Description

La présente invention concerne un regard de chaussée muni d'un dispositif de voirie réhaussable pouvant être utilisé pour la fermeture dudit regard de chaussée.The present invention relates to a manhole provided with an upstanding road device that can be used for closing said manhole.

La figure 1 représente un dispositif de voirie réhaussable connu portant la référence 1 et comprenant un cadre guideur 2 venant se monter sur la cheminée en béton 3 d'un regard de chaussée à obturer et un cadre guidé 4 à élément de recouvrement, non représenté, tel qu'un tampon, le cadre guidé 4 étant destiné à coopérer avec le cadre guideur 2 lors du montage du cadre 4 à élément de recouvrement sur le regard. Le dispositif de voirie 1 est réhaussable en ce que, à l'état assemblé, le cadre 4 à élément de recouvrement, qui doit affleurer sensiblement la surface de la chaussée, s'insère plus ou moins profondément dans le cadre guideur 2 en fonction de la hauteur de la réservation ou feuillure 5 dans laquelle cet ensemble est logé et retenu après avoir rempli la réservation 5 d'un enrobé.The figure 1 represents a known retractable road system bearing the reference 1 and comprising a guide frame 2 to be mounted on the concrete chimney 3 of a manhole to be closed and a guided frame 4 to cover element, not shown, such as a buffer, the guided frame 4 being intended to cooperate with the guide frame 2 during assembly of the frame 4 to cover element on the look. The road device 1 is retractable in that, in the assembled state, the frame 4 with covering element, which must be substantially flush with the surface of the roadway, fits more or less deeply into the guide frame 2 as a function of the height of the reservation or rabbet 5 in which this set is housed and retained after filling the reservation 5 of a mix.

Pour assurer ce réhaussement, les cadres 2, 4, qui ont chacun une forme générale annulaire, sont chacun dotés d'un prolongement cylindrique respectivement 6, 7 venant de matière, le prolongement 7 du cadre 4 s'étendant, à l'état assemblé, dans le prolongement 6 du cadre guideur 2.To ensure this raising, the frames 2, 4, which each have a generally annular shape, are each provided with a cylindrical extension respectively 6, 7 from the material, the extension 7 of the frame 4 extending, in the assembled state , in the extension 6 of the guide frame 2.

Ce dispositif de voirie connu a pour inconvénient de nécessiter une profondeur de réservation 5 relativement importante, habituellement d'environ 310 mm, de telle sorte qu'il ne peut être utilisé dans des réservations de moindre profondeur de cheminée, telles que de 130 mm habituellement utilisées pour recevoir un cadre unique à élément de recouvrement.This known road system has the disadvantage of requiring a relatively large depth of reservation, usually of about 310 mm, so that it can not be used in shallower chimney reservations, such as 130 mm. used to receive a single frame with a covering element.

En outre, ce dispositif de voirie réhaussable connu dont les cadres guidé et guideur sont réalisés en fonte est non seulement relativement croûteux, mais est également relativement encombrant, posant alors des problèmes de stockage.In addition, this known high-rise road system whose guided and guided frames are made of cast iron is not only relatively crusty, but is also relatively bulky, posing storage problems.

Le document WO 2006/082569 décrit un regard de chaussée comportant les caractéristiques telles qu'énoncées dans le préambule de la revendication 1.The document WO 2006/082569 discloses a manhole with the features as set forth in the preamble of claim 1.

Selon ce document antérieur, la position en hauteur du cadre dans sa réservation peut être réglée par l'intermédiaire d'un mécanisme à colonnes situées aux quatre coins du cadre entre ce dernier et des plaques de base solidaires du bord supérieur de la cheminée. Chaque colonne de réglage comprend une tige filetée verticale traversant un enrobé en béton et l'asphalte de la chaussée et un écrou tubulaire pouvant être tourné relativement à la tige filetée dans un sens ou dans l'autre suivant que l'on souhaite soulever ou abaisser le cadre à une hauteur déterminée d'affleurement avec la surface de la chaussée.According to this prior document, the height position of the frame in its reservation can be adjusted via a column mechanism located at the four corners of the frame between the latter and base plates integral with the upper edge of the chimney. Each adjustment column comprises a vertical threaded rod passing through a concrete mix and asphalt pavement and a tubular nut that can be rotated relative to the threaded rod in either direction depending on whether it is desired to raise or lower the frame at a determined height of outcropping with the surface of the roadway.

