Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'articulation d'un tampon ou couvercle à un cadre notamment de regard de chaussée.The present invention relates to a device for hinging a buffer or cover to a frame including a manhole.

On connaît, par exemple tel que décrit dans US 3 455 059 ou FR 742 942 , un tel dispositif permettant au tampon d'adopter une position d'obturation ou de fermeture du cadre ou une position d'ouverture dans laquelle le tampon est dressé pour permettre à une personne intervenante d'accéder au regard.We know, for example, as described in US 3,455,059 or FR 742 942 such a device allowing the buffer to adopt a closed or closed position of the frame or an open position in which the buffer is erected to allow an intervening person access to the gaze.

Ce dispositif d'articulation comprend un organe mâle solidaire du tampon et monté à pivotement limité dans un logement aménagé dans le cadre. Des dispositifs de ce type sont connus et un example en est donné par le document US-A- 4840514 This articulation device comprises a male member integral with the buffer and mounted to pivot limited in a housing arranged in the frame. Devices of this type are known and an example is given by the document U.S.-A-4840514

Le tampon peut être verrouillé au cadre par un verrou situé à l'opposé de l'articulation.The pad can be locked to the frame by a latch located opposite the hinge.

Cependant, ce dispositif a pour inconvénient majeur qu'en position dressée d'ouverture du tampon, ce dernier peut être extrait du cadre par des personnes malveillantes.However, this device has the major disadvantage that in upright opening position of the buffer, the latter can be extracted from the frame by malicious people.

Pour résoudre ce problème, des moyens de verrouillage du genre serrure ont été associés à l'articulation pour relier à demeure le tampon au cadre.To solve this problem, locking means of the lock type have been associated with the joint to permanently connect the buffer to the frame.

Cependant, ces moyens sont d'une structure complexe et augmentent les coûts de fabrication du dispositif d'articulation.However, these means are of a complex structure and increase the manufacturing costs of the articulation device.

La présente invention a pour but d'éliminer les inconvénients ci-dessus en proposant un dispositif d'articulation d'un tampon ou couvercle à un cadre notamment de regard de chaussée selon la revendication 1 et notamment permettant au tampon d'adopter une position d'obturation du cadre ou une position d'ouverture dans laquelle il est dressé pour accéder à l'ouverture du cadre et comprenant un organe mâle solidaire du tampon et monté à rotation limitée dans un logement aménagé dans le cadre, l'organe mâle de l'articulation pouvant être au choix soit monté amoviblement dans son logement du cadre pour permettre au tampon d'être extrait du cadre à sa position dressée soit solidarisé dans son logement du cadre de manière que le tampon soit indémontable de son cadre.The present invention aims to eliminate the above disadvantages by providing a hinge device of a buffer or cover to a frame including a manhole according to claim 1 and in particular to allow the buffer to adopt a position d closing the frame or an open position in which it is erected to access the opening of the frame and comprising a male member secured to the pad and mounted limited rotation in a housing arranged in the frame, the male member of the articulation that can be chosen to be removably mounted in its frame housing to allow the buffer to be removed from the frame to its upright position is secured in its housing frame so that the buffer is indémontable its frame.

L'organe mâle d'articulation comprend un fût cylindrique encastré dans le logement du cadre conformé en chape permettant de supporter un axe d'articulation traversant le fût cylindrique et pouvant être fixé de manière inviolable à la chape pour rendre le tampon indémontable de son cadre.The male articulation member comprises a cylindrical barrel recessed in the housing of the frame shaped as a yoke for supporting a hinge pin passing through the cylindrical barrel and can be fixed inviolably to the yoke to make the buffer indémontable its frame .

L'axe d'articulation a un diamètre inférieur au diamètre du perçage du fût cylindrique à travers lequel passe cet axe qui a ses extrémités fixées, par exemple par soudage, respectivement aux deux parois parallèles de la chape.The axis of articulation has a diameter smaller than the diameter of the drilling of the cylindrical barrel through which passes this axis which has its ends fixed, for example by welding, respectively to the two parallel walls of the yoke.

Le fût cylindrique comprend des moyens de maintien du tampon à sa position dressée.The cylindrical barrel comprises means for holding the buffer in its upright position.

Les moyens de maintien comprennent avantageusement deux ergots solidaires des extrémités du fût cylindrique perpendiculairement à celui-ci et pouvant s'engager par gravité en position dressée du tampon respectivement.dans deux évidements du fond du logement du cadre.The holding means advantageously comprise two lugs integral with the ends of the cylindrical barrel perpendicular thereto and being engageable by gravity in the upright position of the pad respectively in two recesses in the bottom of the frame housing.

Lorsque le tampon et le cadre sont circulaires, le fût cylindrique est relié au tampon par un tenon radial de manière que le fût et le tenon aient une configuration en T.When the pad and the frame are circular, the cylindrical barrel is connected to the pad by a radial tenon so that the barrel and the post have a T configuration.

Le tampon occupe une position dressée d'ouverture d'environ 90° relativement au cadre.The pad occupies an upright open position of about 90 ° relative to the frame.

