DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] Hereinafter, a marking jig according to one embodiment of the present invention and a method of marking a gutter using the marking jig will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a gutter G according to an embodiment. FIG. 2 is a view of the gutter G according to the embodiment as viewed along the longitudinal direction. The gutter G according to this embodiment is, for example, a rain gutter such as an eaves gutter. As shown in Fig. 1, the gutter G is an elongated member. As shown in Fig. 2, the gutter G has a U-shaped cross section along the longitudinal direction. In this embodiment, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the portion of the gutter G, which has a U-shaped cross section, facing the U-shaped opening A is referred to as the bottom surface G1. The portion of the gutter G, which has a U-shaped cross section, which is connected to both ends of the bottom surface G1 in the width direction and extends toward the opening A is referred to as the side surface G2. In this embodiment, the length extending toward the opening A is different between one side surface G2 and the other side surface G2. This makes it easier to receive rainwater from the short side of the side surface G2 when the gutter G is attached to a building, for example, and makes it difficult for rainwater to overflow from the long side of the side surface G2. Alternatively, without being limited thereto, the length extending toward the opening A of the gutter G may be the same between one side surface G2 and the other side surface G2.

[0015] (marking jig) The marking jig 1 according to this embodiment is used for marking the center in the width direction of the gutter G. In this embodiment, the center in the width direction of the gutter G particularly refers to the center in the width direction of the bottom surface G1. In other words, the marking jig 1 is used for marking the center in the width direction of the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G. The marking jig 1 is used to mark the center of the width direction of the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G, thereby determining the center point for drilling a hole in the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G. A drainage member for moving water accumulated in the gutter G, which is, for example, an eaves gutter, to a vertical gutter is attached to the hole drilled in the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G in this way. FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a first example of the marking jig 1 according to the embodiment. The marking jig 1 includes a main body portion 10, a first alignment portion 20, and a second alignment portion 30, as shown in FIG.

[0016] (Main body) The main body 10 is, for example, a plate-shaped member. The length of the main body 10 is at least longer than the width of the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G on which marking is to be performed. The width of the main body 10 is preferably such that an operator handling the marking jig 1 can grasp the main body 10 with one hand. That is, the width of the main body 10 is preferably, for example, about 30 to 50 mm. The main body 10 may be formed of any material including metal and resin. The main body 10 has a hole 11 at the center in the longitudinal direction. More specifically, the hole 11 is provided at the center between the first alignment portion 20 and the second alignment portion 30 provided on the main body 10. The hole 11 is a through hole formed in the main body 10. The hole 11 is preferably circular, for example. The hole 11 is used, for example, to mark the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G while passing the tip of an oil-based pen or the like through the hole 11 in a state in which the main body 10 is appropriately aligned with the gutter G. For this reason, the size of the hole 11 is preferably set to a size that does not cause the position of the tip of the oil-based pen or the like to be shifted. That is, the size of the hole 11 is preferably, for example, about 3 to 5 mm in diameter.

[0017] (Alignment part) The first alignment portion 20 is provided at one end of the main body portion 10 . The second alignment portion 30 is provided at the other end of the main body portion 10 . The first alignment portion 20 and the second alignment portion 30 are provided as a pair having the same configuration. The distance between the first alignment portion 20 and the second alignment portion 30 is at least longer than the width of the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G that is the target for marking. In this embodiment, when there is no need to distinguish between the first alignment unit 20 and the second alignment unit 30, they are referred to as alignment units. The alignment portion is used to align the main body portion 10 with respect to the gutter G when marking the gutter G using the marking jig 1. In this embodiment, the alignment unit may be one of the following three examples: The three examples of the alignment unit will be described in detail below.

