitted and held by the gutter holding rod 4. Also, during this installation, the leaf spring material 7 is compressed between the upper end of the lug 4a of the gutter 4 and the lower surface of the mounting bracket 1 against the spring pressure, so that the gutter is completely free from wobbling due to the spring pressure. Strongly mounted without any need for protection.

To remove the gutter 4, use your hand to push apart the cutout 6a of the elastic locking piece 6 that locks the glans-shaped locking body 5, and the engagement will be released. The gutter holding rod 3 can be easily removed.

The mounting bracket 1 is provided with a protrusion 1b that fits into the cutout 6a of the elastic locking piece 6 to prevent the locking piece from rotating.

As explained above, in this invention, the upward U-shaped gutter holding rod is engaged from below in the through hole of the mounting bracket, and the gutter is integrally connected. Because the ears are not suspended by locking only the ears, even if the ears have deteriorated over many years of use, such as with plastic gutters, the whole thing is completely supported from below, so there is no risk of it falling off. Since the gutter holding rod can be installed in a one-touch manner simply by forcing it in from below, workability is improved and difficult gutter installation work can be carried out easily and quickly. In addition, the glans-shaped locking body at the upper end of the vertical rod is locked to the elastic locking piece through the through hole of the mounting bracket, so the locking structure is simple and secure, and the gutter is made of leaf spring material. Since it is installed in a compressive manner, it eliminates looseness and can be installed strongly.
It can be implemented at low cost.
