Definitions

  • the present invention concerns a cover means.
  • the cover means is intended for use at frames for cable entries, pipe penetrations etc.
  • the pipe penetrations, cable entries etc. often have the form of modules used together with one or more compression means, to give a tight sealing.
  • Larger frames are often divided into several smaller compartments, in which each compartment comprises at least one compression means.
  • One principle for this invention is to be able to block or cover relatively large areas of a frame for cable entries, pipe penetrations etc. Cover means of this type are often used to block a complete compartment of the frame.
  • cover means enhances the flexibility of the frame. If a cover means, e.g. according to the present invention, is not used a retrofit of cables, pipes etc. would only be possible with laborious efforts. In such a case possibly a new, larger frame has to be mounted demanding an increased space.
  • a cover means to be received in a frame for pipe penetrations, cable entries etc. is furnished.
  • the cover means comprises a plate. It further comprises locking means and sealing means.
  • cover means The design and material of the plate, locking means and sealing means forming the cover means may vary, depending on demands and requirements in each specific case. Furthermore, the cover means may include further parts, such as fire insulation.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a part of a cover means according to the present invention
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a further part of a cover means according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of still a further part of a cover means according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 4 is an end view of a cover means according to the present invention and including the parts of the previous Figs.;
  • FIG. 5 is a cross sectional view of the cover means of FIG. 4 mounted in a frame
  • FIG. 6 is a plan view of the cover means and frame of FIG. 5 ;
  • FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a further embodiment for a cover means according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 8 is a cross sectional view of the cover means of FIG. 7 ;
  • FIG. 9 is a perspective view of yet an embodiment for a cover means according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 10 is a perspective view of a variant of the embodiment of FIG. 9 .
  • a plate 1 is shown forming the base for a cover means according to the present invention.
  • the plate 1 has a rectangular shape.
  • the plate 1 has other shapes, depending on the intended use.
  • the plate may be square, triangular or any other polygonal shape and it may also be round or having rounded parts.
  • Two L-shaped flanges are formed along the long sides of the plate 1 .
  • Each flange comprises a horizontal part 2 and a vertical part 3 .
  • the terms “horizontal”, “vertical” and similar expressions are in relation to the plate 1 , in the position as shown in FIG. 1 .
  • “horizontal” could also be expressed as parallel with the plate 1 and “vertical” as perpendicular to the plate 1 .
  • the plate 1 may have any orientation.
  • each horizontal part 2 of the flange is directed towards the long sides of the plate 1 .
  • the outer free edge of each horizontal part 2 of each flange is positioned in a vertical plane inside the edge of the adjacent long side of the plate 1 .
  • the short ends of the horizontal part 2 are positioned in a vertical plane inside the edge of the adjacent short side of the plate 1 .
  • the distances between the free ends of the horizontal parts 2 of the flanges and the adjacent sides of the plate 1 are relatively small. Said distances should be large enough to admit proper mounting but at the same time hinder the plate 1 from moving too much in a horizontal plane.
  • any parts giving the same function may replace the L-shaped flanges.
  • the flanges are formed of bars having a cross section being rectangular, circular, polygonal etc.
  • the guiding means may also be studs, pins, pegs, taps etc. placed at the corners of the plate 1 .
  • the guiding means may also be a combination of the above.
  • edges of the vertical part 3 of the flanges are inclined.
  • the inclination is directed towards the centre of the plate 1 in the downward direction, i.e. the dimension of each vertical part 3 is larger at the horizontal part 2 than at the plate 1 .
  • An opening 13 is arranged at the area of one inclination of one of the vertical parts 3 of the flange.
  • the opening 13 is arranged to facilitate the handling and treatment of the plate 1 , and has nothing to do with the covering function of the plate 1 .
  • a bolt connection 4 is arranged.
  • the bolt connection 4 is arranged on the same side of the plate 1 as the flanges.
  • the bolt connection 4 has a tubular form and is furnished with an inner thread.
  • the inner thread of the bolt connection 4 is to receive and co-operate with a thread of a bolt 9 .
  • both the flanges and the bolt connection 4 are fixed to the plate 1 by means of welds.
