DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] Hereinafter, a hanging device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the embodiment, an example in which the hanging device is applied to an eaves gutter among rain gutters will be described, but it is also possible to apply the hanging device to a valley gutter instead of an eaves gutter. [First embodiment] As shown in Fig. 1, the eaves gutter structure 1 is a structure that includes, for example, an eaves gutter 10 arranged below the eaves edge 3 on the roof 2 of a building, and a hanger 20 that holds the eaves gutter 10 and installs it on the eaves edge 3. In the following description, the eaves edge 3 side of the eaves gutter 10 will be referred to as the front side, and the opposite side of the eaves edge 3 as the rear side.

[0010] The roof 2 is not particularly limited, but is a so-called folded roof in which an upper base 2a, an inclined wall 2b, a lower base 2c, and an inclined wall 2b are alternately arranged, and adjacent inclined walls 2b, 2b (one of which is not shown) sandwiching the lower base 2c are folded horizontally so that they form an approximately V-shape.

[0011] The eaves gutter 10 is disposed in the extension direction of the eaves edge 3 (depth direction of the paper) so that the longitudinal direction of the eaves gutter 10 forms a flow path for rainwater. The eaves gutter 10 comprises a bottom plate 11 extending horizontally in the longitudinal direction, a front side plate (side wall) 12 erected from the front end of the bottom plate 11 in the short direction, and a rear side plate (side wall) 13 erected from the rear end of the bottom plate 11. The front side plate 12 is provided with a front ear (one of a pair of ears) 15 that is hooked to the hanger 20. The rear side plate 13 is provided with a rear ear (the other of the pair of ears) 16 that is hooked to the hanger 20.

[0012] The suspension device 20 comprises a rod-shaped metal suspension bolt 21 having a male threaded portion 21a formed on its outer peripheral surface, a nut 22, a support member 25 supporting the eaves gutter 10, a reinforcing member 26 provided on the support member 25, a first spring plate (spring plate) 27 provided on the front side of the reinforcing member 26, and a second spring plate (spring plate) 28 provided on the rear side of the reinforcing member 26. The upper end 21H of the hanging bolt 21 is fixed to the upper bottom 2a of the roof 2 with a nut 22, and the support member 25 of the eaves gutter 10 is fixed to the lower end 21L with a nut 31. The support member 25 is disposed in a direction intersecting (orthogonal in the embodiment) the longitudinal direction of the eaves gutter 10 in a plan view.

[0013] 1 and 2, the support member 25 has a bulging portion 25a on a plate member having a width W1 formed in a rectangular shape, for example. The bulging portion 25a is formed continuously in the longitudinal direction at the center in the width direction to a width W2. The bulging portion 25a bulges outward from the eaves gutter 10. The rigidity of the support member 25 is increased by having the bulging portion 25a.

[0014] As shown in Figures 1, 3, and 4, the support member 25 has a support body 35, a first ear holding portion (one of a pair of ear holding portions) 36, and a second ear holding portion (the other of the pair of ear holding portions) 37. The support body 35 is disposed in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the eaves gutter 10 in a plan view, and in a horizontal direction within the internal space S of the eaves gutter 10. The support body 35 has a first long hole 38 formed along the longitudinal direction at the longitudinal center of the support body 35. A second long hole (not shown) formed in the reinforcing member 26 described later is disposed below the first long hole 38.

[0015] The lower end 21L of the hanging bolt 21 is inserted from above into the first elongated hole 38 of the support body 35 and the second elongated hole of the reinforcing member 26. The inserted lower end 21L is fastened from above and below the support body 35 and the reinforcing member 26 by a pair of nuts 31. As a result, the support body 35 and the reinforcing member 26 are fixed to the lower end 21L of the hanging bolt 21 by the pair of nuts 31.

[0016] A first ear holding portion 36 is provided at the front end (one of both ends) of the support body 35. The first ear holding portion 36 is bent upward at the front end so as to wrap around the front ear portion 15. Specifically, the first ear holding portion 36 has a first inner wall 41, a first apex 42, a first outer wall 43, and a first bottom 44. The first inner wall 41 is bent upward from the front end of the support body 18a. The first apex 42 is bent forward from the upper end of the first inner wall 41. The first outer wall 43 is bent downward from the front end of the first apex 42. The first bottom 44 is bent backward from the lower end of the first outer wall 43 (i.e., the first inner wall 41). The tip portion 44a of the first bottom 44 is disposed forward from a first rising portion 53 of the reinforcing member 26 described later with a first gap L1 therebetween.

[0017] The first ear holding portion 36 is folded so as to wrap around the front ear 15 from the outside by the first inner wall 41, the first top portion 42, the first outer wall 43, and the first bottom portion 44. The first ear holding portion 36 is placed on the first bottom portion 44 with the front ear 15 housed inside. In this way, the front ear 15 is supported by the first ear holding portion 36.

[0018] A second ear holding portion 37 is provided at the rear end (the other of the two ends) of the support body 35. The second ear holding portion 37 is bent upward at the rear end so as to wrap around the rear ear portion 16. Specifically, the second ear holding portion 37 has a second inner wall 45, a second apex 46, a second outer wall 47, a second bottom 48, and a second downward portion 49. The second inner wall 45 is bent upward from the rear end of the support body 18a. The second apex 46 is bent rearward from the upper end of the second inner wall 45. The second outer wall 47 is bent downward from the rear end of the second apex 46. The second bottom 48 is bent forward (i.e., the second inner wall 45) from the lower end of the second outer wall 47. The tip portion 48a of the second bottom 48 is disposed rearward from a second rising portion 55 of the reinforcing member 26 described later, with a second gap L2 therebetween. The second downward portion 49 is bent downward from the front end of the second bottom 48.

[0019] The second ear holding portion 37 is folded so as to wrap around the rear ear 16 from the outside by the second inner wall 45, the second top portion 46, the second outer wall 47, and the second bottom portion 48. The second ear holding portion 37 is placed on the second bottom portion 48 with the rear ear 16 housed inside, whereby the rear ear 16 is supported by the second ear holding portion 37.

[0020] The support member 25 is provided with a reinforcing member 26. The reinforcing member 26 is disposed along the longitudinal direction of the support body 35. The reinforcing member 26 is disposed along the back surface of the support member 25. The reinforcing member 26 is disposed on the side of the internal space S of the eaves gutter 10. The reinforcing member 26 is formed by bending a rectangular plate member. The reinforcing member 26 has the same width as the width W1 (see FIG. 2) of the support member 25. The reinforcing member 26 has, for example, a reinforcing body 52, a first rising portion 53, a first displacement suppressing portion (displacement suppressing portion) 54, a second rising portion 55, and a second displacement suppressing portion (displacement suppressing portion) 56. That is, the reinforcing member 26 includes the first displacement suppressing portion 54 and the second displacement suppressing portion 56.

