Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a trough snow avoiding member that removes snow or ice accumulated on a roof and fallen leaves without putting them in a trough.

[Prior art]

[0002] Conventionally, various snow avoiding structures of eaves gutters have been proposed in which snow accumulated on a roof does not get stuck in the gutters. As shown in FIG. 7, a snow avoiding member 22 is installed in a gutter 21 provided on the eaves side of the roof 20. The snow avoiding member 22 has mounting brackets 23 provided at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the gutter, and a perforated plate 24 extending in the longitudinal direction is fixed to the mounting bracket 23 with bolts or the like.

The mounting bracket 23 is substantially square-shaped and is formed so that the upper portion on the roof 20 side is higher, and the upper portion of the mounting bracket 23 is formed along the inclined surface of the roof 20. . Further, the perforated plate 24 has an upper surface 25 formed along the inclined surface of the roof 20, and water passage holes 26 are formed at predetermined intervals. The roof-side end of the perforated plate 24 is bent upward from the upper surface 25 and then downward again to form a drainer 26.

Therefore, even if snow is accumulated on the roof 20 and slides down to the gutter 21 on the eaves side, the upper surface 25 of the perforated plate 24 allows the snow to fall downward without putting the snow into the gutter 21. .

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, the conventional snow avoiding structure has the following problems. Since the perforated plate provided on the mounting bracket of the gutter has a flat surface that contacts the snow, the contact area with the snow was large and snow could not be smoothly snowfall.

Since the mounting bracket is formed in a square shape, the lower side of the mounting bracket is configured to block the flow path of the gutter, and in the winter, etc., it caused an ice barrier when water was accumulated in the gutter. . Since the perforated plate has a space on the side far from the roof and on the side wall of the gutter, snow entered the space and became ice over time, providing a barrier against snow.

[0007] In the gutter, not only snow but also fallen leaves enter the drainage depending on the season, and a member that does not allow the fallen leaves to enter the gutter along with snow has been desired.

The present invention was made in view of the above problems, and smoothly removes snow accumulated on the roof without putting it in the gutter, does not obstruct the flow path of the gutter, and is not used. To provide a gutter snow avoiding member that enables removal of fallen leaves without creating a barrier to avoid snow even after a lapse of time, and that provides a guideline for cleaning even if fallen leaves enter the gutter. With the goal.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention comprises a mounting member installed at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction of a roof gutter and a snow avoiding part to be mounted on the mounting member. It consists of a mating member and an edge plate provided at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction of the engaging member and with the plate thickness surface in the vertical direction. The edge plate has an upper end portion which is a sloped surface of the roof. The mounting member is provided as a trough snow avoiding member having locking portions that engage with rising portions at both ends of the trough and holding portions that hold the engaging members of the snow avoiding portion.

Further, the edge plates may be formed in a mesh shape by intersecting each other, or the upper end surface of the edge plate may be curved. Further, it is convenient to install a water splash prevention plate at the roof side end of the edge plate in the height direction of the edge plate.

Further, the engaging portion of the attachment member may be configured to include a guide portion extending downward from a rising portion of the gutter, and at least one of the engaging member and the water splash prevention plate may be provided in a longitudinal direction. Conveniently, the notch holes are provided at predetermined intervals along with, and the holding portion of the mounting member is configured to engage with at least one notch hole of the engaging member and the water splash prevention plate.

[0012]

[Action]

 The above configuration has the following actions. Since the contact area of the edge plate that comes into contact with snow or ice is small and makes line contact, the snow or ice slides smoothly and falls under the eaves. Furthermore, even if the leaves of the tree fall on the gutter side, they can be dropped along the edge plate without entering the gutter.

In an area where there are many types of coniferous tree leaves, the edge plates are crossed to form a mesh shape, which makes it difficult for deciduous leaves to enter. In addition, when the deciduous leaves of the coniferous trees enter through the mesh-shaped edge plate, the deciduous leaves of the coniferous trees are in the vertical direction, and therefore the degree of clogging of the deciduous leaves in the gutter can be determined from the ground side.

By curving the upper end side of the edge plate, slipping of snow, ice, or fallen leaves can be made smoother. By installing a water splash prevention plate in the height direction at the edge of the edge plate on the roof side, it is possible to prevent splashes of raindrops that melt and fall in the gutter and splashes of rainwater.

Since the engaging portion of the mounting member includes the guide portion extending downward along the inner surface from the compatible upper portion of the gutter, even if the edge plate supports the weight of snow or ice, the gutter can be partially supported. There is no burden on any position.

At least one of an engagement member provided at a lower portion of the edge plate or a water splash prevention plate provided at a roof side end portion of the edge plate has cutout holes formed at predetermined intervals in a longitudinal direction, Since at least one of the holding portions of the attachment member is engaged, the engagement of the attachment member and the snow avoiding portion in the direction in which the snow slides down becomes firm. Moreover, there is no deviation in the longitudinal direction.

