Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cover arrangement of channels, in particular for dewatering sports facilities, playgrounds or the like according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the cover elements each comprise a cover plate and two side walls supporting the cover plate.
  • the side walls themselves have through openings through which the water from the sports facilities can enter the channels.
  • the cover elements are each provided with a connecting pin and a corresponding receiving opening for detachable connection to adjacent cover elements in their end region.
  • a particularly disadvantageous feature of this cover arrangement for channels, in particular for draining sports facilities has been the rigid attachment of two adjacent cover elements to one another and to the two cover elements on the track.
  • the rigid definition namely prevents any changes in length of the cover elements caused by the action of temperature, ie both any expansion at high temperatures, for example occurring in summer, and any shrinkage at low temperatures, for example occurring in winter.
  • a compensation of the temperature-related changes in length or a non-destructive reduction of the resulting material tensions cannot take place in each individual cover element.
  • this cover arrangement lacks an adjustment option for the cover elements in order to avoid inaccurate laying of the channels , especially for draining sports facilities.
  • the assembly of this cover arrangement turns out to be complex, not least because of the spring-elastic clamping locks to be additionally attached to each cover element.
  • a disadvantage of this cover arrangement has finally been shown to be its holder as a whole, since each cover element can be lifted off the respective channel in spite of the connecting pin and spring-elastic clamping lock even with a low mechanical impact load.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a cover assembly for channels, in particular for dewatering sports facilities, playgrounds or the like, according to the preamble of claim 1, which compensate for temperature-related changes in length, accurately, easily and quickly assembled and without large structural Effort can be kept safely in its cover position.
  • the inventive design of the receiving opening approximately in the form of an elongated hole which extends in the longitudinal direction of the cover element ensures that temperature-related changes in length are compensated for, on the one hand without destroying individual cover elements and on the other hand without loosening or jumping out of individual cover elements from their connection with the adjacent cover elements.
  • the detachable connection with adjacent cover elements, which are held displaceably in the longitudinal direction relative to one another, makes it possible to absorb both expansion movements of the cover arrangement as a whole as a result of high temperatures and shrinking movements of the cover arrangement as a whole as a result of low temperatures.
  • the tolerance ranges specified by sports organizations today can be easily adhered to in this context.
  • the essentially elongated receiving opening of the cover elements enables a cover arrangement for a 400 m track - in accordance with predetermined tolerances.
  • the cover arrangement according to the invention can be installed very precisely, simply and quickly, since compensation can take place without difficulty due to the longitudinal displaceability of the cover elements when the channels are laid inaccurately.
  • the individual covering elements and thus the entire covering arrangement according to the invention can be held securely in their intended covering position.
  • the measures are in particular according to claims 2 and 3. It is entirely conceivable to design the receiving opening in an alternative embodiment to the measures according to claim 3 in parallelogram form.
  • the measures according to claim 4 facilitate a certain self-adjustment of the respective connecting pin in the corresponding receiving opening and thus of the respective cover element to the corresponding adjacent cover elements.
  • the deformable membrane or the like can be easily pushed aside in the event of temperature fluctuations.
  • the features according to claims 10 and 11 serve a simplified assembly if the cover elements are to be screwed to the channels.
  • the guide element arranged on the underside of the cover plate of a cover element and extending approximately perpendicularly from the cover plate is suitable as a guide both for a drill for subsequently providing the cover plate with a through hole and for a screw or the like which is subsequently passed through the through hole, which passes through the cover plate, can be passed.
  • the through hole on the top of the cover plate is provided with a countersink, so that the countersunk head of the screw is flush with the top of the cover plate.
  • cover elements of the cover arrangement according to the invention are designed to be extremely stable and elastic in accordance with the measures according to claim 17, in particular, they are designed to be very unbreakable when subjected to pressure.
  • the embodiment of a cover element 10 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 comprises an approximately horizontally extending cover plate 12 and two side walls 14 adjoining the cover plate 12, approximately vertically extending and supporting the cover plate 12.
  • the transition region 16 between the cover plate 12 on the one hand and the two side walls 14, on the other hand, are rounded in order to avoid injuries to the athletes, children playing or the like.
  • the side walls 14 are further provided with through openings 18, through which the water to be removed from the surface 20 of the sports facility, the playground or the like reaches an approximately U-shaped channel 30.
  • the cover element 10 lies with its two side walls 14 on the U-shaped channel 30. Stiffening ribs 24 or the like, which connect the underside 26 of the cover plate 12 and the inner sides 28 of the side walls 14 to one another, are simultaneously provided for centering the cover element 10 with respect to the U-shaped channel 30.
