Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an eaves gutter support device whose angle can be adjusted so that the eaves gutter can be attached to a predetermined position regardless of the inclination of the concealing plate with respect to the eaves. In the present specification, the term "eaves gutter support" is used to collectively refer to an eaves gutter hanging tool that suspends an eaves gutter and an eaves gutter receiver that supports an eaves gutter from below.

[Conventional technology]

In order to install eaves gutters under the eaves, it is necessary to adjust the projecting dimensions and angle of the eaves gutter support according to the slope of the roof, the slope of the hidden board under the eaves, etc. Among these, the angle can be adjusted by bending the eaves gutter support during installation, or by changing the angle at which the eaves gutter support is attached to the hidden board. However, such work requires time and effort to install eaves gutters. Furthermore, due to poor dimensional accuracy, it has been difficult to secure eaves gutters installed over a large number of eaves gutter supports at a predetermined position under the eaves.

Therefore, regarding Utility Model Publication No. 63-16740,
By adjusting the attachment position of the holding member to the projecting piece and the attachment position of the support piece attached to the holding member to the vertical piece, the inclination angle of the hidden board under the eaves can be offset, and the specified position under the eaves can be adjusted. The eaves gutter receiver bracket for placing the eaves gutter in position is shown.

Furthermore, Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 54-136623 proposes a gutter hanger equipped with a rotating mechanism shown in FIG. In this gutter hanger, a hanger main body 82 for suspending the eaves gutter 81 is provided with a locking portion 84 that fits into the edge 83 of the eaves gutter 81. A rotating piece 86 having a plurality of locking holes 85 formed along the circumferential direction is removably attached to the center of the suspender main body 82. This rotating piece 86 is connected to a hidden plate 87.
A fixing rod 8 extending from a fixing seat 88 attached to
It is attached to a fixing piece 90 formed at the tip of 9.

When the hidden plate 87 is in a vertical state, the suspender main body 82 is arranged in the same direction as the fixing rod 89 and maintained horizontally. Thereby, the eaves gutter 81 is kept in a horizontal state under the eaves. On the other hand, when attaching the eaves gutter 81 to the hidden plate 87 having an inclination angle θ with respect to the perpendicular line, the fixing rod 89 perpendicular to the hidden plate 87 is inclined at an angle θ with respect to the horizontal plane. Therefore, the rotary piece 86 is rotated by the angle of inclination θ with respect to the fixed piece 90 so as to offset the inclination of the fixed rod 89, and the rotary piece 86 is fixed at the rotated position with a locking pin 91. As a result, the hanger main body 82 and, by extension, the eaves gutter 81 are kept horizontal.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, the eaves gutter receiver proposed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-16740 requires work to screw the holding member to the projecting piece and work to attach the support member to the vertical piece. Moreover, these operations require coordination with each other in order to maintain the eave gutter in a horizontal state. Furthermore, in order to arrange the eaves gutter at a predetermined position under the eaves in the longitudinal direction, it is necessary to perform work between a plurality of eave gutter receiving fittings. As a result, the workability for installing the eaves gutter at a predetermined position is poor, and it still takes a lot of effort and time.

Also, in the gutter hanger disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application No. 54-136623, in order to keep the eaves gutter 81 horizontal, the locking pin 9 is
1 and fixing the rotating piece 86 to the fixed piece 90 with the thumb screw 92. Moreover, there is a rotation mechanism in the center of the eaves gutter 81, and the distance from the center of the eaves gutter 81 to the hidden plate 87 is large. Since the fixed piece 90 is only supported by the fixed rod 89 protruding from the fixed seat 88,
There are also problems in terms of strength. Furthermore, since there are many parts, the cost burden is high, and there are also defects such as parts being lost during handling.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, the present invention provides an eaves gutter support that basically eliminates or reduces the need for assembling parts together on site and allows eaves gutter to be mounted horizontally and with sufficient strength even on an inclined hidden board. The purpose is to

A pair of protrusions 7a and 7b are integrally formed on the suspender main body 3 on the side of the fixed seat 1. As shown in FIG. 3a, a large number of engagement grooves 8a, 8b are carved on the peripheral surfaces of these protrusions 7a, 7b. In addition, in the center of each protrusion 7a, 7b,
Holes 10a and 10b are bored through the shaft 9 to connect the hanger main body 3 to the fixed seat 1.

