[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2008-280794 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, the reinforcing plate for the folded plate hanging fitting (eaves gutter support) disclosed in Patent Document 1 had the problem that when the bottom area of ​​the eaves gutter is large, it is difficult to grip only the ears provided on the upper side of the eaves gutter in terms of strength. In addition, since large gutters are subjected to large wind pressure and the support fixture is larger than the hanging fixture, there was also the inherent problem that increasing the strength would result in excessive cost and weight.

[0005] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and has an object to provide an eaves gutter support that is lightweight and inexpensive while having the strength to prevent the curling phenomenon. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes the following means. An eaves gutter support according to one embodiment of the present invention is an eaves gutter support that supports an eaves gutter while being suspended from an eaves edge, and comprises a front material and a rear material between which the eaves gutter is positioned, and a reinforcing member that reinforcing at least one of the upper part of the front material, which is the part of the front material that is located above the eaves gutter, and the upper part of the rear material, which is the part of the rear material that is located above the eaves gutter.

[0007] According to the above configuration, the reinforcing member reinforces at least one of the upper part of the front material and the upper part of the rear material. This makes it possible to prevent the eaves gutter support from being locally deformed by the wind even when the eaves edge support suspended from the eaves edge is hit by a strong wind. This makes it possible to prevent the eaves edge support from being rolled up, which is a deformation caused by the eaves edge support being rolled up. In addition, it is possible to prevent an increase in the cost and weight of the eaves gutter support while improving its strength.

[0008] In one embodiment of the eaves gutter support of the present invention, the reinforcing member may be a diagonal brace attached to the upper part of the front material and the upper part of the rear material so as to connect the upper part of the front material and the upper part of the rear material.

[0009] According to the above configuration, the reinforcing member is a brace attached to the upper part of the front material and the upper part of the rear material so as to connect the upper part of the front material and the upper part of the rear material. Therefore, even if the eaves support device hung from the eaves is hit by a strong wind, local deformation of the eaves gutter support device can be prevented. Therefore, the eaves support device can be prevented from being rolled up, which is a deformation. Furthermore, even if a strong wind exceeding the above-mentioned strength is received, the upper part of the rear panel, which is in the position most susceptible to deformation by the wind in terms of the force moment, is strongly reinforced by the braces, so the eaves gutter support device as a whole can deform. This reduces damage to the eaves edge and maintains the drainage function of the gutter, even if a strong wind exceeding the above-mentioned strength is received.

[0010] In one aspect of the present invention, the eaves gutter support may be such that the reinforcing member is a reinforcing plate superimposed on at least one of an upper portion of the front material and an upper portion of the rear material.

[0011] According to the above configuration, the reinforcing member is a reinforcing plate superimposed on at least one of the upper part of the front material and the upper part of the rear material. Therefore, even if the eaves end support attached to the tip of the eaves end board of the roof is hit by a strong wind, the eaves gutter support can be prevented from being locally deformed by the wind. Therefore, the eaves end support can be prevented from being rolled up, which is a deformation. In addition, the strength of the eaves end support main body can be improved while preventing an increase in cost and weight of the eaves gutter support.

[0012] In the eaves gutter support according to one aspect of the present invention, the reinforcing member may be a clip attached so as to clamp at least the upper portion of the front material.

