Description

« Dispositif de voirie réhaussable ». "Highways system".
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de voirie réhaussable pouvant être utilisé, par exemple, pour la fermeture d'un regard de chaussée.The present invention relates to a retractable road device that can be used, for example, for closing a manhole.
La figure 1 représente un dispositif de voirie réhaussable connu portant la référence 1 et comprenant un cadre guideur 2 venant se monter sur la cheminée en béton 3 d'un regard de chaussée à obturer et un cadre guidé 4 à élément de recouvrement, non représenté, tel qu'un tampon, le cadre guidé 4 étant destiné à coopérer avec le cadre guideur 2 lors du montage du cadre 4 à élément de recouvrement sur le regard. Le dispositif de voirie 1 est réhaussable en ce que, à l'état assemblé, le cadre 4 à élément de recouvrement, qui doit affleurer sensiblement la surface de la chaussée, s'insère plus ou moins profondément dans le cadre guideur 2 en fonction de la hauteur de la réservation ou feuillure 5 dans laquelle cet ensemble est logé et retenu après avoir rempli la réservation 5 d'un enrobé.FIG. 1 represents a known retractable road system bearing the reference 1 and comprising a guide frame 2 coming to be mounted on the concrete chimney 3 of a manhole to be closed and a guided frame 4 with a covering element, not shown, such as a buffer, the guided frame 4 being intended to cooperate with the guide frame 2 during assembly of the frame 4 to cover element on the look. The road device 1 is retractable in that, in the assembled state, the frame 4 with covering element, which must be substantially flush with the surface of the roadway, fits more or less deeply into the guide frame 2 as a function of the height of the reservation or rabbet 5 in which this set is housed and retained after filling the reservation 5 of a mix.
Pour assurer ce réhaussement, les cadres 2, 4, qui ont chacun une forme générale annulaire, sont chacun dotés d'un prolongement cylindrique respectivement 6, 7 venant de matière, le prolongement 7 du cadre 4 s' étendant, à l'état assemblé, dans le prolongement 6 du cadre guideur 2.To ensure this raising, the frames 2, 4, which each have a generally annular shape, are each provided with a cylindrical extension respectively 6, 7 from material, the extension 7 of the frame 4 extending, in the assembled state , in the extension 6 of the guide frame 2.
Ce dispositif de voirie connu a pour inconvénient de nécessiter une profondeur de réservation 5 relativement importante, habituellement d'environ 310 mm, de telle sorte qu'il ne peut être utilisé dans des réservations de moindre profondeur de cheminée, telles que de 130 mm habituellement utilisées pour recevoir un cadre unique à élément de recouvrement.This known road system has the disadvantage of requiring a relatively large depth of reservation, usually of about 310 mm, so that it can not be used in shallower chimney reservations, such as 130 mm. used to receive a single frame with a covering element.
En outre, ce dispositif de voirie réhaussable connu dont les cadres guidé et guideur sont réalisés en fonte est non seulement relativement coûteux, mais est également relativement encombrant, posant alors des problèmes de stockage.In addition, this known high-rise system of which the guided and guided frames are made of cast iron is not only relatively expensive, but is also relatively bulky, posing storage problems.
La présente invention a pour but de remédier aux inconvénients ci-dessus du dispositif de voirie connu en proposant un dispositif de voirie réhaussable qui puisse s'adapter à différentes hauteurs de réservations de cheminées dans lesquelles il doit être intégré.The object of the present invention is to overcome the above disadvantages of the known road system by proposing an upgradeable road device that can be adapted to different heights of chimney reservations in which it must be integrated.
