Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine des évacuations d'eau au sol et en particulier le domaine des grilles d'évacuation, pour caniveaux, ou tout autre équipement de sol et de récupération des eaux de ruissellement. Plus particulièrement elle a trait à un dispositif, qui est au moins partiellement dissimulé, en particulier un caniveau, un ensemble avec un tel caniveau et au moins deux éléments de revêtement et un procédé de montage d'un tel caniveau avec au moins deux éléments de revêtement.The present invention relates to the field of water evacuations on the ground and in particular the field of drainage grids, gutters, or other soil equipment and runoff water recovery. More particularly it relates to a device, which is at least partially concealed, in particular a gutter, an assembly with such a gutter and at least two coating elements and a method of mounting such a gutter with at least two elements of coating.

On connait des caniveaux avec un corps de caniveau recouvert par une grille, sur laquelle est formée une saillie longitudinale sur la longueur du corps de grille. La saillie est munie d'une fente d'évacuation des eaux, de part et d'autre de laquelle on pose le revêtement ou dallage, comme par exemple le caniveau décrit dans le document FR2683557 .Gutters are known with a channel body covered by a grid, on which is formed a longitudinal projection along the length of the grid body. The projection is provided with a drainage slot, on either side of which is laid the coating or pavement, such as the gutter described in the document FR2683557 .

Un inconvénient de ce type de grille est qu'il faut prévoir des grilles avec des hauteurs prédéfinies selon le type et l'épaisseur du revêtement à utiliser, ce qui multiplie les modèles. Autrement le poseur doit redécouper la fente de la grille pour éviter que la fente ne dépasse du revêtement une fois posé.A disadvantage of this type of grid is that it is necessary to provide grids with predefined heights according to the type and thickness of the coating to be used, which multiplies the models. Otherwise the installer must cut the slot of the grid to prevent the slot from protruding from the coating once laid.

Ce type de caniveaux avec grille à fente laissent également apparaitre une feuillure ou une fine grille une fois le revêtement posé. Ceci peut être inesthétique ou jugé trop visible.This type of channel with slot grid also reveal a rabbet or a fine grid once the coating is laid. This can be unsightly or deemed too visible.

Un objet de l'invention est de prévoir un ensemble de caniveau permettant de s'adapter à la hauteur du revêtement.An object of the invention is to provide a set of gutter to adapt to the height of the coating.

A cet effet, l'invention propose un caniveau comprenant une goulotte de caniveau, la goulotte ayant un fond de caniveau et une paroi de goulotte, une couverture de caniveau, la couverture ayant un corps de ouverture, avec une surface supérieure et une surface inférieure opposée à la surface supérieure, avec au moins une ouverture dans la surface supérieure pour recevoir au moins deux éléments de revêtement. Au moins deux éléments espaceurs de revêtement, pour la butée des au moins deux éléments de revêtement de part et d'autre des au moins deux éléments espaceurs, sont prévus, dans lequel les au moins deux éléments espaceurs sont alignés sur la surface supérieure dans une direction d'alignement et sont séparés par ladite au moins une ouverture dans la direction d'alignement. Les au moins deux éléments espaceurs font saillie de la surface supérieure du corps de couverture, formant ainsi avec ladite au moins une ouverture une bouche d'évacuation.For this purpose, the invention proposes a gutter comprising a gutter chute, the chute having a gutter bottom and a chute wall, a gutter cover, the cover having an opening body, with an upper surface and a lower surface. opposed to the upper surface, with at least one opening in the upper surface for receiving at least two coating elements. At least two coating spacer elements, for the abutment of the at least two coating elements on either side of the at least two spacer elements, are provided in which the at least two elements spacers are aligned on the top surface in an alignment direction and are separated by said at least one aperture in the alignment direction. The at least two spacers protrude from the upper surface of the cover body, thereby forming with said at least one opening a discharge mouth.

Ainsi, le caniveau comprend une couverture de caniveau qui assure une reprise d'appui pour un revêtement de finition qui se superpose à la couverture et au sol adjacent à la goulotte, tout en permettant la délimitation d'un espace de passage d'eau lorsque le revêtement est posé, à l'aide de la au moins une bouche d'évacuation formée entre les éléments espaceurs dans la direction d'alignement.Thus, the gutter includes a gutter cover that provides support for a finishing coating that is superimposed on the cover and the ground adjacent to the chute, while allowing the delimitation of a water passage space when the coating is laid using the at least one discharge mouth formed between the spacer elements in the alignment direction.