[0013] According to the above-mentioned configuration, the reinforcing member is a clip attached so as to clamp at least the upper part of the front material. Therefore, even if the eaves support device hung from the eaves is subjected to a strong wind, local deformation of the eaves gutter support device can be prevented. Therefore, the eaves support device can be prevented from being rolled up, which is a deformation. Furthermore, even if a strong wind exceeding the above-mentioned strength is received, the clips reinforce the upper part of the front material, which is in the position most susceptible to deformation by the wind in terms of the force moment, so the eaves gutter support can deform as a whole. This reduces damage to the eaves edge and maintains the drainage function of the gutter, even if a strong wind exceeding the above-mentioned strength is received. Furthermore, by using clips as the reinforcing members, they can be attached later to eaves supports that do not have reinforcing members. Also, since the installation can be easily performed, work efficiency is improved.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present invention, the eaves gutter support includes a rear panel comprising a support main body having a lower piece and an upper piece which form a recess into which the tip of the eaves board can be inserted, a vertical piece extending downward from the lower piece, and a horizontal piece extending from the end of the vertical piece furthest from the support main body, the front panel comprising a vertical side engaging piece extending upward from the end of the horizontal piece furthest from the vertical piece and supported by the horizontal piece in a removably attachable and detachable manner, and an attachment piece attached to the vertical side engaging piece and positioned above the upper piece and having an extending piece which can be attached to the upper piece, the eaves gutter being supported in the portion surrounded by the vertical piece, the horizontal piece and the vertical side engaging piece, and the reinforcing member may join the rear panel and the attachment piece so as to avoid the eaves gutter, thereby reinforcing the rear panel and the attachment piece.

[0015] Furthermore, an eaves gutter support according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a first mounting bolt that is removably attached to the support main body and passes through the upper piece and the lower piece, and a second mounting bolt that is removably attached to the extension piece and passes through the extension piece, the upper piece and the lower piece, and the reinforcing member may be attached separately from the second mounting bolt.

[0016] With the above configuration, the tip of the eaves board is inserted into the recess of the support body, and the first mounting bolt that penetrates the upper piece of the support body, the tip of the eaves board, and the lower piece allows the eaves gutter support to be temporarily fixed to the tip of the eaves board in a stable state. In this state, by changing the position of the vertical side locking piece extending above the tip of the horizontal piece to open a space to the side of the horizontal piece, the eaves gutter can be installed along the horizontal piece and the vertical piece, and the eaves gutter can be temporarily supported. After installing the eaves gutter, the extension piece at the end of the mounting piece is attached to the upper piece of the support body, and then the extension piece, upper piece, eaves board tip and lower piece are fastened together with a second mounting bolt that passes through them, completing the installation of the eaves gutter support.

[0017] In an eaves gutter support according to one aspect of the present invention, the reinforcing member may reinforce the support main body and vertical piece of the rear panel, and the mounting piece.

[0018] According to the above configuration, the reinforcing member reinforces the support body and the vertical pieces and the mounting pieces of the rear panel. Therefore, even if the eaves support attached to the tip of the eaves board of the roof is hit by a strong wind, the eaves gutter support can be prevented from being locally deformed by the wind. Therefore, the eaves support can be prevented from being rolled up, which is a deformation. In addition, the strength of the eaves support body can be improved while preventing an increase in cost and weight of the eaves gutter support. Effect of the Invention

[0019] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a lightweight, inexpensive eaves gutter support that has the strength to prevent curling. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0021] (First embodiment and its modifications) Hereinafter, an eaves gutter support according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a partial cross-sectional view showing a state in which an eaves gutter C is supported by an eaves gutter support 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the eaves gutter support 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II in FIG. 2. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II of the eaves gutter support 100 according to a modified example of the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of the eaves gutter support 100 according to a modified example of the first to third embodiments of the present invention. In the following description, when the eaves gutter support 100 is attached to the folded-plate roof A, 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.

[0022] The eaves gutter support 100 according to this embodiment is attached to, for example, the tip portion B of the eaves end board of the folded plate roof A, and supports the eaves gutter C. (See FIG. 1.) As shown in FIG. 2, the eaves gutter support 100 includes a rear member BF, a front member FF, a first mounting bolt 16, a second mounting bolt 17, and a reinforcing member RM. Each of the rear surface material BF and the front surface material FF is a plate-like member made of, for example, aluminum, and the cross-sectional shape can be selected appropriately from the viewpoint of the second moment of area. In other words, the cross-sectional shape of the plate-like member in the description of this embodiment is not limited to the linear shape. Furthermore, in the following, examples of the shape of the eaves gutter support 100 are described using terms such as upward, downward, and horizontal directions, but these may be changed appropriately depending on the shape and inclination of the eaves end plate tip B of the folded plate roof A to which it is to be attached.

