[0009] Hereinafter, with reference to Figures 1 to 6, an eaves gutter support and a gutter system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. The eaves gutter support according to the following embodiment is attached to the tip of the eaves end board of a folded plate roof, for example, and is used to support the eaves gutter. The eaves gutter is not limited to an eaves gutter provided at the eaves end, but also includes, for example, a valley gutter.
[0010] (First embodiment) The first embodiment will be described in detail with reference to Figure 1. Figure 1 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the state in which an eaves gutter C is supported by an eaves gutter support 100 according to this embodiment. In the following description, when the eaves gutter support 100 is attached to a folded-plate roof (roof) A installed on a building 201, the side of the eaves gutter support 100 closer to the folded-plate roof A is referred to as the rear side, and the side farther from the folded-plate roof A is referred to as the front side. As shown in Figure 1, the longitudinal direction of the eaves gutter C is referred to as the Z-axis direction, the direction perpendicular to the Z-axis direction and away from the folded-plate roof A is referred to as the X-axis direction, and the upward direction perpendicular to the Z-axis and X-axis is referred to as the Y-axis direction. The positive side of the Y-axis direction is the upward direction, and the negative side is the downward direction.
[0011] As shown in Figure 1, the eaves gutter support 100 of this embodiment is attached to the tip B of the eaves end board of the roof A of a building 201 and supports the eaves gutter C. The eaves gutter support 100 comprises a support body 1 and a reinforcing member RM. The support body 1 is annular and opens in the longitudinal direction of the eaves gutter C. The upper end of the support body 1 is fixed to the roof A, and the lower end of the support body 1 supports the eaves gutter C. The support body 1 comprises a rear panel BF and a front panel FF. The eaves gutter C is inserted into the rectangular space formed by the rear panel BF and the front panel FF.
[0012] When viewed from the longitudinal direction (Z-axis direction) of the eaves gutter C, the rear material BF is located closer to the building 201 side (roof A side) than the front material FF. The rear panel BF and the front panel FF are each a plate-like member made of, for example, aluminum, and their cross-sectional shapes can be selected appropriately from the viewpoint of the moment of inertia. In other words, the cross-sectional shapes of the plate-like members in the description of this embodiment are not limited to linear shapes. Furthermore, although examples of the shapes of the eaves gutter support 100 are described below using terms such as upward, downward, and horizontal, these may be changed appropriately depending on the shape and inclination angle of the eaves end plate tip B of the folded-plate roof A to which it is to be attached.
[0013] The rear surface member BF includes a support body 10, a vertical piece 101, and a horizontal piece 103. The support body 10 is a plate-like member having a lower piece 12 and an upper piece 11 connected to the eaves board tip B. The upper piece 11 is arranged so as to overlap the upper side of the lower piece 12, and one end 15 is always fixed by fastening a bolt or the like. On the other hand, a recess 10A is formed from the other end (13, 14) to the one end 15 so that the eaves board tip B of the folded-plate roof A can be inserted. In addition, the other end 14 of the upper piece 11 is bent diagonally upward. Each of the upper piece 11 and the lower piece 12 has a hole formed in a position that coincides when viewed from above when the upper piece 11 and the lower piece 12 are arranged so that they overlap. The holes are formed in at least two places in the upper piece 11 and the lower piece 12, one near one end 15 and the other near the other end (13, 14). A second mounting bolt 17, which will be described later, is attached to the hole in the upper piece 11 and the lower piece 12 near one end 15, and a first mounting bolt 16, which will be described later, is attached to the hole in the upper piece 11 and the lower piece 12 near the other end (13, 14).
[0014] The vertical piece 101 is a plate-like member that extends downward from the other end 13 of the lower piece 12 . The horizontal piece 103 is a plate-like member extending from an end 102 of the vertical piece 101 that is farther from the support body 10. The end 104 of the horizontal piece 103 that is farther from the vertical piece 101 is bent upward or downward. In addition, a protrusion 106 is formed on the end 104 of the horizontal piece 103 that is farther from the vertical piece 101 to detachably support a vertical side locking piece 107, which will be described later. A male thread is formed on the outer periphery of the protrusion 106.
