Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] When arranging the drainage member on the eaves gutter, a through-hole is provided in the eaves gutter. The through-hole is opened at the construction site of the eaves gutter and the vertical gutter. When providing the through-hole, a scribing operation is performed to provide a scribing line as a mark on the surface of the eaves gutter. A bell mouth shape may be provided at the part of the drainage member that contacts the eaves gutter. That is, a shape that gradually expands in diameter from the lower part to the upper part of the drainage member may be provided. As a result, a difference occurs between the outer diameter of the lower end part of the drainage member and the inner diameter of the through-hole to be provided in the eaves gutter. As a result, at the construction site, there is a problem that it is difficult to know the exact diameter of the through-hole provided in the eaves gutter. In addition, there is a problem that it is difficult to perform the scribing operation because there is no mark for the scribing line to be provided.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a packaging material and a drainage member set that can easily and accurately provide a scribing line at the installation location of the drainage member.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] To solve the aforementioned problems, the present invention proposes the following means. <1> A packaging material according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention is a packaging material for packaging drainage members, comprising a box material for housing a plurality of drainage members and a partition material disposed between the plurality of drainage members, wherein at least one of a part of the box material and a part of the partition material serves as a marking guide used to mark the portion of the drainage member on the gutter where the drainage member is to be placed.

[0007] According to this invention, a portion of the packaging material serves as a marking guide used to mark the location where the drainage member will be placed on the gutter. By using the marking guide to perform the marking work, it is possible to easily and reliably draw marking lines of the correct position and size when marking the location where the drainage member will be placed. Therefore, the efficiency of the marking work can be improved. Furthermore, the accuracy of the installation work of the drainage member can be improved.

[0008] Here, if the marking guide is a separate component in the drainage component set, the following problems arise: Specifically, the marking guide must be attached separately when packaging the drainage components. This makes, for example, managing the types of marking guides complicated. Also, if the marking guide is forgotten during the manufacturing of the drainage component set, or if it is lost at the construction site, the above benefits cannot be enjoyed. The marking guide is used only during construction and is discarded like the packaging material after the drainage components are installed. This increases waste.

[0009] In contrast, a portion of the packaging material serves as a marking guide. Since the packaging material is used for each fitting, it prevents the management of different types of marking guides from becoming complicated. Because the drainage components are always shipped contained within the packaging material, it prevents the marking guide from being forgotten. Furthermore, it prevents the loss of the marking guide immediately after opening the packaging material. In addition, it prevents an increase in waste.

[0010] <2> The packaging material according to aspect 2 of the present invention is the packaging material according to aspect 1, wherein the marking guide is in the shape of a plate.

[0011] According to this invention, the marking guide is in the shape of a plate. This allows marking work to be performed by moving the marking tool along the perimeter of the marking guide.

[0012] <3> The packaging material according to embodiment 3 of the present invention is the packaging material according to embodiment 1, wherein the marking guide is a groove that penetrates in the thickness direction of the box material or the partition material.

[0013] According to this invention, the marking guide is a groove that penetrates the box material or partition material in the thickness direction. This allows marking work to be performed by moving the marking tool along the inside of the marking guide.

[0014] <4> The packaging material according to embodiment 4 of the present invention is characterized in that, in any one of the packaging materials from embodiment 1 to embodiment 3, the marking guide is semicircular.

[0015] For example, if the marking guide is circular, it may be too large for the packaging material. In contrast, if the marking guide is semicircular, after marking one semicircular line, the remaining semicircular line can be marked by shifting the position of the marking guide. Therefore, the size of the marking guide can be kept to the minimum necessary.

[0016] <5>The drainage member set according to Aspect 5 of the present invention includes a packing material according to any one of Aspects 1 to 4, and a drainage member housed in the packing material and disposed on the eaves gutter.

[0017] According to this invention, the drainage member is housed in the packing material according to the present invention. Thereby, when making a border around the part where the drainage member is to be placed, it is possible to easily and surely draw a border line with the correct position and size. Therefore, the workability of making the border can be improved. Also, the accuracy of the installation work of the drainage member can be improved.

Effects of the Invention

[0018] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a packing material and a drainage member set capable of easily and accurately providing a border line at the installation location of the drainage member.

[0020] A drainage member set 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in Figure 1, the drainage member set 100 comprises a drainage member 10, packaging material 20, and marking guide 30. The drainage member 10 is positioned at the connection point between the gutter N and the downpipe T, for example, as shown in Figure 2. The drainage member 10 has the role of making it difficult for air to mix with the wastewater as it flows from the gutter N to the downpipe T. As a result, the drainage member 10 makes it easier for the inside of the downpipe T to be filled with wastewater, thereby making it easier for the siphon effect to occur inside the downpipe T. In this way, the drainage member 10 has the role of improving the efficiency of drainage from the gutter N.

[0021] As shown in Figure 3, the drainage member 10 comprises a first member 11 and a second member 12. The first member 11 comprises at least a first flange 11f and a first connecting portion 11s. The lower surface of the first flange 11f is in contact with the upper surface of the bottom surface of the gutter N. The first connecting portion 11s protrudes downward from the gutter N through a through hole Nh. For example, an external threaded portion (not shown) is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the first connecting portion 11s. The first flange 11f is positioned from above into the through hole Nh provided in the gutter N.