[0023] The rear panel BF includes a support body 10 having a lower piece 12 and an upper piece 11 , a vertical piece 101 , and a horizontal piece 103 . Each of the lower piece 12 and the upper piece 11 of the support body 10 is a plate-like member extending horizontally in cross section. 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. In contrast, a recess 10A is formed from the other end (13, 14) to the one end 15 so that the tip B of the eaves board 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 at a position that coincides when viewed from above with the upper piece 11 and the lower piece 12 arranged so as to 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, which is closer to 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, which is closer to the other end (13, 14). The vertical piece 101 is a plate-like member extending 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 horizontal piece 103 extends horizontally, and an end 104 that is farther from the vertical piece 101 is bent upward or downward. A protrusion 106 is formed on the end 104 of the horizontal piece 103 that is farther from the vertical piece 101 for detachably supporting a vertical side locking piece 107, which will be described later. A male thread is formed on the outer periphery of the protrusion 106.

[0024] The front surface material FF includes a vertical side engaging 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 the lower end 104 through which a protrusion 106 penetrates so that the vertical locking piece 107 can be detachably supported by the horizontal piece 103. The protrusion 106 formed at the end 104 of the horizontal piece 103 farther from the vertical piece 101 is inserted into the hole formed at 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 by the horizontal piece 103. Here, the protrusion 106 protrudes toward the front side from the viewpoint of workability. However, when emphasis is placed on aesthetics, the protrusion 106 may be a protrusion 106 protruding toward the rear side.

[0025] The mounting piece 108 is attached to the vertical locking piece 107, and has an extension piece 110 located above the upper piece 11 and capable of being attached to 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 a position 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 locking piece 107, the mounting piece 108, and the extension piece 110 of the mounting piece 108 may be formed integrally in advance.

[0026] 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 eaves board tip B at holes in the upper piece 11 and the lower piece 12 that are closer to the other ends (13, 14) of the upper piece 11 and the lower piece 12, and is fastened by screwing a nut.

[0027] 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 eaves board tip B at a hole closer to one end 15 in the upper piece 11 and the lower piece 12, and is fastened by screwing a nut. Therefore, when the eaves gutter support 100 is attached to the eaves end board tip B of the folded-plate roof A, after the eaves end board tip B 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.

[0028] The eaves gutter C is a member molded to have a U-shaped cross section, and extends along the longitudinal direction (the direction perpendicular to the paper surface in FIG. 1) of the eaves end board tip portion B. The eaves gutter C is molded, for example, from resin or the like. In cross-sectional view, the eaves gutter C is disposed at a position surrounded by the vertical piece 101, the horizontal piece 103, and the vertical side engaging piece 107, and is supported by the eaves gutter support 100. The eaves gutter C is disposed between the front material and the rear material.

[0029] The reinforcing member RM reinforces at least one of the upper part of the front material and the upper part of the rear material. The upper part of the front material is a part of the front material located above the eaves gutter. The upper part of the rear material is a part of the rear material located above the eaves gutter. The reinforcing member RM is a diagonal brace 111 attached to each of the mounting piece 108 and the vertical piece 101 so as to connect the mounting piece 108 and the vertical piece 101. The diagonal brace 111 is a plate-like member made of, for example, aluminum. The diagonal brace 111 has a body part 111a, a mounting piece side fixing part 111c, and a vertical piece side fixing part 111b. The body part 111a extends linearly. The mounting piece side fixing part 111c and the vertical piece side fixing part 111b extend in the same direction to both ends of the body part 111a and in the short direction of the body part 111a. In this embodiment, the body portion 111a is plate-shaped, and the mounting piece-side fixing portion 111c and the vertical piece-side fixing portion 111b extend in the plate thickness direction of the body portion 111a. As shown in FIG. 5, the mounting piece side fixing part 111c is disposed at an arbitrary position on the upper surface of the extension piece 110 of the mounting piece 108 in a cross-sectional view. The vertical piece side fixing part 111b is disposed at an arbitrary position on the rear surface of the vertical piece 101 in a cross-sectional view. Also, it is shorter than the distance from an arbitrary position of the mounting piece 108 to an arbitrary position of the vertical piece 101. Therefore, when the diagonal brace 111 is disposed relative to the eaves gutter support 100, the eaves gutter support 100 applies a biasing force to the diagonal brace 111 in the longitudinal outward direction of the body part 111a of the diagonal brace 111. As a result, a frictional force is generated between the eaves gutter support 100 and the diagonal brace 111, and the diagonal brace 111 is fixed relative to the eaves gutter support 100. Here, any position of the mounting piece 108 and any position of the vertical piece 101 can be selected within a range of positions that do not interfere with the eaves gutter C. In addition, the longitudinal length of the body portion 111a is selected according to the selected positions.

