Definitions

  • Manholes are used to access underground installations such as sewers, water pipes, gas pipes, electric and fiber optic cables etc.
  • a manhole typically comprises a vertical access shaft or riser pipe extending between for example a road surface and an underground sewer pipe, a frame for mounting to the end of the riser pipe opposite the sewer pipe, and a cover for installation within the frame.
  • the cover serves the dual purposes of providing a surface on which for example a vehicle may drive, or a pedestrian may walk, as well as preventing water or debris from entering the manhole, potentially damaging the underground installation.
  • the cover For reasons of security, especially traffic security, the cover must not be displaced from the frame. It is a known problem that vibrations from heavy trucks, as well as the pressure fluctuations above the manhole caused by a heavy truck or trailer passing the manhole in the road, may lead to the cover being removed from the frame. Further, if the manhole provides an access way to a sewer, the overflow of water in the sewer due to heavy rainfall or the like may lift the cover out of the frame as the water escapes through the manhole out on the street. Yet a possible scenario is when a member of the general public removes a cover out of curiosity, or with malicious intent.
  • An open manhole i.e. with the cover removed, represents a high risk of injury to both vehicles and pedestrians.
  • a special tool or a key to a lock in the manhole, may need to be used to remove the cover.
  • Locking devices for covers for manholes are described in amongst others EP2050880 , EP1621679 , EP1249543 , EP856611 and US5324135 .
  • manholes comprising soundproofing gaskets having some degree of anti-lifting properties are described in amongst others GB2102479 and FR2661437 .
  • covers and frames are mechanically complex and therefore both expensive and prone to failure if maintenance is not performed regularly.
  • material used for covers and frames is typically cast iron, which, due to process parameters such as the wear state of the mould used for casting, may result in covers having dimensions deviating slightly from specifications.
  • Fitting a mechanical locking device to such a cover requires expensive testing to ensure a locking function.
  • these gaskets being mounted to the cover or frame in the manner of a tyre by rolling, may roll off or slip as increasing force is applied to the cover to remove the cover from the frame and thus can only provide a limited locking efficiency.
  • An object of the present invention is to simplify the locking of a cover to a frame.
  • a manhole closure comprising a cover and a corresponding frame for receiving the cover, wherein a gasket is placed between the cover and the frame along at least a part of the contact area between the cover and the frame, whereby the gasket exceeds the dimensions of the space between the cover and the frame.
  • the frame may have a circular, an elliptic, a square, a rectangular or a polygonal shape, and have an inside diameter in the range of 100 - 1500 mm.
  • the frame may be manufactured from cast concrete, cast iron or fiber reinforced plastics, but cast iron is preferred.
  • the cover may be manufactured from the same materials as the frame or the frame and cover may be manufactured from different materials.
  • the gasket may be attached to the cover through molding.
  • the molding process may comprise placing the cover in a mold where the void between the cover and the mold defines the shape of the gasket, supplying the gasket material as a melt, for example a melted thermoplastic material, or as a curable material, for example a curable thermosetting polymer such as rubber, and solidifying the gasket material by cooling the mold for a thermoplastic material, or by heating or supplying a chemical initiator for a thermosetting polymer, to form a gasket which is attached to the cover.
  • the surface of the cover may be treated to increase the strength of the union between cover and gasket material.
  • the.gasket By attaching the gasket to the cover through molding the.gasket is firmly attached to the cover.
  • the gasket is prevented from slipping of the cover and the strength of the locking function depends only on the strength of the interaction between the gasket and the frame as will be described in greater detail below.
  • a further advantage of attaching the gasket to the cover through molding is that a gasket molded to the cover may compensate for deviations in the dimensions of the cover, thus ensuring a good fit of the cover to the frame.
  • the gasket may comprise a non-elastic hard material.
  • non-elastic hard materials may be used for the gasket, which materials have the advantage that a very strong locking function is achieved due to the strong forces needed for deformation of the gasket.
  • Possible non-elastic hard materials include Teflon, Polypropylene, and Polycarbonate etc, optionally reinforced by fibers such as glass fiber or carbon fiber. In applications where weaker locking functions are permissible also softer, more elastic materials such as rubber, may be used. It is contemplated that gaskets comprising these softer more elastic gaskets may be firmly attached to the cover through molding,
  • the gasket may comprise an enlarged lip exceeding the dimensions of the space between the cover and the frame.