[0018] (First example of alignment part) FIG. 4 is a front view of a first example of the marking jig 1 according to the embodiment. In the alignment portion according to the first example, the first alignment portion 20 and the second alignment portion 30 are rod-shaped members that are perpendicular to the main body portion 10, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4. More specifically, the alignment portion according to the first example is formed such that rod-shaped members extend from both ends of the main body portion 10 along the plate thickness direction of the main body portion 10. At this time, the length by which the rod-shaped members extend from the main body portion 10 is the same for the first alignment portion 20 and the second alignment portion 30. In addition, it is preferable that the cross-sectional shape of the first alignment portion 20 and the second alignment portion 30 is, for example, circular. This makes it easier to accurately mark the center position of the gutter G in the width direction regardless of the width of the gutter G. The alignment portion according to the first example is provided, for example, by being inserted into holes formed at both ends of the main body portion 10 in the longitudinal direction. Alternatively, the alignment portion according to the first example may be provided on the surface of the main body portion 10 by bonding or welding, or the like. Alternatively, the alignment portion according to the first example may be formed integrally with the main body portion 10 by injection molding using a resin, or the like. Furthermore, the alignment portion according to the first example may be formed of any material including metal and resin.

[0019] The alignment portion according to the first example is provided on both sides in the plate thickness direction of the main body 10, for example, as shown in Figures 3 and 4. In this case, marking can be performed regardless of which surface in the plate thickness direction of the main body 10 is arranged to face the gutter G. Alternatively, of the alignment portions, the alignment portion extending on the side not facing the gutter G can be used as a handle.

[0020] FIG. 5 shows a first modified example of the marking jig 1 according to the first example. The alignment portion according to the first example may be provided only on one side in the plate thickness direction of the main body 10, as shown in Fig. 5. In this case, the overall size of the marking jig 1 can be reduced.

[0021] FIG. 6 shows a second modified example of the marking jig 1 according to the first example. 6, the alignment portion according to the first example may be such that only the first alignment portion 20 is provided on both sides of the body portion 10 in the plate thickness direction, and the second alignment portion 30 is provided only on one side of the body portion 10 in the plate thickness direction. In this case, of the alignment portions, the alignment portion extending on the side not facing the gutter G can be used as a handle.

[0022] FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the marking jig 1 according to the first example in a state aligned with the gutter G. As shown in FIG. FIG. 8 is a view showing the state in which the marking jig 1 according to the first example is aligned with the gutter G, as viewed from the longitudinal direction of the gutter G. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing a state in which the marking jig 1 is placed in two types of gutters G having different sizes. Alignment of the gutter G and the marking jig 1 using the alignment unit according to the first example is performed as follows. That is, as shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, with the main body 10 placed on the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G, the tips of the first alignment unit 20 and the second alignment unit 30 are abutted against the side surface G2 of the gutter G, respectively. This positions the hole 11 of the main body 10 at the center in the width direction of the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G. In this state, by passing the tip of a pen such as an oil-based pen through the hole 11 and marking the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G, it is possible to mark the center in the width direction of the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G. Such alignment can be performed without any problem even if the lengths of the side surfaces G2 of the gutter G are different from each other, for example, as shown in FIG. In addition, by using this method, for example, as shown in Fig. 9, a single marking jig 1 can be used to handle a plurality of types of gutters G having different widthwise dimensions. This also applies to the marking jigs 1 according to the second and third examples described below.

[0023] (Second example of alignment part) FIG. 10 is a perspective view of a second example of the marking jig 1 according to the embodiment. FIG. 11 is a front view of a second example of the marking jig 1 according to the embodiment. In the alignment portion according to the second example, the first alignment portion 20 and the second alignment portion 30 are boundaries between the main body portion 10 and the inclined portion 12, as shown in FIGS. The inclined portions 12 are formed so as to be connected to both ends of the main body portion 10 in the longitudinal direction. The inclined portions 12 are inclined with respect to the main body portion 10. The inclined portions 12 are preferably formed integrally with the main body portion 10, for example, by bending the ends of the main body portion 10. In this way, it is preferable that the boundary between the main body portion 10 and the inclined portions 12 is, for example, a straight line perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the main body portion 10. FIG. 12 is a perspective view of the marking jig 1 according to the second example in a state aligned with the gutter G. FIG. 13 is a view showing a state in which the marking jig 1 according to the second example is aligned with the gutter G, as viewed from the longitudinal direction of the gutter G. The alignment between the gutter G and the marking jig 1 using the alignment part according to the second example is performed as follows. That is, as shown in Fig. 12 and Fig. 13, the first alignment part 20 and the second alignment part 30, which are the boundaries between the main body part 10 and the inclined part 12, are abutted against both ends in the width direction of the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G, i.e., the connecting part between the bottom surface G1 and the side surface G2 of the gutter G. As a result, the hole 11 of the main body part 10 is positioned at the center in the width direction of the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G. In this state, the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G is marked while passing the tip of a pen such as an oil-based pen through the hole 11, thereby making it possible to mark the center in the width direction of the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G.