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a main part of the snow avoiding member, FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the snow avoiding member attached, and FIG. 3 is a side view of the snow avoiding member in use.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the snow avoiding member 1 is installed in a gutter 10 which is attached to the eaves side 13 and the like on the end side of the roof 12 by means of attachment fittings 11 and the like. The snow avoiding member 1 is composed of a snow avoiding portion 6 and a mounting member 5. The snow avoiding portion 6 is composed of a trapezoidal edge plate 2 and rod-shaped engaging members 3 provided at the lower end of the edge plate 2.

The edge plate 2 is arranged such that the plate thickness surface thereof is in the vertical direction, the base end 2b on the roof 12 side is formed higher than the other end 2c, and the upper end 2a has an inclination angle of the roof 12. It is formed along with. Further, as shown in FIG. 1, it is desirable that the mounting interval a of the edge plate 2 is a space that does not fall from between the edge plates 2 when snow is placed on the edge plate 2. The material of the edge plate 2 may be metal or synthetic resin. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, it is convenient to provide a water splash prevention plate 4 on the base end portion 2b of the edge plate 2 along the height direction of the base end portion 2b.

As shown in FIG. 1, the mounting member 5 that engages the engaging members 3 and 3 has locking portions 5a and 5b formed at both ends of the horizontal portion 5f, and protrudes upward from the horizontal portion 5f. The holding parts 5c and 5d for mounting the provided engaging members 3 and 3 are provided, and the guide parts 5g formed along the inner surface of the gutter 10 extend downward from the locking parts 5a and 5b. It has 5h. In the drawing, the support portion 5e is provided to extend vertically from the horizontal portion 5f, but the support portion 5e may be omitted.

The locking portions 5a and 5b are formed in conformity with the shapes of the rising portions 10a and 10b at both ends of the gutter 10, and a part of an annular shape is cut out so that the rising portions 10a and 10b are fitted. It has a structure. Further, the holding portions 5c and 5b are configured to hold the engaging members 3 and 3 respectively by the left and right claw portions protruding from the horizontal portion 5f.

The engaging members 3, 3 may be provided with cutout holes at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction, and the holding portions 5c, 5b may be fitted into the cutout holes. When the engaging members 3 and 3 are provided with the notch holes, the displacement in the longitudinal direction can be prevented and the edge plate 2 can be fixed steadily.

Therefore, when the gutter 10 is provided with the snow-preventing member 1, as shown in FIG. 3, when snow is piled up on the roof 12 of the building, a part of the snowfall slides along the roof inclined by the weight. It descends to the 10 side. At that time, since the gutter 10 is provided with the edge plates 2 at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction and over the entire width, the snow mass that has slid comes into line contact with the upper surface 2a of the edge plate 2 and the glide 10 slides. Then falls down.

It should be noted that the edge plate 2 has a configuration in which even if a leaf of a tree other than snow falls, the fallen leaf does not easily enter the gutter 10. That is, when the deciduous leaves are broad-leaved trees, the adjacent edge plates 2, 2, ... Make line contact with the deciduous leaves, so that the deciduous leaves can be easily dropped onto the ground.

Further, the fallen leaves (the conifers and the like are easy to enter) that have entered the trough 10 from between the edge plates 2 are made to flow along the flow path 10c of the gutter 10 by rain or the like, and discharged from the discharge port of the gutter 10. To be done. When the fallen leaves flow through the flow channel 10c, and when there is the support portion 5e, the support portions 5e are installed at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction of the gutter 10, but the fallen leaves flowing through the flow passage 10c are Since it is difficult to balance and stop by contacting 5e, the fallen leaves do not accumulate.

Then, as shown by the phantom line in FIG. 2, if the supporting portion 5e of the mounting member 5 is curved and formed in an arc shape and is supported at a position higher than the bottom portion of the gutter 10, the supporting portion 5e Even if there is a fallen leaf in the flow channel 10c of the gutter 10, it can flow through the flow channel 10c smoothly.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, the edge plates 15 may be formed in a mesh shape by intersecting each other at a predetermined angle. An engaging member 33 is provided on the lower end side of the edge plate 15. Of course, in the edge plate 15, the eave-side base end portion 15b is formed higher than the other end portion 15c, and the upper end portion 15a is formed along the slope of the roof.

Therefore, even if a mass of snow accumulated on the roof falls along the roof, the upper end portion 15a of the edge plate 15 makes a line contact with the mass of snow and the snow plate smoothly moves downward. The mass can be dropped. In addition, since the edge plate 15 is also on the gutter for the fallen leaves, it becomes difficult for the fallen leaves to enter the gutter.

