Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] The gutter support disclosed in Patent Document 1 is configured to support the edge and the middle part of the net member by rounding a part of the net member provided to cover the upper opening of the gutter in the gutter support. For this reason, the required size of the net member becomes large, resulting in an increase in cost.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a gutter support and a gutter structure capable of suppressing an increase in cost.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] The present invention has the following aspects. (1) One aspect of the gutter support according to the present invention is a gutter support attached to a building body for supporting a gutter, where a locking portion for locking an edge of a net member that opens upward and is inserted from above is provided on the building body side of an outer support portion that supports the side of the gutter opposite to the building body.

[0007] The above-described gutter support features an outer support portion that supports the gutter on the side opposite the building body. On the building body side of this outer support portion, a locking portion is provided that opens upward and locks the edge of a net member inserted from above. This eliminates the need to roll up a portion of the net member inside the gutter support to support the edge and middle portion of the net member, thus reducing the required size of the net member. Consequently, cost increases can be suppressed.

[0008] (2) In the embodiment described in (1) above, The locking portion has a pair of locking pieces that lock onto the edge of the net member, and the angle between the pair of locking pieces and the building body side with respect to the horizontal may be 45° to 70°.

[0009] In this case, the net components can be properly supported to accommodate various roof shapes.

[0010] (3) In the embodiment of (1) above, The locking portion has a pair of locking pieces that lock onto the edge of the net member, and of the pair of locking pieces, the locking piece on the side opposite to the building body may have a locking claw that protrudes toward the building body.

[0011] In this case, when the edge of the net member is inserted from above between the pair of locking pieces of the locking mechanism, the locking claws engage with the net member, preventing it from slipping out from between the pair of locking pieces. Therefore, the edge of the net member can be securely locked.

[0012] (4) In the embodiment of (1) above, A support body having an attachment portion to be attached to the building body, and an extension portion extending from the attachment portion toward the opposite side of the building body, including an inner support portion and an outer support portion that support the building body side of the eaves gutter, A locking member that is detachable from the support body and has the locking portion, It's fine if it has that feature.

[0013] In this case, when installing gutters of different shapes, the position of the locking member relative to the support body can be changed, allowing for the installation of gutters of different shapes. In addition, in addition to attaching the locking member to the support body during installation, it is also possible to retrofit only the locking member to an existing gutter support.

[0014] (5) In the embodiment described in (1) above, The mounting portion attached to the building body and the extension portion extending from the mounting portion to the side opposite to the building body, including the inner support portion that supports the building body side of the eaves gutter, the outer support portion, and the locking portion, may be integrally formed.

[0015] In this case, the gutter support can be constructed from a single component, thereby reducing the number of parts.

[0016] (6) One embodiment of the gutter structure according to the present invention is: A gutter support in any one form from (1) to (5), The gutter supported by the aforementioned gutter support, The locking portion is equipped with a net member whose edge opposite to the building body is locked to the locking portion, The net member has its other edge on the building body side in contact with the flashing material of the building body, and its middle portion in contact with the lower edge of the roofing material of the building body.

[0017] In the above-described embodiment of the eaves gutter structure, the eaves gutter support has a locking portion provided on the building body side of the outer support portion that supports the side of the eaves gutter opposite to the building body. The locking portion is open upward and locks the edge of the net member inserted from above. As a result, the required size of the net member can be kept small. Therefore, an increase in cost can be suppressed. Further, one edge of the net member on the side opposite to the building body is locked to the locking portion of the eaves gutter support, the other edge on the building body side abuts against the drainage member of the building body, and the middle portion abuts against the lower part of the tip of the roof member of the building body. Thus, the net member is supported at three points, and the net member can be supported easily and reliably. Moreover, since the net member can be pressed at the lower part of the tip of the roof member of the building body, the net member can be supported more reliably at three points. As a result, the net member can be attached with stable accuracy compared to the case of fixing the net member using a wire or the like. As a result, it is possible to prevent foreign matters such as dead leaves from entering the eaves gutter through the gaps.

Effects of the Invention

[0018] According to the present invention, an increase in cost can be suppressed.

[0020] The following describes the gutter support and gutter structure according to the present invention, with reference to the drawings.

[0021] [First Embodiment] A first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 5. As shown in Figure 1, the building 1 comprises a building body 11, a gutter support 12 according to the first embodiment, a gutter 13, and a net member 14. Here, the building body 11 is defined as the part of the building 1 excluding the gutter support 12, the gutter 13, and the net member 14.

[0022] The gutter structure 21 according to the first embodiment is provided on the eaves 30 that extend horizontally outward from the outer wall (not shown) of the building body 11. Hereinafter, in the gutter structure 21, the horizontal outward direction from which the eaves 30 extends from the outer wall (not shown) of the building body 11 will be referred to as the outward direction in the eaves direction, and the opposite direction will be referred to as the inward direction in the eaves direction. In other words, in the gutter structure 21, the outward direction in the eaves direction is on the opposite side from the building body 11, and the inward direction in the eaves direction is on the side of the building body 11. The horizontal direction connecting the outward and inward directions in the eaves direction will be referred to as the extension direction of the eaves 30.

[0023] The eaves 30 comprises a soffit 31, a fascia board 32, a decorative board 33, a roof decking board 34, a wide fascia board 35, a flashing 36, and a roofing material 37. The soffit 31 forms the lower part of the eaves 30. The soffit 31 extends outward in the direction of the eaves from the outer wall of the building body 11 (not shown). The soffit 31 is arranged approximately horizontally. The soffit 31 is made of wood, for example.

[0024] The fascia board 32 is positioned on the upper surface of the outer end of the soffit 31 in the direction of the eaves, and extends upward from the upper surface of the outer end of the soffit 31. The fascia board 32 spreads out perpendicular to the direction of extension of the eaves 30. The fascia board 32 is made of wood, for example. The decorative panel 33 is positioned on the outside of the eaves 31 and fascia board 32 in the direction of the eaves, and covers the eaves 31 and fascia board 32. The decorative panel 33 extends perpendicular to the direction of extension of the eaves 30. The decorative panel 33 is made of, for example, synthetic resin.