[0015] The front surface member FF includes a vertical side locking piece 107 and an attachment piece 108. The vertical locking piece 107 is a plate-like member extending upward from the end 104 of the horizontal piece 103 farther from the vertical piece 101. The vertical locking piece 107 has a hole at its lower end 104 through which a protrusion 106 passes so that the vertical locking piece 107 can be detachably supported on the horizontal piece 103. The protrusion 106 formed on the end 104 of the horizontal piece 103 farther from the vertical piece 101 is inserted into the hole formed in the lower end 104 of the vertical locking piece 107, and the nut 105 is fastened, so that the vertical locking piece 107 can be detachably supported on the horizontal piece 103. The protrusion 106 protrudes forward from the perspective of workability. However, if aesthetics are important, the protrusion 106 may protrude rearward.
[0016] The mounting piece 108 is attached to the vertical side locking piece 107 and has an extension piece 110 located above the upper piece 11 so as to be able to fit over the upper piece 11. The extension piece 110 extends at least to a position where it overlaps with holes in the upper piece 11 and the lower piece 12 that are closer to one end 15. In addition, holes are formed in the extension piece 110 at positions where the extension piece 110 and the holes in the upper piece 11 and the lower piece 12 that are closer to one end 15 overlap. The vertical side locking piece 107, the attachment piece 108, and the extension piece 110 of the attachment piece 108 may be formed integrally in advance. When the eaves gutter support 100 is attached to the tip B of the eaves end board of the roof A, the vertical piece 101 and the vertical side locking piece 107 are positioned so as to face in a substantially vertical direction.
[0017] The first mounting bolt 16 is a bolt that is detachably attached to the support body 10 and passes through the upper piece 11 and the lower piece 12. The first mounting bolt 16 passes through the upper piece 11, the lower piece 12, and the tip B of the eaves board at holes in the upper piece 11 and the lower piece 12 that are closer to the other end (13, 14) of the upper piece 11 and the lower piece 12, and is fastened by screwing in a nut.
[0018] The second mounting bolt 17 is a bolt that is detachably attached to the support body 10 and passes through the upper piece 11, the lower piece 12, and the extension piece 110. The second mounting bolt 17 passes through the upper piece 11, the lower piece 12, the extension piece 110, and the tip B of the eaves board at a hole in the upper piece 11 and the lower piece 12 that is closer to one end 15, and is fastened by screwing in a nut. When attaching the eaves gutter support 100 to the tip B of the eaves end board of the folded-plate roof A, after the tip B of the eaves end board is inserted, the eaves gutter support 100 is fixed to the folded-plate roof A by the first mounting bolt 16 and the second mounting bolt 17. The eaves gutter support 100 supports the eaves gutter C while being suspended from the eaves.
[0019] The eaves gutter C is a member molded to have a U-shaped cross section, and extends along the longitudinal direction (Z-axis direction) of the eaves end board tip B. The eaves gutter C is molded, for example, from resin or the like. In cross section, the eaves gutter C is positioned at a position surrounded by the vertical piece 101, the horizontal piece 103, and the vertical side locking piece 107, and is supported by the eaves gutter support 100. The eaves gutter C is positioned between the front material FF and the rear material BF.
[0020] The reinforcing support part 300 is a member that is connected to the rear panel BF. The reinforcing support part 300 is connected to a reinforcing member RM, which will be described later. The cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing support part 300 as viewed from the longitudinal direction (Z-axis direction) of the eaves gutter C is, for example, an L-shaped or U-shaped member. In this embodiment, the reinforcing support part 300 is disposed at the end 102 of the vertical piece 101. The reinforcing support part 300 may also be disposed at the end of the horizontal piece 103 on the vertical piece 101 side.
[0021] The reinforcing member RM supports the building 201 and the reinforcing support part 300. In detail, the reinforcing member RM supports the roof A and the reinforcing support part 300, or the building 201 and the reinforcing support part 300. In this way, the eaves gutter support 100 is configured to be fixed to the building 201 by the reinforcing member RM.
[0022] According to this embodiment, the eaves gutter support 100 is equipped with a reinforcing member RM that supports the building 201 and the reinforcing support part 300. This provides the eaves gutter support 100 with the strength to suppress the curling phenomenon caused by wind that blows up from the ground along the wall surface 201a of the building 201 toward the eaves gutter C.
