SNOW MELTING STRUCTURE FOR EAVES GUTTER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent generation of snow accumulation or an icicle and to prevent direct application of a load of snow or the icicle to an eaves gutter for preventing damage of the gutter. SOLUTION: In an opening 5 between an upper edge part 2a in a front face plate 2 of the eaves gutter 1 and an eaves 4 of a roof 3, a substantially plate- shaped snowbreak cover member 6 is arranged so as to cover a part of the width direction A of the opening 5. Clearances 12 and 13 for rainwater inflow are formed on both of the front and rear sides of the snowbreak cover member 6. A first snow melting heater 7 is arranged in the snowbreak cover member 6, while a second snow melting heater 8 is arranged in a part on the inner side of the roof side 3 behind the eaves 4.