[0025] The roof sheathing board 34 is positioned above the fascia board 32 and the decorative board 33, and extends outward in the direction of the eaves, sloping downwards towards the front. The roof sheathing board 34 extends further outward in the direction of the eaves than the decorative board 33. The roof sheathing board 34 is made of wood, for example. The eaves board 35 is fixed to the upper surface of the outer end of the roof sheathing board 34 in the direction of the eaves. The eaves board 35 is made of wood, for example.

[0026] The flashing material 36 is positioned on top of the eaves 35 and has an eaves support portion 40 supported by the eaves 35 and a flat flashing body portion 41 that extends outward from the eaves 35 in a downward sloping direction. The flashing material 36 is made of, for example, steel plate. The flashing material 36 is included in the gutter structure 21 according to the first embodiment. The roofing material 37 is located on the upper part of the building body 11, and a portion of its outer side in the direction of the eaves constitutes the eaves 30. The portion of the roofing material 37 that constitutes the eaves 30 extends outward in the direction of the eaves beyond the fascia 35, sloping downwards toward the front. The roofing material 37 extends outward in the direction of the eaves beyond the fascia 35, in the same manner as the flashing material 36. The roofing material 37 is, for example, a tile. The roofing material 37 is included in the gutter structure 21 according to the first embodiment. The flashing material 36 has a support section 40 for the eaves 35, which is sandwiched between the eaves 35 and the roofing material 37.

[0027] The gutter support 12 according to the first embodiment is attached to the eaves 30 of the building body 11 and is included in the gutter structure 21 according to the first embodiment. The gutter support 12 according to the first embodiment has a support body 51 and a locking member 52. The support body 51 has a mounting portion 61 and an extension portion 62. The mounting portion 61 is plate-shaped and is attached in contact with the building body 11. Specifically, the mounting portion 61 is attached in contact with the outer surface of the decorative panel 33 of the building body 11 in the direction of the eaves. At that time, the mounting portion 61 is fixed to the decorative panel 33 in multiple places with screws or the like. When fixed to the decorative panel 33, the mounting portion 61 expands in the same way as the decorative panel 33. Hereinafter, the support body 51 will be described in the state in which it is fixed to the building body 11 at the mounting portion 61.

[0028] The extension portion 62 is located in the center of the mounting portion 61 in the left-right direction when the mounting portion 61 is viewed from the outside in the direction of the eaves. The portions of the mounting portion 61 that are on both sides of the extension portion 62 when the mounting portion 61 is viewed from the outside in the direction of the eaves are fixed to the building body 11 by screws or the like. The extension portion 62 extends from the mounting portion 61 to the opposite side of the building body 11, i.e., outward in the direction of the eaves. The extension portion 62 includes an inner support base portion 71, a lower extension portion 72, an inner support claw portion 73, a protruding portion 74, an upper extension portion 75, a locking portion arrangement portion 76, and an outer support portion 77.

[0029] The inner support base portion 71 protrudes outward from the mounting portion 61 in the direction of the eaves. The lower extension portion 72 extends approximately horizontally outward in the eaves direction from the upper end of the inner support base portion 71, then extends downwards towards the front, and then extends upwards towards the front outward in the eaves direction. The portion of the lower extension portion 72 that extends downwards towards the front has a continuous arc shape that is convex downwards. The inner support claw portion 73 is provided at the lower part of the lower extension portion 72. The inner support claw portion 73 protrudes toward the inner support base portion 71 from the portion of the lower extension portion 72 that faces the inner support base portion 71. The protruding portion 74 protrudes downward and outward in the direction of the eaves from the outer tip of the lower extension portion 72 in the direction of the eaves.

[0030] The upper extension portion 75 extends approximately horizontally outward in the eaves direction from the upper end portion above the lower extension portion 72 of the mounting portion 61, then extends downwards towards the front, and then extends upwards towards the front. The portion of the upper extension portion 75 that extends downwards towards the front and then upwards towards the front has a continuous downward-convex arc shape. The locking portion 76 extends outward in a nearly horizontal, linear manner from the outer tip of the upper extension portion 75 in the direction of the eaves. The outer tip of the lower extension portion 72 in the direction of the eaves is connected to the lower outer part of the locking portion 76 in the direction of the eaves. The outer support portion 77 protrudes upward from the outer tip of the locking portion arrangement portion 76 in the direction of the eaves. Therefore, the locking portion arrangement portion 76 and the outer support portion 77 are hook-shaped. The inner support base portion 71 and the inner support claw portion 73 constitute the inner support portion 81. Therefore, the extension portion 62 includes the inner support portion 81 and the outer support portion 77.

[0031] The support body 51 is made of, for example, metal or synthetic resin. The support body 51 is elastically deformable. Preferably, the support body 51 is integrally molded seamlessly into the shape described above. Here, the support body 51 is made of synthetic resin and integrally molded seamlessly. When the support body 51 is made of synthetic resin in this way, the material can be, for example, rigid polyvinyl chloride resin, propylene resin, polycarbonate resin, AES resin, or other synthetic resins, or FRP.

[0032] The locking member 52 is detachably attached to the locking portion arrangement portion 76 of the support body 51. Hereinafter, the locking member 52 will be described in the state in which it is attached to the locking portion arrangement portion 76 of the support body 51. The locking member 52 has a detachable portion 91 and a locking portion 92. As shown in Figure 2, the detachable part 91 has a mounting part 101 and a pair of detachable main body parts 102. The mounting portion 101 is flat. The pair of detachable main body portions 102 extend downward from both parallel edges facing opposite the mounting portion 101, and each has an extended plate portion 105 and a detachable claw portion 106. The extension plate portion 105 is flat and extends downward from the edge of the mounting portion 101. The attachment / detachment claw portion 106 protrudes from the lower edge of the extension plate portion 105 toward the other attachment / detachment body portion 102. The pair of attachment / detachment body portions 102 have their extension plate portions 105 parallel to each other, and their attachment / detachment claw portions 106 face each other and are closer together towards the protruding tip ends.