La couverture peut être en un seul morceau ou en plusieurs parties. Un exemple de couverture est une grille de caniveau posée en un bloc sur la goulotte.The cover can be in one piece or in several parts. An example of a cover is a gutter grid laid in a block on the chute.

Les au moins deux éléments espaceurs peuvent être choisis parmi une pluralité de plots, formés intégralement avec le corps de couverture, une pluralité de croisillons, une pluralité de pions amovibles rapportés sur le corps de grille.The at least two spacer elements may be selected from a plurality of studs formed integrally with the cover body, a plurality of braces, a plurality of removable pegs attached to the grid body.

Selon un mode de réalisation les plots ont une épaisseur qui diminue en s'éloignant de la surface supérieure du corps de couverture, en particulier une forme en pointe, tronconique, pyramidale. Une telle forme permet de réduire les risques d'obstruction et facilite l'entretien ou le nettoyage du caniveau.According to one embodiment the pads have a thickness which decreases away from the upper surface of the cover body, in particular a pointed, frustoconical, pyramidal shape. Such a shape reduces the risk of obstruction and facilitates the maintenance or cleaning of the gutter.

Dans un mode de réalisation les plots ont une hauteur d'environ 8 mm et/ou une épaisseur d'environ 8 mm. Une telle hauteur est inférieure à une majorité de revêtements envisagés. Une épaisseur inférieure ou égale à 8 mm assure une largeur entre deux éléments de revêtement suffisante pour le passage d'eau et restant compatible avec la circulation pied nus au sens de la norme EN1253-2.In one embodiment the pads have a height of about 8 mm and / or a thickness of about 8 mm. Such a height is less than a majority of coatings envisaged. A thickness less than or equal to 8 mm ensures a width between two elements of coating sufficient for the passage of water and remaining compatible with barefoot circulation in accordance with EN1253-2.

Selon encore un mode de réalisation la couverture comprend une deuxième pluralité de deuxièmes ouvertures dans la surface supérieure distinctes des premières ouvertures. Des deuxièmes ouvertures peuvent permettre d'éviter des rétentions d'eau, qui pourraient autrement entrainer des nuisances telles que des gîtes larvaires de moustiques ou bien une fissuration au gel.According to yet another embodiment the cover comprises a second plurality of second openings in the upper surface distinct from the first openings. Second openings can prevent water retention, which could otherwise lead to nuisances such as breeding mosquito larvae or frost cracking.

Dans un mode de réalisation, la couverture peut être positionnée soit dans une position d'évacuation dans laquelle les plots éléments espaceurs font saillie vers l'extérieur du côté opposé au fond de caniveau, soit dans une position de regard dans laquelle les plots éléments espaceurs font saillie vers le fond de caniveau. Ainsi la couverture est réversible.In one embodiment, the cover may be positioned either in an evacuation position in which the spacer element studs protrude outwardly from the opposite side to the channel bottom, or in a viewing position in which the spacer element studs protrude towards the bottom of the gutter. So the cover is reversible.

Le corps de couverture peut comprendre une empreinte ou évidement pour loger un élément de préhension, en particulier un écrou, et l'empreinte comprenant un trou d'évacuation d'eau pour le passage. Le trou peut également servir de repère servir de repère à la pose en permettant l'introduction d'une pointe de stylo ou d'un poinçon afin de marquer l'axe de perçage.The cover body may include a recess or recess for housing a gripping member, particularly a nut, and the recess including a water discharge hole for passage. The hole can also serve as a benchmark to serve as a benchmark for laying by allowing the introduction of a pen tip or punch to mark the axis of drilling.

Lorsque la couverture est en position de regard, elle peut comprendre un élément de préhension logé dans une empreinte, pour permettre une manipulation aisée de la couverture.When the cover is in the position of gaze, it can include a gripping element housed in a footprint, to allow easy manipulation of the cover.

