Definitions

  • sectional modular gutters made from plastics material and designed to support a grid for pedestrian and if necessary vehicular traffic, has been known for some time as a method of collecting and channelling run-off water, for example in sports installations, at the entrances of garages, in underground and semi-underground premises, at the sides of roads and elsewhere.
  • Document EP 0 542 701 B1 provides an exemplary description of such a gutter, provided at one end with a male joint and at the other end with a female joint of the guillotine type, in such a way that a plurality of gutter modules can be positioned one after the other and interconnected to form a drainage channel of the desired length, with a strong and watertight connection in which the male joint of one module is inserted into the female joint of the next module.
  • the said connected and intermediate ribs are spaced apart by a sufficient distance to act as a saw guide when the gutter is cut to the desired length.
  • the upper edges of the gutter are widened outwards with an L-shaped profile, so as to form a seat for containing a grid for pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
  • Document EP 0 789 111 A1 discloses a sectional modular gutter for forming drainage channels with a grid for pedestrian and/or vehicular traffic, provided at one end with a male joint and at the other end with a female joint, of the guillotine type, in such a way that a plurality of gutter modules can be joined together and aligned in succession to form a channel of desired length, the gutter being provided on the outer lateral surface of its body with pairs of transverse ribs repeated at equal distances which are submultiples of the total length of the module and of which at least the rib facing the female end joint of a module reproduces a male joint, in such a way that, when the module is cut transversely, in the small space between the said pairs of ribs, the module portion terminates at its end produced by the cut in a male joint, and a plurality of modules, either complete or shortened can be connected in succession, to form a drainage channel having the length required on any occasion.
  • Document US 3 156 099 A teaches to
  • these gutters are mostly made from PVC, so that they can be welded to each other in a watertight way in the areas of connection of the male and female joints, with a structural sealant.
  • the gutters in question have also been made from polypropylene, making it impossible to weld the connecting areas in a structural way.
  • the object of the present invention is to make the areas of connection of the gutter modules watertight regardless of the material from which they are made, by using sealants including non-structural sealants such as those of the silicone type, or even without using sealants, and even if the end of the gutter with the male joint is imperfectly formed or partially damaged as a result of the transverse cutting operation.
  • the gutter in question is made by the injection moulding of plastics material, has for example a length of one metre, although it is to be understood that it can be produced with other dimensions, and has a body 1 of substantially semitubular section with longitudinal edges 101 having L-shaped retaining profiles of various heights, which form a widened area on the body 1 for containing the grid for pedestrian or vehicular traffic 2 ( Fig. 6 ) which can be fixed, for example, with self-tapping screws 3 into the longitudinal slots 104 of thickened parts 4 provided externally on the bases of the said edges 101 (see below).
  • Figures 1 , 2 , 3 and 5 show how the gutter C has transverse fins 201, made in one piece with the outer surface of the body 1 of the gutter, these fins having their ends in contact with the bases of the said edges 101 without projecting from these, and having, when viewed frontally as in Figure 6 , a half-round shape which, except for the larger dimensions, substantially reproduces the internal shape of the body 1 (see Fig. 6 ).
  • One of the said fins 201 is located at a position set back by a precise amount from one end of the gutter, as shown in Figures 1 , 2 , 3 and 5 , and the portion of the body 1 located in front of this fin has a pair of transverse projecting ribs 5, made in one piece with the body, which terminate at the bases of the edges 101 and which form the male connector of the gutter.
  • One of these ribs is substantially flush with, or set slightly back from, the end of the gutter, while the other, inner, rib is separated from the first rib by a distance D1 substantially equal to the thickness of one of the ribs in question.
  • the distance D2 between this set-back rib 5 and the neighbouring fin 201 is equal to or slightly greater than the said distance D1.
  • the fin 201 On the other end of the gutter C, as shown in Figures 2 , 3 , 4 and 5 , the fin 201 has its outer face coplanar with the front of the edges 101, and an end piece 6 is formed in one piece with, and projecting from, the outer face of this fin 201, the end piece having a frontally curved shape which reproduces, with larger dimensions, the internal shape of the gutter body 1, and being provided internally with a pair of grooves 7 which form the female connector of the gutter, the inner groove having, for example, a width slightly greater than that of the other groove, whose width is slightly greater than that of the said ribs 5 of the male connector.
  • the distance between the grooves 7 is such that, when the end with the ribs 5 of one gutter is inserted into the grooves 7 of an adjacent gutter, as shown in detail in Figure 5 , the two gutters are interconnected in a substantially seamless way and the inner surfaces of their bodies 1 are coplanar with each other.
  • the joint formed by the pair of ribs 5 which are inserted in the form of shutters into the corresponding pair of grooves 7 is of the labyrinth type and has a sinuous structure with a plurality of successive undulations which imparts exceptional qualities of rigidity and watertightness to the joint, even without the presence of silicone or other joint sealants compatible with the material from which the gutters are made. Because of the greater width of the inner groove 7 of the female connector, the joint can be made easily and correctly even if the end of the gutter or of the gutter portion (see below) with the male connector has small projections or irregularities.
  • the aforesaid ribs 5 of the male connectors have a rounded profile, for example, while the grooves 7 have a trapezoidal profile, but it is to be understood that any type of profile can be used for the aforesaid purposes of connection.
  • the gutter according to the invention has the property of double modularity, in the sense that it not only forms a module for constructing a channel by joining with other identical modules, but also has a modular structure itself, as a result of which it can be cut transversely at predetermined distances, so as to produce a piece which is entirely identical to the original module, except for its shorter length.
  • the intrinsic modularity of the gutter module C increases the range of lengths from which a drainage channel can be constructed, since the multiples of the length of the structural module of the gutter itself can be added to the multiples of the length of one gutter.
  • the body 1 of the gutter has groups G of four transverse ribs 5, located externally with a repeated and identical interval which is a submultiple of the total length of the gutter module, for example an interval of ten centimetres, the ribs in each group being separated by the distance D1 already described with reference to Figures 2 and 3 , in such a way that, by cutting one of these groups of ribs in half transversely, using the ribs as a guide for the cutting saw, it is possible to shorten a gutter module while still making it terminate in a male connector opposite to the end with the female connector.
  • the other gutter portion created by the said cutting operation is provided with male connectors at both ends, and can be used for other purposes.