  • the approximately U-shaped channel 30 which essentially consists of an approximately horizontally extending bottom wall 32 and two adjoining, approximately vertically extending side walls 34, the water to be disposed of is fed to a collecting basin (not shown) or the like.
  • the gutter 30 2 differs from that of FIG. 1 only by an additional upstand 36 which is provided for supporting adjacent soil 40 covered with lawn 38.
  • the upstand 36 is arranged slightly offset to one of the two side walls 34 and in continuation to this side wall 34.
  • FIG. 3 shows another embodiment of a cover element 10, which largely corresponds to the embodiment of the cover element 10 according to FIGS. 1 and 2.
  • the cover element 10 according to FIG. 3 has an adjusting device 42, which can be described in more detail below.
  • the adjusting device 42 comprises a plurality of receiving bores 44 arranged on the underside 26 of the cover plate 12 of the covering element 10, of which only one receiving bore 44 is shown in FIG. 3, and a bolt 46, pin or the like which can be inserted into the receiving bore 44.
  • the adjustment device 42 is provided to compensate for inaccuracies in the laying of the channels 30, 48 in the region of the slot channels 48.
  • the slot channel 48 is formed from an approximately horizontally extending bottom wall 32, two adjoining the bottom wall 32 and vertically extending side walls 34 and an approximately parallel to the bottom wall 32 extending top wall 50 connecting the two side walls 34 with a longitudinal slot 52 provided therein.
  • the water to be disposed of passes through the openings 18 in the side walls 14 of the cover element 10 and the longitudinal slot 52 into an approximately channel-shaped interior 54 of the slot channel 48. From the channel-shaped interior 54, the water to be disposed of is finally fed to a collecting basin (not shown) or the like .
  • the bolt 46, pin or the like extends approximately perpendicularly from the underside 26 of the cover plate 12 and extends in its longitudinal extent beyond the essentially parallel side walls 14.
  • the bolt 46, pin or the like is provided for centering the cover element 10, one end 56 of which is detachably held by the receiving bore 44 after insertion and the other end 58 engages in the longitudinal slot 52 of the slot channel 48.
  • the individual cover element 10 according to the two embodiments according to FIGS. 1 to 3 is furthermore, according to FIGS. 4 and 5, for detachable connection to adjacent cover elements 10 (not shown) in the end region 60, 62 with at least one connecting pin 64 and / or provided at least one corresponding receiving opening 66.
  • the receiving opening 66 - as clearly shown in FIGS. 6 and 7 - is essentially elongated and extends approximately in the longitudinal direction of the cover element 10. Since the individual cover elements are designed to be longitudinally displaceable with respect to one another, temperature-related length changes, ie both elongation and elongation, can occur Shrinkage in length, the cover elements 10 can be easily compensated. In this way it is prevented that, on the one hand, individual cover elements 10 are irreparably damaged due to material stresses caused by the effect of temperature and, on the other hand, that individual cover elements 10 automatically detach from adjacent cover elements 10 by lifting or the like.
  • the essentially elongated receiving opening 66 is designed in such a way that the connecting pin 64 with little play in the receiving opening 66 can be inserted or pulled out of the receiving opening 66.
  • the elongated receiving opening 66 is designed in such a way that the connecting pin 64 can be displaced in the receiving opening 66 toward its two longitudinal ends 68 under the application of force. In particular, the force applied to the two longitudinal ends 68 of the receiving opening 66 increases.
  • the receiving opening 66 comprises an approximately round central part 70 and two approximately rectangular recesses 72 which adjoin one another diametrically to the round central part 70. While the inner diameter 74 of the round central part 70 is slightly larger than the outer diameter 76 of the connecting pin 64, the clear width 78 of the opposing walls 80 of each of the recesses 72 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter 76 of the connecting pin 64.
  • the receiving opening 66 is of a deformable membrane 82 or the like for the purpose of increasing the force exerted on the connecting pin 64 when the cover element 10 is displaced on the one hand and for self-adjustment or assembly aid when inserting the connecting pin 64 into the receiving opening 66 on the other hand closed or covered.
  • the deformable membrane 82 is only provided with a round, corresponding to the outer diameter 76 of the connecting pin 64 and approximately central to the round central part 70 of the receiving opening 66 arranged recess 84 provided.
  • the adjusting device 42 consists, among other things, of a multiplicity of receiving bores 44 which are arranged on the underside 26 of the cover plate 12 of the cover element 10.