[0021] The reinforcing body 52 is disposed along the back surface of the support body 35. The reinforcing body 52 is fixed to the back surface of the support body 35 by, for example, a pair of rivets 58. Therefore, the reinforcing member 26 can be easily processed into an integrated product with the support member 25. The rivets 58 may be provided on, for example, the surface (upper surface) of the support member 25. The rivets 58 may penetrate the support member 25 and the reinforcing member 26. The fixing means of the reinforcing member 26 to the support member 25 is not limited to the rivets 58. For example, the support member 25 and the reinforcing member 26 may be fixed by bolts, or may be fixed by means other than the rivets 58 or bolts. A second elongated hole (not shown) is formed in the center of the longitudinal direction of the reinforcing body 52. ​​The second elongated hole is disposed below the first elongated hole 38 formed in the supporting body 35. The lower end 21L of the hanging bolt 21 is inserted into the first elongated hole 38 and the second elongated hole. The lower end 21L is fastened by a pair of nuts 31 from above and below the supporting body 35 and the reinforcing member 26. As a result, the reinforcing body 52 is fixed to the lower end 21L together with the supporting body 35 by the pair of nuts 31.

[0022] The first raised portion 53 is bent upward from the front end of the reinforcing body 52 along the back surface of the first inner wall 41. The first raised portion 53 is connected to the back surface of the first inner wall 41. The first displacement suppression portion 54 is bent forward from the upper end of the first raised portion 53 along the back surface of the first peak 42. The first displacement suppression portion 54 is connected to the back surface of the first peak 42. In other words, the first raised portion 53 and the first displacement suppression portion 54 are provided inside the first ear holding portion 36. The first displacement suppression portion 54 is disposed on the inside of the eaves gutter 10, on the inside of the first ear holding portion 36. The tip portion 54a of the first displacement suppression portion 54 is located approximately in the center of the first apex 42 in the front-to-rear direction. The tip portion 54a of the first displacement suppression portion 54 is disposed rearward of the front ear portion 15 of the eaves gutter 10.

[0023] The second raised portion 55 is bent upward from the rear end of the reinforcing body 52 along the back surface of the second inner wall 45. The second raised portion 55 is connected to the back surface of the second inner wall 45. The second displacement suppression portion 56 is bent backward from the upper end of the second raised portion 55 along the back surface of the second apex 46. The second displacement suppression portion 56 is connected to the back surface of the second apex 46. In other words, the second raised portion 55 and the second displacement suppression portion 56 are provided inside the second ear holding portion 37. The second displacement suppression portion 56 is disposed on the inside of the eaves gutter 10, on the inside of the second ear holding portion 37. The tip portion 56a of the second displacement suppression portion 56 is located approximately in the center of the second apex 46 in the front-to-rear direction. The tip portion 56a of the second displacement suppression portion 56 is disposed forward of the rear ear portion 16 of the eaves gutter 10.

[0024] A first spring plate 27 is provided on the front side of the reinforcing member 26. The first spring plate 27 is formed of an elastically deformable spring plate. The first spring plate 27 has a first fixing portion 61 and a first bent piece 62. The first fixing portion 61 has a curved portion 63 and an extending portion 64. The curved portion 63 is disposed along the back surface of the reinforcing body 52 and the back surface of the first rising portion 53. The lower end 63a of the curved portion 63 is provided, for example, by a rivet 58 on the front end of the support body 35 and the front end of the reinforcing body 52. ​​The extending portion 64 is bent forward from the upper end of the curved portion 63. The first bent piece 62 is bent upward from the front end of the extending portion 64.

[0025] The extension portion 64 and the first bent piece 62 are arranged in the first gap L1 so as to face the front side plate 12 of the eaves gutter 10 from the first rising portion 53 (i.e., the inside of the eaves gutter 10). In the first embodiment, an example in which the extension portion 64 and the first bent piece 62 face the front side plate 12 of the eaves gutter 10 will be described, but the extension portion 64 and the first bent piece 62 may also face the front ear portion 15 of the eaves gutter 10.

[0026] When the front ear 15 of the eaves gutter 10 is accommodated inside the first ear holding portion 36 from the first gap L1, the first spring plate 27 elastically deforms the extension portion 64 to enable accommodation of the front ear 15. In addition, the first spring plate 27 prevents the front ear 15 accommodated inside the first ear holding portion 36 from coming out of the first ear holding portion 36 from the first gap L1 by the extension portion 64 and the first bent piece 62.

[0027] A second spring plate 28 is provided on the rear side of the reinforcing member 26. The second spring plate 28 is formed of an elastically deformable spring plate, similar to the first spring plate 27. The second spring plate 28 has a second fixing portion 66 and a second bent piece 67. For example, the front end 66a of the second fixing portion 66 is provided to the rear end of the support body 35 and the rear end of the reinforcing body 52 by a rivet 58. The second fixing portion 66 extends rearward from the front end 66a. The second bent piece 67 is bent upward from the rear end of the second fixing portion 66.

[0028] The second fixing portion 66 and the second bent piece 67 are arranged in the second gap L2 so as to face the rear side plate 13 of the eaves gutter 10 from the second rising portion 55 (i.e., the inside of the eaves gutter 10). In the first embodiment, an example in which the second fixing portion 66 and the second bent piece 67 face the rear side plate 13 of the eaves gutter 10 is described, but the second fixing portion 66 and the second bent piece 67 may face the rear ear portion 16 of the eaves gutter 10.

[0029] When the rear ear 16 of the eaves gutter 10 is accommodated inside the second ear holding portion 37 from the second gap L2, the second spring plate 28 elastically deforms the second fixing portion 66 to enable accommodation of the rear ear 16. In addition, the second spring plate 28 prevents the rear ear 16 accommodated inside the second ear holding portion 37 from coming out of the second ear holding portion 37 from the second gap L2 by the second fixing portion 66 and the second bent piece 67.

[0030] According to the sling 20 of the first embodiment described above, as shown in Figures 1, 3 and 4, the reinforcing member 26 is disposed along the longitudinal direction of the support body 35. Furthermore, the reinforcing member 26 is provided in the first ear holding portion 36 and the second ear holding portion 37. Therefore, the support body 35 is reinforced by the reinforcing member 26, and the first ear holding portion 36 and the second ear holding portion 37 can be reinforced by the reinforcing member 26. As a result, the reinforcing member 26 can prevent the support body 35, the first ear holding portion 36 and the second ear holding portion 37 from deforming due to a load applied to the support member 25. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the front ear 15 from coming off the first ear holding portion 36, and to prevent the rear ear 16 from coming off the second ear holding portion 37. As a result, it is possible to prevent the eaves gutter 10 from falling off the support member 25.