[0030] In addition, the diagonal brace 111 may be fixed to the eaves gutter support 100 by a bolt. 6, for example, the mounting piece fixing part 111c may be disposed on the inside of an arbitrary position of the mounting piece 108 in a cross-sectional view, and the vertical piece fixing part 111b may be disposed on the inside of an arbitrary position of the vertical piece 101 in a cross-sectional view. Then, holes may be provided in arbitrary positions of the mounting piece fixing part 111c and the mounting piece 108, and arbitrary positions of the vertical piece fixing part 111b and the vertical piece 101, respectively, and the diagonal brace 111 may be fixed to the eaves gutter support 100 by passing a bolt through the holes and screwing a nut into the holes.

[0031] (Modification) In the description of the eaves gutter support 100 relating to the first embodiment above, an example was given of a pattern in which the eaves gutter support 100 is composed of two components: a rear panel BF, and a vertical side engagement piece 107 and an attachment piece 108, but there is no intention to limit the configuration to being composed of two components. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, each of the vertical piece 101 and the vertical side engaging piece 107 may be divided in the longitudinal direction (up-down direction) to form two components, an upper member and a lower member, so that the eaves gutter support 100 is made up of four members.

[0032] Specifically, a protrusion 115 protruding forward and having a male screw formed thereon may be provided at the lower end of the upper member of each of the vertical piece 101 and the vertical side locking piece 107. Also, a linear hole extending in the longitudinal direction may be provided at the upper end of the lower member of each of the vertical piece 101 and the vertical side locking piece 107. A protrusion 115 provided on the lower end of the upper member of the vertical piece 101 is placed in a hole provided on the upper end of the lower member of the vertical piece 101, and a nut 116 is fastened to a male screw formed on the protrusion 115, thereby adjusting the length of the vertical piece 101. Also, a protrusion 115 provided on the lower end of the upper member of the vertical locking piece 107 is placed in a hole provided on the upper end of the lower member of the vertical locking piece 107, and a nut 116 is fastened to a male screw formed on the protrusion 115, thereby adjusting the length of the vertical locking piece 107. Here, the longitudinal length of the linear hole extending in the longitudinal direction at the upper end of each of the lower members of the vertical piece 101 and the vertical side engaging piece 107 is arbitrary.

[0033] Therefore, the eaves gutter support 100 of the first embodiment is an eaves gutter support 100 that supports the eaves gutter C while being suspended from the eaves edge, and comprises a front material FF and a rear material BF between which the eaves gutter C is arranged, and a reinforcing member RM that reinforcing at least one of the upper part of the front material FF, which is the part of the front material FF that is located above the eaves gutter C, and the upper part of the rear material BF, which is the part of the rear material BF that is located above the eaves gutter C.

[0034] Furthermore, the eaves gutter support 100 of this embodiment may be a diagonal brace 111 in which the reinforcing member RM is attached to the upper part of the front material FF and the upper part of the rear material BF so as to connect the upper part of the front material FF and the upper part of the rear material BF.