[0023] In this embodiment, the reinforcing member RM supports the roof A and the reinforcing support part 300. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 1, the reinforcing member RM is a reinforcing member 111 that includes an upper support part 111a connected to the roof A and a lower support part 111b that extends downward from the end of the upper support part 111a and has a lower end 131 connected to the reinforcing support part 300. The cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing member 111 when viewed from the longitudinal direction (Z-axis direction) of the eaves gutter C is, for example, L-shaped.
[0024] The upper support portion 111a is disposed between the upper piece 11 and the lower piece 12. Specifically, the upper support portion 111a is disposed between the tip portion B of the eaves end board of the folded plate roof A and the lower piece 12. The upper support portion 111a extends at least to the position of the first mounting bolt 16 on the upper piece 11 and the lower piece 12, and is fastened by the first mounting bolt 16. The upper support portion 111a may also extend to the position of the second mounting bolt 17 on the upper piece 11 and the lower piece 12, and be fastened by the second mounting bolt 17 and the first mounting bolt 16.
[0025] The lower support portion 111b extends downward from the rear end portion 130 of the upper support portion 111a, and its lower end 131 is connected to the reinforcing support portion 300. In this embodiment, the reinforcing support portion 300 is disposed at the lower end portion of the rear panel BF. It can also be said that the reinforcing support portion 300 is disposed at the lower end portion 115 of the vertical piece 101. When the cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing support portion 300 is L-shaped as shown in FIG. 1 , a first piece 300a of the reinforcing support portion 300 is connected to the lower end portion 115 of the vertical piece 101 by a third mounting bolt 122. The third mounting bolt 122 is a bolt that is detachably attached to the vertical piece 101 and passes through the vertical piece 101 and the reinforcing support portion 300. The third mounting bolt 122 passes through the vertical piece 101 and the reinforcing support portion 300, and is fastened by screwing a nut onto it.
[0026] The lower end 131 of the lower support portion 111b is connected to the reinforcing support portion 300 by, for example, an attachment bolt. For example, as shown in FIG. 1 , the reinforcing member 111 has a seating surface 111c extending from the lower support portion 111b, and the seating surface 111c is connected to the second piece 300b of the reinforcing support portion 300. The seating surface 111c of the reinforcing member 111 is connected to the second piece 300b of the reinforcing support portion 300 by a fourth attachment bolt 120. The fourth attachment bolt 120 is a bolt that is detachably attached to the reinforcing support portion 300 and passes through the reinforcing support portion 300 and the seating surface 111c. The fourth attachment bolt 120 passes through the reinforcing support portion 300 and the seating surface 111c, and is fastened by screwing a nut onto it.
[0027] The reinforcing member 111 is a member made of, for example, aluminum or the like, and its cross-sectional shape can be selected appropriately to improve its strength. The cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing member 111 perpendicular to its extending direction is, for example, flat, L-shaped, I-shaped, or concave. The reinforcing member 111 shown in FIG. 1 is a flat-plate member. The thickness of the cross section perpendicular to its extending direction of the flat-plate reinforcing member 111 shown in FIG. 1 is preferably 0.5 mm or more and 10 mm or less. The cross-sectional thickness of the reinforcing member 111 can be determined by, for example, measuring the cross section of the reinforcing member 111 at three equally spaced positions with a vernier caliper and averaging the measurements. The reinforcing member 111 may be provided with holes to reduce its weight. The upper support portion 111a and the lower support portion 111b may be formed as a single unit. For example, a member having the upper support portion 111a and the lower support portion 111b may be formed as a single unit by bending a long metal plate having appropriate dimensions. Alternatively, the reinforcing member 111 may be formed such that the upper support portion 111a and the lower support portion 111b are formed as separate members, and then the upper support portion 111a and the lower support portion 111b are connected to each other by means of a bolting structure, rivets, welding, or the like.
[0028] According to this embodiment, the eaves gutter support 100 has a reinforcing member 111 that supports the roof A and the reinforcing support part 300. This gives the eaves gutter support 100 the strength to suppress the phenomenon of curling up when wind blows up from the ground toward the eaves gutter C along the wall surface 201a of the building 201, for example. Furthermore, the roof A may expand and contract due to heat, but even when the roof A expands and contracts, the eaves gutter support 100 can be held appropriately to the roof A.