When the deciduous leaves are coniferous trees such as cedar and pine, they easily enter the gutter from between the edge plates 15, but those that enter the gutter are washed away by the gutter. In addition, depending on how the fallen leaves fall, they may accumulate in a vertically supported state on the mesh edge plate 15. If fallen leaves of coniferous trees accumulate on the edge plate 15, they will protrude from the edge plate 15. Therefore, if you look at the gutter from the ground side, you can see how much fallen leaves have accumulated on the edge plate 15, and it is a standard for cleaning. Becomes

Further, the mounting member may be configured as shown in FIG. That is, the mounting member 17 is formed in a substantially T-shape, and has locking portions 17b and 17c that engage with the rising portions 10a and 10b at both ends of the gutter 10 at both ends of the horizontal portion 17a. Holding claws 17d and 17e are formed near the portions 17b and 17c so as to rise upward from the horizontal portion 17a, and a support portion 17f that extends vertically downward from the central position of the horizontal portion 17a is provided.

As shown in FIG. 5, the holding claws 17e engage with the cutouts 4a formed at predetermined intervals in the water splash prevention plate 4 attached to the base end 2b (15b) of the edge plate 2 (15). It is formed at a predetermined height so as to fit together. The holding claws 17d are configured to engage with the notch holes 3a formed at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the engaging member 3. Further, the holding claw 17e is configured to be detachable from the mounting member 17 by removing the engagement from the notch 4a of the water splash prevention plate 4.

As shown by the phantom line in FIG. 5, if the support portion 17f is provided in the lower portion of the horizontal portion 17a so as to have a V-shape, the bottom portion of the gutter 10 will not be obstructed. Since there is no object, the flow in the gutter 10 can be made smoother, and the supporting portions are left and right, so that the supporting balance is further improved. When the support portion is formed in a V-shape, the support portion having the H-shape can be appropriately supported on the inner surface of the gutter 10 by giving an elastic force so that the support portion spreads outward.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the edge plate 18 is preferably configured such that the upper end portion 18 a is formed by a smooth curved line and is configured along the inclination angle of the roof to which the edge plate 18 is attached. The engaging members 19, 19 provided on the lower end side of the edge member may have a cylindrical shape. Further, the edge plate 18 may have a structure in which the base end portion 18b is provided with the water splash prevention plate 4. Of course, even in the configuration of the edge plate 15 shown in FIG. 4, the upper surface 15a may be formed to have a smooth curve.

It is needless to say that in the case where the structure of the gutter is a square, the engaging portion and the guide portion of the mounting member are configured in accordance with the shape of the gutter. Also, depending on the gutter, the rising part on the far side from the roof is formed higher than the rising part on the roof side.In that case, the mounting member is attached according to the shape of the rising part. As described above, the one locking portion side of the mounting member is formed to be at a high position. Further, the mounting member may be fixed to the trough with an adhesive or the like regardless of the shape of the trough.

[Effect of device]

 Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following excellent effects. Since the edge plate is used for the snow avoiding part provided in the gutter, the part that touches the snow mass becomes a line contact, and it is possible to smoothly drop the snow mass under the eaves, and to prevent the snow jam of the gutter. It becomes possible to prevent it. In addition, it is possible to properly drop the leaves even under the eaves.

By forming the edge plate into a mesh shape by inclining it at a predetermined angle, it is possible to smoothly drop snow clumps under the eaves and appropriately respond to fallen leaves, and particularly effective for coniferous trees. Can handle. Furthermore, when the fallen leaves of the coniferous trees are accumulated on the edge board, they are visible from the ground side because they protrude from the edge board, and the time when the edge board needs to be cleaned can be determined.

Since the upper edge of the edge plate is curved and is formed along the inclination angle of the roof, the snow mass accumulated on the roof can be dropped more smoothly under the eaves, which may cause a snow jam in the gutter. There is no. In addition, it is possible to prevent damage to the gutter due to snow clogging in the gutter.

Since the water splash prevention plate is provided at the base end of the edge plate on the roof side, raindrops or raindrops do not bounce back to the eaves side, and the eaves side members are not corroded or leaked. Can be prevented.

Since the mounting member is composed of a locking portion and a guide portion that engage with the rising portion of the gutter, and a holding member that holds the mounting member provided on the lower side of the edge plate, the mounting member does not interfere with the gutter. There is nothing harmful, and snow and fallen leaves that enter the gutter can flow smoothly.

Since at least one of the engaging portion and the water splash prevention plate is provided with a notch hole and the holding portion is engaged with the notch hole, the snow avoiding member is displaced when snow falls, It does not come off. Therefore, maintenance is not troublesome. The snow avoiding member can be easily cleaned by having the mounting member and the snow avoiding portion detachably provided.