[0035] Furthermore, in the eaves gutter support 100 according to this embodiment, the rear panel BF includes a support body 10 having a lower piece 12 and an upper piece 11 that form a recess into which the eaves end board tip B can be inserted, a vertical piece 101 extending downward from the lower piece 12, and a horizontal piece 103 extending from an end 102 of the vertical piece 101 that is farther from the support body 10, and the front panel FF extends upward from an end 104 of the horizontal piece 103 that is farther from the vertical piece 101, and the horizontal piece 103 extends upward from an end 104 of the horizontal piece 103 that is farther from the vertical piece 101. The rear panel material BF includes a vertical engaging piece 107 supported on the horizontal piece 103 in a detachable manner, and an attachment piece 108 attached to the vertical engaging piece 107 and having an extension piece 110 located above the upper piece 11 and attachable to the upper piece 11, and an eaves gutter C is supported in the area surrounded by the vertical piece 101, the horizontal piece 103 and the vertical engaging piece 107, and the reinforcing member RM may join the rear panel material BF and the attachment piece 108 so as to avoid the eaves gutter C, and may reinforce the rear panel material BF and the attachment piece 108.

[0036] Furthermore, the eaves gutter support 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a first mounting bolt 16 which is removably attached to the support main body 10 and passes through the upper piece 11 and the lower piece 12, and a second mounting bolt 17 which is removably attached to the extension piece 110 and passes through the extension piece 110, the upper piece 11 and the lower piece 12, and the reinforcing member RM may be attached separately from the second mounting bolt 17.

[0037] As described above, according to the eaves gutter support 100 of the first embodiment, the eaves gutter C is supported in the area surrounded by the vertical piece 101, the horizontal piece 103, and the vertical side engaging piece 107, and the reinforcing member RM is provided to avoid the eaves gutter C. This makes it possible to prevent the eaves gutter support 100 from being locally deformed by the wind, even if the eaves gutter support 100 attached to the eaves end board tip portion B of the roof is hit by a strong wind. This makes it possible to prevent the eaves gutter support 100 from being deformed by being rolled up, which is a phenomenon known as curling. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent an increase in the cost and weight of the eaves gutter support 100 while improving the strength of the eaves gutter support 100.

[0038] Furthermore, according to the eaves gutter support 100 of this embodiment, the reinforcing member RM is a diagonal brace 111 attached to the mounting piece 108 and the vertical piece 101 so as to connect the mounting piece 108 and the vertical piece 101. Therefore, even if the eaves gutter support 100 attached to the eaves end board tip portion B of the roof is subjected to a strong wind, local deformation of the eaves gutter support 100 can be prevented. Therefore, the turning-up phenomenon, which is a deformation in which the eaves gutter support 100 rolls up, can be prevented. Furthermore, even if a windstorm exceeding the above-mentioned strong wind hits, the support body 10, which is located in a position most susceptible to deformation by wind in terms of force moment, is strongly reinforced by the braces 111, so the eaves gutter support 100 as a whole can deform. This makes it possible to mitigate damage to the eaves edge and maintain the drainage function of the rain gutter C, even if a windstorm exceeding the above-mentioned strong wind hits.

[0039] Furthermore, the reinforcing member RM reinforces the support body 10 and the vertical piece 101, and the mounting piece 108 of the rear panel BF. Therefore, even if the eaves gutter support 100 attached to the eaves end board tip B of the roof is hit by a strong wind, the eaves gutter support 100 can be prevented from being locally deformed by the wind. This makes it possible to prevent the eaves gutter support 100 from curling up, which is a deformation in which the eaves gutter support 100 rolls up. Also, while improving the strength of the support body 10, it is possible to prevent an increase in cost and weight of the eaves gutter support 100.

