Description

Grid for covering gutters.

The present invention relates to a grid for covering gutters, especially gutters that run on passable surfaces that may be intended for water conduction, for distribution of electrical conduits, etc.

Background of the invention

The gutters for water services, electricity, etc., are usually closed by grilles that ensure continuity of the outer surface, especially when said gutters are located on passable surfaces, since the non-covering or closing of said gutters may cause accidents

The grilles for the closure of these gutters they can be constituted based on two series of partitions metallic that run along two directions perpendicular, remaining, at least on the one hand, the song of the two series of partitions located in the same plane. Also the grilles may consist of a series of partitions parallel metallic, generally equidistant and equal dimensions, to which metal rods that run in direction perpendicular to the partitions and rest on one of the longitudinal edges of said partitions. Usually the rods they are also embedded in the partitions, from the song of the same on those who support, and join, so that the rods do not they protrude from the partitions, defining between them one flat passable surface. The problem with these grids is that between the transverse edges of the partitions and the walls of the  gutters often produce mismatches and slacks, usually for possible deviations or lack of parallelism of the walls of the gutters On the other hand, the support of the grilles is carried out at through the extreme portions of the lower edge of the partitions, which gives rise to approximately specific supports.

Description of the invention

The present invention aims at a gutter grid that allows hiding possible deviations or clearances that may occur between said grid and the walls of the gutter, while ensuring support continuous of the grid on the walls of the gutter in which It is mounted, with a uniform distribution of loads.

The grid of the invention is of the type initially described, composed of metal partitions equal and parallel, and by rods that run in the direction perpendicular to the partitions and support and join on one of the longitudinal edges of said partitions.

According to the invention, the partitions of the grid run between two extreme transverse profiles of support, also of a metallic nature, which are joined by welding to the partitions.

The commented partitions are sectional transverse in Z, of right angles. The central branch of this Z will be of height approximately equal to that of the partitions and will run attached to the transverse edge of each side of said partitions, perpendicular to them. One of the extreme branches of Z profile is located transversely below the partitions, attached to the lower edge of them. The other wing end of the Z is directed towards the outside of the grid, being approximately in prolongation of the plane defined by the upper edge of the partitions.

The union between the grid and the profiles extreme transverse will be done by welding, for example through the lower edge of the partitions and the extreme wing bottom of the Z-profiles, or through the edge cross section of the partitions and the central branch of the profiles extremes

This connection can also be done by welding the  transverse edges of the grid partitions in a nerve longitudinal of the central branch of the transverse profiles.

With the constitution described, the central branch of  the cross sections will be externally attached to the gutter walls while the upper end branch will run on these walls, hiding the possible deviations that could occur between the walls of the gutter and closing grid.

The grid support of the invention can be performed directly on the upper surface of the walls of the gutter or on upper steps produced to the along said gutters.

Detailed description of one embodiment

With the description of the embodiment example shown in the drawings may be better understood characteristics and advantages of the grid of the invention.

As shown in figure 1, the grid is  constituted by a series of partitions 1 of a metallic nature, parallel, equidistant and of equal dimensions, and by a series of also metal rods 2 that run in the direction perpendicular to partitions 1 and rest on one of its edges longitudinal, to which they are joined by electric welding. Preferably the rods 2 will be embedded in the partitions 1, a from the upper edge thereof, so that the rods 2 do not stand out in relation to partitions 1, defining together a continuous passable surface.

The grid composed of partitions 1 and rods 2 is mounted between two extreme transverse profiles 3 of profile in Z.

The central branch 4 of these profiles will be height equal to partitions 1, running one of the branches extreme 5 below the partitions 1, attached to the edge lower longitudinal thereof. The other extreme branch of transversal profiles 3, which is referred to with the number 6, remains directed out of grid, in position approximately coplanar with the plane defined by the song upper partitions 1.

The cross profiles 3 join the partitions 1 by welding, for example through the edge lower part of partitions 1 or the transverse edges of the same.

As can be seen in figure 1, the edges cross-sectional partitions 1 support against the central branch 4 of the transversal profiles, without exceeding superiorly with respect to of the extreme branch 6.

The grid with the constitution described can be mounted on a gutter 7, figure 2, for closing or covering of it, supporting the extreme wings 6 of the two profiles transverse 3 on the upper surface of the walls of the gutter 7, leaving the central branch 4 of the profiles transversal resting externally on the internal surface of the walls of the gutter.

The upper extreme branch 6 of the profiles transversal 3, when resting on the upper surface of the gutter walls 7, will hide any deviation or slack that can occur between these walls and the grid.

On the other hand, the support of the grid on the gutter walls will take place through the extreme branch upper 6, providing continuous grid support over the walls of the gutter.

The extreme branch 6 of the cross sections 4 may be occluded in a step formed along the upper edges of the walls that limit the gutter 7, so that said extreme branch 6 does not protrude from the passable surface 8.

As shown in Figure 3, the central branch 4 of the extreme transverse profiles 3 may have a longitudinal nerve 9 against which it supports and joins, by welding, the adjacent transverse edge of the partitions 1, said partitions being able to support through their lower edge in the lower end branch 5 of the profiles 3.
