Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a mounting bracket for a rain gutter holder that supports a rain gutter.

Conventionally, rain gutter receivers have been integrally fixed with mounting brackets suitable for various types of construction, such as side-by-side mounting, driving in, and face-casting. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, a rain gutter receiver 200 that is attached to an eaves 100 to which a fascia 101 is fixed has a mounting bracket 200 for front mounting.
It was equipped with the following. The rain gutter receiver 200 equipped with such a mounting bracket 201 for front casting cannot increase or decrease its protruding width dimension L, and moreover, the roof tile 1
Since the distance D between the fascia 02 and the fascia 101 is not uniform due to the structure of the building and the relationship between carpenters and the like, several types of width L have been conventionally considered.
That is, by preparing rain gutter receivers 200 each equipped with five types of mounting brackets 201 with the above-mentioned projecting width L of 0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 mm, and using these properly, it is possible to adjust the width within the range of 0 to 60 mm. The protrusion width dimension L was adjusted with. However, when using one with a protruding width L of, for example, 15 mm, it is necessary to match the color and type of mounting hardware with the shape of the eaves, the color of the rain gutter, etc. It is also necessary to stock up on dozens of types of rain gutter trays equipped with mounting fittings, which poses a drawback in that it places a heavy burden on manufacturers, retailers, users, etc. in terms of inventory management.

In order to solve this problem, the mounting bracket is divided into two parts, one on the side for attaching to the eaves and the other on the gutter side, and the length of both can be adjusted freely by combining a long hole and a screw. However, this method had the disadvantage that tightening the thumbscrews was troublesome, and the time and labor required for this work was particularly large when installing a large number of rain gutter holders.

This invention was made to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks, and the rain gutter tray can be opened in one-touch manner by the action of an elastic piece that is integrated with the support part for supporting the support legs of the rain gutter tray. An object of the present invention is to provide a mounting bracket for a rain gutter receiver that can adjust the width dimension and fix it.

The present invention will be described below with reference to the illustrated embodiments.

The mounting bracket 1 illustrated in FIG. 2 includes a cross-shaped fixing part 11 that is fixed to the fascia of the eaves using means such as screws, and a protruding part 12 that projects from the lower end of the fixing part 11. The protruding part 12 includes an upright supporting part 13 provided at the tip thereof, and an elastic piece 14 provided at the upper end of the supporting part 13. 1 flat part 14a
It consists of an inclined part 14b extending from the tip in a direction approaching the protruding part 12. The support portion 13 has a through hole 1 having approximately the same diameter as the support leg 3 integrally provided with the rain gutter receiver 2 shown in FIG.
5 is formed, and a through hole 16 slightly larger than the diameter of the support leg 3 is formed in the inclined portion 14b.

In the above, when the fixing part 11 is fixed to the fascia 101 with the mounting screws 4 as shown in FIG. 3, the protruding part 12 is arranged substantially horizontally. Furthermore, as shown by the imaginary line in FIG. The through hole 16 of the portion 14b is located approximately concentrically. Therefore, in this state, the support leg 3
can penetrate into both the transparent holes 15 and 16, and after that penetration, slide the support leg 3 back and forth as shown by arrow A in FIG. The width dimension L is determined as required. After adjusting the width L in this manner, when the inclined part 14b is released from the hand, the elastic piece 14 restores its elasticity as shown by arrow B in FIG. Edge 16
a and the lower edge 16b engage with the support leg 3 in its removal direction, thereby positioning and fixing the support leg 3 to the mounting bracket 1 as shown in the same figure and FIG. 3.
That is, as is clear from FIG. 4, the support leg 3 is supported with its intermediate portion positioned by the through hole 15 of the support portion 13, and the slope portion 14b
The portion of the elastic piece 1 that passes through the through hole 16 is formed by the upper edge 16a and lower edge 16b of the through hole 16.
It is clamped by the force associated with the elastic restoring force of 4.

The mounting bracket 1 shown in FIG. 2 is manufactured by bending a single metal band, and includes a fixing part 11, a protruding part 12, a supporting part 13, and an elastic piece 14.
Since the elastic piece 14 plays the role of supporting the weight of the rain gutter (not shown), it is desirable that the elastic piece 14 has a height and rigidity that makes it difficult to bend at the middle part in the longitudinal direction. At first,
It is desired that the operation of deforming it to the position shown by the imaginary line in FIG. 4 against its elasticity can be performed as easily as possible by hand. To do this, it is necessary to bend a band having a rigidity that allows the elastic piece 14 to be formed relatively easily, and at the same time, as shown in FIG. Part 14
c, and rib portions 11a, 12a, 13 are formed on the fixing portion 11, the protruding portion 12, and the supporting portion 13, respectively.
It is advantageous to form them by bending them to increase their rigidity. In addition, in order to more reliably prevent the support leg 3 of the rain gutter tray 2 from falling off from the mounting bracket 1 as shown in FIG. engraved,
It is advantageous that the groove 31 engages the upper edge 16a and lower edge 16b (see FIG. 4) of the through hole 16 in the inclined portion 14b.

Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the through hole 15 of the support part 13 and the through hole 16 of the inclined part 14 are both circular holes,
In addition, when the support leg 3 of the rain gutter receiver 2 is a round bar as shown in Fig. 3, it is undeniable that the support leg 3 is in a state where it is easy to rotate even if the support leg 3 is engaged with the mounting bracket 1. . However, this point is
This problem can be resolved by supporting the rain gutter (not shown). In order to prevent the support leg 3 from rotating, both or one of the two through-holes 15 and 16 should be made polygonal, and the support leg 3 should only be inserted through the through-holes 15 and 16. It is useful to have a polygonal shape that is possible and engages in the circumferential direction.

Furthermore, the shape of the elastic piece 14 is not limited to that shown in Fig. 4. For example, as shown in Fig. 5, the inclined portion 14b
4. In the case of the elastic piece 14, the inclined portion 14b is inclined in the opposite direction to that of FIG.
The inclined portion 14 is supported by the support portion 13.
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 7, the horizontal portion 14a of an elastic piece 14 made of a shaped piece may be welded to the protruding portion 12.

As explained above, according to the mounting bracket of the present invention, it is possible to adjust the protruding width of the rain gutter catch and fix it in a so-called one-touch manner, so that it is possible to adjust the protruding width of the rain gutter catch and fix it in a so-called one-touch manner. When supporting gutters, there is an advantage that the construction can be carried out quickly and reliably. In addition, there is no need to manufacture or store rain gutter holders for each width, and it is sufficient to prepare gutter holders of a fixed size in various colors. Manufacturers, retailers, and users can save time and effort in inventory management.