[0022] In this embodiment, the drain member 10 is provided with a bell mouth-shaped portion 11B at the connection between the first flange 11f and the first connecting portion 11s. The bell mouth-shaped portion 11B has a shape on the outer circumferential surface of the drain member 10 that gradually widens in diameter from the first connecting portion 11s located below the drain member 10 toward the first flange 11f located above the drain member 10. In a longitudinal cross-sectional view along the axis of the drain member 10, the bell mouth-shaped portion 11B is a curved shape that is convex radially inward. This regulates the flow of drainage that flows down the inside of the first connecting portion 11s.

[0023] The second member 12 comprises at least a second flange 12f and a second connecting portion 12s. The upper surface of the second flange 12f is in contact with the lower surface of the bottom surface of the gutter N. The first connecting portion 11s is inserted into the interior of the second connecting portion 12s. For example, an internal threaded portion (not shown) is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the second connecting portion 12s. The second member 12 is positioned below the through hole Nh.

[0024] The first member 11 and the second member 12 are positioned so as to sandwich the gutter N between the first flange 11f of the first member 11 and the second flange 12f of the second member 12. At this time, the first member 11 and the second member 12 are fixed by tightening the male and female threaded portions described above. Alternatively, the male and female threaded portions described above may be omitted, and the members may be fixed with adhesive or the like. In this way, the drain member 10 is fixed to the gutter N. As described above, after fixing the drainage member 10 to the gutter N, a downpipe T is connected to the outer circumferential surface of the second connection portion 12s of the second member 12 on the downstream side of the gutter N. A connecting pipe may also be connected to the downstream side of the gutter N.

[0025] The packaging material 20 contains the drainage member 10. This allows the drainage member 10 to be transported to the construction site while contained within the packaging material 20. The packaging material 20 comprises a box material 21 and a partition material 22. For the box material 21 and the partition material 22, suitable materials include, for example, corrugated cardboard or thick paper.

[0026] The box material 21 houses the drainage members 10 inside. The box material 21 is, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped. The box material 21 houses, for example, a plurality of drainage members 10. For example, as shown in Figure 1, the box material 21 houses six drainage members 10. The box material 21 may also house four drainage members 10, as shown in Figure 4. The box material 21 is not limited to these, and may house any other number of drainage members 10.

[0027] The partition material 22 is a plate-shaped member placed between a plurality of drainage members 10. The partition material 22 comprises, for example, a first partition material 22a and a second partition material 22b, as shown in Figure 1. The first partition material 22a is positioned upright so that its longitudinal direction is along a first direction of the box material 21. The first direction is, for example, the direction of the long side of the bottom surface of the box material 21. The second partition material 22b is positioned upright so that its longitudinal direction is along a second direction of the box material 21. The second direction is, for example, the direction of the short side of the bottom surface of the box material 21.

[0028] As shown in Figure 5, the first partition member 22a and the second partition member 22b are each provided with slits 22s. The slits 22s are provided, for example, from the ends in the short direction of the first partition member 22a and the second partition member 22b to the middle part in the short direction. In this embodiment, the first partition member 22a has two slits 22s. The second partition member 22b has one slit 22s.

[0029] When the slit 22s of the first partition material 22a and the slit 22s of the second partition material 22b are interlocked, the first partition material 22a and the second partition material 22b are combined in a state where they are perpendicular to each other. When the first partition material 22a and the second partition material 22b in this state are placed inside the box material 21, the inside of the box material 21 is divided into six spaces, as shown in Figure 1. In this way, the partition material 22 makes it possible to accommodate six drainage members 10.

[0030] As shown in Figure 4, a third partition member 22c may be provided as a partition member 22. The third partition member 22c is formed by bending a single plate-shaped member at a right angle, as shown in Figure 6. A pair of such third partition members 22c are arranged upright inside the box material 21. In this way, the third partition members 22c may be used to accommodate four drainage members 10.

[0031] The marking guide 30 is used to mark the location where the drainage member 10 will be installed. In this embodiment, the marking guide 30 is provided on the packaging material 20. That is, at least one of a part of the box material 21 and a part of the partition material 22 becomes a marking guide 30 used to mark the location where the drainage member 10 will be installed on the gutter where the drainage member 10 will be placed. The marking guide 30 is provided on the first partition material 22a or the second partition material 22b, for example, as shown in Figure 7. The marking guide 30 may also be provided on the third partition material 22c or on the lid, bottom, or side of the box material 21, as shown in Figure 8.