Ainsi, ce mécanisme de réglage de la position en hauteur du cadre relativement à la cheminée nécessite la présence dans la réservation des colonnes de réglage aux quatre coins du cadre, ce qui complique la procédure d'installation d'un tel mécanisme et nécessite des réglages fastidieux en hauteur des colonnes.Thus, this mechanism for adjusting the height position of the frame relative to the chimney requires the presence in the reservation of the adjustment columns at the four corners of the frame, which complicates the procedure for installing such a mechanism and requires adjustments. tedious in height of the columns.

Le document US 2003/0235467 décrit un regard de chaussée comprenant un premier élément tubulaire installé dans le sol et un second élément tubulaire de plus petit diamètre et pouvant être disposé concentriquement dans ce premier élément.The document US 2003/0235467 discloses a manhole comprising a first tubular element installed in the ground and a second tubular element of smaller diameter and concentrically arranged in the first element.

Plusieurs éléments de support d'une configuration en escalier sont prévus sur la surface interne du premier élément tubulaire et plusieurs éléments de support de configuration analogue aux éléments de support sont prévus sur la surface extérieure du second élément tubulaire. Les éléments de support des deux éléments tubulaires coopèrent entre eux de manière à permettre un réglage en hauteur du second élément tubulaire dans le premier élément tubulaire tel que la bordure supérieure du second élément tubulaire puisse être disposée en affleurement avec la surface de la chaussée.A plurality of support members of a stepped configuration are provided on the inner surface of the first tubular member and a plurality of support members of similar configuration to the support members are provided on the outer surface of the second tubular member. The support elements of the two tubular elements cooperate with each other so as to allow a height adjustment of the second tubular element in the first tubular element such as the upper edge the second tubular element can be arranged flush with the surface of the roadway.

Une telle structure à éléments tubulaires et éléments de support est relativement complexe à manipuler lors de son installation.Such a structure with tubular elements and support elements is relatively complex to handle during its installation.

La présente invention a pour but de remédier aux inconvénients ci-dessus des dispositifs de voiries connus en proposant un dispositif de voirie réhaussable qui puisse s'adapter facilement à différentes hauteurs de réservations de cheminées dans lesquelles il doit être intégré.The present invention aims to overcome the above drawbacks of known road devices by providing a retractable road device that can easily adapt to different heights of chimneys reservations in which it must be integrated.

A cet effet, selon l'invention, le regard de chaussée comprenant une cheminée pourvue d'une réservation, un cadre apte à recevoir un élément de recouvrement, tel qu'un tampon et pouvant être logé dans la réservation de la cheminée, un moyen pouvant coopérer avec le cadre pour positionner en hauteur ce dernier relativement à la cheminée de manière que le cadre affleure sensiblement la surface de la chaussée, et un enrobé pouvant être introduit et compacté dans la réservation pour maintenir le cadre dans la réservation sensiblement en affleurement avec la surface de la chaussée, est caractérisé en ce que le moyen de positionnement du cadre comprend une jupe amoviblement fixée par des moyens d'encliquetage dans une couronne du cadre et comprenant au moins deux ergots radialement externes pouvant s'encliqueter élastiquement respectivement dans deux cavités de retenue formées dans la couronne du cadre, laquelle jupe prolonge vers le bas le cadre et dont la section de la surface périphérique externe correspond à la section libre de l'ouverture de la cheminée pour permettre à la jupe de se loger dans l'ouverture de la cheminée et en ce que la jupe a une hauteur prédéterminée telle qu'une fois introduite dans l'ouverture de la cheminée, elle permet un réglage de position en hauteur du cadre relativement à la cheminée en fonction de la hauteur de la réservation.For this purpose, according to the invention, the manhole comprising a chimney provided with a reservation, a frame adapted to receive a covering element, such as a buffer and can be accommodated in the chimney reservation, a means being able to cooperate with the frame to position it in height relative to the chimney so that the frame is substantially flush with the surface of the roadway, and a mix that can be introduced and compacted in the reservation to keep the frame in the reservation substantially flush with the surface of the roadway, is characterized in that the means for positioning the frame comprises a skirt removably fixed by latching means in a ring of the frame and comprising at least two radially outer pins that can snap elastically respectively in two cavities formed in the crown of the frame, which skirt extends down the frame and whose section the outer peripheral surface corresponds to the free section of the opening of the chimney to allow the skirt to lodge in the opening of the chimney and in that the skirt has a predetermined height such that once introduced into the opening of the chimney, it allows a height adjustment of the frame relative to the chimney according to the height of the reservation.

