Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for crowning an access or exhaust chimney consisting of a removable tilting grid resting, when the device is in the closed position, in a frame sealed in the ground.
  • EP-A-0085306 thus discloses a grid pivotally mounted in its support frame and the locking of which, in the closed position, is obtained by means of a median bar whose end located at the opposite of the articulation axis comes, by elastic deformation, to snap under a stop of the frame.
  • EP-A-0280872 also discloses a grid articulated on its frame and at least one bar of which is provided, at its end opposite the articulation axis, with elastic fingers which, in the closed position of the grid, are housed under a projection of the frame.
  • a grid articulated on its frame and at least one bar of which is provided, at its end opposite the articulation axis, with elastic fingers which, in the closed position of the grid, are housed under a projection of the frame.
  • the grid is divided along its pivot axis into a middle part and two lateral parts connected elastically to the middle part, one end of the middle part adjoining the pivot axis being intended to bear against a corresponding surface of the frame by exerting a torque opposing the movement of the grid around its pivot axis.
  • the invention aims to further improve the technique described above by creating a crowning device in which on the one hand any accidental opening of the grid and on the other hand the untimely closing of the latter when it is in position open are avoided and this thanks to an elastic action of certain elements of the grid.
  • a device for crowning an access or evacuation chimney comprising a frame and a removable grid articulated along an axis XX of the frame, consisting of a series of bars connected two by two, by at least a spacer and extending perpendicular to the axis of articulation XX of the grid, characterized in that the grid further comprises at least one intermediate bar connected to the other bars of the grid by its end opposite the axis of hinge XX and the free end of which cooperates by elastic bending of the intermediate bar in the plane of the grid with means projecting upwards to keep the grid in the open and closed position, provided on the frame, these means comprising chamfered and inclined surfaces which cooperate with inclined surfaces provided on said intermediate bar.
  • the crowning device comprises a frame 1 intended to be sealed in the ground, for example in a pavement, at the upper end of an evacuation or access chimney (not shown) and of a removable articulated grid 2 forming a cover .
  • the frame 1 has in plan a generally square or rertangular shape and has a vertical skirt 3, provided at its periphery with a peripheral support sole 4 serving to seal the frame and an inner flange 5 serving as a support surface for grid 2.
  • Two opposite sides 6, 7 of the skirt 3 each have in the immediate vicinity of a side 8 which is perpendicular to them, a cavity 9 of axis X-X parallel to the side 8, the two cavities 9 being coaxial.
  • the skirt 3 is terminated by a side 10 opposite and parallel to the side 8.
  • Each cavity 9 is formed in the skirt 3 of the frame 1 above the inner collar 5 approximately halfway between this collar and the top of the skirt 3.
  • the part of the collar 5 secured to the side 8 of the skirt 3 has, near its ends, two openings 11A, 11B defining between them an intermediate portion 12 each of whose two ends, parallel to the sides 6 and 7 of the skirt, has a chamfered surface 13 directed towards the inside of the frame and moving away from the opposite wall of the corresponding opening 11A, 11B.
  • Each stop 14 has in section the shape of a rectangular trapezoid. It is parallel to the sides 6 and 7 of the frame and consequently to the bars of the grid 2, and has on its side opposite the corresponding opening 11A, 11B, an inclined surface or ramp 15 ending in a horizontal apex 16.
  • the grid 2 of generally rectangular shape, is constituted by a series of parallel bars, each bar being connected to the neighboring bars by at least one spacer.
  • the grid comprises two external bars 17 each having near one of their ends, a pivot 18 intended to be housed in one of the cavities 9 of the frame 1, both pivots 18 being coaxial, of axis YY.
  • Two intermediate bars 19A, 19B which are connected by their ends opposite to the axis YY of articulation of the grid, on the one hand to the external bars 17 and on the other hand to bars 20 of a central part of the grid , by single spacers 21A, 21B, each have at its free end close to the axis YY, a vertical projection 22 directed downwards, the most inner longitudinal face, that is to say the one closest to the middle of grid 2 has an inclined surface or ramp 23, the inclination of this ramp being identical to that of the corresponding ramp 15 of the associated stop 14.
  • the connecting bars 20 constituting the central part of the grid complete the constitution thereof.
  • the grid 2 is pinched at the free ends of the bars 17, this operation being made possible by the natural elasticity of the material constituting the grid 2 which is made for example in spheroidal graphite cast iron.
  • the pivots 18 are thus placed opposite the cavities 9 of the frame 1 into which they penetrate when the clamping force is released.
  • the spacing of the bars 19A, 19B takes place in the plane of the grid 2.
  • the presence of a projection 22 located at a distance from the axis XX greater than its radius makes it necessary to provide in the flange 5 the openings 11A and 11B which avoid blocking of rotation by contact between the projections 22 and the flange 5 of the frame 1.
  • the lifting movement of the grid 2 causes the inclined surfaces 23 to slide on the ramps 15 of the stops 14 and therefore, a lateral elastic spacing of the bars 19A, 19B relative to their rest position.
  • a bar forming a lever is generally used.
  • the intermediate bars which by elastic deformation in the plane of the grid, ensure the immobilization of the grid both in the open position and in the closed position , cooperating on the one hand with the ramps 15 of the stops 14 carried by the flange 5 and on the other hand, with the chamfered surfaces 13 of the intermediate part 12 of the flange, have projections 22 directed downwards which require provide in the collar 5 openings 11A, 11B for the passage of these projections during the rotation of the grid.
  • intermediate bars do not have a projection, but have ends of cylindrical or spherical shape, identical to those of other bars such as bars 17 and 20 of the grid.
  • FIG. 6 Such a variant is partially shown in Fig. 6.
  • the frame 1 has stops 31 which extend over the entire width of the flange 5 parallel to the bars of the grid.
  • Each of these stops 31 comprises a lateral ramp 32 intended to cooperate with an additional ramp 33 provided on each bar 29B in order to ensure its elastic spacing in the plane of the grid during the rotational movement of the latter and a chamfer end 34 allowing, by cooperation with the corresponding bar 29B, to let the said bar return to the rest position when the grid is in the open position in order to ensure that it is blocked against any untimely closing movement.
  • the grid of the crowning device comprises two intermediate bars ensuring, in cooperation with means provided on the frame, the maintenance of the grid in the open and closed position.
  • the grid has only one intermediate bar, preferably arranged in the central part of the grid and cooperating with corresponding holding means provided on the frame.
