DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a downspout installation apparatus which can easily attach a downspout to a column such as a carport of a single-flow roof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, components of a mounting device for a downspout such as a carport having a single-flow roof as shown in FIG. 8 are exploded and shown in an enlarged view in FIG. A large-diameter annular body in which a band made of a synthetic resin or the like is bent into a ring and support pieces are opposed to both ends, and a through hole is formed in the center of the support piece, and the band is bent into a ring. A small-diameter annular body having leg pieces opposed to both ends and a through hole formed in the center of the leg pieces, and a bolt and a nut of a coupling tool.

[0003]

By the way, in order to attach a downspout to a pillar or a pillar such as a carport, a projection is previously provided on the pillar or a pillar, and the outer periphery of the downspout is wrapped around with a band or the like and bolts are used. The ends of the bands were fastened to pillars or pillar projections, or the outer circumferences of the pillars or pillars and the downspout were wound with respective bands, and the ends of both bands were integrally fastened with bolts. In the case of the former mounting means, a projection must be provided on the pillar in advance, and the projection may damage other articles during processing or transportation, or the projection may interfere with packing during packing. There is a concern that work may be hindered. In the latter fastening means, the band for the column and the band for the downspout must be compressed at the same time and bolts must be inserted through the through holes to perform the fastening work.
At this time, the two bands repel each other due to the elastic force, and the bolts cannot be inserted at the same time to easily fasten the two bands. In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for mounting a downspout, which can easily fasten both bands for a column and a downspout with bolts.

[0004]

As a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, a support piece is provided opposite to both ends of an annularly bent band, and a projecting engagement step portion is provided at the base of the support piece. And a support such as a carport is wound around a space portion of the large-diameter annular body provided with a through-hole at the center of the support piece, and then a transparent hole is formed in both support pieces of the large-diameter annular body. Insert the bolts of the fastener between the holes, connect them temporarily, temporarily fix them with nuts, install the leg pieces at both ends of the annularly bent strip, and install the split groove and the tip at the middle part of the leg pieces. After the downspout is wound around the space of the small-diameter annular body provided with the engaging pieces outwardly, the leg pieces are compressed by fingers against the elastic force of the small-diameter annular body opposite to the left and right. Eliminates gaps and inserts between the supporting pieces opposite the left and right ends of the large-diameter ring while avoiding the threaded portion of the bolt with the split groove provided in the middle part of the leg of the small-diameter ring. To The leg piece is restored to its original state by the restoring force of the small-diameter ring, and the engaging step and the legs of the small-diameter ring are formed in a projecting shape at the base of the support piece opposite to the left and right sides of the large-diameter ring. The engaging piece opposite to the tip of the piece is held in the engaged state. In this state, the small diameter ring does not separate from the large diameter ring. Thereafter, when the bolts and nuts of the coupler are tightened with a tool, the support piece of the large-diameter annular body and the leg piece of the small-diameter annular body are simultaneously crimped, and the downspout is fixedly supported on the column.
