Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cover for a drainage device, in particular a drainage channel, with a channel body, which can be placed on an upper edge of the channel body cover, which has in the gutter body projecting Arret michsstege and at least one fastening element for securing the cover on the gutter body, or on a on the gutter body to reinforce the upper edge lying frame, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Drainage arrangements in particular drainage channels or the like, in which the cover can be fastened on the channel body by means of fastening elements, are known.
  • a drainage channel with attachable to a gutter body cover grate known.
  • the locking of the cover grating is achieved by means of a leaf-shaped covering grate-locking spring, which has oppositely formed projections which engage in recesses of the side walls of the channel body. After the engagement or engagement of the projections, the cover grate locking spring assumes a substantially stress-free position in the interior of the channel body.
  • This known dewatering device with a cover grate-locking spring has the disadvantage that the locking spring is arranged in the interior of the channel body, and that transverse to the longitudinal axis. Thus, the channel cross-section is not free, which can lead to blockages, or makes the cleaning much more difficult.
  • Another disadvantage is that the walls of the gutter body recesses - have, which serve to engage the locking spring. The recesses are arranged substantially at half the height of the channel body. Thus, the stability and the life of the gutter body are compromised in view of the high surface loads.
  • the invention is therefore the object of developing a cover for a dewatering device with a mounting arrangement of the type mentioned in that on the one hand ensures a durable attachment of the cover on the gutter body with a simple manufacture and assembly of the mounting arrangement and on the other hand, a free channel cross section is made possible.
  • a basic idea of the invention is that the fastener is passed through the recess.
  • the stability of the attachment thus does not depend solely on the fastener and its stability.
  • the connection is a locking connection.
  • the fastening element is designed as a locking spring.
  • the fastening element has a central portion, at the ends of which projections are provided, through which the locking of the cover with the channel body takes place.
  • the protrusions protrude from the recesses in the Arret michsstegen out.
  • the central portion extends immediately below the cover and is preferably attachable to a lower surface of the cover.
  • the recess has a lower edge, so that the fastening element between this lower edge and a locking surface of the recess is in the locked state.
  • the fastener can then be very simple and lightweight, since it acts like a snapped into a lock latch door latch.
  • the fastening element which protrudes from the recesses engages below the frame in the recesses of the body walls, wherein the frame serves as a holding element for the locking.
  • the locking takes place in the upper region of the channel body immediately below the cover.
  • the projections of the fastener which are inclined to form against the horizontal Be used oblique surfaces, mirror-symmetrical and conically tapered.
  • the projections have a first and a second angled portions.
  • the second angled portion is nose-shaped and engages in the recess of the Arret michssteges to connect the fastener with the cover.
  • the free ends of the fastener extend in the direction of the channel interior.
  • the retaining lugs protrude from the recesses of the locking webs.
  • the fastening element can be inserted relatively easily into the cover.
  • the cover can be placed and fixed on the gutter body, wherein the retaining lugs engage in the recesses of the gutter walls.
  • the frame is angled in the direction of the channel bottom and forms a locking surface for engagement with the fastening element.
  • the angled frame portion and also projecting downwards in the direction of the gutter bottom Arret istsstege run in the attached state of the cover on the gutter body side by side.
  • the Befest onlysseieri are preferably formed such that when placing the cover on the gutter body which project from the recesses of the cover retaining lugs of the fasteners on the gutter body or the frame along slide.
  • the fastening elements are elastically deformable by exerting a compressive force in the direction of the channel interior. In a final support position of the cover on the gutter body, the retaining lugs snap into the recesses.
  • the cover is stretched by the fastener in the locked state of the cover on the body or on the frame.
  • the cover is thus fixed backlash in the gutter body.
  • the fastening element is designed such that the force necessary for the deformation of the fastening element is lower than the force required to release the locking and to lift off the cover.
  • the cover is securely mounted on the gutter body and removed only when necessary repair or cleaning work.
  • the recesses in the gutter walls, in which the retaining lugs of the fastening element are mounted in the locked position are designed to be closed in the outer surface area.
  • the width of the fastener preferably corresponds substantially to the width of the recesses in the gutter walls.
  • the fastening element may preferably be formed in one piece, wherein a partially integral design is also possible.
  • the fastening element can be formed both from metal, as well as a plastic part, in particular as an injection molded part.
