Description

  The present invention relates to a flat handle device applied to a cover panel such as a manhole cover installed on a roadway or a sidewalk, an opening / closing door of a floor storage in a house, and an opening / closing cover of a hidden staircase.

In this type of heavy lid panel, an eyebolt type handle that can be hung by an operator or a wire from a lifting machine is attached to the lid panel in order to facilitate lifting when opening and closing and removing. A screw hole provided at an appropriate position is installed by screwing (see Patent Document 1).
In a steady state where the lifting operation of the lid panel is not performed, the screw hole of the lid panel is filled with a closing bolt having a driver groove formed on the upper surface. The closing bolt is rotated by a normal rotary tool during the lifting operation, and is extracted from the screw hole. Thereafter, the lower end screw shaft portion of the mounting bracket is screwed into the screw hole.

In this conventional device, the upper end face of the closing bolt is provided with a normal driver groove that is compatible with a commercially available ordinary rotary tool, so the closing bolt is tampered with and extracted from the screw hole. There is a risk that a metal rod or the like is inserted into or engaged with the empty screw hole and the lid panel is opened without permission.
In addition, even when an authorized administrator opens the lid panel, when the eyebolt handle is screwed in, the closure bolt is completely removed from the screw hole. There was a risk of losing the closure bolt with care.

JP 2004-76863 A

  The problem of the present invention is that it is strong against tampering, and the upper surface of the lid panel is kept flat in a steady state. It is intended to provide a flat handle device that does not have a risk of loss.

The flat handle device of the present invention is a guide cylinder that is fitted into a receiving hole formed in a vertical direction on a lid panel to be lifted, and is fixed to the lid panel so that the upper end opening surface is flush with the upper surface of the lid panel. In a steady state, the upper end surface is accommodated in the guide cylinder so as to be flush with the upper surface of the lid panel, and a closing bolt having a screw portion formed on the outer peripheral surface of the upper end portion, and a projecting projecting side surface of the lower end portion of the closing bolt The stopper pin inserted in the slot on the side surface of the guide cylinder and the receiving pin on the outer peripheral surface of the closing bolt are elastically held in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the guide cylinder to hold the closing bolt in a predetermined slide position. It is screwed into the vertical screw hole of the member and the closing bolt, and is housed in the relief recess on the upper end surface of the closing bolt so that the circular head is flush with the upper surface of the lid panel in the steady state. And drive of a dedicated rotary tool And a lower end nut portion on the screw portion of the closing bolt protruding above the guide cylinder, which is removed from the lid panel in a steady state. And a handle metal fitting to be screwed.

In the flat handle device thus configured, in a steady state where the lid panel is not lifted, the upper end surface of the closing bolt and the upper surface of the circular head of the knob screw are flush with the upper surface of the lid panel. Therefore, there is no problem in traveling the vehicle, passing pedestrians, walking resident, transporting or installing the equipment.
When you want to remove the lid panel, you can engage the drive part of a special rotary tool, which is generally not commercially available, with the passive part of the circular head of the knob screw and rotate it in the direction to loosen the knob screw. Will not be tampered with, and there is no risk of the lid panel being opened without permission.

The circular head of the picking screw floats up from the relief recess of the closing bolt by the rotation operation and protrudes to a position where the operator can pick it up with a fingertip. Is projected above the guide cylinder, but since an appropriate frictional force is given by the elastic member inserted between the outer peripheral surface of the closing bolt and the inner peripheral surface of the guide cylinder, The protruding state is kept stable, and the lower end nut portion of the handle metal fitting to the upper end screw portion of the closing bolt is smoothly engaged.

When the picking screw is pulled up against the frictional force of the elastic member, the pull-out amount of the closing bolt is limited to a constant by the stopper pin abutting against the inner surface of the upper end of the slot. When multiple places are installed on the panel, there is no variation in the pull-out state of the closing bolt.

As described above, the stopper pin abuts against the inner surface of the upper end of the slot, so that complete removal of the closing bolt is prevented, and the closing bolt is always held in the guide cylinder even if it is different in the sliding position. In addition, since the lower end nut portion of the handle metal fitting is screwed into the upper end screw portion, there is no risk of losing the closing bolt during operation unlike the conventional apparatus.

In the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, a metal base plate 2 is mounted on the lower surface of the lid panel 1 to be lifted, and the location plate 4 welded to the lower part of the metal guide tube 3 is used as the base plate. 2 is welded. Slots 5 that are long in the vertical direction are formed in the left and right side walls of the guide tube 3. The round-head screw-shaped stopper pin 6 has a screw shaft portion screwed into a transverse screw hole 8 in a diameter direction of a metal closing bolt 7 from both sides.

The receiving groove 9 is formed in an annular shape at two locations, an upper portion and an intermediate portion of the closing bolt 7, and the elastic member 10 fitted into this is composed of an O-ring made of silicon rubber or the like. A large-diameter finger-hanging flange 13 is provided at the base of the circular head portion 12 of the picking screw 11, and this outer peripheral surface is also formed in a circular shape so that no rotational force is applied. A vertical screw hole 23 into which the knob screw 11 is screwed is formed in the center of the upper end surface of the closing bolt 7.

The relief recess 14 on the upper end surface of the closing bolt 7 is formed in a circular cross section, and the finger hooking flange 13 is closely fitted. The passive part 15 on the circular head 12 side is composed of six longitudinal grooves arranged at equal intervals on the outer peripheral surface of the circular head 12. Correspondingly, the drive unit 17 on the metal dedicated rotary tool 16 side is formed by six protrusions formed on the inner peripheral surface of the circular recess 18 that can receive the circular head 12.

The inner space of the lower end nut portion 20 of the metal handle 19 has a length sufficient to receive the upper end screw portion 21 of the closing bolt 7 in which the knob screw 11 is in a protruding state. An eye portion 22 is formed on the handle metal fitting 19, and the eye portion 22 is directly gripped by an operator's hand, or a lifting wire tip fitting drawn from a lifting machine is hooked.

It is a top view before the handle metal fitting attachment of the flat handle apparatus for lid panels which concerns on one Example of this invention. It is the front view which showed a part of flat handle apparatus of FIG. 1 with the longitudinal cross-section. It is a bottom view of the plane handle apparatus of FIG. It is the sectional view on the AA line of FIG. FIG. 2 is a partially longitudinal front view of the flat handle device of FIG. 1 when a dedicated rotary tool is applied to project a knob screw. FIG. 2 is a partially longitudinal front view of the flat handle device of FIG. 1 when a handle metal fitting is attached to an upper end screw portion of a closing bolt pulled out by a pick screw.