[0024] (Third example of alignment part) FIG. 14 is a perspective view of a third example of the marking jig 1 according to the embodiment. In the alignment portion according to the third example, the first alignment portion 20 and the second alignment portion 30 are through holes as shown in Fig. 14. That is, in the marking jig 1 according to the third example, the main body portion 10 has through holes formed at both ends in the longitudinal direction. FIG. 15 is a diagram showing the state in which the marking jig 1 according to the second example is aligned with the gutter G, as viewed from the direction in which the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G faces. The alignment between the gutter G and the marking jig 1 using the alignment part according to the third example is performed as follows. That is, as shown in Fig. 15, the position of the main body part 10 is adjusted while visually checking both ends in the width direction of the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G through the first alignment part 20 and the second alignment part 30, which are through holes. In this way, the hole 11 of the main body part 10 is positioned at the center in the width direction of the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G. In this state, the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G is marked while passing the tip of a pen such as an oil-based pen through the hole 11, thereby making it possible to mark the center in the width direction of the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G.

[0025] In the marking jig 1, it is preferable that the alignment portion be appropriately selected from any of the above three examples. The marking jig 1 according to this embodiment is constituted by the above components.

[0026] (How to mark gutters) Next, a method for marking the gutter G using the marking jig 1 according to this embodiment will be described. The marking work according to this embodiment is carried out along the first to third steps described below. That is, first, in the first step, the marking jig 1 is placed on the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G. At this time, in order to make it easier to place the marking jig 1 on the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G, it is preferable to have the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G facing upward when performing the first step. Next, in the second step, the side surface G2 of the gutter G is aligned with the first alignment portion 20 and the second alignment portion 30. That is, using any of the alignment portions according to the three examples described above, the hole 11 of the main body portion 10 is positioned at the center in the width direction of the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G. Then, in a third step, marking is made on the bottom surface G1 of the gutter G through the hole 11. In the third step, for example, a pen such as an oil-based pen or a tool such as a marking needle may be used. Through each of the above steps, marking on the gutter G is completed.

[0027] As described above, the marking jig 1 according to this embodiment includes a main body 10, a first alignment portion 20 provided at one end of the main body 10 in the longitudinal direction, and a second alignment portion 30 provided at the other end of the main body 10 in the longitudinal direction. The main body 10 includes a hole 11 at the center in the longitudinal direction. As a result, for example, by aligning the positions of the first alignment portion 20 and the second alignment portion 30 with the side surface G2 of the gutter G, the position of the hole 11 provided at the center of the main body 10 can be aligned with the center in the width direction of the gutter G. Therefore, by providing a mark on the gutter G in accordance with the position of the hole 11 in this state, the center in the width direction of the gutter G can be easily and accurately marked.

[0028] Moreover, the first alignment portion 20 and the second alignment portion 30 are rod-shaped members that are perpendicular to the main body portion 10. As a result, for example, alignment between the gutter G and the first alignment portion 20 and the second alignment portion 30 can be performed by abutting the first alignment portion 20 and the second alignment portion 30, which are rod-shaped members, against the side surface G2 of the gutter G. Therefore, alignment between the gutter G and the first alignment portion 20 and the second alignment portion 30 can be easily performed.

[0029] Moreover, according to the method for marking the gutter G of this embodiment, the marking jig 1 according to the present invention is used to mark the gutter G. This makes it possible to mark the gutter G easily and accurately.

[0030] The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the marking jig 1 and the marking method according to the present embodiment are not limited to being used for the gutter G, and may be used for any long-sized member.

[0031] In addition, within the scope of the invention, the components in the above-described embodiments may be replaced with well-known components, and the above-described modified examples may be combined as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