L'invention propose également un ensemble comprenant un tel caniveau et au moins deux éléments de revêtement disposés en moins en partie sur la couverture de caniveau, en butée de part et d'autre contre les au moins deux éléments espaceurs, formant ainsi un passage d'évacuation au moins en partie entre les au moins deux éléments de revêtement dans la direction d'alignement des éléments espaceurs. Dans l'ensemble selon l'invention, les éléments espaceurs assurent la largeur et l'alignement de la fente, et c'est la hauteur du revêtement, qui définit la hauteur de fente.The invention also proposes an assembly comprising such a gutter and at least two coating elements arranged in part less on the gutter cover, abutting on either side against the at least two spacer elements, thereby forming a passageway. at least partially discharging between the at least two coating elements in the alignment direction of the spacer elements. In the assembly according to the invention, the spacer elements ensure the width and the alignment of the slot, and it is the height of the coating, which defines the slot height.

L'invention vise également un procédé d'assemblage d'un tel ensemble de caniveau et/ou à l'aide d'un tel caniveau comprenant les étapes consistant à poser une/la goulotte de caniveau dans une zone de pose de caniveau, poser la couverture de caniveau sur la goulotte de caniveau et placer les au moins deux éléments espaceurs en les orientant vers l'extérieur, et placer les au moins deux éléments de revêtement sur la grille, en butée de part et d'autre les au moins deux éléments espaceurs, formant ainsi un passage d'évacuation d'eau au moins en partie entre les au moins deux éléments de revêtement, dans la direction d'alignement des éléments espaceurs.The invention also relates to a method of assembling such a set of gutter and / or using such a gutter comprising the steps of placing a / gutter channel in a gutter laying area, ask the gutter cover on the gutter chute and placing the at least two spacer elements outwardly, and placing the at least two lining elements on the grid, abutting on both sides the at least two spacer elements, thereby forming a water discharge passage at least in part between the at least two coating elements, in the direction of alignment of the spacer elements.

Ainsi, selon la présente invention, c'est la hauteur du revêtement qui définit la hauteur de passage d'eau ou de fente. La couverture intègre des éléments espaceurs qui assurent la largeur et l'alignement de la fente ainsi formée Ainsi, cette délimitation du passage peut se faire quel que soit la nature et l'épaisseur du revêtement, sans opération d'ajustement ou usage d'éléments connexes.Thus, according to the present invention, it is the height of the coating which defines the height of passage of water or slit. The cover incorporates spacers that ensure the width and alignment of the slot thus formed Thus, this delimitation of the passage can be made regardless of the nature and thickness of the coating, without adjusting operation or use of related elements.

La figure 1 illustre un ensemble de caniveau 1 selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention.The figure 1 illustrates a set of gutter 1 according to one embodiment of the invention.

L'ensemble de caniveau 1 comprend un caniveau 2 avec une goulotte de caniveau 10 recouverte d'une couverture de caniveau 20. Lors du montage et tel que illustré a la figure 1 deux éléments de revêtements 62, 64, qui ne forment pas partie de l'ensemble mais qui le complètent, sont assemblés en appui au moins en partie sur la couverture 20, et sur la zone de sol adjacent autour de la goulotte de caniveau.The gutter assembly 1 comprises a gutter 2 with a gutter channel 10 covered with a gutter cover 20. During assembly and as shown in FIG. figure 1 two covering elements 62, 64, which do not form part of the assembly but which complement it, are assembled in support at least partly on the cover 20, and on the adjacent ground zone around the channel trough.

La goulotte 10 a un fond de caniveau 12 et une paroi de goulotte 14. Une zone de réception 16 est prévue sur la goulotte 10 pour recevoir la couverture 20.The chute 10 has a channel bottom 12 and a chute wall 14. A receiving zone 16 is provided on the chute 10 to receive the cover 20.

Un exemple de couverture de caniveau est illustré sur la figure 2. La couverture de caniveau 20 a un corps de couverture 22, avec une surface supérieure 24 et une surface inférieure 26 opposée à la surface supérieure, et au moins deux éléments espaceurs 40. Au moins une ouverture 30 étant prévu entre lesdits au moins deux espaceurs 40.An example of a gutter cover is shown on the figure 2 . The channel cover 20 has a cover body 22, with an upper surface 24 and a lower surface 26 opposite to the upper surface, and at least two spacer elements 40. At least one opening 30 is provided between said at least two spacers 40 .

