FIGS. 1 and 2 show an example of a particularly useful embodiment of the present invention, which comprises a main member 12 made of a steel plate and a holding member 14. FIG. A mounting portion 16 for mounting to the eaves, a front rain gutter support portion 18 supporting an upper end 32 of the rain gutter 22 remote from the eaves, and a rear rain gutter support portion supporting an upper end 34 near the eaves of the rain gutter 22. The main member 12 made of a steel sheet provided with
It is formed by welding together members 24 and 26 made of two steel plates. Also, the rear rain gutter supporting portion 20
The pressing member 14 provided at a position opposed to the above is made of plastic, and is fixed to an arm portion 28 connecting the mounting portion 16 and the front rain gutter support portion 18. Holding member 14
The spring retainer 36 extending in a tongue shape toward the rear rain gutter supporting portion 20 from the lower end of the rain gutter 22 allows the rear upper end 34 to bend and pass when pushed from below, but presses the passed upper end 34 from the inside. The rear gutter support 2
This is to prevent deviation from zero.

The rain gutter 22 is attached to the eaves as follows. First, the hanging metal fitting 10 in the rain gutter is fixed to the eaves with a wood screw or the like through a fixing hole 19 provided in the mounting portion 16. The fixed position is set at a predetermined interval based on the gradient of the rain gutter 22. Next, the front upper end 32 of the rain gutter 22 is hooked and hung on the front rain gutter support portion 18 of the hanging gutter 10 in the rain gutter, and the rear upper end 34 is lifted and applied to the spring retainer 36. This is performed by sequentially repeating in the length direction.

In the rain gutter hanging bracket 10 of the present embodiment, the rain gutter supporting surfaces 30 of the front rain gutter supporting portion 18 and the rear rain gutter supporting portion 20 are provided.
Are both formed as cut surfaces of steel plates arranged vertically in a direction crossing the rain gutter 22. Further, the front rain gutter support portion 18 and the mounting portion 16 are connected by an arm portion 28 made of a steel plate arranged vertically.

The term “vertical” in the present invention refers to a vertical direction. Therefore, being disposed vertically means that the surface of the steel plate is disposed substantially parallel to the vertical direction. Also,
The rain gutter support surface is a surface that contacts and supports the rain gutter, and is not limited to a lower surface, and includes a surface that surrounds the upper end 32 or 34 of the rain gutter up and down and back and forth. Further, the front rain gutter supporting portion mainly composed of a steel plate means a front rain gutter supporting portion mainly configured to support a force received by the rain gutter supporting surface via the rain gutter. .

FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate the state of attachment of the holding member 14 and the method of attachment. That is, the arm portion 28 formed by stacking the members 24 and 26 made of a steel plate is inserted into the groove 42 provided in the lower holding member 40.
Then, it is covered with the upper pressing member 38. At this time, by pressing the ridge-shaped projections 44 provided on the lower holding member 40 and the grooves 46 provided on the upper holding member 38 elastically, the holding member 14 is tightened so that the arm 28 is tightened. It is fixed to the arm 28.

According to the hanging metal fitting 10 in the rain gutter of the present embodiment, the rain gutter supporting surface 30 of the front rain gutter supporting portion 18 is formed as a cut surface of a steel plate vertically arranged in a direction crossing the rain gutter 22. For this reason, the strength in the front-rear and up-down directions in the direction in which a force such as a typhoon is particularly strongly applied is particularly improved. Also,
The front rain gutter support portion 18 and the mounting portion 16 are connected by a steel plate arm portion 28 that is disposed vertically.
For this reason, even if the front rain gutter support part 18 receives a strong force in the front-rear and vertical directions, it does not bend or break. Also,
Since the rain gutter supporting surface 30 of the rear rain gutter supporting portion is also formed as a cut surface of a steel plate vertically arranged in the direction crossing the rain gutter 22, strength in the front-rear and vertical directions is particularly improved.

Further, according to the hanging fitting 10 in the rain gutter of the present embodiment, all of the front rain gutter support portion 18, the rear rain gutter support portion 20, the arm portion 28, and the like are arranged vertically in the direction crossing the rain gutter 22. Since both the gutter support surfaces 30 are formed as cut surfaces and are formed of a steel plate disposed, a simple process of notching a flat plate without bending or welding is required, and the front gutter support is provided. The part 18, the rear gutter support part 20, and the arm part 28 can be provided.