[0033] As shown in Figure 3, the locking member 52 is detachably engaged with the locking part placement section 76 of the support body 51 at the attachment / detachment section 91. When engaging the attachment / detachment section 91 with the locking part placement section 76, for example, a pair of attachment / detachment body parts 102 are positioned on the left and right sides when viewed from the outside in the direction of the eaves of the locking part placement section 76, and the attachment / detachment section 91 is pressed down onto the locking part placement section 76 from above. As a result, the pair of attachment / detachment claws 106 are pressed against the locking part placement section 76, causing the pair of attachment / detachment body parts 102 to elastically deform and open, and the mounting section 101 is placed on the upper surface of the locking part placement section 76. Almost simultaneously, the pair of attachment / detachment body parts 102 return from their elastically deformed state. As a result, the pair of attachment / detachment claws 106 that protrude toward each other from the lower part of the pair of attachment / detachment main body portions 102 face the lower surface of the locking portion arrangement portion 76, so that the attachment / detachment portion 91 engages with the locking portion arrangement portion 76 and the locking member 52 is attached to the locking portion arrangement portion 76.

[0034] When removing the detachable part 91 from the locking part arrangement part 76, for example, the detachable part 91 is pulled upward from the locking part arrangement part 76. Then, the locking part arrangement part 76 elastically deforms the pair of detachable main parts 102 so that they open, and the mounting part 101 moves upward away from the locking part arrangement part 76. Then, the pair of detachable main parts 102 move upward away from the locking part arrangement part 76 and return from their elastically deformed state, and the locking member 52 is removed from the locking part arrangement part 76.

[0035] The locking portion 92 has a pair of inner locking pieces 111 (locking piece), an outer locking piece 112 (locking piece), and an inclined portion 113. The inner locking piece portion 111 has an inner substrate portion 121 and an inner inclined plate portion 122. The inner base plate portion 121 is flat and extends approximately vertically upward from the inner edge of the mounting portion 101 in the direction of the eaves. The inner base plate portion 121 spreads out approximately parallel to the mounting portion 61 shown in Figure 1. As shown in Figure 3, the inner inclined plate portion 122 is flat and extends upward and inward in the direction of the eaves from the upper edge of the inner base plate portion 121. Therefore, the inner locking piece 111, which has an inner substrate portion 121 and an inner inclined plate portion 122, has a shape that is bent at an obtuse angle. The widths of the inner substrate portion 121 and the inner inclined plate portion 122 in the left-right direction when viewed along the extending direction of the eaves 30 are equivalent. This width, i.e., the width of the inner locking piece portion 111 in this direction, is shorter than the width of the mounting portion 101 in this direction, and the inner locking piece portion 111 is located in the center of the mounting portion 101 in this direction.

[0036] The outer locking piece 112 is positioned further outward in the eaves direction than the inner locking piece 111. The outer locking piece 112 has an outer base plate portion 131, an outer inclined plate portion 132, and a locking claw portion 133. The outer substrate portion 131 is flat and extends approximately vertically upward from the outside in the eaves direction of the mounting portion 101 compared to the inner substrate portion 121. The outer substrate portion 131 extends from the outer edge of the mounting portion 101 in the eaves direction. The outer substrate portion 131 spreads out approximately parallel to the inner substrate portion 121. The outer inclined plate portion 132 is flat and extends upward and inward in the direction of the eaves from the upper edge of the outer base plate portion 131. The outer inclined plate portion 132 extends approximately parallel to the inner inclined plate portion 122. Therefore, the outer locking piece 112, which has an outer substrate portion 131 and an outer inclined plate portion 132, has a shape that is bent at an obtuse angle. As shown in Figure 2(a), the widths of the outer substrate portion 131 and the outer inclined plate portion 132 are equivalent in the left-right direction when viewed along the extending direction of the eaves 30. This width, i.e., the width of the outer locking piece portion 112 in this direction, is shorter than the width of the mounting portion 101 in this direction, and the outer locking piece portion 112 is located in the center of the mounting portion 101 in this direction. The width of the outer locking piece portion 112 in this direction is equivalent to the width of the inner locking piece portion 111 in this direction, as shown in Figure 2(b).

[0037] The locking claw portion 133 protrudes inward in the direction of the eaves from the upper edge of the outer inclined plate portion 132. Therefore, of the pair of inner locking pieces 111 and outer locking pieces 112, the locking portion 92 has a locking claw portion 133 formed on the outer locking piece 112 that is on the side opposite to the building body 11, which protrudes toward the building body 11. The locking claw portion 133 protrudes downward from the outer inclined plate portion 132 to just before the inner inclined plate portion 122. The width of the locking claw portion 133 in the left-right direction when viewed along the extending direction of the eaves 30 is slightly shorter than the width of the outer inclined plate portion 132 in this direction, and the locking claw portion 133 is located in the center of the outer inclined plate portion 132 in this direction. The extension heights of the inner locking piece 111 and the outer locking piece 112 from the mounting portion 101 are equal. The locking portion 92 has an upward-opening shape.

[0038] Here, the angles of the outer inclined plate portion 132 and the inner inclined plate portion 122 relative to the horizontal on the building body 11 side are equivalent. Figure 2(b) shows this angle θ of the outer inclined plate portion 132, which is between 45° and 70°. The inclined portion 113 is provided on the mounting portion 101 between the inner base plate portion 121 of the inner locking piece portion 111 and the outer base plate portion 131 of the outer locking piece portion 112. The upper surface of the inclined portion 113 extends outward in the direction of the eaves, sloping downwards towards the front, from the midpoint of the vertical direction of the inner base plate portion 121 to the upper surface of the mounting portion 101 which is in front of the outer base plate portion 131. The inclined portion 113 has a width in the left-right direction when viewed along the extending direction of the eaves 30, which is smaller than the width of the inner locking piece 111 and the outer locking piece 112 in this direction, and is located in the center of the inner locking piece 111 in this direction.