A cet effet, selon l'invention, le dispositif de voirie réhaussable, du type comprenant un cadre d'un élément de recouvrement, tel qu'un tampon, pouvant être logé dans une réservation d'une cheminée d'un regard de chaussée à obturer, et un moyen pouvant coopérer avec le cadre pour positionner ce dernier relativement à la cheminée de manière qu'à l'état assemblé, le cadre affleure sensiblement la surface de la chaussée, est caractérisé en ce que le moyen de positionnement du cadre comprend une jupe rapportée au cadre, prolongeant vers le bas celui-ci et dont la section de la surface périphérique externe correspond à la section libre de l'ouverture de la cheminée pour permettre à la jupe de se loger dans l'ouverture de la cheminée à une position relative à cette dernière.For this purpose, according to the invention, the retractable road device, of the type comprising a frame of a covering element, such as a buffer, which can be housed in a reservation of a chimney of a look of roadway to closing, and a means that can cooperate with the frame to position the latter relative to the chimney so that in the assembled state, the frame is substantially flush with the surface of the roadway, is characterized in that the positioning means of the frame comprises a skirt attached to the frame, extending downwardly thereof and whose section of the outer peripheral surface corresponds to the free section of the opening of the chimney to allow the skirt to be housed in the opening of the chimney to a position relative to the latter.
A titre d'exemple, la jupe est amoviblement fixée par encliquetage dans une couronne du cadre. La jupe comprend au moins deux ergots radialement externes pouvant s' encliqueter élastiquement respectivement dans deux cavités de retenue formées dans la couronne du cadre.By way of example, the skirt is removably fixed by snapping into a crown of the frame. The skirt comprises at least two radially outer pins that can snap elastically respectively into two retaining cavities formed in the ring of the frame.
Avantageusement, chaque ergot est constitué par une extrémité libre recourbée d'une patte élastiquement déformable découpée dans la paroi de la jupe suivant une génératrice de cette jupe.Advantageously, each lug is constituted by a curved free end of an elastically deformable tab cut in the wall of the skirt along a generatrix of this skirt.
Chaque ergot est situé à proximité du bord circulaire de la partie d'extrémité de la jupe s' engageant dans la couronne du cadre. En position encastrée de la jupe dans la couronne du cadre, le bord circulaire de la jupe est en appui sur la face inférieure d'une collerette interne du cadre.Each lug is located near the circular edge of the end portion of the skirt engaging in the crown of the frame. In the recessed position of the skirt in the crown of the frame, the circular edge of the skirt rests on the underside of an internal collar of the frame.
La couronne comprend à son ouverture d'entrée une surface périphérique tronconique s' évasant vers le bas et permettant d'écarter élastiquement radialement à l'intérieur de la jupe les ergots lors de l'introduction de sa partie d'extrémité dans la couronne avant qu'ils puissent s'ancrer élastiquement dans les deux cavités de retenue de la couronne.The crown comprises, at its inlet opening, a frustoconical peripheral surface flaring downwards and allowing the pins to be elastically offset radially inside the skirt during the introduction of its end portion into the front crown. that they can be anchored elastically in the two retaining cavities of the crown.
Chaque ergot vient élastiquement en appui sur un épaulement de retenue de la cavité en position encastrée de la jupe dans la couronne.Each lug comes resiliently supported on a shoulder retaining the cavity in the recessed position of the skirt in the crown.
A titre d'exemple, la jupe est en tôle d'acier et de forme généralement cylindrique et a une hauteur prédéterminée permettant un réglage de position du cadre relativement à la cheminée suivant la hauteur de la réservation .For example, the skirt is made of sheet steel and of generally cylindrical shape and has a predetermined height allowing a position adjustment of the frame relative to the chimney according to the height of the reservation.