  • the cover can be formed from sheet steel, stainless steel or cast iron as well as plastic.
  • the cover is preferably formed as a web grid.
  • the fastening element can be dimensioned such that the central portion of the fastening element can be arranged below a web of the grid.
  • the drainage channel has a gutter body 10 which can be installed in the ground and a cover 20 which can be placed on the gutter body 10.
  • the locking spring 30 is used for attaching the cover 20 to the gutter body 10.
  • the gutter body 10 is formed substantially V-shaped, with another design, such as U-shaped, is also possible.
  • the channel body 10 is made of polymer concrete and consists of a lower body with side walls 11 and a frame 14.
  • the frame 14 serves on the one hand to reinforce the upper edge 12 of the channel walls 11 and the support of the cover 20 and on the other hand as a holding element for locking the Cover 20.
  • the frame 14 is formed of metal.
  • the cover 20 is bent as web ridge from sheet metal, wherein another embodiment, for example, as a mesh grid is also possible.
  • the cover 20 has a curved double surface 24 for the respective longitudinal edges.
  • the double surface 24 merges integrally into locking webs 21, which are bent downwards in the direction of the channel bottom.
  • the bent down locking webs 21 have upwardly in the surface direction by punching tipping ends 26.
  • the ends 26 of the locking webs 21 serve as a support of the cover 20, in the region which is farthest to them. As a result, the bending strength of the cover 20 is considerably increased.
  • the frame 14 When placing the cover 20 on the gutter body 10 is the double surface 24 on the frame 14.
  • the frame 14 is angled in the direction of the channel interior.
  • the frame 14 also has a projection 16 which is dimensioned such that its height corresponds to the height of the double surface 24 and thus the edges of the cover 20 are included in the gutter longitudinal direction of the frame 14.
  • the locking webs 21 cover the recesses 13, which are provided in the channel walls 11 for locking.
  • the locking webs 21 are provided with recesses 22.
  • the recesses 22 correspond to the recesses 13 and 17 in the channel walls 11 and frames 14.
  • the recesses 22 are dimensioned such that the locking spring 30 is guided in the recesses 22.
  • the recesses 13 in the channel walls 11 are formed such that they are partially covered by an angled frame portion 15.
  • the frame portion 15 in this case has a locking surface 17.
  • the frame 14 serves not only to protect the upper edges 12 of the channel walls 11, but also as a locking means.
  • the recesses 22 have a lower edge 36.
  • the lower edge 36 is formed such that in the locked state, the fastener 30 between the lower edge 36 and the locking surface 17 of the recess inserted and is acted upon lifting the cover 20 with a shearing force.
  • the locking spring 30 is formed leaf-shaped and has, as also seen in Figure 2, a central portion 31 and two mirror-symmetrical projections 32.
  • the projections 32 are conically tapered and have a first bent portion 33 and a second bent portion 34.
  • the second portion 34 is formed nose-shaped and serves for fastening the locking spring 30 on the one hand with the cover 20 and on the other hand for fastening the cover 20 with inserted locking spring 30 on the channel body 10.
  • the free ends 35 of the locking spring 30 protrude in the direction of the channel interior.
  • FIG 3 shows a perspective view of the cover 20 with inserted locking spring 30.
  • the recesses 22 in the Arret istsstegen 21 are arranged such that the inserted locking spring 30 is mounted with its central portion 31 on the underside of a web 25. From this representation, it can be seen that the central portion 31, which is substantially longer than the projections 32, is dimensioned such that its length substantially corresponds to the width of the cover. The width of the central portion 31 corresponds substantially to the web width. Thus, the locking spring 30 are not visible from above and the lock vandal-proof.
  • the retaining tabs 34 engage in the recesses 22 of the cover 20 and protrude therefrom.
  • the retaining lugs 34 slide along the angled frame portion 15 while exerting a compressive force.
  • the first angled portions 33 of the projections 32 are moved in the direction of the channel interior until the area of the recesses 13 of the channel walls 11 is reached and the retaining tabs 34 snap under the frame portion 15. As a result, a locking of the cover 20 on the channel body 10 is achieved.
  • the lock By exerting a tensile force which is significantly higher than the compressive force, the lock can be solved by the angled portions 33 of the projections 32 are moved in the direction of the channel interior until the retaining lugs are released from the locking surface 17 of the frame portion 15. Thus, the cover can be easily lifted.