[0032] When providing the marking guide 30 on the packaging material 20, the following configuration is used. In other words, for example, a dividing line for die-cutting is provided in advance on the surface of the packaging material 20. The dividing line is, for example, a weakening line that is easily broken. Easily broken means that, for example, a worker can break it by hand without using tools such as scissors. Examples of weakening lines include perforations. In this case, after removing the drainage member 10 from the box material 21 at the construction site, force is applied to the dividing line provided on the packaging material 20 by hand or the like. This cuts out the shape of the marking guide 30 from the packaging material 20. The demarcation lines may be, for example, lines drawn on the surface of the packaging material 20. In this case, after the drainage member 10 is removed from the box material 21 at the construction site, the packaging material 20 may be shaped into the marking guide 30 by cutting the lines provided on the packaging material 20 with scissors.

[0033] The marking guide 30 is, for example, plate-shaped, as shown in Figure 9. In this case, marking is performed by moving the marking tool K along the perimeter of the marking guide 30. In this embodiment, the marking tool K is, for example, a pen. The marking tool K may also be a needle-shaped member. The marking guide 30 may also be a groove that penetrates the box material 21 or partition material 22 in the thickness direction, as shown in Figure 7 or Figure 8. In this case, marking is performed by moving the marking tool K so as to trace the inside of the marking guide 30.

[0034] In this embodiment, the marking guide 30 is semicircular. That is, the marking guide 30 is, for example, a semicircular plate. The marking guide 30 may also be a groove formed in a semicircular shape. In this embodiment, the semicircular shape includes not only a sector with a central angle of 180°, but also a shape formed by connecting both ends of an arc with a central angle of 180° or more and 200° or less with a straight line. Furthermore, the marking guide 30 may have markings 30m provided at 90° intervals along the arc, for example. Using a marking guide 30 of this shape, marking work is performed as follows.

[0035] Specifically, first, as shown in Figure 10, a marking guide 30 is placed at the location where the marking line L is to be made. Next, a marking tool K is used to make an arc-shaped marking line L along the marking guide 30. At this time, it is preferable that the central angle of the marking line L be, for example, 180° or more. Next, as shown in Figure 11, the position of the marking guide 30 is rotated and shifted. At this time, it is preferable to shift the marking guide 30 so as to align the position of the marker 30m. Then, the remaining marking line L is made. In other words, a circular marking line L is formed by complementing the arc made initially. In this way, the marking line L is made. After that, as shown in Figure 12, a through hole Nh is made along the marking line L using a tool S. In this way, the drainage member 10 can be installed.

[0036] As described above, according to the packaging material 20 of this embodiment, a part of the packaging material 20 becomes a marking guide 30 used to mark the location where the drainage member 10 will be placed on the gutter N where the drainage member 10 will be placed. By performing marking work using the marking guide 30, it is possible to easily and reliably draw marking lines L of the correct position and size when marking the location where the drainage member 10 will be placed. Therefore, the work efficiency of marking can be improved. In addition, the accuracy of the installation work of the drainage member 10 can be improved.

[0037] Here, if the marking guide 30 is a separate component in the drainage component set 100, the following problems arise. Specifically, when packaging the drainage component 10, the marking guide 30 must be attached separately. This makes, for example, managing the different types of marking guides 30 complicated. Also, if the marking guide 30 is forgotten during the manufacturing of the drainage component set 100, or if the marking guide 30 is lost at the construction site, the above-mentioned benefits cannot be enjoyed. The marking guide 30 is used only during construction and is discarded after the construction of the drainage component 10, just like the packaging material 20. As a result, waste increases.

[0038] In contrast, a portion of the packaging material 20 becomes the marking guide 30. Since the packaging material 20 is used for each joint, it is possible to prevent the management of different types of marking guides 30 from becoming complicated. Since the drainage components 10 are always shipped contained in the packaging material 20, it is possible to prevent the marking guide 30 from being forgotten. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent the loss of the marking guide 30 immediately after simply opening the packaging material 20. In addition, it is possible to prevent an increase in waste.

[0039] Furthermore, the marking guide 30 is plate-shaped. This allows marking work to be performed by moving the marking tool K along the perimeter of the marking guide 30.

[0040] Furthermore, the marking guide 30 is a groove that penetrates the box material 21 or partition material 22 in the thickness direction. This allows marking work to be performed by moving the marking tool K along the inside of the marking guide 30.

[0041] For example, if the marking guide 30 is circular, it may be too large for the packaging material 20. In contrast, the marking guide 30 is semicircular. This allows for the creation of a semicircular marking line L, and then the remaining semicircular marking line L can be created by shifting the position of the marking guide 30. Thus, the size of the marking guide 30 can be kept to the minimum necessary.

[0042] Furthermore, the drainage member 10 is housed in the packaging material 20 according to the present invention. This makes it easy and reliable to draw a marking line L of the correct position and size when marking the area where the drainage member 10 will be placed. Therefore, the efficiency of the marking work can be improved. In addition, the accuracy of the installation work of the drainage member 10 can be improved.

[0043] It should be noted that the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention. For example, the marking guide 30 is not limited to a semicircular shape, but may also be circular. In this case, for example, the marking guide 30 may be formed using the entire bottom or top surface of the box material 21.

[0044] Furthermore, without departing from the spirit of the present invention, the components in the above embodiments may be replaced with well-known components as appropriate, and the above-described modifications may be combined as appropriate. [Explanation of symbols]