Sur la figure 2, dix éléments espaceurs 40 sont prévus, alignés sur la surface supérieure 24 dans une direction d'alignement X-X. Les dix éléments espaceurs 40 sont séparés par neuf ouvertures 30 dans la surface supérieure 24, dans la direction d'alignement X-X. Les dix éléments espaceurs font saillie de la surface supérieure 24 du corps de couverture 22, formant ainsi avec les neuf ouvertures 30 neuf bouches d'évacuation 32.On the figure 2 , ten spacer elements 40 are provided, aligned on the upper surface 24 in an alignment direction XX. The ten spacer elements 40 are separated by nine openings 30 in the upper surface 24, in the alignment direction XX. The ten spacer elements protrude from the upper surface 24 of the cover body 22, thus forming with the nine openings 30 nine exhaust vents 32.

La direction d'alignement X-X correspond à la direction longitudinale du corps de couverture. Ainsi, la direction d'alignement X-X correspond à la direction longitudinale du caniveau, comme bien vu sur les figures. Ceci permet de créer une fente ayant une étendue beaucoup plus longue que la largeur du caniveau.The alignment direction XX corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the cover body. Thus, the alignment direction XX corresponds to the longitudinal direction of the gutter, as seen in the figures. This makes it possible to create a slot having an extent much longer than the width of the gutter.

Sur la figure 2, dix éléments espaceurs 40 sont prévus en alternance avec neuf ouvertures de couverture. Ceci n'est qu'un exemple non limitatif. L'homme du métier comprendra qu'il faut au moins deux éléments espaceurs 40 espacés par une ouverture 30 pour former au moins une bouche d'évacuation 32.On the figure 2 ten spacer elements 40 are provided alternately with nine cover openings. This is only a non-limiting example. Those skilled in the art will understand that at least two spacers 40 spaced apart by an opening 30 are required to form at least one exhaust port 32.

Comme bien vu à la figure 1, les éléments de revêtement 62, 64 sont posés sur la couverture, en butée contre les éléments espaceurs 40 de part et d'autre des éléments espaceurs 40. Ainsi, une fente ou un passage 5 se matérialise entre les éléments de revêtement 62, 64, pour permettre l'évacuation d'eau par la ou les bouches d'évacuation 32. Cette délimitation du passage peut se faire quel que soit la nature et l'épaisseur du revêtement, sans opération d'ajustement ou usage d'éléments connexes.As seen well in the figure 1 , the covering elements 62, 64 are placed on the cover, abutting against the spacer elements 40 on either side of the spacer elements 40. Thus, a slot or a passageway 5 is materialized between the covering elements 62, 64 , to allow the evacuation of water through the exhaust outlet or mouths 32. This delimitation of the passage can be made regardless of the nature and thickness of the coating, without adjustment operation or use of related elements.

De même, comme on le voit sur les figures, le rebord des éléments de revêtement 62, 64, du côté de la fente, posés sur le corps de couverture, reposent en majorité sur la surface supérieure du corps de couverture, et une petite partie sur les ouvertures 230. En effet, la surface projetée des ouvertures de couverture, centrales, représentent un faible pourcentage de la surface totale du corps de couverture, par exemple entre 2 et 10%, de préférence entre 4 et 6% de la surface supérieure du corps de couverture. Les éléments de revêtement 62, 64 reposent en majorité sur la couverture et non sur le vide des ouvertures. En effet il est souhaitable que les éléments de revêtements puissent être soulevés non pas par inadvertance lors de son utilisation normale mais uniquement pour une situation spécifique de nettoyage ou de désassemblage. Par ailleurs un support sur une grande partie du pourtour garantit un faible risque de cassure sur les rebords des éléments de revêtement.Similarly, as seen in the figures, the edge of the coating elements 62, 64, on the side of the slot, placed on the cover body, rest mainly on the upper surface of the cover body, and a small portion 230. In fact, the projected surface of the central cover openings represents a small percentage of the total area of the cover body, for example between 2 and 10%, preferably between 4 and 6% of the upper surface. cover body. The covering elements 62, 64 rest mainly on the cover and not on the vacuum of the openings. Indeed it is desirable that the coating elements can be raised not inadvertently during its normal use but only for a specific situation of cleaning or disassembly. In addition, a support over a large part of the periphery guarantees a low risk of breaking on the edges of the coating elements.