[0031] Further, the first displacement suppression portion 54 is disposed inside the first ear holding portion 36, inside the eaves gutter 10. Therefore, the first displacement suppression portion 54 can suppress the front ear 15 housed inside the first ear holding portion 36 from being displaced, for example, inside the first ear holding portion 36, toward the first gap L1 side. Furthermore, the second displacement suppression portion 56 is disposed inside the second ear holding portion 37 and inside the eaves gutter 10. Therefore, the second displacement suppression portion 56 can suppress the rear ear 16 housed inside the second ear holding portion 37 from being displaced, for example, inside the second ear holding portion 37 toward the second gap L2. This more effectively prevents the front ear 15 from coming off the first ear holding portion 36 due to the load applied to the eaves gutter 10 and the support member 25. Furthermore, it more effectively prevents the back ear 16 from coming off the second ear holding portion 37.

[0032] Here, the reinforcing member 26 can be fixed to the back surface of the supporting member 25 with a pair of rivets 58. This makes it possible to easily process the reinforcing member 26 into the supporting member 25 as an integrated product. In addition, this makes it possible to easily perform the construction of supporting the eaves gutter 10 on the hanging tool 20 at the construction site.

[0033] Furthermore, the extension portion 64 and the first bent piece 62 of the first spring plate 27 are disposed in the first gap L1 so as to face the front side plate 12 of the eaves gutter 10 from the first rising portion 53. Therefore, the first spring plate 27 together with the first displacement suppression portion 54 can suppress the front ear 15 housed inside the first ear holding portion 36 from being displaced within the first ear holding portion 36. In this way, by suppressing the displacement of the front ear 15 by both the first displacement suppression portion 54 and the first spring plate 27, it becomes even more difficult for the front ear 15 to come off the first ear holding portion .

[0034] In addition, the second fixing portion 66 and the second bent piece 67 of the first spring plate 27 are disposed in the second gap L2 so as to face the rear side plate 13 of the eaves gutter 10 from the second rising portion 55. Therefore, the rear ear 16 housed inside the second ear holding portion 37 can be prevented from being displaced within the second ear holding portion 37 by the second spring plate 28 together with the second displacement suppressing portion 56. In this way, by suppressing the displacement of the rear ear portion 16 by both the second displacement suppression portion 56 and the second spring plate 28, it is possible to make the rear ear portion 16 even less likely to come off the second ear holding portion 37.

[0035] In addition, the reinforcing member 26 includes a first displacement suppression portion 54 and a second displacement suppression portion 56. With this, by providing the reinforcing member 26 to the support member 25, the first displacement suppression portion 54 can be easily disposed inside the first ear holding portion 36. Also, the second displacement suppression portion 56 can be easily disposed inside the second ear holding portion 37.

[0036] In the first embodiment, an example in which the reinforcing member 26 is formed by bending a rectangular plate member has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. As another example, for example, ribs may be formed on both sides of a rectangular plate member, and the plate member having the ribs may be folded to form the reinforcing member 26. By providing the plate member with ribs, the thickness of the plate member can be made thin, thereby ensuring the strength of the reinforcing member 26. This allows the reinforcing member 26 to be made lighter.

[0037] Next, slings of the second to eighth embodiments will be described with reference to Figures 5 to 15. Note that in the slings of the second to eighth embodiments, the same or similar members as those of the sling 20 of the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0038] [Second embodiment] 5 and 6, the sling 100 of the second embodiment has a reinforcing member 102 instead of the reinforcing member 26 of the first embodiment. Moreover, the sling 100 has a first displacement restraining portion (displacement restraining portion) 103 and a second displacement restraining portion (displacement restraining portion) 104 instead of the first displacement restraining portion 54 and the second displacement restraining portion 56 of the first embodiment. Furthermore, in the sling 100, a first spring plate 27 and a second spring plate 28 are provided on the support body 35 of the support member 25.

[0039] Specifically, for example, the lower end 63a of the curved portion 63 of the first spring plate 27 is directly attached to the front end of the support body 35 by a rivet 58. As in the first embodiment, the extension portion 64 and the first bent piece 62 of the first spring plate 27 are arranged in the first gap L1 so as to face the front side plate 12 (see FIG. 1) of the eaves gutter 10 from the first inner side wall 41 (i.e., the inside of the eaves gutter 10). The second spring plate 28 has, for example, a front end 66a of the second fixing portion 66 directly attached to the rear end of the support body 35 by a rivet 58. The second fixing portion 66 and the second bent piece 67 are arranged in the second gap L2 so as to face the rear side plate 13 (see FIG. 1) of the eaves gutter 10 from the second inner side wall 45 (i.e., the inside of the eaves gutter 10).

[0040] The reinforcing member 102 is disposed along the longitudinal direction of the support body 35. The reinforcing member 102 is disposed above the support member 25. The reinforcing member 102 is formed by bending a rectangular plate member. The reinforcing member 102 has, for example, the same width as the width W2 of the bulging portion 25a of the support member 25. The reinforcing member 102 has, for example, a reinforcing body 112, a first reinforcing outer wall 113, a first reinforcing bottom 114, a second reinforcing outer wall 115, and a second reinforcing bottom 116.

[0041] The reinforcing body 112 is disposed horizontally along the support member 25 from the front end of the first apex 42 to above the rear end of the second apex 46. A second elongated hole 118 is formed in the center of the reinforcing body 112 in the longitudinal direction. The second elongated hole 118 is disposed above the first elongated hole 38 (see FIG. 4) formed in the support body 35. The lower end 21L (see FIG. 1) of the suspension bolt 21 is inserted into the second elongated hole 118 and the first elongated hole 38. The lower end 21L is fastened from above and below the support body 35 by a pair of nuts 31. As a result, the support body 35 is fixed to the lower end 21L by the pair of nuts 31.

[0042] The first reinforcing outer wall 113 is bent downward from the front end of the reinforcing body 112 along the outer surface of the first outer wall 43. The first reinforcing outer wall 113 is connected to the outer surface of the first outer wall 43. The first reinforcing bottom 114 is bent backward from the lower end of the first reinforcing outer wall 113 along the outer surface of the first bottom 44. The first reinforcing bottom 114 is connected to the outer surface of the first bottom 44.

[0043] The second reinforcing outer wall 115 is bent downward from the rear end of the reinforcing body 52, so that the lower half 115a is connected along the outer surface of the second outer wall 47. The second reinforcing bottom 116 is bent forward from the lower end of the second reinforcing outer wall 115 along the outer surface of the second bottom 48. The second reinforcing bottom 116 is connected to the outer surface of the second bottom 48.