L'invention sera mieux comprise, et d'autre buts, caractéristiques, détails et avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront plus clairement dans la description explicative qui va suivre faite en référence aux dessins donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple illustrant un mode de réalisation de l'invention et dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un ensemble à tampon et cadre de regard de chaussée avec le tampon articulé au cadre conformément à l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective agrandie représentant l'articulation de l'invention permettant de relier le tampon au cadre ;
  • la figure 3 est une vue en perspective agrandie semblable à celle de la figure 2 et représentant uniquement le logement du cadre permettant de recevoir l'articulation de l'invention ;
  • la figure 4 est une vue en perspective agrandie semblable à celle de la figure 3 et montrant en outre un axe d'articulation traversant le logement du cadre ; et
  • la figure 5 est une vue en perspective agrandie d'une partie du tampon muni de l'organe mâle d'articulation.
The invention will be better understood, and other objects, features, details and advantages thereof will appear more clearly in the explanatory description which follows with reference to the drawings given solely by way of example illustrating an embodiment of the invention. the invention and in which:
  • the figure 1 is a perspective view of a buffer assembly and a manhole frame with the hinged frame buffer according to the invention;
  • the figure 2 is an enlarged perspective view showing the articulation of the invention for connecting the buffer to the frame;
  • the figure 3 is an enlarged perspective view similar to that of the figure 2 and representing only the frame housing for receiving the articulation of the invention;
  • the figure 4 is an enlarged perspective view similar to that of the figure 3 and further showing a hinge pin passing through the housing of the frame; and
  • the figure 5 is an enlarged perspective view of a portion of the pad provided with the male articulation member.

En se reportant aux figures, la référence 1 désigne un cadre présentant une forme généralement circulaire et sur lequel est articulé un tampon ou couvercle 2 également circulaire, étant bien entendu que le cadre 1 et le tampon 2 peuvent avoir des formes différentes, par exemple rectangulaires ou carrées.Referring to the figures, the reference 1 designates a frame having a generally circular shape and on which is articulated a buffer or lid 2 also circular, it being understood that the frame 1 and the pad 2 may have different shapes, for example rectangular or square.

Le cadre 1 est destiné à être scellé dans la chaussée de manière à constituer avec le tampon 2 un regard de chaussée.The frame 1 is intended to be sealed in the roadway so as to form with the buffer 2 a manhole.

L'articulation 3 permet au tampon 2 d'adopter une position d'obturation ou de fermeture du cadre 1 représentée en figure 1 ou une position d'ouverture, non représentée, dans laquelle le tampon 2 est dressé à une position angulaire déterminée relativement au cadre pour permettre à une personne intervenante d'accéder au regard de chaussée au travers de l'ouverture du cadre 1.The hinge 3 allows the pad 2 to adopt a closed or closed position of the frame 1 shown in FIG. figure 1 or an open position, not shown, in which the buffer 2 is erected at a predetermined angular position relative to the frame to allow an intervening person to access the manhole through the opening of the frame 1.

Comme cela est connu en soi, l'articulation 3 comprend un organe mâle 4 solidaire du tampon 2 et monté à pivotement ou rotation limitée dans un logement 5 aménagé dans le cadre 1.As is known per se, the hinge 3 comprises a male member 4 integral with the buffer 2 and mounted pivotally or rotationally limited in a housing 5 arranged in the frame 1.

La figure 1 montre également que le tampon 2 est pourvu d'un verrou 6, connu en soi, diamétralement opposé à l'articulation 3 et permettant de verrouiller le tampon 2 au cadre 1 à sa position de fermeture.The figure 1 also shows that the buffer 2 is provided with a lock 6, known per se, diametrically opposite the hinge 3 and for locking the buffer 2 to the frame 1 in its closed position.

Selon l'invention, l'organe mâle d'articulation 4 peut être au choix soit monté amoviblement dans son logement 5 du cadre 1 pour permettre au tampon 2, si on le désire, d'être extrait du cadre 1 à sa position dressée soit solidarisé dans son logement 5 de manière que le tampon 2 soit indémontable du cadre 1.According to the invention, the male articulation member 4 can be either removably mounted in its housing 5 of the frame 1 to allow the buffer 2, if desired, to be extracted from the frame 1 to its erect position is secured in its housing 5 so that the buffer 2 is indémontable frame 1.

Ainsi, l'articulation 3 de l'invention permet avec les mêmes éléments de fonderie d'être au choix rendue captive du cadre de manière que le tampon 2 soit indémontable ou amoviblement fixée dans son logement 5 du cadre 1 pour permettre au tampon 2 d'être extrait de ce cadre.Thus, the hinge 3 of the invention makes it possible, with the same foundry elements, to be made captive of the frame so that the pad 2 can be removed or removably fixed in its housing 5 of the frame 1 to allow the pad 2 d to be extracted from this framework.