En d'autres termes, selon la présente invention, la couverture 20 intègre des éléments espaceurs 40 qui assurent la largeur et l'alignement de la fente, et c'est la hauteur du revêtement 62, 64, qui définit la hauteur de fente 5.In other words, according to the present invention, the cover 20 incorporates spacers 40 which provide the width and the alignment of the slot, and it is the height of the coating 62, 64, which defines the slot height 5 .

Un autre exemple de couverture de caniveau est illustré sur la figure 3a (vue de face) et sur les figures 3b-3c (vue de dessous ou verso), positionnée sur une goulotte de caniveau 10.Another example of a gutter cover is shown on the figure 3a (front view) and on Figures 3b-3c (bottom or back view), positioned on a gutter chute 10.

La couverture de caniveau 220 a un corps de couverture 222, avec une surface supérieure 224 et une surface inférieure 226 opposée à la surface supérieure, et une pluralité d'éléments espaceurs 240.The gutter cover 220 has a cover body 222, with an upper surface 224 and a bottom surface 226 opposite to the upper surface, and a plurality of spacer members 240.

Sur la figure 3a, dix éléments espaceurs 240 sont prévus, alignés sur la surface supérieure 224 dans une direction d'alignement X-X. Les dix éléments espaceurs 240 sont séparés par neuf ouvertures 230 dans la surface supérieure 224, dans la direction d'alignement X-X. Les dix éléments espaceurs font saillie de la surface supérieure 224 du corps de couverture 222, formant ainsi avec les neuf ouvertures 230 neuf bouches d'évacuation 232.On the figure 3a , ten spacer elements 240 are provided, aligned on the upper surface 224 in an alignment direction XX. The ten spacer elements 240 are separated by nine openings 230 in the upper surface 224, in the alignment direction XX. The ten spacer elements protrude from the upper surface 224 of the cover body 222, thus forming with the nine openings 230 nine exhaust vents 232.

Sur les figures 2 et 3a-3c, les éléments espaceurs 40, 240 sont des plots formés intégralement avec le corps de couverture 22, 222. Ceci n'est qu'un exemple non limitatif. Comme illustré et expliqué plus en détails sur les figures 7 et 8, les éléments espaceurs peuvent être des pièces rapportées sur le corps de couverture, sous forme de plots, tiges, croisillons.On the figures 2 and 3a-3c , the spacer elements 40, 240 are pads formed integrally with the cover body 22, 222. This is only a non-limiting example. As illustrated and explained in more detail on Figures 7 and 8 , the spacers may be patches on the cover body, in the form of studs, rods, braces.

Les plots 240 de la couverture 220 sont de forme tronconique. L'homme du métier comprendra qu'une une épaisseur qui diminue en s'éloignant de la surface supérieure du corps de couverture, comme par exemple des plots en forme en pointe, tronconique, ou pyramidale, permet de réduire les risques d'obstruction et faciliter l'entretien ou le nettoyage de la couverture et du caniveau en utilisation.The pads 240 of the cover 220 are of frustoconical shape. Those skilled in the art will understand that a thickness which decreases away from the upper surface of the cover body, such as for example conical, frustoconical, or pyramidal shaped pads, reduces the risk of obstruction and facilitate maintenance or cleaning of the cover and gutter in use.

Les plots ou éléments espaceurs peuvent avoir une hauteur de 8 mm et/ou une épaisseur de 8 mm. Cette dimension en hauteur permet d'avoir une hauteur inférieure à une majorité d'épaisseurs de revêtement envisagées. Une épaisseur maximum de 8 mm permet de garantir une largeur entre deux éléments de revêtements suffisamment grande pour permettre l'évacuation de l'eau, tout en restant dans les normes dans le domaine (par exemple inférieure à la dimension d'un orteil et compatible avec la circulation pieds nus).The studs or spacers may have a height of 8 mm and / or a thickness of 8 mm. This height dimension allows to have a height less than a majority of coating thicknesses envisaged. A maximum thickness of 8 mm ensures a width between two elements of coatings large enough to allow the evacuation of water, while remaining within the standards in the field (for example less than the size of a toe and compatible with circulation barefoot).