[0044] The reinforcing member 102 has a first reinforcing outer wall 113 and a first reinforcing bottom portion 114 fixed to the first ear holding portion 36, and a lower half portion 115a of the second reinforcing outer wall 115 and a second reinforcing bottom portion 116 fixed to the second ear holding portion 37. In other words, the reinforcing member 102 is disposed along the longitudinal direction of the support body 35, and is provided on the first ear holding portion 36 and the second ear holding portion 37 from the outside. Therefore, the reinforcing member 102 can be easily processed into the support member 25 as an integrated product.

[0045] As shown in Figs. 5 and 7, the first displacement suppression portion 103 has, for example, a first suppression portion main body 121 and a first locking portion 122. The first suppression portion main body 121 is disposed inside the first ear holding portion 36. The first locking portion 122 is provided at the upper end of the first suppression portion main body 121. The first locking portion 122 is disposed above and spaced apart from the upper surface of the first suppression portion main body 121. The upper surface of the first suppression portion main body 121 and the first locking portion 122 of the first displacement suppression portion 103 are fitted into the first top portion 42 of the support member 25. In this state, the first engagement portion 122 is fixed to the first apex 42, for example, by a rivet (not shown). The first suppression portion body 121 is disposed along the rear first inner wall 41 inside the first ear holding portion 36. As a result, the first suppression portion body 121 is disposed inside the eaves gutter 10 (see FIG. 1) inside the first ear holding portion 36. In other words, the first suppression portion body 121 is disposed inside the first ear holding portion 36 separately from the reinforcing member 102. Therefore, the first displacement suppression portion 103 can be easily processed into the support member 25 as an integrated product.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 5, the second displacement restraint portion 104 is formed in the same manner as the first displacement restraint portion 103. That is, in the second displacement restraint portion 104, the upper surface of the second restraint portion body 124 and the second locking portion 125 are fitted into the second apex 46 of the support member 25. In this state, the second locking portion 125 is fixed to the second apex 46 by, for example, a rivet (not shown). The second restraint portion body 124 is disposed along the front second inner wall 45 inside the second ear holding portion 37. As a result, the second restraint portion body 124 is disposed inside the eaves gutter 10 (see FIG. 1) inside the second ear holding portion 37. That is, the second restraint portion body 124 is disposed inside the second ear holding portion 37 separately from the reinforcing member 102. The second displacement restraint portion 104 can be easily processed into the support member 25 as an integral product.

[0047] As described above, the suspender 100 of the second embodiment is provided with the reinforcing member 102 along the support member 25, as well as with the first displacement suppression portion 103 and the second displacement suppression portion 104. Furthermore, the suspender 100 is provided with the first spring plate 27 and the second spring plate 28 on the support member 25. As a result, the suspender 100 of the second embodiment can provide the same functions and effects as the suspender 20 of the first embodiment.

[0048] Here, the reinforcing member 102 can be attached to the first ear holding portion 36 and the second ear holding portion 37 from the outside. Therefore, the reinforcing member 102 can be easily processed into the support member 25 as an integrated product. Furthermore, the first displacement suppression portion 103 and the second displacement suppression portion 104 can be easily processed into the support member 25 as an integrated product. In addition, this makes it possible to easily perform the construction of supporting the eaves gutter 10 on the hanging device 100 at the construction site.

[0049] Furthermore, the first displacement restraint section 103 is disposed inside the first ear holding section 36 separately from the reinforcing member 102. Also, the second displacement restraint section 104 is disposed inside the second ear holding section 37 separately from the reinforcing member 102. This allows for greater design freedom when determining the positions at which the first displacement restraint section 103 and the second displacement restraint section 104 are disposed.

[0050] [Third embodiment] As shown in Figures 8 and 9, a hanger 130 of the third embodiment includes a reinforcing member 132 instead of the reinforcing member 102, first displacement suppression portion 103, and second displacement suppression portion 104 of the second embodiment. The reinforcing member 132 is provided on the support member 25. The reinforcing member 132 includes a first reinforcing portion 134 and a second reinforcing portion 135. The first reinforcing portion 134 and the second reinforcing portion 135 are disposed symmetrically with respect to the support member 25 in the longitudinal direction of the eaves gutter 10 (see Figure 1).

[0051] The first reinforcing portion 134 is provided on the support member 25 from one side in the longitudinal direction. The first reinforcing portion 134 is formed by bending a rectangular plate member. The first reinforcing portion 134 has a first reinforcing body 134a, a first front folded portion 134b, and a first rear folded portion 134c. The first reinforcing body 134a is provided on the first inner wall 41 and the second inner wall 45 of the support member 25 from one side in the longitudinal direction. The first front fold portion 134b is bent from the front end of the first reinforcing body 134a toward the other side in the longitudinal direction. The first front fold portion 134b is inserted into the first ear holding portion 36 from one side in the longitudinal direction. The first rear fold portion 134c is bent from the rear end of the first reinforcing body 134a toward the other side in the longitudinal direction. The first rear fold portion 134c is inserted into the second ear holding portion 37 from one side in the longitudinal direction.

[0052] The second reinforcing portion 135 is provided on the support member 25 from the other side in the longitudinal direction of the eaves gutter 10. The second reinforcing portion 135 is formed by bending a rectangular plate member. The second reinforcing portion 135 has a second reinforcing body 135a, a second front folded portion 135b, and a second rear folded portion 135c. The second reinforcing body 135a is provided on the first inner wall 41 and the second inner wall 45 of the support member 25 from the other longitudinal side of the eaves gutter 10. The second front fold-in portion 135b is folded from the front end of the second reinforcing body 135a toward one side in the longitudinal direction. The second front fold-in portion 135b is inserted into the first ear holding portion 36 from the other longitudinal side. The second front fold-in portion 135b is engaged (connected) with the first front fold-in portion 134b.

[0053] The second rear fold-in portion 135c is bent from the rear end of the second reinforcing body 135a toward one side in the longitudinal direction. The second rear fold-in portion 135c is inserted into the second ear holder 37 from the other side in the longitudinal direction. The second rear fold-in portion 135c is engaged (connected) with the first rear fold-in portion 134c. In this manner, the first front fold-in portion 134b and the second front fold-in portion 135b are locked, and the first rear fold-in portion 134c and the second rear fold-in portion 135c are locked. Thus, the reinforcing member 132 has the first reinforcing portion 134 and the second reinforcing portion 135 provided on both sides of the support member 25. Therefore, the reinforcing member 132 can be easily processed into the support member 25 as an integrated product. The first front fold-in portion 134b and the second front fold-in portion 135b are provided on the inside of the first ear holding portion 36. The first rear fold-in portion 134c and the second rear fold-in portion 135c are provided on the inside of the second ear holding portion 37.