[0039] The locking member 52 is made of, for example, metal or synthetic resin. Preferably, the locking member 52 is integrally molded without seams into the shape described above. When the locking member 52 is made of synthetic resin, for example, rigid polyvinyl chloride resin, propylene resin, polycarbonate resin, AES resin, or FRP can be used as the material.

[0040] As shown in Figure 1, the gutter support 12 has a length L in the direction of extension of the eaves 30, which is the length of the support body 51 in the direction of extension of the eaves 30, and this length L is 110 mm to 160 mm. Also, as shown in Figure 3, the gutter support 12 has a height H of the locking portion 92 of the locking member 52, that is, the height H of the inner locking piece 111 and the outer locking piece 112 from the upper surface of the mounting portion 101, which is 10 mm to 20 mm.

[0041] As shown in Figure 1, the gutter 13 is supported by the gutter support 12 and is positioned on the outer side of the eaves 30 in the direction of the eaves, below the roof decking 34, fascia board 35, flashing material 36, and roofing material 37. The following description assumes that the gutter 13 is supported by the gutter support 12. The gutter 13 has a bottom plate 141, an inner side plate 142, an outer side plate 143, an inner lug 144, and an outer lug 145.

[0042] The base plate 141 is in the shape of a strip, and it runs along the direction of extension of the eaves 30, extending left to right when viewed in the direction of extension of the eaves 30. The inner side plate 142 rises from the inner edge of the base plate 141 in the direction of the eaves, that is, from the edge on the building body 11 side. The inner side plate 142 also extends in the left-right direction when viewed in the direction of extension of the eaves 30. The outer side plate 143 rises from the outer edge of the base plate 141 in the direction of the eaves, that is, the edge opposite to the main building body 11. The outer side plate 143 also extends in the left-right direction when viewed in the direction of extension of the eaves 30. The inner ear portion 144 is provided at the upper end of the inner side plate 142, which is positioned on the inside in the direction of the eaves, so as to protrude outward in the direction of the eaves towards the other outer side plate 143. The inner ear portion 144 also extends in the left-right direction when viewed in the direction of extension of the eaves 30.

[0043] As shown in Figure 3, the outer ear portion 145 has an upper ear portion 151 and a lower ear portion 152. The upper lug portion 151 is provided near the upper end of the outer side plate 143, which is positioned on the outside in the direction of the eaves, so as to protrude inward in the direction of the eaves, that is, towards the inner side plate 142. The upper lug portion 151 also extends in the left-right direction when viewed in the direction of extension of the eaves 30. The upper ear portion 151 includes an inwardly extending portion 161 and a downwardly projecting portion 162. The inward extension portion 161 extends inward in the direction of the eaves from near the upper end of the outer side plate 143. The downward projection 162 protrudes downward from the inner end of the inward extension 161 in the direction of the eaves. Therefore, the upper lug portion 151, which has an inwardly extending portion 161 and a downwardly projecting portion 162, is hook-shaped. The lower ear portion 152 is provided so as to protrude from below the upper ear portion 151 of the outer side plate 143, in the direction of the eaves, that is, towards the inner side plate 142. The lower ear portion 152 also extends in the left-right direction when viewed in the direction of extension of the eaves 30.

[0044] As shown in Figure 1, the gutter 13 has a roughly U-shaped cross-section in a plane perpendicular to its extending direction, with its upper end opening upwards. The gutter 13 has an opening 146 between the inner ear portions 144 and the outer ear portions 145 on both sides.

[0045] The gutter 13 has an inner lug 144 that is supported by the inner support portion 81 of the gutter support 12, and an outer lug 145 that is supported by the outer support portion 77 of the gutter support 12. At this time, the inner ear portion 144 of the gutter 13 is provided between the inner support base portion 71 and the lower extension portion 72 of the inner support portion 81 of the gutter support 12, and is supported from below by the inner support claw portion 73. Also, as shown in Figure 3, the upper ear portion 151 of the outer ear portion 145 of the gutter 13 is supported from below by the outer support portion 77 of the gutter support 12 at the inward extension portion 161. In this state, the upper ear portion 151 of the outer ear portion 145 engages with the inner side of the outer support portion 77 of the gutter support 12 in the direction of the eaves at the downward projection portion 162. Also, in this state, the lower ear portion 152 of the outer ear portion 145 fits between the outer support portion 77 and the locking portion arrangement portion 76 of the gutter support 12 and the projection portion 74. The lower ear portion 152 of the outer ear portion 145 abuts against the locking portion arrangement portion 76 of the gutter support 12, even when the outer ear portion 145 moves upward relative to the gutter support 12, thereby preventing the downward protrusion 162 from the outer support portion 77 from coming off.

[0046] The gutter 13 is made of metal or synthetic resin, etc. Preferably, the gutter 13 is integrally molded without seams. The gutter 13 is elastically deformable. Here, the gutter 13 is made of synthetic resin. When the gutter 13 is made of synthetic resin, the material of the gutter 13 can be arbitrarily selected from single resin, composite (multilayer) resin, single metal, or composite material in which metal is coated with resin, etc. In the first embodiment, the gutter 13 is an extruded product formed from, for example, rigid polyvinyl chloride resin or synthetic resin such as ABS or AES. Therefore, the gutter 13 is integrally molded without seams.

[0047] When supporting the eaves gutter 13 with a gutter support 12 fixed to the building body 11 at the support body 51, for example, first, the outer ear portion 145 of the eaves gutter 13 is pressed inward from the outside in the eaves direction so that the outer support portion 77 and the locking portion arrangement portion 76 of the support body 51 are pressed into the space between the upper ear portion 151 and the lower ear portion 152. As a result, the outer support portion 77 pushes up the downward projection 162 of the upper ear portion 151, mainly causing elastic deformation of the inward extension portion 161. When the outer support portion 77 is positioned further outward in the eaves direction than the downward projection 162 of the upper ear portion 151, the inward extension portion 161 of the upper ear portion 151 returns to its original state from elastic deformation. As a result, the outer support portion 77 engages with the downward projection 162 of the upper ear portion 151, preventing the upper ear portion 151 from disengaging from the outer support portion 77 and the locking portion arrangement portion 76. At this time, the locking member 52, which is attached to the locking portion arrangement portion 76, is pushed by the upper ear portion 151 and positioned inward relative to the upper ear portion 151 in the eaves direction. In this state, the locking member 52 is slightly movable in both the inward and outward directions in the eaves direction within the locking portion arrangement portion 76.