  • the flanges and the bolt connection 9 may be attached to the plate 1 in any suitable way using soldering, glue, etc.
  • the flanges and/or the bolt connection 9 may be integrated parts of the plate 1 .
  • sealing means 5 is arranged at the outer periphery of the plate 1 .
  • the sealing means 5 is arranged on the same side of the plate 1 as the flanges 2 , 3 and the bolt connection 4 , and goes all the way around the plate 1 . If an EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) protection is needed the sealing means 5 is made of a conductive material, such as conductive rubber.
  • the cover means according to the present invention comprises a locking element having an L-form.
  • the locking element has one part 7 , being vertical as shown in FIG. 3 and another part 8 , being horizontal as shown in FIG. 3 .
  • the vertical part 7 is somewhat shorter than the horizontal part 8 .
  • the horizontal part 8 has a projecting free end 12 at each end.
  • An opening 6 is formed in the middle of the horizontal part 8 , which opening 6 is to receive the bolt 9 also received in the bolt connection 4 of the plate 1 .
  • a person skilled in the art realises that the exact form of the locking element may vary. The only restriction being that it should give a sufficient locking effect.
  • the cover means is to be received in a frame, normally being more or less rectangular.
  • the frame has two long sides 10 and two short sides 11 .
  • the flanges 2 , 3 of the plate 1 are to guide the plate 1 in the frame. Furthermore, the flanges 2 , 3 hinder the plate 1 from being slid so far sideways that it may fall down through the frame 10 , 11 .
  • the form of the flanges or other guiding means may vary as long as they fulfil the requested function.
  • the cover means is mounted in a frame 10 , 11 .
  • the plate 1 is first placed covering an opening of the frame.
  • the plate 1 should be big enough to cover the opening of the frame and the flanges 2 , 3 of the plate 1 should fit inside the frame.
  • the distances between the free ends of the horizontal parts 2 of the flanges and the sides 10 , 11 of the frame should be small enough to guarantee the proper positioning of the plate 1 .
  • the sealing means 5 is placed on top of the sides 10 , 11 of the frame, to form a sealing means at mounting.
  • the locking element is placed on the opposite side of the frame, with the projecting free ends 12 of the horizontal part 8 resting on top of the long sides 10 of the frame.
  • the locking element is placed in such a position that the opening 13 of the locking element is placed in line with the bolt connection 4 of the plate 1 .
  • the bolt 9 is brought down through the opening 13 of the locking element and into the bolt connection 4 of the plate 1 .
  • the bolt 9 is then tightened to give a stable and sealed mounting of the cover means to the frame.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 a further embodiment of the invention is shown. Only the parts that differ from the previous embodiments will be discussed here.
  • This embodiment is fire insulated in that a layer of fire insulation 15 is placed on the inside of a plate 14 .
  • the locking means comprises a wing nut 16 and a bolt 17 .
  • the bolt 17 replacing the bolt connection 4 of the previous embodiments, is fixed to or integrated with the plate 14 .
  • the wing nut 16 is received in a threaded connection on the bolt 17 .
  • the wing nut 16 is only shown as one example, the nut may have many different designs. Irrespective of if a bolt connection 4 or a bolt 17 fixed to the plate 14 are used similar fixation principles applies.
  • the layer of fire insulation 15 is fixed to the inside of the plate 14 or rather the horizontal parts 2 of the flanges by gluing or the like. However, it is also possible to just hold the layer of fire insulation 15 in place between the plate 14 and the locking element 7 , 8 without any fixation.
  • the fire insulation 15 may be made of any fire insulating material.
  • FIGS. 9 and 10 two further and related embodiments are shown. Also here only the parts differing from previous embodiments will be discussed.
  • the plates are ventilated plates 18 , 19 , having two parts of slats 20 partly covering openings giving ventilation. Extra ventilation is beneficial in many cases.
  • the difference between the two embodiments shown is that in one embodiment ( FIG. 9 ) the two parts of slats 20 are placed one above the other, while in the other embodiment ( FIG. 10 ) the parts of slats 20 are placed side by side.
  • the number and form of the parts of slats 20 may vary further between different embodiments.
