Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of cover plates for covering a hole in a road.
  • cover plate When a hole is dug in a road in order to do some ground work, lay down a pipe, etc., a cover plate is placed to cover the hole, in order to allow vehicles to pass.
  • Conventional cover plates are simply made of a solid steel plate having a typical thickness of 30-50 mm and a size of several square meters. Such conventional cover plates are heavy and require a large amount of material to manufacture, and causes a high energy consumption for transporting them.
  • DE 10215110 discloses a soft ground plate, wherein several soft ground plates are interconnected to form a road surface on top of soft ground. However, one embodiment is shown where the soft ground plate is used as a cover plate for covering a hole of a road. More particularly, DE 10215110 discloses a cover plate with several elongated open profiles each having a flat top portion and sloping side walls, which profiles are placed side by side, and are interconnected by means of opposite side angle steels connected to the respective ends of the profiles. The profiles extend transversally, with regard to a driving direction of a passing vehicle, i.e.
  • the angle steels are arranged along the sides of the cover plate.
  • cover plates are consecutively placed and are interconnected, by connecting their angle steels with each other, to form a road surface on soft ground.
  • the cover plates are used to cover a hole in the ground, and then a bottom portion is welded to each profile to cover the opening of the profile, and top stripes are welded between the top portions of the profiles, all in order to increase the bending strength and torsion strength to allow the cover plate to be used for covering a hole.
  • This use of profiles decreases the weight of the cover plate relative to the solid steel plate for carrying a corresponding load of a passing vehicle.
  • this prior art cover plate is cumbersome to manufacture.
  • a cover plate for covering a hole of a road, the cover plate comprising several elongated metal profiles arranged side by side, each metal profile having opposite side walls, the adjacent side walls of adjacent metal profiles abutting on each other.
  • the metal profiles have been attached to each other along the long sides thereof, the metal profiles thereby forming a plate shaped entity having a bottom surface and a top surface.
  • the cover plate further comprises elongated wedge shaped end pieces attached at opposite ends of the plate shaped entity, extending perpendicularly to the metal profiles, covering the ends of the metal profiles, and each having a sloping top surface.
  • the cover plate is thereby arranged to be placed with the metal profiles extending along a driving direction of the road.
  • the cover plate is more comfortably manufacturable than the prior art cover plate.
  • the metal profiles longitudinally instead of transversally the bending resistance of the cover plate can be accurately pre-calculated.
  • the assembly of the cover plate from separate metal profiles less time consuming than if they were mounted transversally of the driving direction.
  • the end pieces provide ramps facilitating driving onto the cover plate with a vehicle, in particular on hard ground surfaces, such as asphalt.
  • the metal profiles are arc shaped in their longitudinal direction.
  • the cover plate is vault shaped and has a further increased strength.
  • the metal profiles are only bent to a minor extent.
  • the metal profiles have been attached to each other by welded portions, where the welded portions are lengthwise intermittently situated alternately at upper edges and lower edges of the metal profiles.
  • This embodiment has an advantageous attachment between the profiles, which attachment is simple and strong.
  • the metal profiles have rectangular cross sections.
  • the rectangular cross-section facilitates the manufacture of the cover plate, where the profiles can simply be placed side by side and attached to each other.
  • each ramp comprises a U-shaped portion extending along the edge of the plate shaped entity embracing an end portion thereof, and a wedge portion protruding from the U-shaped portion and having an upper surface sloping downwards away from the U-shaped portion.
  • the U-shaped portion provides a lid covering the open ends of the profiles, thereby preventing them from being filled with dirt.
  • each ramp comprises at least one road anchoring portion comprising an aperture providing vertical passage for a road anchoring element.
  • the cover plate it comprises two strip shaped elements extending laterally of the plate shaped entity at a bottom side thereof and being attached to the plate shaped entity at a distance from each other.
  • the strip shaped elements mark a boarder of a minimum portion of the cover plate, at each respective end thereof, which has to rest on the ground.
  • the cover plate 1 comprises several elongated metal profiles 2, which are arranged side by side and form a plate shaped entity 3, and elongated wedge shaped end pieces 4 attached at opposite ends 5, 6 of the plate shaped entity 3.
  • Each metal profile 2 has opposite side walls 7, 8; 7', 8'; 7", 8".
  • the metal profiles 2 are placed such that the adjacent side walls 8, 7'; 8', 7", of adjacent metal profiles abut on each other, wherein the metal profiles 2 have been attached to each other along the side walls 7, 8; 7', 8'; 7", 8" thereof.
  • the plate shaped entity 3 has a bottom surface 9 and a top surface 10. It should be noted that the surfaces 9, 10 are not necessarily fully smooth and solid.
  • the metal profiles have slightly rounded edges, and may have minor slits between them due to small irregularities of the side walls, but can still be considered to form a common top surface and a common bottom surface.
  • the cross-section of each metal profile is rectangular, and more particular it is square, but many other shapes are feasible as well, which will be further exemplified below.
  • the metal profiles 2 are typically made of steel, but other metals or alloys are feasible as well, such as aluminum.
  • the wedge shaped end pieces 4 extend perpendicularly to the metal profiles 2, and cover the ends 11 of the metal profiles 2.
  • Each end piece 4 has a sloping top surface 13, which slopes downwardly from the top surface 10 to the ground in a direction away from the metal profile ends 11.