Le corps de couverture 222 comprend également une pluralité de deuxièmes ouvertures 270 dans la surface supérieure 224. Les deuxièmes ouvertures 270 sont distinctes des premières ouvertures 230.The cover body 222 also includes a plurality of second openings 270 in the upper surface 224. The second openings 270 are distinct from the first openings 230.

Ces deuxièmes ouvertures sont destinées à être sous le revêtement, en utilisation. Ces deuxièmes ouvertures sont prévues pour éviter les rétentions d'eau, quel que soit le sens de pose de la couverture, qui pourraient autrement entrainer des nuisances telles que des gîtes larvaires de moustiques ou bien une fissuration au gel, lorsque la couverture 222 est en position fonctionnelle sur la goulotte de caniveau 10.These second openings are intended to be under the coating, in use. These second openings are designed to avoid water retention, regardless of the direction of laying of the cover, which could otherwise lead to nuisances such as mosquito larval breeding or frost cracking, when the cover 222 is in functional position on the gutter chute 10.

Ces deuxièmes ouvertures représentent également un faible pourcentage de la surface supérieure du corps de couverture, par exemple entre 2 et 10%, de préférence entre 4 et 6% de la surface supérieure du corps de couverture.These second openings also represent a small percentage of the upper surface of the cover body, for example between 2 and 10%, preferably between 4 and 6% of the upper surface of the cover body.

Le corps de couverture 222 de la couverture 220 illustrée sur les figures 3a et 3b est également muni d'une empreinte ou évidement 250, pour loger un élément de préhension, en particulier un écrou. L'empreinte 250 est illustrée en détail sur les figures 4 et 5. L'empreinte 250 a un corps d'empreinte 254 prévu pour loger un élément de préhension 256, par exemple un écrou, comme illustré à la figure 5. Le corps d'empreinte 254 est de forme correspondante à la forme de l'élément de préhension.The cover body 222 of the cover 220 illustrated on the Figures 3a and 3b is also provided with a recess or recess 250 for accommodating a gripping element, in particular a nut. The footprint 250 is illustrated in detail on the Figures 4 and 5 . The impression 250 has an impression body 254 intended to house a gripping element 256, for example a nut, as illustrated in FIG. figure 5 . The impression body 254 has a shape corresponding to the shape of the gripping element.

L'empreinte 250 comprend un trou 252, pour l'évacuation d'eau. Le trou 252 peut également servir de repère à un poseur pour le montage, par exemple en permettant l'introduction d'un poinçon ou une pointe de stylo afin de marquer l'axe de perçage dans le matériau de revêtement de sol.The impression 250 comprises a hole 252, for the evacuation of water. The hole 252 may also serve as a marker for a setter for mounting, for example by allowing the insertion of a punch or a pen tip to mark the piercing axis in the flooring material.

Sur la figure 1, la couverture est positionnée dans une position d'évacuation dans laquelle les éléments espaceurs font saillie vers l'extérieur du côté opposé au fond de caniveau. La couverture est réversible et peut être dans une position de regard dans laquelle les plots (si rapportés ou formés intégralement avec le corps de couverture) font saillie vers le fond de caniveau, comme illustrée sur les figures 6a et 6b.On the figure 1 the cover is positioned in an evacuation position in which the spacer elements protrude outwardly from the side opposite the channel bottom. The cover is reversible and may be in a viewing position in which the pads (if attached or integrally formed with the cover body) protrude towards the bottom of the gutter, as illustrated on the Figures 6a and 6b .

Ainsi, la couverture peut également avoir une fonction de regard sur le côté opposé aux plots. La couverture est réversible avec des éléments espaceurs côté recto pour matérialiser une fente d'évacuation, en utilisation, et une fonction regard sur verso.Thus, the cover can also have a look function on the opposite side to the pads. The cover is reversible with spacer elements on the front side to materialize an evacuation slot, in use, and a reverse look function.

Un autre exemple de couverture 320 est illustrée sur la figure 7, selon un autre de mode de réalisation de l'invention. La couverture 320 selon la figure 6 diffère essentiellement des couvertures 20, 220 des figures 2 et 3a-3b, respectivement, en ce que la couverture 320 comprend des éléments espaceurs 340 qui sont rapportés sur le corps de couverture mais ne sont pas formés intégralement avec le corps de couverture.Another example of coverage 320 is illustrated on the figure 7 according to another embodiment of the invention. 320 coverage according to the figure 6 essentially differs from the blankets 20, 220 of figures 2 and 3a-3b , respectively, in that the coverage 320 comprises spacers 340 which are attached to the cover body but are not formed integrally with the cover body.