[0029] Second Embodiment In the first embodiment, a reinforcing member 111 supports the roof A and the reinforcing support portion 300. In the second embodiment, a reinforcing member RM supports the wall surface 201a of the building 201 and the reinforcing support portion 300. In the second embodiment, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their description will be omitted, with differences being mainly described.
[0030] This embodiment will be described in detail with reference to Figures 2 to 4. Figure 2 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the state in which the eaves gutter C is supported by the eaves gutter support 100 according to this embodiment. In this embodiment, the reinforcing member RM is a reinforcing member 112 that supports the wall surface 201a of the building 201 and the reinforcing support part 300.
[0031] 2, the reinforcing member 112 includes a building support portion 112a connected to a wall surface 201a of the building 201, and a connection portion 112b extending from the building support portion 112a and connected to the reinforcing support portion 300. The cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing member 112 seen from the longitudinal direction (Z-axis direction) of the eaves gutter C is L-shaped. Building support part 112a is provided with seat 112c, and seat 112c is connected to wall surface 201a by fifth mounting bolt 124. Fifth mounting bolt 124 is a bolt that is detachably attached to wall surface 201a, passes through building support part 112a and wall surface 201a, and is fixed to wall surface 201a.
[0032] The connecting portion 112b is connected to the reinforcing support portion 300 by, for example, an attachment bolt. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the reinforcing member 112 has a seat 112d at the end of the connecting portion 112b, and the seat 111d is connected to the second piece 300b of the reinforcing support portion 300. The seat 111d of the reinforcing member 112 is connected to the second piece 300b of the reinforcing support portion 300 by a fourth attachment bolt 120. The fourth attachment bolt 120 is a bolt that is detachably attached to the reinforcing support portion 300 and passes through the reinforcing support portion 300 and the seat 111d. The fourth attachment bolt 120 passes through the reinforcing support portion 300 and the seat 111d, and is fastened by screwing a nut onto it.
[0033] The reinforcing member 112 is a member made of, for example, aluminum or the like, and its cross-sectional shape can be selected appropriately to improve its strength. The cross-sectional shape of the reinforcing member 112 perpendicular to its extending direction is, for example, flat, L-shaped, I-shaped, or concave. The reinforcing member 112 shown in FIG. 2 is a flat member. The cross-sectional thickness of the flat reinforcing member 112 shown in FIG. 2 perpendicular to its extending direction is preferably 0.5 mm or more and 10 mm or less. The cross-sectional thickness of the reinforcing member 112 can be determined by, for example, measuring the cross section of the reinforcing member 112 at three equally spaced positions with a vernier caliper and averaging the measurements. The reinforcing member 112 may be provided with holes to reduce its weight. The building support portion 112a and the connecting portion 112b may be formed as a single unit. For example, a metal plate having an elongated shape of appropriate dimensions may be bent to form a member having the building support portion 112a and the connecting portion 112b as a single unit. Alternatively, the building support portion 112a and the connecting portion 112b of the reinforcing member 112 may be formed as separate members, and then the building support portion 112a and the connecting portion 112b may be connected by means of a bolting structure, rivets, welding, or the like.
[0034] According to this embodiment, the eaves gutter support 100 has a reinforcing member 112 that supports the wall surface 201a of the building 201 and the reinforcing support part 300. This provides the eaves gutter support 100 with the strength to suppress the curling phenomenon caused by wind that blows up from the ground toward the eaves gutter C along the wall surface 201a of the building 201, etc.
[0035] The distance between the building 201 and the eaves gutter support 100 may not be constant. This distance varies, for example, depending on the longitudinal position of the eaves gutter C. For this reason, an elastic member is preferably used that can adjust the distance between the wall surface 201a of the building 201 and the reinforcing support 300 to match the distance between the wall surface 201a of the building 201 and the eaves gutter support 100. One example of a structure that can adjust the distance between the wall surface 201a of the building 201 and the reinforcing support 300 is a reinforcing member 113 in which the reinforcing member RM is a spring. FIG. 3 shows a case in which the reinforcing member 113 is a spring. The spring 113 (RM) connects the wall surface 201a of the building 201 and the reinforcing support 300, making it possible to adjust the distance between the wall surface 201a of the building 201 and the reinforcing support 300. The method of connecting the spring 113 to the wall surface 201a and the reinforcing support 300 is not limited.