As shown in FIG. 3b, the fixed seat 1 has openings 11a and 11b into which the protrusions 7a and 7b of the suspension main body 3 are fitted. A protrusion 12 is integrally provided between the openings 11a and 11b. Further, the convex portion 12 is provided with a hole 13 through which the shaft 9 described above is inserted. The convex portion 12 is designed to have a thickness equal to the distance between the protrusions 7a and 7b, and a height from the back surface of the fixed seat 1 to be approximately equal to the protrusion height of the protrusions 7a and 7b. As a result, the convex portion 12 becomes the protruding portions 7a, 7b
When the shaft 9 is inserted through the holes 10a, 10b, 13, the protrusions 7a, 7b
are fitted into the openings 11a and 11b, and the protrusion 7
The end side surfaces of a and 7b reach near the back surface of the fixed seat 1.

The fixed seat 1, the suspension main body 3, the locking tool 14, etc. described above are handled as an integrally assembled product during the process from factory shipment to use on site. Alternatively, even when assembling on site, the protrusions 12 are fitted into the protrusions 7a and 7b,
The shaft 9 is a semi-finished product that can be inserted into the holes 10a, 10b, and 13.

Next, a description will be given of the operation of attaching an eaves gutter to an inclined hidden board using this eaves gutter support.

It is assumed that the hidden board 20 under the eaves is inclined at an inclination angle θ with respect to a perpendicular line, as shown in FIG. Therefore, when the fixed seat 1 is not attached to the hidden plate 20, by relatively rotating the protruding parts 7a, 7b and the convex part 12 so as to cancel out this inclination angle θ, the suspension main body relative to the fixed seat 1 is Adjust the angle in step 3 to (90 degrees - θ).

At this time, since both ends of the locking tool 14 are in a free state, the locking protrusions 17a and 17b are
Both ends of the locking tool 14 are elastically deformed to the back side of the fixed seat 1, and go over the peaks of the engagement grooves 8a and 8b. Then, the angle between the fixed seat 1 and the suspension main body 3 is (90
degree -θ), the relative rotation between the protrusions 7a and 7b and the fixed seat 1 is stopped. In order to easily carry out this rotation work, it is preferable to inscribe scales indicating the rotation angle on the sides of the protrusions 7a and 7b.

After the angle adjustment is completed, the fixed seat 1 is fixed to the hidden plate 20 with fixing tools 22 such as bolts, screws, needles, etc. through the fixing holes 21 provided on the fixed seat 1 and the side. At this time, the bent portion 18 of the locking tool 14 is also connected to the hidden plate 20.
inserted into. Then, the flat part of the locking tool 14 is pressed against the surface of the hidden plate 20. In this state, the locking tool 14 does not undergo elastic deformation.
Therefore, the locking protrusions 17a, 17b that have bitten into the valleys of the engaging grooves 8a, 8b are
It is located in a specific trough that maintains an angle of (90 degrees - θ) between the fixed seat 1 and the hanging tool main body 3 without going over the peaks of points a and 8b.

In this way, the hanger main body 3 is arranged at an angle of (90 degrees - θ) with respect to the fixed seat 1 to which the hidden plate 20 having the inclination angle θ is fixed. As a result, the suspender main body 3 is maintained in a horizontal state.

FIG. 5 is a plan view showing the angle adjustment mechanism between the fixed seat and the protrusion of the eaves gutter support in the second embodiment. Note that the eaves gutter support portion of the hanger main body in this embodiment has the same shape as in the first embodiment, so illustration thereof is omitted.

Projection portion 51 of the hanging device main body 50 in this embodiment
A pair of clamping parts 53a protruding from the fixed seat 52,
53b. As shown in FIG. 6a, a mounting hole 54 extending in the axial direction is bored in the protrusion 51 of the hanging device main body 50.
An engagement groove 55 is formed on the inner circumferential surface of. Also,
On the opposite side of the protruding part 51, there is provided an ear edge support part 56 that supports the inner edge of the eave gutter (not shown), and a pressing surface 57 that abuts the side surface of the eaves gutter below the ear edge support part 56.

Clamping parts 53a and 53b protruding from the fixed seat 52
As shown in FIG. 6b, one of the holding portions 53a is provided with a mounting hole 59 in which an engagement groove 58 is formed. This engagement groove 58 is connected to the protrusion 51
It has the same shape as the engagement groove 55 of the mounting hole 54 provided in the. Attachment hole 60 provided in the other holding part 53b
is formed of a substantially circumferential inner wall surface. Note that the mounting hole 60 also has a shaft 6 therein.
Unless the locking protrusion 64 of 1 is inserted, the mounting hole 5
It may be formed into the same shape as the engagement groove 55 of No. 4.

The protruding part 51 of the suspender main body 50 is inserted between these clamping parts 53a and 53b, and the mounting hole 59, the mounting hole 54, and the mounting hole 60 are aligned. Then, the shaft 61 is inserted through these holes 59, 54, and 60. This shaft 61 is the sixth
As shown in Figure c, a flange 62 is formed on one side, and a thread 63 for mounting a nut is carved on the other side. Furthermore, a locking protrusion 64 extending in the axial direction is provided on the circumferential surface of the central portion of the shaft 61 in a protruding manner.