[0040] Furthermore, the tip B of the eaves end board is inserted into the recess 10A of the support body 10, and the eaves gutter support 100 can be temporarily fixed in a stable state to the tip B of the eaves end board by the first mounting bolt 16 that penetrates the upper piece 11, the tip B of the eaves end board, and the lower piece 12 of the support body 10. In this state, by changing the position of the vertical side locking piece 107 extending above the end 104 of the horizontal piece 103 to open up a space on the side of the horizontal piece, it becomes possible to install the eaves gutter C along the horizontal piece 103 and the vertical piece 101, and the eaves gutter C can be temporarily supported. After installing the eaves gutter C, the extension piece 110 of the mounting piece 108 is attached onto the upper piece 11 of the support main body 10, and then these are fastened together with a second mounting bolt 17 that penetrates the extension piece 110, the upper piece 11, the eaves end board tip B, and the lower piece 12, completing the installation of the eaves gutter support 100.

[0041] Second embodiment Next, a second embodiment of the eaves gutter support according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of an eaves gutter support 100 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. 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 only the differences being described.

[0042] The reinforcing member RM according to this embodiment is a reinforcing plate 112. The reinforcing plate 112 is made of, for example, aluminum. As shown in Fig. 3, the reinforcing plate 112 is disposed at any position where it does not interfere with the eaves gutter C of the eaves gutter support 100. That is, the reinforcing plate 112 is disposed and fixed at a position where it does not interfere with the eaves gutter C in the support body 10 and the vertical piece 101 and the mounting piece 108 of the rear panel BF in cross section. The reinforcing plate 112 may be disposed and fixed by, for example, arranging and attaching the reinforcing plate 112 so as to overlap the lower side of the lower piece 12 of the support body 10. The reinforcing plate 112 may also be fixed at any position with a bolt or the like.

[0043] Therefore, the eaves gutter support 100 according to the second embodiment is a reinforcing plate 112 in which the reinforcing member RM is superimposed on at least one of the upper part of the front material FF and the upper part of the rear material BF.

[0044] Furthermore, in the eaves gutter support 100 according to this embodiment, the reinforcing member RM may reinforce the support main body 10 and the vertical piece 101, and the mounting piece 108 of the rear panel BF.

[0045] As described above, in the eaves gutter support 100 according to the second embodiment, the reinforcing member RM reinforces the support body 10 and the vertical piece 101 of the rear panel BF, and the mounting piece 108. Therefore, even if the eaves gutter support 100 attached to the eaves end board tip B of the roof is subjected to a strong wind, the eaves gutter support 100 can be prevented from being locally deformed by the wind. This makes it possible to prevent the eaves gutter support 100 from curling up, which is a deformation in which the eaves gutter support 100 rolls up. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent an increase in cost and weight of the eaves gutter support 100 while improving the strength of the eaves gutter support 100.

[0046] (Third embodiment and its modified examples) Next, a third embodiment of the eaves gutter support according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the eaves gutter support 100 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 7 is a cross-sectional view taken along II-II in Fig. 4. Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view taken along III-III in Fig. 4. Fig. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along II-II in Fig. 4 of the eaves gutter support 100 according to a modified example of the third embodiment of the present invention. 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 only the differences being described.

[0047] The reinforcing member RM according to this embodiment is a clip 113. 4, clip 113 is a U-shaped member disposed so as to clamp both mounting piece 108 and support body 10, or only mounting piece 108. Clip 113 is formed from, for example, aluminum. 7 and 8, the clip 113 is disposed so as to sandwich both the mounting piece 108 and the support body 10, or only the mounting piece 108, from above and below, and is fixed in place by the biasing force of the clip 113. This makes it possible to easily reinforce the eaves gutter support 100. Here, the clip 113 cannot be arranged so as to pinch the tip portion B of the eaves end board in principle.

[0048] (Modification) In the description of the eaves gutter support 100 relating to the third embodiment described above, the reinforcing member RM was exemplified as a U-shaped clip 113 arranged to clamp both the mounting piece 108 and the support main body 10, or only the mounting piece 108, but it does not have to be U-shaped. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, the reinforcing member RM provided in the eaves gutter support 100 according to a modified example of the third embodiment may be a clip 114 made up of two plate-shaped members, a bolt and a nut.