[0048] Subsequently, the inner ear portion 144 shown in Figure 1 is pushed from below between the inner support base portion 71 and the inner support claw portion 73 of the support body 51. This causes the inner ear portion 144 to push the inner support claw portion 73 outward in the direction of the eaves, moving the inner support claw portion 73 outward in the direction of the eaves, mainly by elastically deforming the lower extension portion 72. When the inner ear portion 144 is positioned above the inner support claw portion 73, the lower extension portion 72 returns to its original elastic state. As a result, the inner support claw portion 73 engages with the inner ear portion 144, preventing the inner ear portion 144 from disengaging from the inner support base portion 71 and the inner support claw portion 73. In this way, the gutter 13 is supported by the gutter support 12.

[0049] Alternatively, the support body 51 may be used to support the gutter 13 before the locking member 52 is attached, and then the locking member 52 may be attached by pressing it in from above onto the inside of the locking portion arrangement 76 of the support body 51, in the direction of the eaves, beyond the upper lug portion 151.

[0050] The net member 14 is provided to cover the gutter 13 from above. The net member 14 is included in the gutter structure 21 according to the first embodiment. The net member 14 is formed in a grid shape having a plurality of vertical line portions 171 arranged in parallel at equal intervals and a plurality of horizontal line portions 172 arranged at equal intervals perpendicular to the vertical line portions 171. The space enclosed by adjacent vertical line portions 171 and adjacent horizontal line portions 172 forms the mesh portion 173. The net member 14 as a whole has a shape that curves in an arc shape around an axis along the direction of extension of the vertical line portions 171.

[0051] Here, the gap between adjacent vertical lines 171 is greater than the thickness of the locking claw portion 133 of the outer locking piece 112 of the locking member 52. The gap between adjacent horizontal lines 172 is greater than the width, which is the length of the locking claw portion 133 in the left-right direction when viewed in the extending direction of the eaves 30. The diameters of the vertical lines 171 and horizontal lines 172 are greater than the length of the gap between the locking claw portion 133 of the outer locking piece 112 of the locking member 52 and the inner locking piece 111. As a result, when the edge of the net member 14 is inserted from above between the locking claw portion 133 of the outer locking piece 112 of the locking member 52 and the inner locking piece 111, the vertical line portion 171 of the edge of the net member 14 elastically deforms, pushing down the locking claw portion 133 and spreading the inner locking piece 111 and the outer locking piece 112 apart. When the locking claw portion 133 is positioned within the mesh portion 173, the inner locking piece 111 and the outer locking piece 112, including the locking claw portion 133, return to their original elastic state. In this way, the locking claw portion 133 positioned within the mesh portion 173 prevents the mesh portion 173 from disengaging from the locking claw portion 133. Figures 1 and 3 show the state in which the locking claw portion 133 is engaged with the mesh portion 173 between the second and third vertical line portions 171, counting from the outermost vertical line portion 171, that constitute the edge of the net member 14. Note that the diameters of the vertical line portions 171 and horizontal line portions 172 may be smaller than the length of the gap between the locking claw portion 133 of the outer locking piece portion 112 of the locking member 52 and the inner locking piece portion 111.

[0052] The net member 14 is made of metal or synthetic resin, etc. The net member 14 is elastically deformable. In this case, the net member 14 is made of synthetic resin. When the net member 14 is made of synthetic resin, it can be a single molded product of a synthetic resin such as polypropylene. During manufacturing, the net member 14 is molded in an arc shape with its center in the direction of extension of the vertical line portion 171.

[0053] When attaching the net member 14 to the eaves 30, the worker aligns the net member 14 with the direction of the vertical line portion 171 in the direction of the extension of the gutter 13, and curves it upward in a convex shape so as to cover the opening 146 of the gutter 13 from above. For example, first, the worker brings the inner edge in the direction of the eaves to contact the upper surface of the flashing body portion 41 of the flashing material 36 at an intermediate position in the direction of the extension of the eaves 30. Next, the worker brings the net member 14 to contact the lower end of the outer end of the roofing material 37 in the direction of the eaves, at an intermediate position in the direction of the extension of the eaves 30, and inserts and pushes the outer edge in the direction of the eaves from above between the inner locking piece 111 and the outer locking piece 112 of the locking portion 92 of the locking member 52 of the gutter support 12. Then, the net member 14 elastically deforms so that the outermost vertical line portion 171 of the outer edge in the direction of the eaves pushes down the locking claw portion 133 of the outer locking piece portion 112 of the locking portion 92, while opening the inner locking piece portion 111 and the outer locking piece portion 112. When this vertical line portion 171 is positioned below the locking claw portion 133 of the outer locking piece portion 112, the inner locking piece portion 111 and the outer locking piece portion 112, including the locking claw portion 133, return from elastic deformation, and the locking claw portion 133 enters the mesh portion 173 between this outermost vertical line portion 171 and the second vertical line portion 171 from the end that is adjacent to this vertical line portion 171 in the direction of the eaves. Here, the worker further pushes the outer edge of the net member 14 in the direction of the eaves from above, between the inner locking piece 111 and the outer locking piece 112 of the locking portion 92 of the locking member 52 of the gutter support 12. Then, the net member 14 elastically deforms so that the second vertical line portion 171 from the end of the outer edge in the direction of the eaves pushes down the locking claw portion 133 of the outer locking piece portion 112 of the locking portion 92, and opens the inner locking piece portion 111 and the outer locking piece portion 112. When this vertical line portion 171 is positioned below the locking claw portion 133 of the outer locking piece portion 112, the inner locking piece portion 111 and the outer locking piece portion 112 including the locking claw portion 133 return from elastic deformation, and the locking claw portion 133 enters the mesh portion 173 between the second vertical line portion 171 from this end and the third vertical line portion 171 from the end that is adjacent to this vertical line portion 171 in the direction of the eaves. As a result, the locking claw portion 133 restricts the detachment of the outer edge of the net member 14 in the direction of the eaves.

