Description

The present invention relates to a manhole safety device for at least one manhole structure with at least one entry opening, comprising at least one frame device, at least one cover device and at least one personal protection device, the personal protection device having at least one fall protection device with at least one barrier element. In this case, in a closed state, the cover device forms at least one storage space with the frame device, in which the fall protection device can be received in the storage space.

Various systems for securing manholes, such as inspection manholes or inspection manholes, have become known from the prior art. In this case, the shaft opening of such shafts is usually closed with a shaft cover so that people cannot accidentally fall into the shaft.

In order to also secure the open shaft, a railing, scaffolding or the like can be set up around the shaft, for example for maintenance work or when people are to enter a shaft. Such a scaffolding or railing can be transported to a shaft and set up if necessary.

However, manhole safeguards that are permanently installed on a manhole have also become known. G 93 18 077.2, for example, discloses a manhole cover which can be permanently installed above a manhole opening. In this case, a two-part cover is disclosed which, in a closed state, can cover a folded protective railing. If the shaft is to be released, the cover is opened and the railing is folded up, which together with the opened cover provides a safety device surrounding the shaft opening.

In order to secure the maintenance personnel, a traverse or a so-called crane block can be installed on such a railing or generally on railings or scaffolding, to which cable winches or the like can be attached to secure the personnel.

Such crane brackets can often be adapted to different installation situations, since the type and structure of guardrails or scaffolding can vary greatly.

However, it is disadvantageous that the traverses or crane blocks are often very bulky as a result and that they must first be transported to the shaft itself. This is unfavorable, especially if the shaft cannot be reached directly by vehicle. In addition, it is not possible to secure personnel with a cable winch if a crane block is inadvertently not on site and / or spontaneous entry into a shaft is necessary.

It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide an improved manhole safety device in which the proper safety of people can always be guaranteed.

This object is achieved by a shaft securing device having the features according to claim 1. Preferred developments of the invention are the subject of the subclaims. Further advantages and features of the present invention emerge from the general description and the description of the exemplary embodiment.