The main member 12 of the hanging gutter 10 in the present embodiment.
Is welded together with a member 26 made of a steel plate and a member 24 having an inverse symmetry with the member 26 shown in FIG.
It can also be used as The holding member 14 can be attached in the same manner as shown in FIGS. There is an advantage that the processing cost can be reduced, and the decrease in strength can be compensated for by increasing the width of the mounting portion 16 and increasing the thickness of the steel plate.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 6, the main member 12 may be provided with a bent portion 50 on the arm portion 28, the front rain gutter support portion 18, or the rear rain gutter support portion 20. Since the bending strength is improved by providing the bent portion 50 bent at a substantially right angle, the steel plate can be made thinner. FIG.
The holding member 14 can be attached in the same manner as shown in FIG. In addition, the main member 12 and the member 54 made of an inversely symmetric steel plate are overlapped and welded so that the bent portions 50 are in contact with each other, so that a main member 52 as shown in FIG. 7 can be obtained. . Since the gutter supporting portions 18 and 20 are formed to be twice as wide as the bent portions 50, there is an effect that the gutter is stably supported. By attaching the holding member 14 in the same manner as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the main member 12 and the member 54
The connection with is further strengthened.

The material of the main members 12, 52 is a so-called ordinary steel plate or stainless steel plate. It is preferable that the steel plate is painted by powder coating or the like, or plated with zinc or the like, and the surface or cut surface is subjected to rust prevention treatment. The material of the holding member 14 is not particularly limited, such as plastic or metal. However, plastic is preferable because it is easy to mold and low in cost. For example, resins such as polycarbonate, ABS resin, and polypropylene are used.

FIGS. 8 and 9 show another embodiment which is particularly useful. FIG.
This is an example in which a main member 12 similar to 6 is inserted and injection-molded. The holding member 14 is a spring holding 3
6 are integrally formed. The arm 28

As shown in FIG. 9B, the mounting portion 16 covers the main member 12 having an L-shaped cross section and is resin-molded to have a T-shaped cross section with excellent symmetry as a whole.
The mounting surface is doubled. Forward gutter support 1
As shown in FIG. 9A, the gutter 8 and the rear gutter supporting portion 20 are formed in an H shape so as to cover the cut surface of the main member 12, so that the gutter supporting surface becomes wider, Can be supported more stably.

FIG. 10 illustrates a method of attaching the hanging gutter 10 in the present embodiment. That is, the fixing metal 58 is fixed to the eaves 62 in advance, and the fixing metal 58 is inserted into the pocket of the fixing metal 58 with the upper end of the mounting part 16 of the hanging metal fitting 10 in the rain gutter leading. Next, the hanging fitting 10 in the rain gutter is dropped, and the ridge-shaped projection 56 provided at the lower end of the mounting portion 16 is inserted into the elongated hole 60 provided near the lower end of the fixing fitting 58.
Then, the fixing member 64 is fixed to the fixing bracket 58 and the mounting portion 16.
The ridge-shaped protrusion 56 is prevented from coming out of the elongated hole 60 by being interrupted between the elongate holes 60, and the hanging gutter 10 in the rain gutter is stably fixed to the eaves 62.

According to the hanging metal fitting 10 in the rain gutter by the injection molding of the present embodiment, a strong rust prevention effect can be obtained by thickly covering the whole of the main member 12 made of the steel plate with the resin. Further, there is an effect that the appearance is improved. In addition, since the holding member 14 is integrally formed, the step of attaching the holding member 14 is omitted, so that the manufacturing cost and the delivery time can be reduced. At the same time,
Problems such as maintaining the stability of the mounting are eliminated, and the hanging fitting 10 in the rain gutter of higher quality can be obtained.

FIG. 11 shows another example of the hanging metal fitting in the rain gutter by injection molding, and the same hanging metal fitting 10 in the rain gutter as shown in FIG. 1 is integrally manufactured. That is, members 24 and 26 made of a steel plate previously plated with zinc or the like are inserted together and integrally formed so that the holding member 14 is added. As a result, the step of welding the members 24 and 26 made of the steel plate becomes unnecessary, and the step of attaching the holding member 14 to the arm 28 is omitted. In addition, troubles such as detachment of the holding member 14 are eliminated. The hanging fitting 10 in the rain gutter of this example is:
As in the case shown in FIG. 10, the projections 36 provided at the lower end of the mounting portion 16 are used to fix to the eaves 62 via the fixtures 58.

The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned several examples, but can be implemented in various modes. For example, the length of the arm 28 may be adjustable to accommodate rain gutters of different widths. Alternatively, to enhance the prevention of the gutter from coming off,
The holding member 14 may be provided in duplicate. Alternatively, the rain gutter supporting surface 30 can be formed by bending a steel plate constituting the rain gutter supporting portion, and the contact area with the rain gutter can be increased.

Alternatively, as a measure against the possibility that the spring retainer 36 is easily broken, the retainer 14 is
Slidably, and the holding member 14 may be moved to hold the inside of the rain gutter. Since no elastic repulsion is required, the spring retainer 36 can be made thicker to improve durability.