[0036] Another example of a structure that can adjust the distance between the wall surface 201a of the building 201 and the reinforcing support part 300 is a reinforcing member 114 in which a slot 112e is provided in the connection part 112b of the reinforcing member 112. As shown in FIG. 4, the reinforcing member 114 (RM) has a slot 112e that is provided in the connection part 112b of the reinforcing member 112, and extends along the X-axis direction (the longitudinal direction of the connection part 112b). For example, a bolt (not shown) that passes through the second piece 300b of the reinforcing support part 300 passes through the slot 112e. The reinforcing member 114 and the reinforcing support part 300 are connected by the bolt. If the distance between the building 201 and the eaves gutter support 100 in the X-axis direction changes, the bolt that passes through the second piece 300b of the reinforcing support part 300 can move along the long hole 112e, making it possible to adjust the distance between the wall surface 201a of the building 201 and the reinforcing support part 300. The length of the elongated hole 112e in the X-axis direction is, for example, 10% to 80% of the length of the connecting portion 112b in the X-axis direction. The width of the elongated hole 112e (the length in the Z-axis direction in FIG. 2) may be any width that allows the bolt to move smoothly along the X-axis direction.
[0037] Another example of a structure that allows the distance between the wall surface 201a of the building 201 and the reinforcing support part 300 to be adjusted is a reinforcing member RM that is a member that can expand and contract in the X-axis direction, such as a wire, a piece of wire, a rope, or a cylinder.
[0038] According to this embodiment, the eaves gutter support 100 is capable of adjusting the distance between the wall surface 201a of the building 201 and the reinforcing support part 300 to match the distance between the wall surface 201a of the building 201 and the eaves gutter support 100. This provides the eaves gutter support 100 with the strength to suppress the phenomenon of curling up when wind blows up from the ground along the wall surface 201a of the building 201, etc., towards the eaves gutter C. Furthermore, the eaves gutter support 100 can be held appropriately on the roof A even when the roof A expands or contracts.
[0039] The connection position between the reinforcing support part 300 and the reinforcing member RM (111, 112, 113, 114) is preferably located downward from the center in the vertical direction of the support body 1. By using such a configuration, the curling phenomenon can be more effectively suppressed. Specifically, the connection position between the reinforcing support part 300 and the reinforcing member RM is preferably located downward (negative side in the Y-axis direction) from the center between the lower piece 12 and the horizontal piece 103 in the Y-axis direction (extension direction of the vertical piece 101 as seen from the longitudinal direction of the eaves gutter C). When the distance from the lower piece 12 to the horizontal piece 103 in the Y-axis direction is H (mm), the connection position between the reinforcing support part 300 and the reinforcing member RM is preferably 0.5H or less from the lower piece 12, more preferably 0.7H or lower from the lower piece 12, and even more preferably 0.8H or lower from the lower piece 12. The distance from the lower surface of the lower piece 12 to the lower surface of the horizontal piece 103 is defined as H. For example, in the case shown in FIG. 1 , the connection position between the reinforcing support part 300 and the reinforcing member RM is the portion where the seat surface 111c of the reinforcing member 111 and the second piece 300b of the reinforcing support part 300 abut. Even when the connection position between the reinforcing support part 300 and the reinforcing member RM is located above the center of the support body 1 in the vertical direction (above the 0.5H position), it is possible to suppress deformation and prevent curling up even when the roof A expands or contracts.
[0040] (First Modification) In order to prevent the eaves gutter C from being turned up by wind blowing from the ground along the wall surface 201a of the building 201 or the like, the support body 1 of the eaves gutter support 100 may be provided with a transition portion 20. Figure 5 shows the case where the eaves gutter support 100 according to the first embodiment is equipped with a transition portion 20. The transition portion 20 is connected to the vertical side engaging piece 107. The transition portion 20 is an inclined piece that extends so as to be inclined to the right (towards roof A) as it moves upward from the upper end of the vertical side engaging piece 107. The upper piece 11 is connected to the end of the transition portion 20 opposite to where the vertical side engaging piece 107 is connected. The transition portion 20 is connected to one end of the upper piece 11 and extends in a direction that intersects with the direction in which the upper piece 11 extends.
[0041] By providing the eaves gutter support 100 with the transition section 20, the moment acting on the upper piece 11 and the lower piece 12 due to wind blowing up from the ground toward the eaves gutter C along the wall surface 201a of the building 201 is suppressed, thereby further ensuring the strength of the eaves gutter support 100. Note that while Figure 5 shows the eaves gutter support 100 according to the first embodiment, the eaves gutter support 100 according to the second embodiment may also be provided with the transition section 20.
