Definitions
- the invention relates to a lockable cover, especially for use in the surface of a road or footpath, comprising a one-piece closure and a frame.
- Such a cover is known from US-A-2009132 and comprises a closure having a number of arcuate pads, one of these pads being provided with a safety cam of wedge shape which is loaded by a spring to lock the closure within the frame.
- the closure can be unlocked by means of a simple lever and then be removed, which is necessary for cleaning the well with regular intervals.
- the object of the invention is to obviate the need to provide a spring and a plunger without renouncing the possibility to lock the closure.
- the closure has at least one slot-like through opening which extends from one peripheral region to an opposite peripheral region to divide the closure into first and second portions, the opening at one end forming a gap in the periphery and at the other end stopping short of the periphery to provide a bridge, the arrangement being such that a force applied to the closure at its periphery, in the plane of the closure and perpendicularly to said slot-like opening causes resilient relative movement of said first and second portions about said bridge to release the closure from the frame.
- these openings can either be positioned in a sinus-like configuration or in a comb-like one.
- the closure has at one side cams or pins and at the side facing away from the side of the cams or pins a safety cam engaging beneath the adjacent side of the frame in a locking recess.
- the safety cam can thus be released for cleaning purposes by a specially adapted tool which has to be positioned in the space between the frame and the closure.
- the closure consists of a suitable material, as for instance cast iron with spheroidal graphite or steel. Such materials provide the necessary resilience to the closure for releasing the safety cam.
- the cover of Figs. 1-5 comprises an inlet grid 1 and a frame 2 of rectangular shape for instance of a gulley for use at the side of a road.
- the closure 1 comprises a number of equal grid bars 3, having substantially a rectangular cross section extending downwardly in flange shape increasing to the centre (vide Fig. 3), whereas both outermost grid bars 4 (Fig. 2) and 5a, 5b respectively (Fig. 1, 2 and 4) are somewhat different as far as the support thereof is concerned.
- the grid bars usually rest at their ends with a bridge 6 interconnecting said bars (Fig. 2 and 3) on a support surface 8 extending inwardly from an enclosure surface 7 (Fig. 2-4) of the frame 2.
- the grid bar 4 at the one end of the grid (Fig. 2) is substantially beam-like and rests over the complete length thereof on the support surface, at this side of the frame 2.
- the other end of the closure is represented in Fig. 1 in two different embodiments.
- the closure 1 of the one embodiment is pivotably secured to the frame 2 around a horizontal axis 9 (Fig. 1, 2, 5) by means of two pivot pins 10 secured to the bar 5a of the grid end (one of which is shown in Fig. 1).
- the pins are received in such a broad bore 11 (Fig. 1 and 5) of the frame, that the grid bar 5a, which has at the central portion a substantially beam-like cross-section with rounded lower side 12 and the end thereof merging into the bridge 6, can rest on the support surface 8 of the frame 2.
- the closure 1 rests in the closed position with three of its sides on the support surface 8 of the frame.
- the closure can also removably be embodied, in which case the grid bar 5b at said end of the closure 1 is provided with two laterally extending plunge cams 13, only one of which being shown in Fig. 1, which engage in a facing broad recess 14 (Fig. 4) of the frame 2.
- the grid bar 5b has advantageously over the entire length a beam-like cross section, with flat lower side 15, with which the bar 5b is supported by the support surface 8 of said portion of the frame.
- the closure is then circumferentially supported by the support surface 8 of the frame.
- the central portion of the bar 4 is, at the other end of the closure, provided with a laterally extending locking or safety cam 16, engaging in a recess 17 of the frame 2, so that the closure can rest on the support surface 8 of the frame without being obstructed.
- the closure is resiliently embodied in the direction perpendicular to the grid bar 5a having the pivot pins 10 or perpendicular to the grid bar 5b having the plunge cams 13.
- the end grid bar 4 is in the vicinity of the safety cam 16 (Fig. 1 and 2) provided with a locking recess 19 which is adapted to receive the insertion end of a tool (not shown).
- a tool not shown.
- the closure having the plunge cams 13 at the end grid bar 5b can also be swung upwardly in relation to the recess 14 and subsequently be removed. This may be necessary for cleaning purposes of the lower structure of the gulley.
- the second embodiment of the cover which is shown in Fig. 6 and 7, comprises a closure 20 and a frame 21, for use as a head gulley in the surface of a footpath, at the side of a road.
- the closure 20 is supported with the face 23 extending inwardly from the enclosure face 22 at the peripheral flange edge 24 on the support surface 26 extending inwardly from the enclosure face 25 of the frame 21.
- the enclosure 20 is usually provided with two plunge cams 29, engaging beneath a cam 30 extending at both sides inwardly at said location from the support surface 26 of the frame 21.
- the material of the closure 20 is alternately missing from one side to the other, extending up to in the vicinity of the peripheral edge 24 thereof (Fig. 6) forming openings 31, such that seen from above the closure has a "sinus” like configuration, so that the support surface 26 of the frame 21 can alternately be seen at opposite sides thereof, between adjacent grid bars 20a.
- a prolongation 33 extends downwardly beneath the support surface 26, and is provided with a locking recess 34.
- the peripheral edge 24 thereof is provided with a recess 35 (Fig. 6) and the closure 20 is provided with a downwardly extending locking or safety cam 36, which in the closed position of the closure 20 can engage in the recess 34 of above-said prolongation.
- the safety cam 36 can be brought out of engagement with the locking recess 35 under spring action of the closure by means of a tool with fitting insertion end (not shown).
- FIG. 8 A last embodiment of a closure of a cover is schematically shown in Fig. 8, which closure 20b has in plan view a round configuration which, at two locations at the periphery, is provided with a plunge cam 29a and a safety cam 16a, cooperating with a locking recess 19a and a slot 31 a provided in the frame 21.
- This embodiment has only one slot-like opening 37 so that the closure 20b is resiliently embodied in the direction perpendicular to both portions of the closure which are connected by the bridge 38.