[0054] In this installed state, the net member 14 is curved upward in a convex shape, with one outer edge in the eaves direction locked to the locking portion 92 of the locking member 52 of the gutter support 12, and the other inner edge in the eaves direction abuts against the intermediate position of the flashing body portion 41 of the flashing material 36 in the direction of extension of the eaves 30. Also in this state, the middle portion of the net member 14 in the direction of extension of the eaves 30 abuts against the lower tip of the roofing material 37 of the building body 11. In this state, the net member 14 undergoes slight elastic deformation from its curved shape during molding. As a result, the locking member 52 of the gutter support 12 is pressed by the net member 14, and its outer locking piece 112 abuts against the inner end in the eaves direction of the upper ear portion 151 of the outer ear portion 145 of the gutter 13. Furthermore, the net member 14 is supported at three points by its own elastic force: one outer edge in the direction of the eaves is pressed against the outer locking piece 112 of the locking part 92; the other inner edge in the direction of the eaves is pressed against the main body 41 of the flashing material 36; and the middle part in the direction of extension of the eaves 30 is pressed against the lower end of the tip of the roofing material 37 of the building body 11.

[0055] Furthermore, due to its own elastic force, the net member 14 has one outer edge in the eaves direction pressed against the outer locking piece 112 of the locking part 92, thereby preventing the mesh portion 173 from coming off the locking claw portion 133. For this reason, even if the diameters of the vertical wire portion 171 and the horizontal wire portion 172 are smaller than the length of the gap between the locking claw portion 133 of the outer locking piece 112 of the locking member 52 and the inner locking piece 111, the mesh portion 173 will not come off the locking claw portion 133. Here, the length of the locking portion arrangement portion 76 to which the locking member 52 of the support body 51 is attached, in the direction of extension of the eaves 30, is such that the locking member 52 can be moved in accordance with the various thicknesses of the downward projection 162 of the upper ear portion 151 of the eaves gutter 13 in the direction of extension of the eaves 30.

[0056] As described above, the gutter support 12 has a locking portion 92 on the building body 11 side of the outer support portion 77 that supports the gutter 13 on the side opposite to the building body 11. This locking portion opens upward and locks onto the edge of the net member 14 that is inserted from above. The gutter support 12 also has a pair of inner locking pieces 111 and outer locking pieces 112 that lock onto the edge of the net member 14, with the angle between the inner locking piece 111 and outer locking piece 112 and the building body 11 side being 45° to 70° with respect to the horizontal. Furthermore, the gutter support 12 has a locking claw portion 133 formed on the outer locking piece 112, which is on the side opposite to the building body 11, that protrudes toward the building body 11. Furthermore, the gutter support 12 includes a support body 51 having a mounting portion 61 that is attached to the building body 11, and an extension portion 62 that extends from the mounting portion 61 toward the opposite side of the building body 11, including an inner support portion 81 that supports the building body 11 side of the gutter 13 and an outer support portion 77 that supports the opposite side of the gutter 13 from the building body 11, and a locking member 52 that is detachable from the support body 51 and has a locking portion 92 that opens upward and locks the edge of the net member 14 that is inserted from above.

[0057] The gutter structure 21 according to the first embodiment includes a gutter support 12, a gutter 13 supported by the gutter support 12, and a net member 14 whose edge opposite to the building body 11 is locked to a locking portion 92 of the gutter support 12. The net member 14 has a structure in which the other edge on the building body 11 side abuts against the flashing material 36 of the building body 11, and the middle part abuts against the lower tip of the roofing material 37 of the building body 11.

[0058] The gutter support 12 according to the first embodiment described above is provided with a locking portion 92 on the building body 11 side of the outer support portion 77 that supports the gutter 13 on the side opposite to the building body 11. This locking portion opens upward and locks the edge of the net member 14 that is inserted from above. As a result, it is not necessary to round a part of the net member 14 inside the gutter support 12 to support the edge and middle portion of the net member 14, thus reducing the required size of the net member 14. Therefore, cost increases can be suppressed.

[0059] Furthermore, the gutter support 12 has a locking portion 92 which has a pair of inner locking pieces 111 and outer locking pieces 112 that lock onto the edge of the net member 14, and the angle of the pair of inner locking pieces 111 and outer locking pieces 112 relative to the horizontal on the building body 11 side is 45° to 70°. This allows the net member 14 to be well supported in accordance with various roof shapes. For example, if the angle of the pair of inner locking pieces 111 and outer locking pieces 112 relative to the horizontal on the building body 11 side is 70°, it is suitable for supporting the net member 14 in accordance with a 3-inch slope, and if the angle of the pair of inner locking pieces 111 and outer locking pieces 112 relative to the horizontal on the building body 11 side is 45°, it is suitable for supporting the net member 14 in accordance with a 10-inch slope, and so on, making it suitable for supporting the net member 14 in accordance with various roofs from 3-inch to 10-inch slopes.

[0060] Furthermore, the gutter support 12 has a locking claw portion 133 formed on the outer locking piece 112, which is on the side opposite to the building body 11, of the pair of inner locking pieces 111 and outer locking pieces 112 of the locking portion 92, and which protrudes toward the building body 11. As a result, when the edge of the net member 14 is inserted from above between the pair of inner locking pieces 111 and outer locking pieces 112 of the locking portion 92, the locking claw portion 133 engages with the net member 14, preventing the net member 14 from coming loose between the pair of inner locking pieces 111 and outer locking pieces 112. Thus, the edge of the net member 14 can be securely locked.