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 schématiques annexés donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple illustrant un mode de réalisation de l'invention et dans lesquels :The invention will be better understood, and other objects, features, details and advantages thereof will appear more clearly in the following explanatory description made with reference to the accompanying schematic drawings given solely by way of example illustrating a method of embodiment of the invention and in which:
- La figure 1 représente en coupe longitudinale un dispositif de voirie réhaussable conforme à l'art antérieur ; la figure 2 est une vue en coupe longitudinale représentant un dispositif de voirie réhaussable conforme à l'invention ;- Figure 1 shows a longitudinal section of a retractable roadway device according to the prior art; Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view showing a retractable road device according to the invention;
- la figure 3 est une vue partielle agrandie de côté suivant la flèche III de la figure 2 ; et- Figure 3 is an enlarged partial side view along the arrow III of Figure 2; and
- la figure 4 est une vue en perspective agrandie d'une jupe faisant partie du dispositif de voirie réhaussable de l'invention. En se reportant aux figures 2 à 4, le dispositif de voirie réhaussable 10 conforme à l'invention comprend un cadre 11 destiné à recevoir un élément de recouvrement, non représenté, tel qu'un tampon ou couvercle, et destiné, par exemple, à venir se monter sur la cheminée en béton 12 d'un regard de chaussée à obturer. A l'état assemblé du cadre 11 dans la réserve ou feuillure 13 de la cheminée 12, le cadre 11 et son élément de recouvrement affleurent sensiblement la surface de la chaussée.- Figure 4 is an enlarged perspective view of a skirt forming part of the raising road device of the invention. Referring to Figures 2 to 4, the retractable road device 10 according to the invention comprises a frame 11 for receiving a covering element, not shown, such as a buffer or cover, and intended, for example, to come up on the concrete chimney 12 with a view of the road to be closed. In the assembled state of the frame 11 in the reserve or rabbet 13 of the chimney 12, the frame 11 and its covering element are substantially flush with the surface of the roadway.
Le cadre 11 présente une hauteur relativement faible, par exemple d'environ 100 mm et peut être logé dans une réservation 13 d'une profondeur allant d'environ 120 mm à 230 mm comme on le verra ultérieurement. Le cadre 11 est monté sur une jupe sensiblement cylindrique 14 rapportée amoviblement au cadre par encliquetage dans une couronne 15 de manière que la jupe 14 prolonge vers le bas le cadre 11 coaxialement à celui- ci . A cet effet, la jupe 14 comprend dans le cas présent quatre ergots radialement externes 16 pouvant s' encliqueter élastiquement respectivement dans quatre cavités de retenue 17 formées intérieurement dans la couronne 15 du cadre 11. Chaque ergot 16 peut être constitué par une extrémité libre recourbée d'une patte 18 découpée dans la paroi de la jupe suivant une génératrice de celle-ci, l'ergot 16 étant situé à proximité du bord circulaire de la partie d'extrémité de la jupe 14 s' engageant dans la couronne 15 du cadre 11. Chaque patte 18 est élastiquement déformable en direction radiale à la jupe 14.The frame 11 has a relatively low height, for example about 100 mm and can be housed in a reservation 13 with a depth of about 120 mm to 230 mm as will be seen later. The frame 11 is mounted on a substantially cylindrical skirt 14 removably attached to the frame by snapping into a ring 15 so that the skirt 14 extends downwardly the frame 11 coaxially with it. For this purpose, the skirt 14 comprises in the present case four radially outer pins 16 which can snap elastically respectively into four retaining cavities 17 formed internally in the ring 15 of the frame 11. Each lug 16 may be constituted by a curved free end a lug 18 cut in the wall of the skirt along a generatrix thereof, the lug 16 being located near the circular edge of the end portion of the skirt 14 engaging in the crown 15 of the frame 11. Each tab 18 is elastically deformable radially to the skirt 14.
