Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a rain gutter support which is mounted near the eaves of a building or the like, and more specifically, a gutter support body which is slidably connected to a mounting rod fixed to the eaves and the like. The present invention relates to a rain gutter support device that can be pressed and fixed to a desired position by a lock lever that rotates in a direction.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 6 is a side sectional view showing a conventional rain gutter support.

The rain gutter support 100 includes a gutter support body 102 slidably connected to a mounting rod 101, and the gutter support body 102 and the mounting rod 1 above the rain gutter support 100.
A lock lever 103 for pressing and fixing 01 is rotated in the vertical direction.

Further, a shaft hole 111 is formed in front of the mounting rod 101, and the shaft hole 1 is formed in the gutter support body 102.
A long hole 112 that overlaps 11 is opened in the longitudinal direction.

Further, the seat 1 which does not penetrate the elongated hole 112.
04 is provided at the lower end, and the shaft 105 having the lower end fixed to the receiving seat 104 is attached to the slot 11 of the gutter support body 102 from below.
2 and the shaft hole 111 of the mounting rod 101,
At the upper end of 5, there is a lock lever 10 that rotates in the vertical direction.
One end of 3 is pivotally attached.

Then, as shown in FIG. 6, when the lock lever 103 is rotated in the vertical direction, the lock lever 1 is rotated.
The circular arc portion of the rotary board 103a of No. 03 is the mounting rod 10
By rotating in the vertical direction on the upper surface of 1, the shaft 10
5 is raised or lowered.

Therefore, if the lock lever 103 is rotated to one side and the shaft 105 is pulled down, the mounting rod 1
01 and the gutter support main body 102 can be slid in the range of the slot 112 without pressure contact.

After adjusting the length of the gutter support body 102, when the lock lever 103 is rotated toward the other side, the shaft 105 is pulled up and the shaft 10 is rotated.
The receiving seat 104 at the lower end of 5 is also pulled up.

Since the seat 104 does not pass through the elongated hole 112, it is joined to the gutter support body 102 and lifted upward.

Therefore, the gutter support tool body 102 is fixed to the mounting rod 101 by press contact, and its slide can be regulated.

The operation of the rain gutter support A constructed as described above will be described below. FIG. 5 is an operation explanatory view of the rain gutter support according to the present invention.

FIG. 5 (a) is a partial side view of the lock lever in the unlocked position, FIG. 5 (b) is a partial explanatory view showing slide adjustment of the gutter support body, and FIG. 5 (c) is a lock. It is a partial side view in the lock position of a lever.

To describe the operation of the present invention, the mounting rod 1 and the gutter support body 2 slidably coupled to each other by the shaft portion 5 move the lock lever 3 from the unlocked position to the locked position in the vertical direction. When it is rotated, the arcuate portion 32a of the rotary substrate 32 of the lock lever 3 comes into contact with the lower surface of the receiving plate 4,
In order to lift the receiving plate 4, the claw portion 41 on the upper surface of the receiving plate 4
, Bites into the saw blade-shaped lower surface portion 21a of the gutter support body 2, presses and fixes the gutter support body 2 to the mounting rod 1 at that position, and fixes the gutter support body 2 so that it cannot slide. 5 (c) ".

On the other hand, when the lock lever 3 is longitudinally rotated from the locked position to the unlocked position, the lifting of the receiving plate 4 by the lock lever 3 is released. for that reason,
The bite into the saw blade-shaped lower surface portion 21a of the gutter support body 2 is also released, and the gutter support body 2 becomes slidable with the mounting rod 1 again (see FIG. 5A). Therefore,
In this state, the position of the gutter support main body 2 with respect to the mounting rod 1 can be adjusted [see FIG. 5 (b)]. Hereinafter, the construction procedure of the rain gutter support A according to the present invention will be described in detail. The mounting rod 1 is fixed to the eaves and the like with screws, nails and the like.

Next, the lock lever 3 is rotated from below the rain gutter support A in the vertical direction to the unlocked state (see FIG. 5 (a)).

In this unlocked state, the gutter support tool body 2 has the claw portion 41 as shown in FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b).
Does not bite into the lower surface portion 21a of the gutter support tool body 2, the gutter support tool body 2 can be freely slid back and forth, and the gutter support tool body 2 can be positioned at a desired position as shown in FIG. )reference".

If a number (not shown), which is a guide for the slide position, is engraved on the lower surface portion 21a of the gutter support body 2 formed in a saw blade shape, another rain gutter support A can be obtained. The gutter support body (not shown) can also be easily and reliably positioned at the same position as the gutter support body 2.

Then, when the lock lever 3 is rotated in the vertical direction from below the rain gutter support A after the gutter support main body 2 is positioned at a desired position, the arc portion of the rotary substrate 32 of the lock lever 3 is rotated. 32a comes into contact with the lower surface of the receiving plate 4 and lifts the receiving plate 4, so that the claw portion 4 on the upper surface of the receiving plate 4
1 is a lower surface portion 21a of the gutter support body 2 formed in a saw-tooth shape.
It bites into, and the gutter support body 2 is pressed and fixed to the mounting rod 1 at that position, and the gutter support body 2 is fixed so that it cannot slide (see FIG. 5C).

The front and rear ends of the gutter T are hooked on the gutter support main body 2 which has been positioned and pressed and fixed in this way, to the front gutter hooking portion 22 and the rear gutter hooking portion 23, respectively. Finish the construction of rain gutter support A.

[0056]

The present invention has the following effects.

According to the rain gutter support according to the first aspect of the present invention, since the lock lever that rotates in the vertical direction is provided below the rain gutter support, even if there is no space above the rain gutter support, The lock lever can be operated to rotate vertically, and the rain gutter support can be easily positioned. Moreover, the lock
The lever part of the clever has a handle piece protruding outward.
So, holding this handle piece, you can easily rotate the lock lever.
It can be rotated and operated.

According to the rain gutter support according to the second aspect of the invention, the lock lever is vertically rotated by pivotally supporting the shaft part erected on the pair of support piece parts provided from the front both sides of the mounting rod. Can be done.

According to the rain gutter support according to the third aspect of the present invention, the claw portion of the receiving plate and the upper surface or the lower surface of the gutter support body formed in a saw-tooth shape are meshed with each other, thereby fixing the pressure contact. Can be strengthened.

According to the rain gutter support according to the fourth aspect, the claw portion formed in front of the mounting rod and the upper surface of the gutter support body formed in the shape of a saw blade are engaged with each other to make pressure contact therewith. It can be fixed firmly.