  • the enlarged lip gives the locking function of the manhole closure according to the first aspect of the present invention. By increasing the size of the enlarged lip the strength of the locking function may be increased and vice versa.
  • the space between the cover and the frame may comprise an enlargement at a position corresponding to the enlarged lip of the gasket.
  • the size of the enlargement may be varied to modify the strength of the locking function without increasing the force needed to close the manhole closure according to the first aspect of the present invention, i.e. the force needed to insert the cover with attached gasket into the frame.
  • the enlarged lip When the frame has received the cover, the enlarged lip is positioned at the enlargement of the space between the cover and the frame. This achieves a locking function as the removal, i.e. the lifting, of the cover out of the frame, causes the enlarged lip to leave the position at the enlargement of the space between the cover and the frame.
  • the gasket may comprise a first side attached to the cover, a second side to engage the frame, a flange connected to the first and second side, the flange comprising an upper side to provide a seal against the cover, and a lower side to provide a seal against the frame, and an enlarged lip, provided on the second side opposite the flange, to be positioned at an enlargement within the space between the cover and the frame.
  • the flange may be attached to the cover, for example when the gasket is attached by molding to the cover.
  • the second side may be treated to increase friction, but may also in some cases be treated to decrease friction, for example by oil or the like. This may be advantageous to lessen the friction during insertion of the cover in the frame.
  • the size and shape of the enlarged lip may, in combination with the material used in the gasket, be varied to achieve varying locking functions and strengths.
  • An increased volume of the enlarged lip may increase the force needed to remove the cover from the frame. This is preferred when the cover should be able to resist strong forces such as the water pressure in a manhole connected to a flooded sewer.
  • a decreased volume of the enlarged lip may result in a lower force needed for removing the cover from the frame, and may be preferred for covers which need to be removed more often, or are not exposed to harsh conditions such as heavy traffic etc.
  • the enlarged lip may further be surface treated to alter the friction between the enlarged lip and the frame to modulate the strength of the locking function. By providing the lip with a barb or catch engaging the frame, an even stronger locking function may be achieved.
  • the gasket may further comprise a contact part comprising a frame side to form contact to the frame, a cover side attached to the cover, and a compartment open to the outer surface of the contact member, the compartment being provided between the manhole side and the cover side, whereby the contact member extends from the upper side of the flange and the enlarged lip extends from the lower side of the flange.
  • a contact part By further-comprising a contact part, the gasket is placed along a larger part of the contact area between the cover and the frame, thus decreasing the wear on the gasket due to movements of the cover as vehicles drive on the cover, also clanking or noise is prevented as the cover and the frame are further isolated from each other.
  • a method for closing a manhole comprising the steps of providing a manhole closure according to the first aspect of the present invention, forcing the cover, having attached thereto the gasket, into the frame, whereby the enlarged lip is initially deformed and regains a non-deformed state upon reaching a position at the enlargement of the space between the cover and the frame.
  • the enlarged lip When the gasket is made out of non-elastic hard materials, the enlarged lip may be deformed by bending or biasing.
  • a compartment open to the outer surface of the gasket between the first and second side adjacent the lip, may be provided to allow the enlarged lip to be bent towards the first side of the gasket.
  • the size of the compartment further modulates the force needed for bending the enlarged lip and thereby the strength of the locking function.
  • a larger compartment decreases the strength of the locking function while a smaller compartment increases the strength of the locking function.
  • the enlarged lip may typically be compressed or stretched as the cover is forced into the frame.
  • a method of opening a manhole comprising the steps of providing a manhole closure according to the first aspect of the present invention, grasping the cover, and lifting the cover out of the frame whereby the enlarged lip is deformed upon leaving a position at the enlargement of the space between the cover and the frame.
  • the lifting or removal force needed to remove the cover from the frame is the force needed to overcome the locking function.
  • the gasket may be permanently deformed as the cover is removed from the frame, or may regain its non-deformed state and be reused when the cover is reinstalled in the frame.
  • the strength of the locking function, and thereby the force needed to open the manhole is sufficiently large so that opening of the manhole requires special tools such as a lifting device or crane, or at least requires a crowbar, spud bar or the like.
