Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a downspout support used for attaching a downspout to a skeleton, and more particularly, to a downspout having different outer diameters. The present invention relates to a downspout support that can cope with the problem. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventional gutter supports are disclosed in, for example, Japanese Laid-Open Utility Model Publication No. 55-69535, as disclosed in rain gutter retainers (hereinafter referred to as "gutter supports"). A plurality of locking portions are provided at the two divided edges of the arc-shaped downspout support section, thereby changing the inner diameter of the arc so as to flexibly cope with downspouts having different outer diameters. In addition, there is an approximately arc-shaped downspout supporting portion having elasticity (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-3468).
Reference). [0003] However, in the above-mentioned downspout support, in the former downspout, when the inside diameter is reduced, the internal shape changes, so that the downspout cannot be stably held. There was a problem that the downspout was deformed by overtightening. In the latter, since the basic internal shape is substantially circular, it fits into a downspout of one outer diameter, but when supporting downspouts with different outer diameters, many of the supports themselves are used. However, there is a problem that deformation of the downspout is caused while leaving the distortion of the downspout. Accordingly, the present invention is a downspout support invented in order to solve the problems of the above-mentioned conventional products, and an object of the present invention is to flexibly cope with downspouts having different outer diameters. On the other hand, an object of the present invention is to provide a downspout support that can stably hold the downspout without being deformed. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above, and has been made in view of the above. A vertical section made of a synthetic resin, which is divided into substantially half at a base end and a front end and formed in a substantially arc shape as a whole. In a gutter supporting device having a gutter support portion and a frame attaching portion disposed at a base end portion of the gutter support portion, the base edge portion and the tip end portion are attached to each other at the edges. An engaging portion to be engaged and a hinge portion are provided, and the engaging portion is provided with one or a plurality of engaging projections and engaging holes, respectively, for engaging with each other. The fulcrum is provided, and a fulcrum holding portion for stably fixing the fulcrum at a plurality of locations and slidably between the position fixing portions of the fulcrum is provided on the other of the hinge portions. Is a downspout support. Here, the engaging portion and the hinge portion can be appropriately selected as long as they engage with each other in pairs, and either may be provided at either the base end portion or the distal end portion. The number of the engaging portions and the hinge portions can be appropriately set according to the shape of the corresponding downspout, but is about 2 to 3 in consideration of the elastic force of the downspout support itself. Is preferred. The engaging portion has an engaging hole which is a concave portion on one side,
The other is provided with an engagement projection which is a projection. This shape was adopted in view of simplicity of construction and low cost. Other means that can be adopted include engaging means with bolts and nuts, and bonding with adhesive or surface adhesive tape. It goes without saying that there are also means for combining.
Further, by providing a plurality of the engaging portions, any of the engaging projections can be engaged with any of the engaging holes. The hinge portion comprises a fulcrum and a fulcrum holding portion, and any one of the hinge portions may be provided at either the base end portion or the tip end portion. Further, the fulcrum holding portion is formed so as to stably fix the fulcrum at a plurality of positions and to allow the fulcrum to slide freely between the respective position fixing portions. The configuration for enabling the sliding between the position fixing portions can be achieved by providing a slit having such a width that the fulcrum can barely slide between the position fixing portions. is there. [0009] The skeleton mounting portion provided at the base end of the downspout support portion can be appropriately selected and used as long as the downspout support portion can be mounted on the skeleton. There are, for example, nails, screws or bolts and nuts made of metal or synthetic resin, and those via a medium such as a bent plate for attachment thereto. Further, when the base end supports a larger downspout, the base end must be opened by its own elastic force. However, since the base end itself is formed in a substantially semicircular shape, a pressing force until the downspout is deformed as in the above-described conventional technique is not applied. According to the present invention, an engaging member at a base end and a distal end of a downspout support is formed by an engaging portion and a hinge portion, and one or more engaging portions are provided. Are provided at a plurality of locations, the ends of the distal end are extended by the same distance, the center of the distal end is always brought into contact with the center of the downspout, and the base end is opened by its own elastic force. It is possible to stably support even downspouts of different types. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing one embodiment of a downspout support according to the present invention. The downspout support shown in the present embodiment is a downspout support 1 made of synthetic resin, which is divided into substantially a half at a base end 2 and a front end 3 and is formed into a substantially arcuate shape as a whole. The main part is formed by a frame attachment part 6 provided at the base end of the gutter support part 1. An engagement portion 4 and a hinge portion 5 for engaging the edges with each other are provided at the respective edges of the base portion 2 and the tip portion 3. Further, the engaging portion 4 is provided with an engaging projection 41 and two engaging holes 42, 42 which engage with each other. Further, a fulcrum 51 of the hinge portion 5 is provided at one of the hinge portions 5 (an end portion of the distal end portion 3), and the fulcrum 51 is provided at the other end of the hinge portion 5 (an end portion of the base end portion 2). A fulcrum holding portion 52 is provided to stably fix the position at two places and to allow the position fixing portion to slide freely. Here, the downspout support according to the present embodiment allows the tip 3 to be freely opened and closed with the fulcrum 51 as a fulcrum, and allows the engaging portion 4 to stably engage the outer gutter. p
Can be stably supported. When supporting downspouts having different outer diameters, the tip 3A is rotated so that the fulcrum is slid toward the tip as shown by a fulcrum 51A, while the downspout (not shown). ), And furthermore, an engaging hole 42B on the end side of the tip 3A
