Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for removably locking a pad or cover on a frame.
  • Such a device comprising fixing screws passing through corresponding bores of the pad and having their threaded end portions anchored in threaded holes in the frame.
  • Each fixing screw has its head embedded in a housing issuing from the pad while being supported on a flat face at the bottom of this housing, so as to block the pad on the frame by tightening the screws.
  • a sealing washer of elastomeric material, such as rubber, and a metal washer are successively interposed between the flat bottom face of the housing and the screw head.
  • the present invention aims to eliminate the above disadvantages by providing a device for removably locking a buffer or cover on a frame, comprising at least one fixing screw passing through a hole of the pad and having its threaded portion anchored to the frame and its head embedded in a housing opening the buffer being supported on a flat face at the bottom of the housing so as to lock the pad on the frame by tightening the screw, a sealing washer and a metal washer being successively interposed between the flat face and the screw head, and which is characterized in that the metal washer is provided with at least one means cooperating with internal parts of the housing for preventing rotation of the metal washer during tightening of the fixing screw.
  • the anti-rotation means of the metal washer comprises a radial fin.
  • the metal washer comprises two diametrically opposed radial fins.
  • the threaded end of the fixing screw passes through a bore of an inner wall of the frame and is screwed into a nut imprisoned in a housing of the frame and delimited in the upper part by the inner wall of the frame so that the nut is blocked. in support under this wall after tightening the fixing screw.
  • the internal portions forming stops of each fin of the metal washer are constituted by internal faces of the housing of form conjugated to the fin.
  • the pad is fixed in a circumferential base of the frame while being in support of metal-to-metal contact with practically no clearance with the walls of the rabbet of the frame by machining the contact faces of the walls of the frame and the buffer.
  • the device comprises four fixing screws respectively locking four corners of the buffer to the frame.
  • the frame and the buffer are fixed to each other by the fixing screws before sealing the frame, by concrete, in a rebate bordering an opening to be closed off the ground.
  • the reference numeral 1 designates a frame of generally rectangular shape that can be embedded in the roadway to be flush with it and on which is mounted a buffer or cover 2.
  • the frame 1 and the cover 2 can be part of a look of roadway.
  • the frame 1 may have a circular shape, instead of being rectangular.
  • the lid 2 is removably attached to the frame 1 by fastening screws 3, for example four in number, being located respectively at the four corners of the lid 2.
  • Each fastening screw 3 has its head 4 embedded in a housing 5 opening to the outer flat face 6a of the upper wall 6 of the cover 2, which preferably is flush with the frame in the locked position of the cover 2 to the frame 1.
  • each screw head 4 is supported on a flat face 7 of the bottom of the housing 5 of the cover 2 by means of a sealing washer of material elastomer 8, such as rubber, bearing on the flat face 7 and a metal washer 9 located between the washer 8 and the screw head 4.
  • a sealing washer of material elastomer 8 such as rubber
  • each fixing screw 3 passes through a bore 11 of the cover 2 and extends perpendicularly to the upper wall 6 of the cover 2.
  • the threaded end portion 10a of the rod 10 of each fixing screw 3 is anchored to the frame 1 so as to allow each screw 3 to be tightened to lock the cover 2 to the frame 1.
  • the cover 2 is fixed in a peripheral seat rebate 12 of the frame 1 being in support, metal on metal with virtually no clearance with the inner faces 12a 1 , 12b 1 of the walls 12a, 12b of the rabbet 12 by machining the contact faces.
  • Figure 2 shows that the side wall 12a of the rebate 12 of the frame 1 is inclined outwardly relative to the vertical if we consider the frame 1 embedded in the floor while its inner wall 12b is horizontal so as to respectively receive the inclined outer face 6b 1 of the side wall 6b of the cover 2 and the end face 6b 2 of the wall 6b of the cover 2 in the locked position of the cover 2 to the frame 1, the oblique faces 12a 1 , 6b 1 and horizontal 12b 1 and 6b 2 of the frame 1 and the cover 2 being machined so that the metal to metal contact between them is obtained with an extremely low tolerance, for example about 0.2 mm.
  • the metal washer 9 comprises two diametrically opposed radial fins 9a that can cooperate with internal portions forming abutments of the housing 5 to prevent rotation of the metal washer 9 during tightening of the fixing screw 3.
  • each fin 9a of the metal washer 9 are constituted by at least faces internal parallel 13 of the housing 5, located on each side of the fin 9a close to the latter and preferably, the housing 5 has a cross section of a shape conjugate to that of the washer 9 provided with its two fins 9a.
  • the anti-rotation of the metal washer 9 can be provided by a single fin 9a extending radially to the longitudinal axis of the screw rod 10 passing through the washer and cooperating with two opposite inner faces 13 of the housing 5 .
  • the rod 10 of each fixing screw 3 passes through a bore 14 of an inner wall 15 of the frame 1 extending horizontally.
  • the bore 14 is disposed coaxially with the bore 11 of the lid 2 when the latter is locked to the frame 1.
  • the inner wall 15 of the frame 1 has a length determined in a direction parallel to the side wall 12a of the frame 1 and constitutes an extension of the wall horizontal device 12b and on which is supported the lid 2.
  • each fixing screw 3 opens into a cavity or housing 16 defined under the inner wall 15 and is screwed into a nut 17 trapped in the housing 16.
  • the nut 17 is supported under the wall 15.
  • the dimensions of the housing 16 defined in the frame 1 are such that the nut 17 is trapped with little play in this housing so as to allow the introduction in this nut of the blind part of the the threaded end 10a of the fixing screw 3.
  • the housing 16 opens into the frame 1 through a rectangular window 18 formed through the front wall 19 of the frame 1 delimiting the housing 16, so as to allow, before assembly, the introduction of the nut 17 into the housing 16.
  • each fastening screw 3 When tightening each fixing screw 3, the metal washer 9, by its fins bearing on the corresponding faces 13 of the housing 5, is locked in rotation, thereby preventing the work hardening of the sealing washer 8.
  • the locking of each fastening screw 3 by said nut 17 trapped in the chamber 16 reduces manufacturing costs compared to the production of a tapped hole in the frame 1 and if the tapping of the nut 17 was to deteriorate during repeated operations of disassembling the cover 2 of the frame 1 and mounting the cover 2 to the frame 1, then simply simply change the nut 17 by another .
  • each screw head 4 may comprise flats 4a being introduced into a conjugate portion of the cap.