  • the plurality of receiving bores 44 are regularly spaced apart from one another and arranged in at least one row 86.
  • the central longitudinal axes 88 of each receiving bore 44 of the row 86 lie approximately on a straight line 90 which runs differently from the longitudinal direction of the cover element 10.
  • the angle ⁇ between the straight line 90, on which the central longitudinal axes 88 of each receiving bore 44 of the row 86 lie, and the central longitudinal axis 92 of the cover element 10 or a straight line 94 parallel thereto is 0 to 45 °, preferably 15 °.
  • the bolt 46, pin or the like provided for centering can thus be gradually shifted from a receiving bore 44 into one of the remaining receiving bores 44, as a result of which the cover element 10 is laterally displaced accordingly in the longitudinal slot 52 of the slot channel 48 when the bolt 46, pin or the like engages . In this way, inaccuracies in the laying of the slot channel 48 can be compensated for.
  • the wall 96 which surrounds the receiving bores 44, is connected in one piece to the cover plate 12.
  • the wall 96 can be slightly prestressed in the direction of the central longitudinal axis 88 of each receiving bore 44, so that the bolt 46, pin or the like remains in the receiving bore 44 after being inserted by hand.
  • each cover element 10 of any length can be precisely, quickly and easily adjusted or installed in relation to an inexactly laid slot channel 48.
  • the cover element 10 according to FIGS. 4 and 5 is also provided with three guide elements 98, which are likewise arranged on the underside 26 of the cover plate 12 and extend approximately perpendicularly from the underside 26.
  • Each of the guide elements 98 is approximately conically tapered away from the underside 26 of the cover plate 12 and is provided with a central longitudinal bore 100.
  • the central longitudinal bore 100 has an inner diameter which essentially corresponds to the inner diameter of a through bore (not shown) to be subsequently brought into the respective cover element 10 by a drill (not shown).
  • a screw 102 which extends through the cover plate 12, as indicated schematically in FIG. 1, can then be inserted through the through bore and screwed to the channel 30 for fastening the cover element 10.
  • diametrically opposite grooves 104 are introduced in the side walls 34 of the channel 30 for this purpose, which receive a cross member 106 with a thread for locking the screw 102.
  • the respective guide element 98 serves at the same time for guiding and aligning the screw 102, so that its assembly or engagement with the thread provided in the cross member 106 is considerably simplified.
  • the guide element 98 partially receives the screw 102.
  • the cover element 10 is connected according to FIGS. 9 to 12 via non-positive and / or positive locking elements 108, 110, 112 to the respectively adjacent cover elements 10 such that the connecting pins 64 are held in the corresponding receiving openings 66 in a non-self-releasing manner are.
  • the securing elements 108 in FIG. 9 are designed as latching devices which consist of at least one sawtooth-like latching lug 114 formed on the connecting pin 64.
  • the locking lug 114 is provided with a tooth flank 120 which points to the free end 116 of the connecting pin 64 and is oblique to the longitudinal axis 118 of the connecting pin 64 and which simplifies the introduction of the connecting pin 64 into the receiving opening 66 of two adjacent cover elements 10 due to their design.
  • the locking lug 114 has a tooth flank 122 which is approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 118 of the connecting pin 64 and which, after the connecting pin 64 of a cover element 10 has been introduced into the receiving opening 66 of an adjacent cover element 10 in the edge region of the receiving opening 66 on the underside 26 of the cover plate 12 of the adjacent cover element 10 comes to rest.
  • the securing elements 110, 112 in FIGS. 11 and 12 are alternatively designed as resilient locking washers, duo clips or the like, which, after the connecting pin 64 of a covering element 10 has been inserted into the receiving opening 66 of the adjacent covering element 10 on the free end 116 of the Connection pin 64 can be applied and then comes with its upper side 124 or a part 126 of the upper side 124 on the underside 26 of the cover plate 12 of the adjacent cover element 10 in the edge area of the receiving opening 66 to the plant. A displacement of the connecting pin 64 in the direction of its longitudinal axis 118 is excluded in this way.
  • the cover element 10, in particular its transition region 16 between the cover plate 12 and the side walls 14, can be provided with through bores (not shown) with a diameter of, for example, 5 to 10 mm, preferably 5 mm be so that the cover member 10 is made permeable to air.
  • a noticeable reduction in the wind load can be achieved by a geometrical area of the through bores of at least approximately 1%, preferably of at least approximately 5%, of the horizontal projection area of the cover element 10.
  • cover element 10 is made of glass fiber reinforced plastic or the like, whereby its stability and break resistance are increased many times over.