  • An advantage of the manhole closure according to the first aspect of the present invention is that the lifespan of the locking function is long since no moving parts are required, thus the manhole closure requires no, or very little, maintenance.
  • the manhole closure according to the first aspect of the present invention has the further advantage that it prevents the removal of the cover from the frame due to impacts on the cover from vehicles driving onto the cover or the force of rising water in the manhole during flooding.
  • a further advantage of the manhole closure according to the first aspect of the present invention is that the gasket may serve to reduce noise or clanking, by preventing metallic contact between the frame and the cover and by preventing motion of the cover, when the cover is subjected to loads or impacts from vehicles driving on or near the cover.
  • An advantage of the manhole closure according to the first aspect of the present invention is that the strength of the locking function may be widely varied by varying the material used in the gasket and the shape of the gasket. Thus the strength of the locking function may be customized to specific demands faced by the manhole.
  • the non-elastic hard materials used for the gasket creates a strong locking function, thus no prior art mechanical locking devices are needed to secure the cover in the frame.
  • the method of closing a manhole according to the second aspect of the present invention simplifies the closing of a manhole.
  • By attaching the gasket through molding to the cover the handling of separate parts is reduced and the process of closing a manhole becomes less time consuming.
  • the low cost of the materials used in the gasket further gives a manhole closure at a lower cost than previously known mechanical devices.
  • the method of opening a manhole according to the third aspect of the present invention is simple, for workmen having access to general tools such as lifting devices or a crane, a crowbar or a spud bar, but is difficult to perform for a member of the general public not having access to appropriate tools.
  • a mechanical locking device for example as described in the cited prior art, may be added to the manhole closure according to the first aspect of the present invention.
  • Fig. 1a shows a gasket, in its whole designated the reference numeral 10, in a first embodiment of a manhole closure according to the present invention.

  • a compartment designated the reference numeral 20, the compartment being open to the outside of the gasket 10.
  • the compartment 20 may serve to accommodate the enlarged lip 18 as it is deformed as will be described in more detail in connection with Fig. 3 .
  • the compartment 20 may be omitted as is shown in fig 1b .
  • the compartment 20 may be omitted where the material used for the gasket has sufficient elasticity or flexibility to admit the enlarged lip 18 to be compressed towards the first side 12.
  • Fig. 2 shows the gasket 10 attached to a cover, in its whole designated the reference numeral 50, in a first embodiment of a manhole closure according to the present invention.
  • the cover 50 comprises a cover surface designated the reference numeral 52, an edge, designated the reference numeral 54, a flange, designated the reference numeral 56, and a skirt, designated the reference numeral 58.
  • the gasket 10 is attached to the cover 50 along the first side 12 and the skirt 58, and the upper side 22 of the flange 16 and the flange 56 of the cover 50.
  • Fig. 3 shows cover 50 locked in a frame, in its whole designated the reference numeral 100, through the gasket 10, in a first embodiment of the manhole closure of the present invention.
  • the frame 100 comprises a skirt, designated the reference numeral 102, a lip, designated the reference numeral 104, a supporting surface designated the reference numeral 106, an aperture wall, designated the reference numeral 108, an enlargement, designated the reference numeral 110, and a bore, designated the reference numeral 112.
  • a locking function is achieved through the interaction of enlarged lip 18 of gasket 10 when positioned within enlargement 110 of the frame 100. Removal of the cover 50 from the frame 100 is prevented as this would result in the enlarged lip 18 being forced to leave the enlargement 110, and to become deformed when entering the bore 112
  • gasket 10 may serve to achieve a - seal through-the provision of the flange 16 between flange 56 of the cover and the supporting surface 106.
  • the seal may prevent water or debris from entering the manhole.
  • the enlarged lip 18 of gasket 10 is deformed towards, and into, compartment 20 as the enlarged lip 18 passes through the bore 112 of the frame 100.
  • the expanded lip regains its non-deformed state as it reaches the enlargement 110, thus providing a locking function against removal of cover 50 from frame 100.
  • the material of the gasket 10 must allow the expanded lip 18 to be deformed by compression during the insertion, and to regain its non-deformed state as it reaches the enlargement 110.