A la figure 7, les éléments espaceurs sont des croisillons.To the figure 7 the spacer elements are braces.

La figure 8 illustre une couverture de caniveau 420 selon encore un autre de mode de réalisation de l'invention. Dans l'exemple de la figure 8, la couverture 420 comprend des trous 442 pour loger des éléments espaceurs 440 qui ne sont pas formés intégralement avec le corps de couverture. Dans cet exemple, les éléments espaceurs 440 sont des pions amovibles. Sur la figure 8, seulement une partie des éléments espaceurs 440 a été reportée dans la couverture 420.The figure 8 illustrates a gutter cover 420 according to yet another embodiment of the invention. In the example of the figure 8 Cover 420 includes holes 442 for accommodating spacers 440 which are not integrally formed with the cover body. In this example, the spacer elements 440 are removable pegs. On the figure 8 only part of the spacers 440 has been reported in the cover 420.

La figure 9 montre encore un autre mode de réalisation d'une couverture de caniveau 520. Dans l'exemple de la figure 9, les éléments espaceurs 540 sont positionnés latéralement sur la surface supérieure par rapport à une position sensiblement centrale illustrés sur les couvertures des figures 2 à 5.The figure 9 shows yet another embodiment of a gutter cover 520. In the example of the figure 9 the spacer elements 540 are positioned laterally on the upper surface with respect to a substantially central position illustrated on the covers of the Figures 2 to 5 .

Tous les composants du système peuvent être en matière plastique, en béton, en métal ou composite, solidaire ou dissocié du corps de caniveau.All system components may be plastic, concrete, metal or composite, integral or dissociated from the channel body.

Un procédé de montage d'aux moins deux éléments de revêtement sur un caniveau à est illustré à la figure 10, en référence à la figure 1.A method of mounting at least two lining elements on a gutter is illustrated in FIG. figure 10 , with reference to the figure 1 .

Dans une première étape S1, le poseur peut placer une/la goulotte de caniveau 10 dans une zone de pose de caniveau.In a first step S1, the installer can place a gutter chute 10 in a gutter laying area.

La couverture 20 peut ensuite être placée sur la goulotte de caniveau, avec les éléments espaceurs en les orientant vers l'extérieur et non vers le fond de la goulotte 12 (étape S2)The cover 20 can then be placed on the channel trough with the spacers pointing outwards and not towards the bottom of the trough 12 (step S2).

L'homme du métier comprend que lorsque les éléments espaceurs sont formés intégralement avec la couverture, comme pour les couvertures des figures 1 à 5 et 9, le poseur place simplement la couverture 20, 220 en position recto avec la surface supérieure 24, 224 orientée vers l'extérieur, sur la goulotte 10.Those skilled in the art understand that when the spacer elements are formed integrally with the cover, as for the blankets of the Figures 1 to 5 and 9 , the installer simply places the cover 20, 220 in a recto position with the upper surface 24, 224 facing outwards, on the chute 10.

Lorsque les éléments espaceurs ne sont pas formés intégralement avec la couverture, comme les couvertures des figures 7 à 9, soit le poseur place simplement la couverture 320, 420, 520 en position recto, sur la goulotte 10, et rapporter ensuite les éléments espaceurs, soit le poseur peut autrement rapporter d'abord les éléments espaceurs sur la surface supérieure de la couverture, dans les trous prévus à cet effet, puis poser celle-ci sur la goulotte.When spacers are not integrally formed with the blanket, such as blankets Figures 7 to 9 or the installer simply places the cover 320, 420, 520 in the front position on the chute 10, and then return the spacer elements, or the installer may otherwise first bring the spacers onto the upper surface of the cover, in the holes provided for this purpose, then put it on the chute.

Ensuite, le poseur peut placer les éléments de revêtement sur la couverture et la zone de pose. Pour cela, le poseur peut ajuster les éléments de revêtement en butée de part et d'autre des deux éléments espaceurs, formant ainsi une fente ou passage d'évacuation d'eau entre les éléments de revêtement dans la direction d'alignement des éléments espaceurs (étape S3).Then, the installer can place the coating elements on the cover and the laying area. For this, the installer can adjust the coating elements in abutment on either side of the two spacer elements, thus forming a slot or water discharge passage between the coating elements in the alignment direction of the spacer elements (Step S3).

