DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The shaping or mounding element is generally indicated at 1 and! it designed to be inserted in position between an inner wall form 2 and an outer wall form 3 to mound the inner surface B
of a side opening made in manhole C for receiving a sewer pipe (not shown). The shaping element is also designed to hold in position the gasket seal A during pouring of the concrete to form , :, ~2;~29 the manhole wall C between the wall forms 2 and 3, Since a manhole is normally cylindrical, the two wall forms 2 and 3 are cylindrical and co-axial. The shaping element 1 is made of an inner shaping part 4 and an outer shaping part 5 which are assembled by axial movement toward each other and disassembled by axial separation after the concrete or other wettable material has set and after the wall forms 2 and 3 have been stripped away.
Inner shaping part 4 has an outer wall 6 while outer shaping part has an outer wall 7. Each outer wall 6 and 7 has a shape to conform with and abut against the respective inner and outer wall forms 2 and 3. More specifically, each outer wall 6, 7, is curved in cross-section along a horizontal diameter to conform with the horizontal curvature of the wall worms 2 and 3 and are cross-sectionally straight in the vertical direction, i.e. along a diameter normal to the first-named diameter. The inner shaping par has a flange 8 which is secured to the outer wall 6 near the periphery of the latter and which extends inwardly. This flange 8 serves as a mounding surface to mound a portion of the inner surface B of the manhole side opening.
Similarly, the outer shaping part 5 has a flange 9 which extends inwardly from the peripheral zone of outer wall 7 and serves to shape the remaining part of the manhole opening.
Flange 9 is substantially straight in cross-section and has an inner end 10. Flange 8 is formed at its inner end 11 with an extension of generally L-shaped cross-section defining as a first leg a radially-inwardly-extending step 12 and as a second leg a 12;~:~3329 generally cylindrical portion 13 which, when the two shaping parts 9 and 5 are assembled or mated, laps the inner end portion 10 of flange 9 and is radially and inwardly spaced from the same.
When the two shaping parts 4 and S are assembled, there is thus formed between step 12 and inner end 10 a peripheral channel 14 which opens radially outwardly and which it of L-shaped cross-section, so as to be adapted to receive and retain between the two mating parts the gasket seal A in accordance with the teachings of the above-noted US. patent 4,598,918 and corresponding Canadian patent 1,207,815 issued July 15, 1986 .
As described in this US. patent # 4,598,918 and corresponding Canadian patent # 1,207,815 issued July 15, 1986 , the gasket seal A is made of elastomeric material as a continuous awns and includes in unstressed state a radially-outer cylindrical flange mcmber 15 from the mid-plane of which extends a radial web 16 from the radially-inner end of which, in turn, extends a pear-shaped enlargement 17 which tapers radially-inwardly and which is extended by a cross-sectionally angled sealing lip 18. As shown in Figure 2, the angled portion of the sealing lip 18 engages into the L-shaped channel 14 and this lip is squeezed between the step 12 and the inner end 10 of the flange 9 so that the enlargement 17 and web 16 are maintained in a generally radially-outwardly-directed position so that part of the enlargement 17 and the whole of the web 16 and flange 15 will be embedded into the wettable material 20, Preferably, the outer walls 6 and 7 protrude radially-~Z293Z~3 outwardly from the respective flanges 8 and 9 to form annular flanges 21, 21' , which provide a still better seal between the wall forms 2 and 3 and the shaping element 1. These annular flanges 21, 21' together with the outer walls and 7, completely prevent ingress of the wettable material 20 within the assembled shaping element 1 during pouring of the wettable material. The outer walls 6 and 7 serve also as a support for the means for guiding and securing the two shaping parts 4 and 5 together.
These means include the following elements: to the center of the outer wall 6 of inner shaping part 4 is rigidly secured a tubular section 22 of non-circular cross-section preferably of square cross-section) and which extends axially of the shaping element 1 being completely opened at its inner end 23. Similarly, a tubular section 24 is secured to the center of the outer wall 7 of outer shaping element 5 and extends axially of the shaping element 1 to telescopically engage within the tubular section 22.
The shaping parts 4 and S may be made in one piece of glass-fibres reinforced synthetic resin and the tubular sections 22, 24, are made of steel and attached to the outer walls 6 and 7 by means of short metal rods 25 welded to the tubular sections 22, 24, and embedded within the synthetic resin of the outer walls. Obviously, shaping parts 4 and S could be made of any other suitable material.
The tubular section 22 which is the outer element of the two telescopic elements is provided with a longitudinally-extending slot 26 at one corner thereof and which opens at the ~2~33Z9 inner end 23. The other tubular section 24 carries at its inner end an outwardly-pro~ecting tab 27 which engages the slot 26 upon assembly of the two shaping parts 4 and 5 only when these two shaping parts are properly oriented one with respect to the other; otherwise, the tab 27 cannot engage the slot 26 and the two shaping parts cannot be properly assembled. Once assembled with the gasket seal A properly retained on the shaping element 1, the assembly of the shaping element 1 of the gasket A are properly located between the wall forms 2 and 3 and are secured in position and tightened one against the other my a tie-bolt 28 with a nut I the tie-bolt extending through holes maze in the wall forms 2 and 3 and through the tubular sections 22, 2q.
When the material 20 has sufficiently set, the wall forms 2 and 3 can be stripped away after removal of the tie-bolt 28. The two shaping parts 9 and 5 can then be disassembled by axial separation outwardly and inwardly of the manhole. The gasket seal therefore remains in anchored position within the concrete surrounding the sewer pipe receiving opening.
Inner end 10 is radially-inwardly offset from inner end 11 to form a sewer pipe abutment in concrete C when the sewer pipe is excessively loaded. Yet, lip I can flex in the direction of arrow D during and after pipe insertion The pipe abutment prevents damage to the gasket seal A.
