Definitions

  • This invention relates to a frame for supporting a manhole cover and to the combination of the frame and manhole cover.
  • Manhole covers have been known for many years and early examples of such covers are disclosed in UK Patents numbers 27,088 of 1910 and 4221 of 1910, both in the name of Samuel Henry Adams, and documents cited therein.
  • the Adams manhole covers employ generally circular frames which have curved or sloping flanges around the upper end of the frame, the sloping flanges being intended to present an inclined surface, rather than an abrupt edge, as the road material around the manhole erodes away during use.
  • the flanges are provided with an array of holes, or ribs, or other protrusions to assist in anchoring the frame in the road surface and to increase the durability of the road surface in which the frame is anchored.
  • manhole covers and frames therefor are disclosed in GB-A-1,162,434 , GB-A-2 080 373 , GB-A-2 291 452 , GB-A-2 299 603 and US-A-5,240,346 , GB 664 152 A and GB 24 454 A .
  • the invention provides a frame for supporting a manhole cover; the frame comprising an upstanding peripheral wall; support means extending inwardly from at least part of the wall for supporting a manhole cover; and an outer flange extending outwardly from a lower part of the wall for anchoring the frame in the ground; characterised in that the outer flange has disposed over an, in use, upper surface thereof a plurality of ribs for enhancing the anchoring of the flange and stiffening the frame against bending, the frame having one or more corners, and the ribs being at or adjacent the corner(s) of the frame.
  • the frame can be of any shape or size and can for example be circular or non circular in form. Most preferably the frame is rectangular.
  • the plurality of elongate ribs serve to increase the stiffness of the frame and increase its resistance to bending.
  • the presence of such reinforcing protrusions at the corners of the frame has been found to be particularly important with rectangular frames.
  • the protrusions e.g. ribs
  • the ribs are preferably substantially parallel, and at least a central one of said array of ribs may be oriented towards the centre of the frame. For example, when the frame is rectangular, the ribs can be aligned in a diagonal direction with respect to the corners of the frame.
  • the outer flange of the frame preferably has a plurality of wider regions interspersed with a plurality of narrower regions.
  • the wider regions of the outer flange are disposed at the corners of the frame, thereby serving to further stiffen the frame against bending. This is important since loading tends to be concentrated at the corners of the frame.
  • at least the surfaces of the wider regions of the outer flange have a plurality of protrusions (e.g. elongate ribs) disposed thereon.
  • the grout holes present in known manhole unit frames which are intended as a means of anchoring the frame into the bedding mortar, actually increase the stress within the mortar. Therefore, it is most preferred that the frame contains no such grout holes or, if grout holes are present, that they be located away from the corners.
  • the invention provides a manhole cover assembly comprising a frame as hereinbefore defined, and a manhole cover configured so as to be supported in a seat defined by the peripheral wall and the support means.
  • the invention also provides a manhole installation comprising a manhole having a layer of bedding material surrounding the mouth thereof, a frame as hereinbefore defined being set into the bedding material, the outer flange being substantially completely covered by the bedding material; and a manhole cover removably mounted in the frame.
  • the bedding material can be, for example, a mortar or a combination of mortar and a "backfill" material such as asphalt or similar materials.
  • the outer flange can be substantially completely surrounded by mortar, or it can be set into a layer of mortar and a layer of backfill material compacted on top of the flange.
  • Figures 1a and 1b illustrate a known type of manhole cover frame 2 of rectangular form.
  • the frame 2 comprises an upstanding peripheral wall 4 from the lower end of which extends an outer flange 6 which is of substantially uniform width.
  • Outer flange 6 has a relatively low upturned rim 8 at its outermost extent and has a number of webbing elements 10 linking the rim 8 with the upstanding peripheral wall 4 to provide reinforcement thereto.
  • inner ledges 14 and 18 extend part way round the inner side of the wall 4.
  • Frames of the type shown in Figures 1a and 1b in use can be set into a bed of mortar surrounding a manhole such that either the outer flange 6 is wholly contained within the mortar, or such that the flange rests on a layer of mortar and a layer of backfill material such as asphalt is compacted on top of the flange.
  • An array of eight elongate holes 12, known as grout holes, are spaced around the outer flange 6, their function being to provide a means of keying the flange into the surrounding mortar bed to hold the frame in place.
  • Figures 2 to 5 illustrate improved manhole cover frames in accordance with the invention.
  • the manhole assembly comprises a frame 20 and a pair of manhole covers 22 which are of a generally triangular shape. Keyholes 24 are provided in each cover 22 for engagement with a tool for lifting the covers.
  • the frame 20 is of rectangular form and has four corners 26.
  • the frame comprises an upstanding peripheral wall 28, from the lower edge of which a flange 30 extends outwardly.
  • Flange 30 has wider portions 32 at the corners 26 and narrower portions 34 between the corners.
  • webbing elements 36, 38 extend between the flange 30 and the wall 28 to provide reinforcement.
  • Ledges 40, 42 extend inwardly of the peripheral wall 28 to provide a means of supporting the covers 22.
  • the ledges can be ribbed and can span the inner corners of the wall 28, as shown in Figure 4, or they can be of a non-ribbed form and of generally uniform width as shown in Figure 3. It will be appreciated however that the ledges for supporting the manhole covers need not have the shapes shown but can take any of a wide variety of different shapes.
  • the wider portions 32 of the flange are reinforced by means of arrays of aligned substantially parallel ribs 44 which are oriented in a generally diagonal direction.
  • Ribs 44 perform several functions. Firstly they serve to reinforce the corners to provide a stiffening effect to improve the resistance of the frame to bending and distortion under the weight of road traffic.
  • the ribs increase the surface area over which the flange is in contact with the mortar 46 (or combination of mortar and backfill material) into which the frame is embedded in use. This latter effect is shown more clearly in Figure 5.
  • the flange 30 is shown as being wholly embedded in the bedding mortar. However, alternatively, the flange could be set into a layer of mortar and a layer of backfill material such as asphalt compacted onto the top surface of the flange as previously indicated.
  • the ribs 44 thus enable the flange to be retained more securely in the mortar and this means that the frame is better able to withstand the forces (represented by the double headed arrow D in Figure 5) created by vehicles braking on the manhole covers 22.
  • the flange 30 lacks the grout holes of the known manhole frame shown in Figures 1a and 1b, and the absence of the grout holes removes another source of stress in the mortar 46.
  • the ribs 44 are formed as raised projections from the upper surface, of the flange.
  • the ribs can be defined by a series of elongate recesses 48, the surfaces 50 of the flange between the recesses 48 defining the ribs.