Une fois le montage terminé, les éléments de revêtement 62, 64 matérialisent ensemble avec les éléments espaceurs un passage d'évacuation d'eau dans la direction d'alignement. Un espace régulier de passage d'eau est obtenu, quel que soit la nature et l'épaisseur du revêtement, sans opération d'ajustement ou usage d'éléments connexes, tant que le revêtement est plus épais que la hauteur des éléments espaceurs.Once the assembly is complete, the covering elements 62, 64 together with the spacer elements form a water discharge passage in the alignment direction. A regular water passage is obtained, regardless of the nature and thickness of the coating, without adjusting operation or use of related elements, as long as the coating is thicker than the height of the spacers.

L'homme du métier comprend que les éléments de revêtement peuvent être positionnés en butées contre les éléments d'espaceurs, mais ne doivent pas nécessairement être alignés les uns en face des autres le long de la direction d'alignement. Un décalage entre les éléments de revêtement est possible, pour des raisons techniques ou esthétiques.Those skilled in the art understand that the coating elements may be abutted against the spacer members, but need not be aligned opposite each other along the alignment direction. An offset between the coating elements is possible, for technical or aesthetic reasons.

Par exemple, pour une couverture avec 5 éléments espaceurs, on peut avoir un premier élément de revêtement sur le côté droit (à titre d'exemple), en butée contre les deux premiers éléments espaceurs, un deuxième élément de revêtement côté droit en butée contre les trois derniers éléments espaceurs, alors que du côté gauche, un troisième élément de revêtement est en butée contre les trois premiers éléments espaceurs alors qu'un quatrième élément de revêtement est en butée contre les deux derniers éléments espaceurs.For example, for a cover with 5 spacer elements, one can have a first coating element on the right side (for example), abutting against the first two spacer elements, a second right-side coating element in abutment against the last three spacer elements, while on the left side, a third coating element abuts against the first three spacer elements while a fourth coating element abuts against the last two spacer elements.

Si des deuxièmes ouvertures sont prévues, comme pour la couverture 220 de la figure 3a, 3b, elles sont recouvertes par le revêtement 62, 64. Ces deuxièmes ouvertures sont prévues pour éviter les rétentions d'eau, qui pourraient autrement entrainer des nuisances telles que des gîtes larvaires de moustiques ou bien une fissuration au gel, lorsque la couverture 220 est en position fonctionnelle sur la goulotte de caniveau 10.If second openings are provided, as for the blanket 220 of the Figure 3a, 3b , they are covered by the coating 62, 64. These second openings are provided to prevent water retention, which could otherwise cause nuisance such as mosquito breeding sites or frost cracking, when the cover 220 is in operative position on the gutter chute 10.

La couverture est de préférence en matériau PVC, les éléments de revêtement peuvent être collées sur la couverture, à l'aide d'un mastic type MS polymère.The cover is preferably PVC material, the coating elements can be glued to the cover, using a type MS polymer mastic.

Bien que le procédé ait été décrit à l'aide d'une couverture en une seule pièce, on comprendra que le procédé d'assemblage peut aussi s'appliquer à l'aide d'une couverture en deux ou plusieurs parties posées sur un support sur la goulotte, et espacées par des croisillons ou autres éléments espaceurs.Although the method has been described using a one-piece cover, it will be understood that the assembly method can also be applied using a blanket in two or more parts placed on a support on the chute, and spaced by braces or other spacers.

Ainsi, la présente invention propose une couverture de caniveau qui assure une reprise d'appui pour un revêtement de finition qui se superpose à la couverture et au sol adjacent ; la délimitation d'un espace régulier de passage d'eau, quel que soit la nature et l'épaisseur du revêtement, sans opération d'ajustement ou usage d'éléments connexes.Thus, the present invention provides a gutter cover that assures a resumption of support for a finish coating that is superimposed on the cover and the adjacent ground; the delimitation of a regular space of water passage, whatever the nature and the thickness of the coating, without adjustment operation or use of related elements.