[0042] (Second Modification) The eaves gutter support 100 may have a shape as shown in FIG. 6. Specifically, the rectangular space formed by the rear panel BF and the front panel FF when viewed from the longitudinal direction of the eaves gutter C may be trapezoidal. The vertical side locking pieces 107 and the vertical pieces 101 may be configured to narrow downward. Furthermore, the eaves gutter support 100 may be provided with an adjustment member 60 on the vertical side locking pieces 107 and an adjustment member 61 on the vertical pieces 101. The adjustment member 60 is provided to connect the vertical side locking pieces 107 that are separated in the extension direction. The adjustment member 61 is provided to connect the vertical pieces 101 that are separated in the extension direction. The adjustment member 60 and the adjustment member 61 are connected to the vertical side locking pieces 107 and the vertical pieces 101, respectively, by a bolt fastening structure (not shown) or the like. By replacing the adjustment members 60 and 61 themselves, the height of the eaves gutter support 100 (the direction along the Y-axis in FIG. 1, etc.) can be adjusted.
[0043] When installing eaves gutters C at the eaves edge, they are installed with a slope in the connecting direction of the eaves gutters C for efficient drainage. To do this, it is necessary to adjust the height of the eaves gutter support 100 (the direction along the Y-axis in Figure 1, etc.) appropriately according to the slope of the eaves gutter C. By employing adjustment members 60 and 61, the height of the eaves gutter support 100 can be adjusted appropriately simply by replacing adjustment members 60 and 61.
[0044] (Third embodiment) In the third embodiment, a rain gutter system RG will be described with reference to Fig. 6. In this embodiment, the same components as those in the first and second embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their description will be omitted, with differences being mainly described.
[0045] Figure 6 shows an example of a gutter system RG according to this embodiment. The gutter system RG according to this embodiment includes the eaves gutter support 100 described in the first or second embodiment above. Figure 6 shows a case where the gutter system RG includes the eaves gutter support 100 according to the first embodiment. The gutter system RG includes an eaves gutter C supported by the eaves gutter support 100, and a downspout 50 connected to the eaves gutter C and extending downward. The downspout 50 is fitted with a drain member (drainage member) 51 for guiding rainwater to the bottom of the eaves gutter C. A connecting pipe such as an elbow pipe (not shown) may be connected between the downspout 50 and the drain member 51. The drain member 51 includes, for example, a lower drain member 52 and an upper drain member 53, and is attached to the eaves gutter C. The drain member 51 is fixed to the eaves gutter C with the lower drain member 52 and the upper drain member 53 sandwiching the eaves gutter C between them. The drain member 51 may or may not induce a siphoning phenomenon in the downspout 50. A siphon portion 54 is disposed above the upper drain member 53.
[0046] The material for forming the downspout 50 can be set arbitrarily. For example, the downspout 50 is an injection-molded product made of synthetic resin such as rigid polyvinyl chloride resin, polycarbonate, ABS, or AES. The downspout 50 is not limited to synthetic resin, and may be formed by casting cast iron, stainless steel, or aluminum. The downspout 50 may also be a double-layered fire-resistant pipe in which an inner pipe of rigid polyvinyl chloride is covered with an outer pipe of fiber mortar.
[0047] The gutter system RG according to this embodiment includes the eaves gutter support 100 described in the first or second embodiment. The eaves gutter support 100 is configured to be fixed to the building 201 by reinforcing members RM, so the gutter system RG has the strength to suppress the phenomenon of curling up when wind blows up from the ground toward the eaves gutter C along the wall surface 201a of the building 201, for example.
[0048] The technical scope of the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present disclosure. Furthermore, components in the above-described embodiments can be replaced with well-known components as appropriate.
[0049] The reinforcing support part 300 does not have to be a separate part from the support body 1, and for example, the reinforcing support part 300 may be a part of the support body 1. In this case, the reinforcing member RM may directly connect the building 201 and the support body 1. [Industrial Applicability]
[0050] The eaves gutter support and gutter system according to the present invention are extremely useful industrially because they have the strength to suppress the curling phenomenon. [Explanation of symbols]