[0054] Moreover, the first front fold-in portion 134b and the second front fold-in portion 135b are engaged to form a first displacement suppression portion (displacement suppression portion) 137. That is, the reinforcing member 132 includes the first displacement suppression portion 137. The first displacement suppression portion 137 is disposed inside the first ear holding portion 36 and inside the eaves gutter 10 (see FIG. 1). Furthermore, the first rear fold-in portion 134c and the second rear fold-in portion 135c are engaged to form a second displacement suppression portion (displacement suppression portion) 138. That is, the reinforcing member 132 includes the second displacement suppression portion 138. The second displacement suppression portion 138 is disposed inside the second ear holding portion 37 and inside the eaves gutter 10 (see FIG. 1).

[0055] As described above, the suspender 130 of the third embodiment is provided with the reinforcing member 132 along the support member 25. Furthermore, the suspender 130 includes the first displacement suppression portion 137 and the second displacement suppression portion 138 in the reinforcing member 132. In addition, the suspender 130 is provided with the first spring plate 27 and the second spring plate 28 on the support member 25. As a result, the suspender 130 of the third embodiment can provide the same functions and effects as the suspender 20 of the first embodiment.

[0056] Here, the first reinforcing portion 134 and the second reinforcing portion 135 of the reinforcing member 132 can be provided on both sides of the support member 25. This makes it possible to easily process the reinforcing member 132 into the support member 25 as an integrated product. Furthermore, this makes it possible to facilitate the construction of supporting the eaves gutter 10 on the hanging tool 130 at the construction site.

[0057] In addition, reinforcing member 26 is provided on both sides of supporting member 25. Further, reinforcing member 132 includes first displacement suppression portion 137 and second displacement suppression portion 138. Thereby, by providing reinforcing member 26 on supporting member 25, first displacement suppression portion 137 can be easily arranged inside first ear holding portion 36, and second displacement suppression portion 138 can be easily arranged inside second ear holding portion 37.

[0058] In the third embodiment, an example in which the first reinforcing portion 134 and the second reinforcing portion 135 are formed by bending a rectangular plate member has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. As another example, for example, ribs may be formed on both sides of a rectangular plate member, and the plate member having the ribs may be folded to form the first reinforcing portion 134 and the second reinforcing portion 135. By providing the plate member with ribs, the thickness of the plate member can be reduced, thereby ensuring the strength of the first reinforcing portion 134 and the second reinforcing portion 135. This allows the first reinforcing portion 134 and the second reinforcing portion 135 (i.e., the reinforcing member 132) to be lightweight.

[0059] [Fourth embodiment] 10, a sling 140 of the fourth embodiment includes a reinforcing member 142 instead of the reinforcing member 26 of the first embodiment. The reinforcing member 142 is, for example, the reinforcing member 26 of the first embodiment from which the first displacement suppression portion 54 and the second displacement suppression portion 56 have been removed. In the reinforcing member 142, an upper half 53a of the first rising portion 53 serves as a first displacement suppression portion (displacement suppression portion) 53a, and a second rising portion 55 serves as a second displacement suppression portion (displacement suppression portion) 55.

[0060] The first displacement suppression portion 53a is disposed on the inside of the eaves gutter 10 (see FIG. 1) on the inside of the first ear holding portion 36. Therefore, the thickness of the first displacement suppression portion 53a can suppress the displacement of the front ear portion 15 (see FIG. 1). The second displacement suppression portion 55 is disposed on the inside of the eaves gutter 10 (see FIG. 1) on the inside of the second ear holding portion 37. Therefore, the thickness of the second displacement suppression portion 55 can suppress the displacement of the back ear portion 16 (see FIG. 1).

[0061] As described above, the suspender 140 of the fourth embodiment is provided with the reinforcing member 142 on the support member 25. Furthermore, the suspender 140 includes the first displacement suppressing portion 53a and the second displacement suppressing portion 55 on the reinforcing member 142. In addition, the suspender 140 is provided with the first spring plate 27 and the second spring plate 28 on the support member 25. As a result, the suspender 140 of the fourth embodiment can provide the same functions and effects as the suspender 20 of the first embodiment.

[0062] In addition, the reinforcing member 142 includes the first displacement suppression portion 53a and the second displacement suppression portion 55. With this, by providing the reinforcing member 142 to the support member 25, the first displacement suppression portion 53a can be easily disposed inside the first ear holding portion 36. Also, the second displacement suppression portion 55 can be easily disposed inside the second ear holding portion 37.

[0063] [Fifth embodiment] 11, the suspender 150 of the fifth embodiment includes a reinforcing member 152 instead of the reinforcing member 26 of the first embodiment. In addition, the suspender 150 includes a first spring plate 27 and a second spring plate 28 provided on the support body 35 of the support member 25. The reinforcing member 152 is provided in the eaves gutter 10. The reinforcing member 152 is disposed along the longitudinal direction of the support member 25 (particularly, the support body 35). The reinforcing member 152 is disposed below the support member 25. The reinforcing member 152 is formed by bending a rectangular plate member. The reinforcing member 152 has the same width as the width W1 (see FIG. 2) of the support member 25. The reinforcing member 152 has, for example, a reinforcing body 153, a first reinforcing outer wall 154, a first reinforcing apex 155, a first reinforcing folded piece 156, a second reinforcing outer wall 157, a second reinforcing apex 158, and a second reinforcing folded piece 159.

[0064] The reinforcing body 153 is disposed along the longitudinal direction of the support body 35. The first reinforcing outer wall 154 is bent upward from the front end of the reinforcing body 153. The first reinforcing apex 155 is bent forward from the upper end of the first reinforcing outer wall 154. The first reinforcing fold 156 is bent downward from the front end of the first reinforcing apex 155.

[0065] An upper portion 154 a of the first reinforcing outer wall 154 , a first reinforcing top portion 155 , and a first reinforcing fold portion 156 are provided on the inside of the first ear holding portion 36 . Moreover, the upper portion 154a, the first reinforcing apex 155, and the first reinforcing fold 156 of the first reinforcing outer wall 154 are folded so as to wrap around the front ear 15 from the outside. Therefore, the upper portion 154a, the first reinforcing apex 155, and the first reinforcing fold 156 of the first reinforcing outer wall 154 can suppress the front ear 15 from being displaced. That is, the upper portion 154a, the first reinforcing apex 155, and the first reinforcing fold 156 of the first reinforcing outer wall 154 form a first displacement suppression portion (displacement suppression portion) 162. Therefore, the reinforcing member 152 includes the first displacement suppression portion 162.

