Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a frame according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a manhole comprising a frame to be fixed in the ground and a lockable pad closing the frame.
  • the frame has an annular flat sole and a substantially cylindrical skirt.
  • the section of the sole is substantially identical over its entire circumference and therefore the frame is only weakly anchored in the sealing material.
  • the invention aims to provide a frame for a road device, especially for a manhole, which allows a better anchoring in the sealing material.
  • the invention further relates to a road device, of the type comprising a frame and a covering element, characterized in that the frame is a frame as defined above.
  • the Figure 1 shows a frame according to the invention, designated by the general reference 2.
  • the frame 2 serves to support a shutter pad 4, such as that shown in FIG. Figure 5 , the whole constituting a look of roadway.
  • the frame 2 and the pad 4 are preferably made of ductile iron.
  • the frame 2 defines a central axis XX and has a generally annular shape around this axis XX.
  • the terms “axially”, “radially” and “circumferentially” will be used with respect to this axis XX.
  • the frame 2 comprises a knuckle 6 which cooperates with a complementary knuckle 8 integral with the pad 4, allowing the opening and closing of the pad 4 by rotation around the frame.
  • the frame 2 is further provided with a housing 10 projecting radially in a region diametrically opposite the knuckle 6 of the frame.
  • This housing 10 is adapted to receive an actuating member 12 radially projecting at the periphery of the buffer 4 when the buffer is in the closed position on the frame.
  • the frame 2 has a skirt 20 and a sole 22.
  • the skirt 20 defines an outer side E , which is in the case of an upwardly facing roadway.
  • the skirt 20 has a substantially cylindrical shape about the axis XX. In this case, seen along the axis XX, the skirt 20 is substantially circular.
  • the skirt 20 has a radially inner rim 24 receiving a soundproofing ring (not shown) on which the buffer 4 in the closed position.
  • the sole 22 extends, from the inner end of the skirt 20, radially outwardly relative to the axis X-X.
  • the sole 22 has a base 26 which defines a bearing surface 28.
  • the base 26 has a thickness d , measured along the central axis XX.
  • the bearing surface 28 is substantially planar and extends perpendicularly to the axis XX. This bearing surface 28 is directed in the mounted state to an inner side I (see Figure 4 ). In the case of a manhole, the bearing surface 28 is directed to the mounted state downwards.
  • the base 26 has axially through holes 30 for anchoring the base 26 in a sealing material.
  • the sole 22 is further provided with a plurality of cells 32 which are open towards the inner side I.
  • Each cell 32 has an axial height D , or axial depth, which is greater than the thickness d of the base 26, and which is preferably greater than twice the thickness d of the base 26.
  • each cell 32 has a profile in tangential section, that is to say in radial view, inverted V-shaped, the tip being directed to the outer side E.
  • Each cell 32 thus has two inclined walls 37 which start from the base 26 and meet to form a ridge 34 directed towards the outer side E.
  • each peak 34 extends in a radial direction.
  • the tangential section of the cells may take another form, in particular in an inverted arc.
  • the radially outer side of the cell 32 is closed by a wall 35.
  • this wall 35 may be perforated.
  • each cell 32 In the inclined walls 37 of each cell 32 is formed a through axial orifice 36, which is arranged at the portion of the outermost cell 32.
  • the through orifice 36 In axial view (see Figure 3 ), the through orifice 36 has a substantially rectangular shape and extends on either side of the peak 34. These through orifices 36 facilitate the diffusion of the sealing material of the cells 32 to the outer side, which has the effect of optimizing the coating of the sole 22 in the sealing material and thus improve the anchoring of the frame 2.
  • the through orifices 36 also avoid, in the outer part of the cells, the imprisonment of air bubbles likely to hinder the penetration of the sealing material into the cells.
  • these orifices 36 also constitute gripping holes of the frame.
  • the frame 2 also has stiffening ribs 40 adjacent to the ridge 34 of each cell 32.
  • Each ridge 40 extends from the associated ridge 34 on the outer side E and narrows towards the outer edge of the skirt 20.
  • the rib 40 has the shape of a right triangle.
  • the cells 32 increase on the one hand the rigidity of the frame 2 and on the other hand allow better anchoring of the frame in the sealing material.
  • the cells 32 increase the contact area between the frame, usually made of cast iron, and the sealing material generally consisting of concrete or cement mortar, thereby reducing the contact pressure of the frame on the sealing material or on the underground structure on which the manhole is supported, particularly when the manhole is subject to significant efforts resulting from surface road traffic.
  • the cells 32 also make it possible to reduce the shearing forces of the sealing material by virtue of the presence of the latter in the cells, thus improving the anchoring of the frame .
  • the cells 32 according to the invention are raised relative to the general plane of the base 26 of the sole and thus allow interaction in space with the sealing material, thereby ensuring better anchoring.
  • the invention can be applied to other devices than manholes, and in particular to any road device comprising a frame to be fixed in a sealing material and a covering element of the type buffer or grid that is supported on the frame.
