Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to manholes.
- a known manhole as partially shown in FIGS. 1 to 3 comprises a frame 1 intended to be sealed in the roadway and comprising a peripheral wall 2 delimiting an internal opening for access to a manhole made in the roadway and an element 3, such as a cover or pad or a grid, connected to the peripheral wall 2 of the frame 1 via a hinge device 4.
- the articulation device 4 allows the cap member 3 to pivot between a frame closure position 1 shown in FIG. 1 and an open position of this frame to which the cap element 3 is erected approximately vertically or inclined outwardly as shown in Figures 2 and 3 to allow an intervening person to access the manhole through the opening of the frame 1.
- the hinge device 4 comprises a hinge head constituted in this case by a substantially cylindrical drum 5 secured to the cap element 3 externally to the latter by means of a pin 6.

- the crowning element 5 comprises an upper planar veil 7 and a peripheral rim 8 protruding from the internal face of the veil 7 and able to bear against the base flange 4 of the frame 1 when the crowning element 5 occupies its closed position of the frame 1 as shown in Figures 9 and 10.
- the hinge device 6 comprises a hinge head constituted in this embodiment by a substantially cylindrical barrel 9, in this case with a substantially cam-shaped cross section, secured to the crown element 5, preferably by intermediate of a post 10 configuring the barrel assembly 9 and ten tee T.
- This assembly projects radially outwardly and peripherally of the peripheral edge 8 of the cap element 5 being located substantially in a plane parallel to the plane of the veil 7 of the crowning element 5.
- the hinge pin 9 is recessed removably in a housing 11 arranged in a lug 12 integral with the peripheral wall 3 of the frame 1 outside thereof.
- the lug 12 has the general shape of a clevis with side walls 13 integral with the side wall 3 of the frame 1 substantially perpendicular thereto and core wall 14 connected to the two side walls 13.
- the hinge pin 9 is mounted for limited rotation in the housing 11 of the clevis lug 12 between its two open and closed positions of the frame 1.
- the housing 11 of the ear 12 comprises in the vicinity of the two side walls 13 two arcuate segments 15, only one of which is visible, serving as support bearings respectively of the two ends of the hinge shaft 9.
- the hinge shaft 9 is not supported in the housing 11 of the lug 12 by a cylindrical axis of pivoting passing through the side walls 13 of the lug 12 and the shank 9, that is to say that the drum 9 is mounted freely pivoting in the ear 12.
- the cap member 5 can be removed from the housing 11 of the ear 12 of the frame 1 when it occupies its upright standing position.
- the peripheral wall 3 of the frame 1 has an opening 16 communicating with the housing 11 of the lug 12 and through which the post 10 of the cap element 5 can freely move during pivoting by the articulation shank 9. of the crown element 5 between its two open and closed positions of the frame 1.
- the length of the opening 16 along the peripheral wall 3 of the frame is less than the length of the core wall 14 of the lug 12 so that the two lateral edges 3a of the wall 3 delimiting the opening 16 are connected in the upper part to the two side walls 13 of the ear 12 by two upper walls 17 whose upper face is located in the same plane as the upper faces of the walls 13, 14 of the ear 12 delimiting the upper edges of the ear 12.

- the cap element 5 which can have a diameter of at least 800 mm, and therefore the relatively high weight of this element, the latter can easily accidentally tilt in its plane containing the veil. for various reasons, for example when subjected to a relatively strong wind.
- Figures 15 and 16 show the clockwise and counterclockwise tilting of the crown element 5 symbolized by Figures F1 and F2 and which is counteracted by the gusset 19 housed in the slots 18, 20 of the articulation shaft 9 and the tenon 10.
- the hinge pin 9 tends to rock out of the housing 11 in its longitudinal median plane to the position shown in FIG. 15 or 16, at which the tilting is prevented or stopped by the gusset 19 on the two opposite sides of which the diagonally opposite parts rest against each other; parallel faces delimiting the slots 18, 20, thereby preventing the barrel from coming out of the housing 11.
- the hinge pin 9 may not be integral with the cap member 5 through the pin 10, but to be integral directly to this element by arranging the ear 12 in the frame 1, c that is to say by securing it to the inner face of the peripheral wall 9 of the frame 1.
- the slot 18 of the hinge pin 9 can be made to separate the barrel 9 into two parts 9a of lengths different.
- the means for t tilting the crown member 5 relative to the frame 1 could include two gussets 19 fixed in the housing 11 of the lug ear 12 being arranged symmetrically to the median plane of the wall forming core 14 of the lug 12 and perpendicular to this wall and which respectively cooperate with two parallel slots of the hinge shaft 9 extending transversely thereto, the two parallel slots of the lug 10 extending the two slots of the barrel 9 so that the two gussets are engaged in these slots at the upright position of the cap member 5 to prevent accidental tilting out of the frame 1.
- the hinge device of the invention thus effectively prevents tilting of the cap element in its own plane outside the frame 1 and without hindering the normal pivoting of the cap element between its two open positions. and closing the frame 1.
- the invention has been described in application to a frame look and crown element circular, but it is also understood that it may be applied to a rectangular-looking manhole and rectangular (s) or triangular crown (s) element (s) hinged (s) to the frame so removable, that is to say without being mounted (s) pivoting on a cylindrical retaining axis.
- the hinge head may take any form other than that of a substantially cylindrical barrel.
- the hinge head may have a shape as described and shown in French patent FR 2 758 836 and which extends in a longitudinal direction perpendicular to a radial pin connecting the head to the circular buffer.
- This head has an arcuate face allowing it to pivot in the manner of a ball in the housing specially arranged in the frame.
- the hinge head is housed removably in the lug of the cover and has the transverse slot cooperating with the projecting portion to prevent tilting in its longitudinal median plane of the head and, therefore, buffer in its own plane, as described in the previous embodiment with hinge pin.