La couronne 15 du cadre 11 comprend à son ouverture d'entrée dirigée vers le bas du cadre une surface périphérique tronconique 15a s' évasant vers le bas du cadre et permettant d'écarter élastiquement radialement à l'intérieur de la jupe 14 les ergots 16 lors de l'introduction de la partie d'extrémité correspondante de la jupe 14 dans la couronne 15 avant que ces ergots 16 puissent s'ancrer élastiquement dans les cavités de retenue respectives 17 de la couronne 15. En position encastrée de la jupe 14 dans la couronne 15, l'extrémité recourbée de chaque ergot 16 est élastiquement en appui sur un épaulement ou rebord de retenue 17a délimitant la partie inférieure de la cavité 17. En outre, le bord circulaire de la jupe 14 situé à proximité des ergots 16 est en appui sur la face inférieure 19a d'une collerette interne 19 du cadre 11, cette face étant opposée au rebord 17a pour délimiter circonférentiellement avec cette dernière la cavité 17.The ring 15 of the frame 11 comprises at its entrance opening directed towards the bottom of the frame a frustoconical peripheral surface 15a flaring downwardly from the frame and allowing elastically radially to be withdrawn inside the skirt 14 the lugs 16. during the introduction of the corresponding end portion of the skirt 14 in the ring 15 before these lugs 16 can be anchored elastically in the respective holding cavities 17 of the ring 15. In the embedded position of the skirt 14 in the crown 15, the curved end of each lug 16 is elastically resting on a shoulder or retaining lip 17a delimiting the lower part of the cavity 17. In addition, the circular edge of the skirt 14 located near the lugs 16 is in abutment on the lower face 19a of an inner collar 19 of the frame 11, this face being opposite the flange 17a to delimit circumferentially with the latter the cavity 17.
La jupe 14 a sa surface périphérique externe ayant une section correspondant à la section libre de l'ouverture de la cheminée pour permettre à la jupe 14 de se loger dans cette ouverture à une position relative à la cheminée.The skirt 14 has its outer peripheral surface having a section corresponding to the free section of the opening of the chimney to allow the skirt 14 to be housed in this opening at a position relative to the chimney.
A titre d'exemple, le diamètre d de l'ouverture de la cheminée 12 peut être d'environ 615 mm et le diamètre extérieur de la jupe 14 peut être alors d'environ 608 mm.For example, the diameter d of the opening of the chimney 12 may be about 615 mm and the outer diameter of the skirt 14 may then be about 608 mm.
En tout cas, la jupe 14 présente une hauteur prédéterminée telle qu'une fois introduite dans l'ouverture de la chemise 12, elle permet un réglage de position en hauteur du cadre 11 relativement à la cheminée en fonction de la hauteur de la réservation 13. A titre d'exemple, pour des réservations d'une hauteur allant de 120 mm à 230 mm, une jupe 14 d'une hauteur d'environ 140 mm permet un réglage en position du cadre 11 dans la réservation 13 pour des hauteurs de réservation 13 dans la gamme qui vient d'être définie. Avantageusement, la jupe 14 est réalisée à partir d'une tôle d'acier.In any case, the skirt 14 has a predetermined height such that once introduced into the opening of the sleeve 12, it allows a height adjustment of the frame 11 relative to the chimney according to the height of the reservation 13 By way of example, for reservations of a height ranging from 120 mm to 230 mm, a skirt 14 with a height of approximately 140 mm allows adjustment in position of the frame 11 in the reservation 13 for heights of reservation 13 in the range that has just been defined. Advantageously, the skirt 14 is made from a steel sheet.