[0066] Further, the second reinforcing outer wall 157 is bent upward from the rear end of the reinforcing body 153. The second reinforcing apex 158 is bent backward from the upper end of the second reinforcing outer wall 157. The second reinforcing fold 159 is bent downward from the rear end of the second reinforcing apex 158. The second reinforcing outer wall 157, the second reinforcing apex 158, and the second reinforcing fold 159 are provided on the inside of the second ear holding portion 37. The second reinforcing outer wall 157, the second reinforcing apex 158, and the second reinforcing fold 159 are folded so as to wrap around the rear ear portion 16 from the outside. Therefore, the second reinforcing outer wall 157, the second reinforcing apex 158, and the second reinforcing fold 159 can suppress the rear ear portion 16 from being displaced. That is, the second reinforcing outer wall 157, the second reinforcing apex 158, and the second reinforcing fold 159 form a second displacement suppression portion (displacement suppression portion) 163. Therefore, the reinforcing member 152 includes the second displacement suppression portion 163.

[0067] Here, when attaching the reinforcing member 152 to the hanging tool 150, for example, the eaves gutter 10 is supported on the support member 25, and then the reinforcing member 152 is attached by inserting it into the gap between the support member 25 and the eaves gutter 10 from the longitudinal direction of the eaves gutter 10. Therefore, the reinforcing member 152 can be easily processed into the support member 25 and the eaves gutter 10 as an integrated product. Furthermore, this makes it possible to easily perform the construction of supporting the eaves gutter 10 on the hanging tool 150 at the construction site.

[0068] As described above, the sling 150 of the fifth embodiment is provided with the reinforcing member 152 along the support member 25. The reinforcing member 152 is also provided on the first ear holding portion 36 and the second ear holding portion 37. Furthermore, the sling 150 includes the first displacement suppressing portion 162 and the second displacement suppressing portion 163 in the reinforcing member 152. In addition, the sling 150 is provided with the first spring plate 27 and the second spring plate 28 on the support member 25. As a result, the suspender 150 of the fifth embodiment can provide the same functions and effects as the suspender 20 of the first embodiment.

[0069] In addition, the reinforcing member 152 is provided in the eaves gutter 10, and the reinforcing member 152 includes a first displacement suppression portion 162 and a second displacement suppression portion 163. Thus, by providing the reinforcing member 152 in the eaves gutter 10, the first displacement suppression portion 162 can be easily positioned inside the first ear holding portion 36. Also, the second displacement suppression portion 163 can be easily positioned inside the second ear holding portion 37.

[0070] [Sixth embodiment] 12 and 13, a suspender 170 of the sixth embodiment includes a reinforcing member 172 instead of the reinforcing member 26 of the first embodiment. In addition, in the suspender 170, a first spring plate 27 and a second spring plate 28 are provided on the support body 35 of the support member 25. The reinforcing member 172 is disposed along the longitudinal direction of the support member 25 (particularly, the support main body 35). The reinforcing member 172 is disposed above the support member 25. The reinforcing member 172 is formed by bending a rectangular plate member. The reinforcing member 172 has, for example, the same width W2 as the bulging portion 25a of the support member 25. The reinforcing member 172 has, for example, a reinforcing main body 173, a first mounting portion 174, a second bent portion 175, and a second mounting portion 176.

[0071] The reinforcing body 173 is disposed above the supporting body 35 along the longitudinal direction. The reinforcing body 173 has a through hole 178 formed in the center in the longitudinal direction. The hanging bolt 21 is inserted into the through hole 178. The first mounting portion 174 extends from the front end of the reinforcing body 173 along the first apex 42 of the first ear holding portion 36. The first mounting portion 174 is disposed on the surface of the first apex 42. A screw hole 181 is provided in the first mounting portion 174. A first bolt 184, which will be described later, is screwed into the screw hole 181.

[0072] The first mounting portion 174 is provided on the first apex 42 by a first bolt (bolt) 184. The first bolt 184 is provided inside the first ear retaining portion 36 with a tip portion 184a screwed to the first mounting portion 174 and the first apex 42. The tip portion 184a of the first bolt 184 is disposed inside the first ear retaining portion 36, inside the eaves gutter 10. Therefore, the tip portion 184a of the first bolt 184 can suppress the front ear 15 from being displaced. In other words, the tip portion 184a of the first bolt 184 also serves as the first displacement suppressing portion (displacement suppressing portion) 184a.

[0073] Additionally, the second bent portion 175 is bent downward from the rear end of the reinforcing body 173. The second mounting portion 176 extends from the lower end of the second bent portion 175 along the second apex 46 of the second ear holding portion 37. The second mounting portion 176 is disposed on the surface of the second apex 46. A screw hole 182 is provided in the second mounting portion 176. A second bolt 185, which will be described later, is screwed into the screw hole 182.

[0074] The second mounting portion 176 is provided on the second apex 46 by a second bolt (bolt) 185. The second bolt 185 is provided inside the second ear retaining portion 37 with a tip portion 185a screwed to the second mounting portion 176 and the second apex 46. The tip portion 185a of the second bolt 185 is disposed inside the second ear retaining portion 37, on the inside of the eaves gutter 10. Thus, the tip portion 185a of the second bolt 185 can suppress the rear ear 16 from being displaced. In other words, the tip portion 185a of the second bolt 185 also serves as the second displacement suppressing portion (displacement suppressing portion) 185a.

[0075] Here, the reinforcing member 172 can be attached to the support member 25 with the first bolt 184 and the second bolt 185. Therefore, the reinforcing member 172 can be easily processed into the support member 25 as an integrated product. Furthermore, at the construction site, the construction of supporting the eaves gutter 10 on the hanging tool 170 can be simplified.

[0076] As described above, the suspender 170 of the sixth embodiment is provided with the reinforcing member 172 along the support member 25. Furthermore, the reinforcing member 172 is provided on the first ear holding portion 36 and the second ear holding portion 37. Furthermore, in the suspender 170, the tip portion 184a of the first bolt 184 also serves as the first displacement suppression portion 184a.

Thereby, by providing the reinforcing member 172 to the support member 25, the first displacement suppression portion 184a can be easily disposed inside the first ear holding portion 36. Furthermore, the second displacement suppression portion 185a can be easily disposed inside the second ear holding portion 37.

[0078] [Seventh embodiment] As shown in FIG. 14, a suspender 190 of the seventh embodiment includes a reinforcing member 192 instead of the reinforcing member 172 of the sixth embodiment. The reinforcing member 192 is disposed along the longitudinal direction of the support member 25 (particularly, the support body 35). The reinforcing member 192 is disposed above the support member 25. The reinforcing member 192 is formed by bending a rectangular plate member. The reinforcing member 192 has, for example, the same width W2 (see FIG. 2) as the bulging portion 25a of the support member 25. The reinforcing member 192 has, for example, a reinforcing body 193, a first rising portion 194, a first mounting portion 195, a second rising portion 196, and a second mounting portion 197.