[0061] Furthermore, the gutter support 12 includes a support body 51 having a mounting portion 61 attached to the building body 11, an extension portion 62 extending from the mounting portion 61 toward the opposite side of the building body 11, including an inner support portion 81 that supports the building body 11 side of the gutter 13 and an outer support portion 77 that supports the opposite side of the gutter 13 from the building body 11, and a locking member 52 that is detachable from the support body 51 and has a locking portion 92 that opens upward and locks the edge of the net member 14 inserted from above. As a result, as shown in Figures 1 and 4, when attaching gutters 13 of different shapes to the gutter support 12, the position of the locking member 52 relative to the support body 51 can be changed, making it possible to accommodate the attachment of gutters 13 of different shapes. In addition, in addition to attaching the locking member 52 to the support body 51 during construction, it is also possible to retrofit only the locking member 52 to an existing gutter support.

[0062] In the gutter structure 21 according to the first embodiment, the outer support portion 77 of the gutter support 12, which supports the gutter 13 on the side opposite to the building body 11, is provided with a locking portion 92 that opens upward and locks the edge of the net member 14 inserted from above. This eliminates the need to round a part of the net member 14 inside the gutter support 12 to support the edge and middle portion of the net member 14, thus reducing the required size of the net member 14. Therefore, cost increases can be suppressed. Furthermore, the net member 14 is supported at three points: one edge opposite to the building body 11 is locked to the locking portion 92 of the gutter support 12, the other edge on the building body 11 side abuts against the flashing material 36 of the building body 11, and the middle portion abuts against the lower tip of the roofing material 37 of the building body 11. This allows the net member 14 to be supported easily and reliably. Furthermore, since the net member 14 can be compressed at the lower tip of the roofing material 37 of the building body 11, the net member 14 can be supported more securely at three points. As a result, the net member 14 can be installed with more stable precision compared to when the net member 14 is fixed using wire or the like. Consequently, it is possible to prevent foreign objects such as fallen leaves from entering the gutter 13 through the gaps.

[0063] In the gutter support 12 and gutter structure 21 according to the first embodiment described above, the case in which the inner locking piece 111 and the outer locking piece 112 of the locking member 52 are bent was described as an example. However, as a modification, it is also possible to have a shape in which at least one of the inner locking piece 111 and the outer locking piece 112 is curved upward from the mounting portion 101, with the upper part being located inward in the direction of the eaves. For example, as shown in Figure 5, a locking member 52a that is partially different from the locking member 52 is used instead of the locking member 52. The locking member 52a has a locking part 92a that is partially different from the locking part 92 instead of the locking part 92. The locking part 92a has an outer locking piece 112a that is partially different from the outer locking piece 112 instead of the outer locking piece 112. The outer locking piece 112a has a curved plate portion 131a instead of the outer base portion 131 and the outer inclined plate portion 132. The curved plate portion 131a is shaped to curve upward from the mounting portion 101, with the upper part being positioned inward towards the eaves. The locking claw portion 133 of the outer locking piece 112a extends downward from the upper end of the curved plate portion 131a towards the inner locking piece 111. Alternatively, although not shown in the figures, it is possible to have only the inner locking piece 111 of the inner locking piece 111 and outer locking piece 112 curve upward from the mounting portion 101, with the upper part being positioned inward towards the eaves, or to have both the inner locking piece 111 and the outer locking piece 112 curve upward from the mounting portion 101, with the upper part being positioned inward towards the eaves.

[0064] [Second Embodiment] A second embodiment of the present invention will be described primarily with reference to Figure 6, focusing on the differences from the first embodiment. Parts identical to those in the first embodiment are indicated by the same designations and reference numerals. As shown in Figure 6, the gutter support 12A according to the second embodiment has a support body portion 51A that is substantially the same shape as the support body 51 of the first embodiment. However, the extension portion 62A of the support body portion 51A is partially different from the extension portion 62 of the support body 51. The extension portion 62A has a locking portion 92A seamlessly and integrally provided in the locking portion arrangement portion 76, which has an inner locking piece portion 111, an outer locking piece portion 112A that is partially different from the outer locking piece portion 112, and an inclined portion 113.

[0065] The inner locking piece 111 of the locking portion 92A has an inner base plate portion 121 that extends substantially vertically upward from the locking portion arrangement portion 76 of the extension portion 62A. The width of the inner locking piece 111 of the locking portion 92A in the left-right direction when viewed along the extending direction of the eaves 30 is shorter than the width of the locking portion arrangement portion 76 of the extension portion 62A in this direction, and the inner locking piece 111 is located in the center of the locking portion arrangement portion 76 in this direction.

[0066] The outer locking piece 112A of the locking portion 92A has a curved plate portion 131A and a locking claw portion 133. The outer locking piece 112A is positioned further outward in the eaves direction than the inner locking piece 111 of the locking piece arrangement portion 76 of the extension portion 62A. The curved plate portion 131A extends upward from the outer side in the eaves direction than the inner base plate portion 121 of the locking piece arrangement portion 76, and curves upward so that the upper part is positioned further inward in the eaves direction. The width of the curved plate portion 131A in the left-right direction when viewed along the extending direction of the eaves 30 is shorter than the width of the locking piece arrangement portion 76 of the extension portion 62A in this direction, and the curved plate portion 131A is located in the center of the locking piece arrangement portion 76 in this direction. The width of the outer locking piece 112A of the extension portion 62A in this direction is equal to the width of the inner locking piece 111 of the extension portion 62A in this direction.

[0067] The locking claw portion 133 of the outer locking piece 112A protrudes inward in the direction of the eaves from the upper end of the curved plate portion 131A. The locking claw portion 133 protrudes downward from the curved plate portion 131A to just before the inner inclined plate portion 122 of the inner locking piece 111. The width of the locking claw portion 133 in the left-right direction when viewed along the extending direction of the eaves 30 is slightly shorter than the width of the outer locking piece portion 112A in this direction, and the locking claw portion 133 is located in the center of the outer locking piece portion 112A in this direction. The extension heights of the inner locking piece 111 and the outer locking piece 112A from the upper surface of the locking piece arrangement portion 76 of the extension portion 62A are equal. The locking portion 92A has an upward-opening shape.