Le montage de la jupe 14 au cadre 11 est très simple puisqu'il suffit de retourner le cadre 11 en appui sur le sol de manière qu'il présente sa couronne 15 dirigée vers le haut et, après positionnement angulaire de la jupe 14 relativement à la couronne 15, d'enfoncer la jupe 14 dans la couronne 15 de manière que les extrémités libres des ergots 16 soient écartées élastiquement radialement vers l'intérieur de la jupe 14 par la surface tronconique 15a jusqu'à ce que les ergots 16 s'engagent élastiquement respectivement dans les cavités de retenue 17. Ensuite, l'utilisateur retourne l'ensemble cadre 11 et jupe 14 pour introduire cette dernière dans l'ouverture de la cheminée de visite 12 pour la régler à sa position relative telle que le cadre et son élément de couronnement soit logés dans la réservation 13 sensiblement en affleurement avec la surface de la chaussée. A cet effet, le cadre 11 pourvu de la jupe 14 est temporairement attaché de façon suspendue sous deux barres parallèles 20 (représentées en traits mixtes en figure 2) reposant au sol pour maintenir de façon centrée l'ensemble à cadre 11, élément de couronnement et jupe 14 dans la réservation 13 et à un niveau tel que le cadre 11 et son élément de couronnement soient sensiblement en affleurement avec la surface de la chaussée, cette technique de suspension étant connue en soi. Bien entendu, le cadre 11 et son élément de couronnement est ensuite maintenu dans la réservation 13 par un enrobé introduit dans la réservation et compacté selon la technique habituelle après avoir retiré les deux barres de suspension. Il est à noter que la jupe 14 empêche l'enrobé de tomber dans l'ouverture de la cheminée de visite 12.The mounting of the skirt 14 to the frame 11 is very simple since it suffices to turn the frame 11 on the ground so that it has its crown 15 directed upwards and, after angular positioning of the skirt 14 relative to the ring 15, to push the skirt 14 into the ring 15 so that the free ends of the lugs 16 are spaced elastically radially inwardly of the skirt 14 by the frustoconical surface 15a until that the lugs 16 engage elastically respectively in the holding cavities 17. Then, the user returns the frame assembly 11 and skirt 14 to introduce the latter into the opening of the inspection chimney 12 to adjust it to its position relative such that the frame and its cap member is housed in the reservation 13 substantially flush with the surface of the roadway. For this purpose, the frame 11 provided with the skirt 14 is temporarily suspended in two parallel bars 20 (shown in phantom in FIG. 2) resting on the ground in order to maintain centrally the frame assembly 11, a crowning element. and skirt 14 in the reservation 13 and at a level such that the frame 11 and its crown element are substantially flush with the surface of the roadway, this suspension technique being known per se. Of course, the frame 11 and its cap element is then held in the reservation 13 by a mix introduced into the reservation and compacted according to the usual technique after removing the two suspension bars. It should be noted that the skirt 14 prevents the mix from falling into the opening of the chimney 12.
La jupe 14 peut comporter un nombre d'ergots 16 différent de quatre, au moins deux ergots 16 diamétralement opposés pouvant suffire pour retenir la jupe 14 dans la couronne 15 du cadre 11. En outre, la figure 4 montre que les quatre ergots 16 sont disposés symétriquement par rapport à un plan médian longitudinal 14 de la jupe avec deux des ergots 16 plus proches de ce plan que les deux autres. Bien entendu, les quatre ergots 16 peuvent tout simplement être régulièrement espacés autour de la jupe 14. Bien qu'en principe la jupe 14 reste fixée à demeure au cadre 11, elle peut être retirée de ce cadre en désengageant les ergots 16 de leurs cavités de retenue respectives 17 pour, par exemple, la remplacer par une autre jupe en meilleur état.The skirt 14 may comprise a number of lugs 16 different from four, at least two lugs 16 diametrically opposed being sufficient to retain the skirt 14 in the ring 15 of the frame 11. In addition, Figure 4 shows that the four lugs 16 are arranged symmetrically with respect to a longitudinal median plane 14 of the skirt with two lugs 16 closer to this plane than the other two. Of course, the four lugs 16 can simply be regularly spaced around the skirt 14. Although in principle the skirt 14 remains fixed to the frame 11, it can be removed from this frame by disengaging the pins 16 from their respective holding cavities 17 to, for example, replace it with a other skirt in better condition.
Le dispositif de l'invention peut être utilisé pour remplacer un dispositif de voirie différent monté dans une réservation d'une cheminée préexistante sans avoir à casser le béton de cette cheminée pour adapter la réservation au dispositif de l'invention puisqu'il s'adapte de lui-même à toute réservation quelle que soit sa hauteur. En outre, la jupe peut avoir une section autre que circulaire, par exemple rectangulaire, ou présenter une forme tronconique. The device of the invention can be used to replace a different road device mounted in a reservation of a pre-existing chimney without having to break the concrete of this chimney to adapt the reservation to the device of the invention since it adapts of itself to any reservation whatever its height. In addition, the skirt may have a section other than circular, for example rectangular, or have a frustoconical shape.