As shown in FIG. 5, the locking protrusion 64 is formed at a position where the end on the flange 62 side engages with the engagement groove 58 of the mounting hole 59 provided in the clamping portion 53a and the shaft 61 This is the location where the engaged state is released when the head 67 is pressed. On the other hand, when the head 67 is pressed, the end of the locking protrusion 64 on the screw thread 63 side engages the clamping portion 53b.
The position is such that it does not reach the inner surface of the body.

As shown in FIG.
It is inserted into the clamping part 53a, the protruding part 51, and the clamping part 53b in this order from the side a: the mounting hole 59, the mounting hole 54, and the mounting hole 60. At this time, a spring 65 is interposed between the flange 62 and the holding portion 53a. Then, a nut 66 is screwed into the screw thread 63 protruding from the holding portion 53b.

If the shaft 61 remains inserted, the flange 6
An upward force is applied to the shaft 61 in FIG. 5 due to the elastic force of the spring 65 inserted between the holding portion 53a and the holding portion 53a. At this time, the nut 66 hits the outer surface of the holding portion 53, and the shaft 61 is prevented from falling off.

In this state, the locking protrusion 64 provided on the peripheral surface of the shaft 61 is engaged with the engagement groove 55 of the mounting hole 54 and the engagement groove 58 of the mounting hole 59, as shown in FIG. Therefore, the protrusion 5 is formed on the fixed seat 52.
1 is connected, and the fixed seat 52 and the suspension main body 5
The angle between 0 and 0 remains constant.

When changing the angle between the fixed seat 52 and the suspension main body 50, first apply a pressing force P (see FIG. 5) to the head 67 of the shaft 61, and then move the shaft 61 against the elastic force of the spring 65. Push it in the direction of the mounting hole 54. As a result, the locking protrusion 64 is released from engagement with the engagement groove 58 of the mounting hole 59 and is in a state of engagement only with the engagement groove 55 of the mounting hole 54, and the locking protrusion 64 is released from engagement with the engagement groove 58 of the mounting hole 59. There is no mechanical connection between them. Therefore, the angle of the hanger main body 50 with respect to the fixed seat 52 is adjusted by rotating the protrusion 51 and the fixed seat 52 relatively. Then, when the pressing force P is released after setting the angle of the hanging tool main body 50 with respect to the fixed seat 52 to (90 degrees - θ) so as to offset the inclination hidden θ of the hidden plate, the elastic force of the spring 65 The shaft 61 returns to the position shown in FIG. As a result, the locking protrusion 64 on the flange 62 side
meshes with another engagement groove 58 of the mounting hole 59,
(90 degrees - θ) to fix the positional relationship between the hanging tool main body 50 and the fixed seat 52.

Unlike the case of the first embodiment described above, this angle adjustment is performed even after the fixed seat 52 is attached to the hidden plate. Therefore, installation of eaves gutter supports that correspond to the shape and positional relationship of eaves, hidden boards, etc. can be performed with higher workability. In this case as well, when marking an index to support the inclination angle on the side surfaces of the holding portions 53a, 53b or the end surface of the shaft 61,
Angle adjustment across multiple eaves gutter supports is facilitated.

In the above example, the case where the present invention is applied to a type of eaves gutter supporter for hanging an eaves gutter has been described.
However, the present invention is not limited to this, and is similarly applicable to, for example, a support of a type that supports eaves gutters from below. In this case, the inner surface of the support body is shaped to correspond to the lower outer surface of the eaves gutter, and the eaves gutter is fixed to the support body by bending both ends of the support body into the inside of the eaves gutter. do.

In addition to steel products with excellent strength, materials with good corrosion resistance such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, and synthetic resin are used for the suspension main body and the fixed seat. For example, when injection molding synthetic resin into the shape of a hanging device body, fixed seat, etc., metal fibers, carbon fibers,
By casting ceramic fibers etc., products with excellent strength can be obtained.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, in the present invention, by providing a mechanism for adjusting the angle between the suspension main body and the fixed seat, it is basically unnecessary to assemble the parts on site, and it is easy to operate. The angle of the hanger main body with respect to the fixed seat is adjustable so as to offset the inclination angle of the hidden plate. Therefore, the task of attaching the eaves gutter to a predetermined position is extremely simple even for houses of various different designs. Furthermore, since there is no need for screwing or the like to fix the parts to each other during installation, work efficiency is improved and there is no risk of parts being lost during transportation, handling, etc.