The first mounting portion 195 is disposed on the surface of the first apex 42. The first mounting portion 195 is provided with a screw hole (not shown). A first bolt 202 described later is screwed into the screw hole (not shown).

[0080] The first mounting portion 195 is provided on the first apex 42 by a first bolt (bolt) 202. The first bolt 202 is provided inside the first ear retaining portion 36 with a tip portion 202a screwed to the first mounting portion 195 and the first apex 42. The tip portion 202a of the first bolt 202 is disposed inside the first ear retaining portion 36, inside the eaves gutter 10. Thus, the tip portion 202a of the first bolt 202 can suppress the front ear 15 from being displaced. In other words, the tip portion 202a of the first bolt 202 also serves as the first displacement suppressing portion (displacement suppressing portion) 202a.

[0081] Additionally, the second rising portion 196 is bent upward from the rear end of the reinforcing body 193. The second mounting portion 197 extends from the upper end of the second rising portion 196 along the second apex 46 of the second ear holding portion 37.

A first bolt 218 (described later) is screwed into the screw hole (not shown).

[0088] The first mounting portion 215 is provided on the first apex 42 by a first bolt (bolt) 218. The first bolt 218 is provided inside the first ear retaining portion 36 with a tip portion 218a screwed to the first mounting portion 215 and the first apex 42. The tip portion 218a of the first bolt 218 is disposed inside the first ear retaining portion 36, inside the eaves gutter 10. Thus, the tip portion 218a of the first bolt 218 can suppress the front ear 15 from being displaced. In other words, the tip portion 218a of the first bolt 218 also serves as the first displacement suppressing portion (displacement suppressing portion) 218a.

[0089] Moreover, the second mounting portion 216 extends from the rear end of the reinforcing body 213 along the second apex 46 of the second ear holding portion 37. The second mounting portion 216 is disposed on the surface of the second apex 46. A screw hole (not shown) is provided in the second mounting portion 216. A second bolt 219, which will be described later, is screwed into the screw hole (not shown).

[0090] The second mounting portion 216 is provided on the second apex 46 by a second bolt (bolt) 219. The second bolt 219 is provided inside the second ear retaining portion 37 with a tip portion 219a screwed to the second mounting portion 216 and the second apex 46. The tip portion 219a of the second bolt 219 is disposed inside the second ear retaining portion 37, on the inside of the eaves gutter 10. Thus, the tip portion 219a of the second bolt 219 can suppress the rear ear 16 from being displaced. In other words, the tip portion 219a of the second bolt 219 also serves as the second displacement suppressing portion (displacement suppressing portion) 219a.

[0091] Here, the reinforcing member 212 can be attached to the support member 25 with the first bolt 218 and the second bolt 219. Therefore, the reinforcing member 212 can be easily processed into the support member 25 as an integrated product. Furthermore, at the construction site, the construction of supporting the eaves gutter 10 on the hanging tool 210 can be simplified.

[0092] As described above, the suspender 210 of the eighth embodiment is provided with the reinforcing member 212 along the support member 25. Furthermore, the reinforcing member 212 is provided on the first ear holding portion 36 and the second ear holding portion 37. Furthermore, in the suspender 210, the tip portion 218a of the first bolt 218 also serves as the first displacement suppressing portion 218a. Furthermore, the tip portion 219a of the second bolt 219 also serves as the second displacement suppressing portion 219a. As a result, the suspender 210 of the eighth embodiment can provide the same functions and effects as the suspender 20 of the first embodiment.

[0093] In addition, the reinforcing member 212 is attached to the support member 25 by the first bolt 218 and the second bolt 219. Furthermore, the tip portion 218a of the first bolt 218 also serves as the first displacement suppressing portion 218a. Furthermore, the tip portion 219a of the second bolt 219 also serves as the second displacement suppressing portion 219a. Thereby, by attaching the reinforcing member 212 to the support member 25, the first displacement suppressing portion 218a can be easily disposed inside the first ear holding portion 36. Furthermore, the second displacement suppressing portion 219a can be easily disposed inside the second ear holding portion 37.

[0094] In the hanging device described above, a spring plate is used to prevent the eaves gutter and the hanging metal fitting from being damaged or falling off, but a spring plate with an appropriately modified structure may also be used. Modified examples of the spring plate will now be described.

[0095] [First Modification of Spring Plate] 16 and 17 show a first modified example of a spring plate according to this embodiment. In the first modified example, the first spring plate 27 and the second spring plate 28 each have a two-stage structure. The first spring plate 27 includes a first-stage spring plate 27a and a second-stage spring plate 27b. The first-stage spring plate 27a has a first fixing portion 61 and a first bent piece 62. The first fixing portion 61 has a curved portion 63 and an extending portion 64. The curved portion 63 is disposed along the back surface of the reinforcing body 52 and the back surface of the first rising portion 53. The lower end 63a of the curved portion 63 is provided, for example, by a rivet 58 on the front end of the support body 35 and the front end of the reinforcing body 53. The extending portion 64 is bent forward from the upper end of the curved portion 63. The first bent piece 62 is bent upward from the front end of the extending portion 64. The second-stage spring plate 27b has a second-stage extending portion 71 and a second-stage first bent piece 72. The second-stage extending portion 71 is shorter in the front-rear direction than the extending portion 64. The second stage spring plate 27b is located within the first lug holding portion . The second spring plate 28 includes a first-stage spring plate 28a and a second-stage spring plate 28b. The first-stage spring plate 28a has a second fixing portion 66 and a second bent piece 67. For example, the front end 66a of the second fixing portion 66 is provided at the rear end of the support body 35 and the rear end of the reinforcing body 55 by a rivet 58. The second fixing portion 66 extends rearward from the front end 66a. The second bent piece 67 is bent upward from the rear end of the second fixing portion 66. The second-stage spring plate 28b has a second-stage extending portion 73 and a second-stage first bent piece 74. The second-stage extending portion 77 is shorter in the front-rear direction than the extending portion 66. The second-stage spring plate 28b is located within the second ear holding portion 37. 17, the first spring plate 27 according to the first modified example is formed by processing two springs of different lengths branching out from a single spring plate to form a first bent piece 62 and a second-stage first bent piece 72. In this modified example, two (multiple) first-stage spring plates 27a, 28a are provided in the longitudinal direction of the eaves gutter 10. The two first-stage spring plates 27a, 28a are positioned on both sides of the second-stage spring plates 27b, 28b in the longitudinal direction of the eaves gutter 10.

