Title: Gutter element for drainage systems

The invention relates to a drainage channel element for drainage systems, consisting of a concrete body with a U-shaped cross-section and a loosely inserted or anchored/screwed cover, e.g. made of concrete, cast iron or steel.

To build drainage systems, such drainage elements are used to form channels one after the other in parking lots, garage driveways, on roadsides, etc., thus enabling the drainage of surface water.

When installing such drainage channel elements in the ground, the disadvantage often arises that the channel element is raised by frost and subsequent thawing, which is referred to as "floating of the channel element".

The present invention is based on the object of preventing such floating of one or more channel elements during installation and due to the effects of frost and subsequent thawing.

To solve the problem, a drainage channel element of the type mentioned above is proposed, which is characterized in that at least one outwardly projecting anchoring element is inserted on or in the outer surfaces of the concrete body,

The drainage channel element according to the invention achieves the significant advantage that floating of the channel element due to frost and thawing is avoided. Furthermore, such floating is also reliably avoided during installation.

Further additions to the drainage channel element according to the invention are presented in the subclaims. According to claim 2, the anchoring can be removably inserted into the outer surfaces of the concrete body.

A further possible embodiment of the drainage channel element according to the invention consists in that preferably in the lower region of the concrete body at least one, but preferably two, boreholes are provided running transversely through the concrete body, through which an iron rod protruding on both sides of the concrete body can be pushed through as an anchor.

According to claim 4, a plastic pipe can be inserted into each bore for cladding.

Finally, it is possible to provide threaded holes in the walls of the gutter element, into which

Threaded bolts or rods can be screwed in, which then protrude from the walls of the concrete body as anchors. It is also possible to cast bolts or rods into the walls of the concrete body.

The drainage channel element according to the invention will be explained in more detail using the example of a preferred embodiment with reference to the drawing.

The drawing shows

Fig. 1 shows a section through a gutter element according to the invention.

Fig. 2 shows a top view of the drainage channel element according to Fig. 1.

The drainage channel element according to the invention consists of a U-shaped concrete body 1, the interior 2 of which forms the channel. Mounting brackets 3 for an inserted cover grid 4 are arranged on the concrete body 1.

In the lower area of the concrete body 1, two transverse holes 5 are arranged at a distance from each other. In these holes there are pipe sleeves 6. Steel rods 7 serving as reinforcement elements can be pushed through these pipe sleeves 6, which protrude from the side walls of the concrete body on both sides. When encased in concrete, these steel rods can also be connected to the structural steel mats of the adjacent surface elements.

This measure prevents the channel element from floating during installation or due to frost and thawing.