  • the cover plate 1 is arranged to be placed with the metal profiles 2 extending along a driving direction of the road, and thereby the end pieces 4 constitute ramps facilitating the entering of the cover plate 1 with a vehicle. In addition to eliminating a sharp edge which can be inconvenient for at least some vehicles, the risk of a vehicle moving the cover plate 1 by pushing it with the wheels is reduced.
  • US 2004141809 discloses a kind of road plate, called road mat, comprising metal profiles having a rectangular cross-section.
  • the road mat is exclusively arranged to be used for building a road surface on soft ground.
  • the road mat does not fulfill strength requirements for a use as a cover plate for covering a hole of a road.
  • the profiles are only interconnected with perpendicular stripes on the top surface of the road mat, and the profiles are arranged transversally of the driving direction.
  • cover plate which can be compared with the cover plate according to this invention.
  • each end piece 4 comprises an angle steel 14 having a first wall section 15, which covers the very ends 11 of the profiles 2, and a second perpendicular wall section 16, which covers an end surface portion of the top surface 10 of the plate shaped entity 3.
  • the angle steel 14 is attached to the plate shaped entity 3, e.g. by welding.
  • each end piece 4 comprises a V-shaped part 17, which has a longer leg portion 18 and a shorter leg portion 19.
  • the longer leg portion 18 constitutes a bottom of the V-shaped part 17, covers an end surface portion of the bottom surface 9, and protrudes from the plate shaped entity 3.
  • the longer leg portion 18 is attached to the plate shaped entity 3.
  • the shorter leg portion 19 provides the sloping top surface 13 of the end piece 4, and is attached to the angle steel 14.
  • the angle steel 14 and the part of the longer leg portion that covers the end surface portion of the bottom surface 9 forms a U-shaped portion 20, which extends along the edge of the plate shaped entity 3, embracing an end portion 21 thereof.
  • the rest of the V-shaped part 17 constitutes a wedge portion 22 protruding from the U-shaped portion 20 and having an upper surface, i.e. the top surface 13, sloping downwards away from the U-shaped portion 20.
  • Each end piece, or ramp, 4 comprises two road anchoring portions 23 arranged at the respective ends of the ramp 4.
  • Each road anchoring portion 23 comprises an aperture 24 providing vertical passage through the ramp 4 for a road anchoring element, such as a ground screw.
  • the metal profiles 2 have been attached to each other by welded portions 29, 31 see Figs. 3 , 5a and 5b , where the welded portions 29, 31 are lengthwise intermittently situated alternately at upper edges and lower edges of the metal profiles 2, as shown most schematically in Fig. 5a , or arranged in parallel on the top and bottom surfaces 10, 9, as shown in Fig. 5b .
  • Other kinds of welding patterns are feasible as well.
  • all-welding is feasible as well, and so are other kinds of attachment methods, though spot welding is a fast and strong enough alternative.
  • the plate shaped entity 3 comprises four lifting portions 25 arranged in a square and comprising keyholes 26, arranged in pairs in the top surfaces of two spaced profiles 2.
  • the cover plate 1 comprises two strip shaped elements 27 extending laterally of the plate shaped entity 3, i.e. perpendicular to the profiles 2, at the bottom side 10 thereof and being attached to the plate shaped entity 3 at a distance from each other.
  • Each strip shaped element 27 marks a boarder of a minimum portion of the cover plate 1, at each respective end thereof, which has to rest on the ground. More particularly, the strip shaped elements 27 are typically positioned closer to each respective end 5, 6 of the plate shaped entity 3 than to its centre, but at a distance from the ends that is long enough to ensure that the cover plate 1 manages to carry a predetermined load.
  • the cover plates 1 are often made 4-6 m long, and they are made to carry several tons of load.
  • a 6 meter cover plate 1 has a thickness of about 50 mm, i.e. the height of the profiles 2 is about 50 mm, and the profile wall thickness is 5 mm.
  • profile heights of 40-60 mm and wall thicknesses of 4-6 mm would be common.
  • each profile 31, 32 is basically U-shaped.
  • a plate shaped entity 33 having a substantially flat top surface and a substantially flat bottom surface, which have similar properties as the top and bottom surfaces 10, 9 of the first embodiment, is obtained.
  • the profiles 31, 32 are arranged adjacent to each other, with the open side of the profiles 31, 32 turned in the same direction.
  • the first and second layers are arranged in engagement with each other with the open sides facing each other.
  • first profiles 31 are laterally displaced relative to the second profiles 32 by half the width of the profiles 31, 32.
  • longitudinal edges 34, 35 at the mouths of the profile openings abut on the inner bottom surfaces 36, 37 of opposite profiles 31, 32.
  • profiles 31, 32 of the first and second layers are alternately attached to each other, e.g. by spot welding along the edges 34, 35 of the profiles 31, 32 to the inner surfaces 36, 37 of the profiles 31, 32, and by spot welding of the adjacent profiles to each other at the top and bottom surfaces of the plate shaped entity 33, like in the first embodiment.
  • the outermost profile at each side of the plate shaped entity 33 will have a residual open aperture which is covered by a strip, or the aperture is covered by arranging an additional profile 38 being a half U-profile, i.e. an angle steel shaped profile.
  • the metal profiles 41 are arc shaped in their longitudinal direction. This means that the cover plate 40 is vault shaped, or concave, though to a minor extent.
  • the bottom surface of a four meter long cover plate 40 has a maximum height D above ground that is about 10 mm.
  • the height above ground D is substantially smaller than the height of the metal profile 41 mentioned above.