[0068] The inclined portion 113 is provided on the locking portion arrangement portion 76 of the extended portion 62A, between the inner base plate portion 121 of the inner locking piece portion 111 and the curved plate portion 131A of the outer locking piece portion 112A. The upper surface of the inclined portion 113 extends outward in the eaves direction, sloping downwards towards the front, from the midpoint of the vertical direction of the inner base plate portion 121 to the upper surface of the locking portion arrangement portion 76 which is in front of the curved plate portion 131A. The inclined portion 113 has a width in the left-right direction when viewed along the extending direction of the eaves 30, which is smaller than the width of the inner locking piece 111 and the outer locking piece 112A in this direction, and is located in the center of the inner locking piece 111 in this direction.

[0069] The gutter support 12A is made of, for example, metal or synthetic resin. The gutter support 12A is elastically deformable. The gutter support 12A is integrally molded seamlessly into the shape described above. In this case, the gutter support 12A is made of synthetic resin. When the gutter support 12A is made of synthetic resin, for example, rigid polyvinyl chloride resin, propylene resin, polycarbonate resin, AES resin, or FRP can be used.

[0070] When the eaves gutter 13 is supported by the eaves gutter support 12A, it will be supported by the support body 51A, which is the same as when the eaves gutter 13 is supported by the support body 51 in the first embodiment.

[0071] When attaching the net member 14 to the eaves 30, the worker aligns the net member 14 with the direction of the vertical line portion 171 in the direction of the extension of the gutter 13, and curves it upward in a convex shape so as to cover the opening 146 of the gutter 13 from above. For example, first, the worker brings the inner edge in the direction of the eaves to contact the upper surface of the flashing body portion 41 of the flashing material 36 at an intermediate position in the direction of the extension of the eaves 30. Next, the worker brings the net member 14 to contact the lower end of the outer end of the roofing material 37 in the direction of the eaves, at an intermediate position in the direction of the extension of the eaves 30, and inserts and pushes the outer edge in the direction of the eaves from above between the inner locking piece 111 and the outer locking piece 112A of the locking portion 92A of the gutter support 12A. Then, the net member 14 elastically deforms so that the outermost vertical line portion 171 of the outer edge in the direction of the eaves pushes down the locking claw portion 133 of the outer locking piece portion 112A of the locking portion 92A, while opening the inner locking piece portion 111 and the outer locking piece portion 112A. When this vertical line portion 171 is positioned below the locking claw portion 133 of the outer locking piece portion 112A, the inner locking piece portion 111 and the outer locking piece portion 112A, including the locking claw portion 133, return from elastic deformation, and the locking claw portion 133 enters the mesh portion 173 between this outermost vertical line portion 171 and the second vertical line portion 171 from the end that is adjacent to this vertical line portion 171 in the direction of the eaves. Here, the worker further pushes the outer edge of the net member 14 in the direction of the eaves from above between the inner locking piece 111 and the outer locking piece 112A of the locking part 92A of the gutter support 12A. Then, the net member 14 elastically deforms so that the second vertical line portion 171 from the end of the outer edge in the direction of the eaves pushes down the locking claw portion 133 of the outer locking piece portion 112A of the locking portion 92A, and opens the inner locking piece portion 111 and the outer locking piece portion 112A. When this vertical line portion 171 is positioned below the locking claw portion 133 of the outer locking piece portion 112A, the inner locking piece portion 111 and the outer locking piece portion 112A, including the locking claw portion 133, return from elastic deformation, and the locking claw portion 133 enters the mesh portion 173 between the second vertical line portion 171 from this end and the third vertical line portion 171 from the end that is adjacent to this vertical line portion 171 in the direction of the eaves. As a result, the locking claw portion 133 restricts the detachment of the outer edge of the net member 14 in the direction of the eaves.

[0072] Therefore, the gutter support 12A is provided with an outer support portion 77 on the building body 11 side of the gutter 13 that supports the side of the gutter 13 opposite to the building body 11, and a locking portion 92A that opens upward and locks onto the edge of the net member 14 inserted from above. The gutter support 12A is integrally formed with an attachment portion 61 that is attached to the building body 11, an inner support portion 81 that supports the side of the gutter 13 that supports the side of the gutter 13 that supports the side of the gutter 13 opposite to the building body 11, an outer support portion 77 that supports the side of the gutter 13 opposite to the building body 11, and an extension portion 62A that extends from the attachment portion 61 to the side opposite to the building body 11, including the locking portion 92A that locks onto the edge of the net member 14 inserted from above.

[0073] As described above, in the gutter support 12A according to the second embodiment, the mounting portion 61 and the extension portion 62A including the inner support portion 81, the outer support portion 77, and the locking portion 92A are integrally formed, making it possible to construct the gutter support 12A as a single part, and thus reducing the number of parts.

[0074] In the gutter support 12A according to the second embodiment described above, as a modification, instead of the curved outer locking piece 112A, a bent outer locking piece 112 having an outer base plate portion 131 and an outer inclined plate portion 132, similar to the gutter support 12 according to the first embodiment, can be integrally provided on the locking piece arrangement portion 76 of the extension portion 62A. In addition to the curved outer locking piece 112A, an inner locking piece 111 can also be integrally provided on the locking piece arrangement portion 76 of the extension portion 62A, with a shape that curves so that the upper part is located inward in the direction of the eaves. Alternatively, instead of the outer locking piece 112A, a bent outer locking piece 112 can be integrally provided on the locking piece arrangement portion 76 of the extension 62A, and the inner locking piece 111 can be integrally provided on the locking piece arrangement portion 76 of the extension 62A with a curved shape so that the upper part is located inward in the direction of the eaves.

[0075] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to these embodiments, and modifications, combinations, deletions, etc., of the configuration are also included without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