[0096] In the first modified example, the spring plate has a two-stage structure, so that, for example, in the first spring plate 27, the first stage spring plate 27a mainly plays a role in fitting the eaves gutter 10, and the second stage spring plate 27b mainly suppresses deformation of the eaves gutter 10. The mechanism for suppressing deformation of the eaves gutter 10 will be described later.

[0097] [Second Modification of Spring Plate] 18 and 19 show a second modified example of a spring plate according to this embodiment. In the second modified example, the first spring plate 27 and the second spring plate 28 each have a two-stage structure, as in the first modified example. Meanwhile, the two-stage structure is formed by stacking two spring plates or by welding. The spring structure and its role in the second modified example are the same as those in the first modified example and will be described later. In this modified example, only one first stage spring plate 27a, 28a is provided in the longitudinal direction of the eaves gutter 10. Each of the first stage spring plates 27a, 28a is larger than the second stage spring plates 27b, 28b in the longitudinal direction of the eaves gutter 10.

[0098] [Third modified example of spring plate] 20 and 21 show a third modified example of a spring plate according to this embodiment. The third modified example has a single-stage spring structure similar to that of the first example of the spring plate. However, the height of the first bent piece 62, which is bent upward from the front end of the extension 64 in the first spring plate 27, is increased. For example, the height of the first bent piece 62 is greater than 1 / 2 the height h of the first ear holding portion 36. Similarly, the structure of the second spring plate 28 is configured such that the height of the second bent piece 67 is greater than 1 / 2 the height h' of the second ear holding portion 37. The first bent piece 62 is located within the first ear holding portion 36, and the second bent piece 67 is located within the second ear holding portion 37. The spring structure and its role in the third modified example are similar to those in the first modified example and will be described later.

[0099] [Fourth modified example of spring plate] 22 and 23 show a fourth modified example of the spring plate according to this embodiment. In the fourth modified example, two stages of springs are processed from a single plate. The first spring plate 27 has a two-stage spring portion 80 upward from the front end of the extension portion 64. The two-stage spring portion 80 is bent backward into a V-shape at the center position in the vertical direction. The second spring plate 28 has a two-stage spring portion 81 upward from the rear end of the second fixed portion 66, similar to the first spring plate 27. The two-stage spring portion 81 is bent forward into a V-shape at the center position in the vertical direction. The spring structure and its role in the fourth modified example are also the same as those in the first modified example, and will be described later.

[0100] The above describes modified examples of the spring plate. The mechanism for suppressing deformation of the gutter by the spring plate in this embodiment will be described below.

[0101] [Mechanism for suppressing trough deformation using spring plates] FIG. 24 illustrates an example of a sling to which a first modified example of the spring plate according to this embodiment is applied. FIG. 25 illustrates the deformation of the sling shown in FIG. 24 when a load such as snow is applied. The hatched areas in FIG. 24 and FIG. 25 are the forward gutter deformation space α, the rear gutter deformation space β, and the forward gutter deformation space α' after deformation and the rear gutter deformation space β' after deformation. The forward gutter deformation space α is a space behind the portion where the front ear 15 of the gutter 10 is located in the first ear holding portion 36. The rear gutter deformation space β is a space ahead of the portion where the rear ear 16 of the gutter 10 is located in the second ear holding portion 37. In the following description, the forward gutter deformation space α and the rear gutter deformation space β may be referred to as "gutter deformation spaces α, β". When the state changes from FIG. 24 to FIG. 25, that is, when a load is applied to the sling, the gutter deformation spaces α and β indicated by the shaded areas are deformed. Specifically, the area of ​​the gutter deformation spaces is reduced when viewed from the longitudinal direction of the eaves gutter 10. When the area occupied by the gutter deformation spaces α and β is reduced, the eaves gutter 10 becomes more likely to come off. However, as shown in FIG. 25, the sling to which the first modified spring plate is applied suppresses the deformation of the gutter deformation spaces α and β due to the presence of the first spring plate 27 and the second spring plate 28 located in the gutter deformation spaces α and β. In other words, the spring plate serves as a displacement suppression part, filling the gutter deformation spaces α and β and suppressing the deformation of the gutter deformation spaces α and β, thereby preventing the gutter deformation and the eaves gutter 10 from falling off when a load such as snow is applied to the sling.

[0102] The mechanism for suppressing gutter deformation by a spring plate has been described above using the first modified example of the spring plate for fixing the hanger to the eaves gutter 10 of the rain gutters, but the same effect can be obtained by using the second to fourth modified examples of the spring plate. Furthermore, the first to fourth modified examples of the spring plate described above can be applied to any of the first to eighth embodiments of the hanger according to the present invention, and the effect of suppressing deformation of the eaves gutter 10 can be similarly obtained.

[0103] 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.

[0104] For example, both the first spring plate 27 and the second spring plate 28 may be absent, or one of the first spring plate 27 and the second spring plate 28 may be absent. For example, in the above embodiment, the front side plate 12 is higher than the rear side plate 13, and the eaves gutter 10 is a so-called high front gutter, but this is not limited thereto. For example, the front side plate 12 and the rear side plate 13 may be the same height.

[0105] In addition, the components in this embodiment can be replaced with well-known components as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0106] (Additional Note) <1> A hanging device according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a support member having a support body arranged in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the gutter, and a pair of ear holding portions provided at both ends of the support body to accommodate a pair of ears provided on the gutter, a reinforcing member arranged along the longitudinal direction of the support body and provided on the pair of ear holding portions, and a displacement suppression portion arranged inside the ear holding portions.

[0107] According to the hanging device, a reinforcing member is disposed along the longitudinal direction of the support body. Furthermore, the reinforcing member is connected to a pair of ear holding parts. Thus, the support body is reinforced with the reinforcing member, and the pair of ear holding parts can be reinforced with the reinforcing member. This allows the reinforcing member to prevent the support body and the pair of ear holding parts from being deformed due to the load applied to the support member. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the pair of ears from coming off the pair of ear holding parts and to prevent the rain gutter from falling off the support member.

[0108] In addition, the displacement suppression portion is disposed inside the ear holding portion, so that the ears housed in the ear holding portion can be prevented from displacing within the ear holding portion by the displacement suppression portion, thereby more effectively preventing the pair of ears from coming off the pair of ear holding portions due to the load applied to the support member or the rain gutter.

[0109] <2> the above <1> The hanging device according to the present invention may further include a spring plate provided on the support member and facing an ear portion or a side wall of the rain gutter from the inside.

[0110] A spring plate is provided on the support member and faces the ear or side wall of the gutter from the inside. Thus, the ear housed in the ear holding portion can be prevented from displacing within the ear holding portion by the spring plate together with the displacement suppression portion. In this way, by suppressing the displacement of the ear by both the displacement suppression portion and the spring plate, it is possible to make the ear even less likely to come off the ear holding portion.