A cet effet, l'organe mâle d'articulation 4 comprend un fût cylindrique 7 encastré dans le logement 5 du cadre 1, lequel logement est conformé en chape de support d'un axe d'articulation 8 traversant librement le perçage longitudinal 9 du fût 7 et étant fixé de manière inviolable à la chape du logement 5.For this purpose, the male articulation member 4 comprises a cylindrical shaft 7 embedded in the housing 5 of the frame 1, which housing is shaped as a support clevis of a hinge pin 8 freely traversing the longitudinal bore 9 of the shaft 7 and being fixed inviolably to the housing clevis 5.

Plus précisément, la chape du logement 5 est définie par les deux parois sensiblement parallèles 10 solidaires extérieurement du rebord périphérique circulaire la du cadre 1 dans lequel s'encastre le tampon 2. Chaque paroi 10 est ainsi située dans le prolongement d'une corde du cadre 1. L'axe d'articulation 8 traverse les deux parois 10 perpendiculairement à celles-ci et a ses extrémités solidaires respectivement de ces deux parois 10. Par exemple, chaque extrémité de l'axe d'articulation 8 est fixée par soudage à la face externe de la paroi 10 comme indiqué en 11 aux figures 2 et 4. L'organe mâle 4 de l'articulation 3 comprend également un tenon 12 solidaire radialement du tampon 2 et pouvant s'engager, en position de fermeture du tampon 2, dans une ouverture 13 qui est délimitée entre deux parois circonférentiellement espacées 14 en prolongement du rebord la du cadre 1 et délimitant avec les parois 10 et la paroi externe 15 de raccordement de ces dernières le logement 5 de l'organe mâle d'articulation 4. Ainsi, ce dernier présente une configuration générale en forme de T.More specifically, the clevis of the housing 5 is defined by the two substantially parallel walls 10 secured externally to the circular peripheral rim 1a of the frame 1 in which the buffer 2 is fitted. Each wall 10 is thus located in the extension of a rope of the 1. The hinge pin 8 passes through the two walls perpendicularly to them and has its integral ends respectively of these two walls 10. For example, each end of the hinge pin 8 is fixed by welding to the outer face of the wall 10 as indicated at 11 at figures 2 and 4 . The male member 4 of the joint 3 also comprises a pin 12 radially integral with the buffer 2 and can engage, in the closed position of the buffer 2, in an opening 13 which is delimited between two circumferentially spaced walls 14 in extension of the flange 1a of the frame 1 and delimiting with the walls 10 and the outer wall 15 connecting the latter the housing 5 of the male articulation member 4. Thus, the latter has a general configuration T-shaped.

Le diamètre du perçage 9 du fût 7 est supérieur au diamètre de l'axe d'articulation 8.The diameter of the bore 9 of the barrel 7 is greater than the diameter of the hinge pin 8.

Le fût cylindrique 7 comprend deux ergots 16 solidaires respectivement des deux extrémités du fût 7 perpendiculairement à sa direction longitudinale en faisant saillie d'un même côté et situés approximativement dans le même plan médian longitudinal du tenon 12 et du fût 7. Les deux ergots 16 permettent de maintenir le tampon 2 à sa position dressée d'ouverture en venant s'encastrer respectivement dans deux évidements 17 du fond du logement 5. De préférence, le tampon 2 est maintenu à sa position dressée d'environ 90° relativement au plan passant par le bord supérieur du rebord la du cadre 1.The cylindrical barrel 7 comprises two lugs 16 secured respectively to the two ends of the barrel 7 perpendicular to its longitudinal direction, projecting from the same side and located approximately in the same longitudinal median plane of the stud 12 and the barrel 7. The two lugs 16 allow the buffer 2 to be held in its upright open position by fitting into two recesses 17 of the bottom of the housing 5 respectively. Preferably, the buffer 2 is held at its upright position of approximately 90 ° relative to the passing plane. by the upper edge of the flange 1a of the frame 1.

L'encastrement par gravité des deux ergots 16 dans leurs évidements respectifs 17 lorsque le tampon 2 a son organe mâle 4 articulé de manière indémontable dans son logement 5 par l'axe d'articulation 8 est autorisé par le fait que le diamètre du perçage 9 du fût cylindrique 7 est supérieur au diamètre de l'axe d'articulation 8.The gravity embedding of the two lugs 16 in their respective recesses 17 when the buffer 2 has its male member 4 releasably articulated in its housing 5 by the hinge pin 8 is authorized by the fact that the diameter of the bore 9 cylindrical drum 7 is greater than the diameter of the hinge pin 8.

Bien entendu, lorsque l'on souhaite rendre l'articulation 3 amovible relativement au cadre 1 pour permettre l'extraction du tampon 2 de ce cadre, l'axe d'articulation 8 n'est pas du tout présent et les deux ergots 16 peuvent également s'encastrer par gravité dans leurs évidements respectifs en position dressée du tampon 2 pour l'empêcher de basculer dans son cadre.Of course, when it is desired to make the hinge 3 removable relative to the frame 1 to allow the extraction of the buffer 2 from this frame, the hinge pin 8 is not present at all and the two lugs 16 can also embed by gravity in their respective recesses in upright position of the buffer 2 to prevent it from tilting in its frame.