[0049] The two plate-like members (114a, 114b) have holes through which bolts pass. The two plate-like members (114a, 114b) are attached to the eaves gutter support 100 as follows. Of the two plate-like members (114a, 114b), one plate-like member 114a is disposed on the upper side of the upper piece 11. The other plate-like member 114b is disposed on the lower side of the lower piece 12 in a position corresponding to the lower side of the one plate-like member 114a. Then, a bolt 114c is disposed in a hole formed in the two plate-like members (114a, 114b), and a nut 114d is screwed in to fasten and fix the two plate-like members (114a, 114b).

[0050] According to the above modification, of the two plate-like members (114a, 114b) of the clip 114, one plate-like member 114a can be disposed on the upper side of the upper piece 11 and in a position between the first mounting bolt 16 and the second mounting bolt 17. The other plate-like member 114b can be disposed on the lower side of the lower piece 12 and in a position corresponding to the lower side of the one plate-like member 114a, and can be fixed with a bolt 114c and a nut 114d. That is, the clip 114 can be arranged so as to clamp the eaves end board tip portion B. This improves the degree of freedom in arrangement.

[0051] Therefore, the eaves gutter support 100 according to the third embodiment is a clip (113, 114) in which the reinforcing member RM is attached so as to clamp at least the upper part of the front material FF.

[0052] As explained above, according to the eaves gutter support 100 of the third embodiment, the reinforcing member RM is a clip (113, 114) attached so as to clamp at least the mounting piece 108. Therefore, even if the eaves gutter support 100 attached to the eaves end board tip portion B of the roof is subjected to a strong wind, localized deformation of the eaves gutter support 100 can be prevented. Therefore, the curling phenomenon, which is a deformation in which the eaves gutter support 100 rolls up, can be prevented. Furthermore, even if a windstorm exceeding the above-mentioned strong wind hits, the clips (113, 114) reinforce the support body 10, which is located in a position most susceptible to deformation by wind in terms of the force moment, and the eaves gutter support 100 can deform as a whole. This makes it possible to mitigate damage to the eaves edge and maintain the drainage function of the rain gutter C, even if a windstorm exceeding the above-mentioned strong wind hits. Furthermore, by using the clips (113, 114) as the reinforcing members RM, it becomes possible to attach them later to the eaves gutter support 100 that does not have the reinforcing members RM. Also, since the installation can be easily performed, the work efficiency is improved.

[0053] The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0054] For example, as in the modified example shown in Fig. 11, the eaves gutter support 100 may be supported by a reinforcing support 200. The reinforcing support 200 connects a building wall surface 201 on which the folded-plate roof A is installed to a vertical piece 101 or a horizontal piece 103 of the rear panel BF. The reinforcing support 200, together with the reinforcing member RM, can prevent the eaves gutter support 100 from deforming. The distance between the building wall surface 201 and the eaves gutter support 100 is not constant. This distance varies depending on, for example, the longitudinal position of the eaves gutter C. Therefore, it is preferable that the connection position between the building wall surface 201 and the reinforcing support 200, or the connection position between the reinforcing support 200 and the rear surface material BF, is adjustable according to the distance between the building wall surface 201 and the eaves gutter support 100. As an example of a structure that allows the connection position between the reinforcing support 200 and the rear surface material BF to be adjusted, a structure in which a linear hole (not shown) extending in the longitudinal direction provided on one of the reinforcing support 200 or the rear surface material BF (the rear surface material BF in the illustrated example) and a protrusion 202 having a male thread on the outer surface provided on the other (the reinforcing support 200 in the illustrated example) are connected by a nut 203 can be adopted.

[0055] In addition, within the scope of the spirit of the present invention, it is possible to replace the components in the above-described embodiments with well-known components as appropriate, and the above-described embodiments and their variations may be combined as appropriate.