Avantageusement, chaque ergot est constitué par une extrémité libre recourbée d'une patte élastiquement déformable découpée dans la paroi de la jupe suivant une génératrice de cette jupe.Advantageously, each lug is constituted by a curved free end of an elastically deformable tab cut in the wall of the skirt along a generatrix of this skirt.

Chaque ergot est situé à proximité du bord circulaire de la partie d'extrémité de la jupe s'engageant dans la couronne du cadre.Each lug is located near the circular edge of the end portion of the skirt engaging in the crown of the frame.

En position encastrée de la jupe dans la couronne du cadre, le bord circulaire de la jupe est en appui sur la face inférieure d'une collerette interne du cadre.In the recessed position of the skirt in the crown of the frame, the circular edge of the skirt rests on the underside of an internal collar of the frame.

La couronne comprend à son ouverture d'entrée une surface périphérique tronconique s'évasant vers le bas et permettant d'écarter élastiquement radialement à l'intérieur de la jupe les ergots lors de l'introduction de sa partie d'extrémité dans la couronne avant qu'ils puissent s'ancrer élastiquement dans les deux cavités de retenue de la couronne.The crown comprises at its inlet opening a frustoconical peripheral surface flaring downwards and allowing elastically radially away from the inside of the skirt the lugs during the introduction of its end portion into the front crown. that they can be anchored elastically in the two retaining cavities of the crown.

Chaque ergot vient élastiquement en appui sur un épaulement de retenue de la cavité en position encastrée de la jupe dans la couronne.Each lug comes resiliently supported on a shoulder retaining the cavity in the recessed position of the skirt in the crown.

A titre d'exemple, la jupe est en tôle d'acier et de forme généralement cylindrique.By way of example, the skirt is made of sheet steel and is generally cylindrical in shape.

L'invention vise également un procédé d'installation d'un regard de chaussée tel que défini précédemment et qui est caractérisé en ce qu'il consiste à introduire la jupe, amoviblement fixée au cadre par les ergots radialement externes encliquetés élastiquement respectivement dans les deux cavités de retenue de la couronne du cadre, dans l'ouverture de la cheminée, régler la position en hauteur de la jupe dans l'ouverture de la cheminée de manière que le cadre soit logé dans la réservation en étant sensiblement en affleurement avec la surface de la chaussée, et introduire et compacter un enrobé dans la réservation pour maintenir le cadre dans la réservation.The invention also relates to a method of installing a manhole as defined above and which is characterized in that it consists in introducing the skirt, removably attached to the frame by the radially outer pins snapped elastically respectively into the two. retaining cavities of the crown of the frame, in the opening of the chimney, adjust the height of the skirt in the opening of the chimney so that the frame is housed in the reservation being substantially flush with the surface of the pavement, and introduce and compact a mix in the reservation to maintain the frame in the reservation.

Lors de l'opération de réglage en hauteur de la jupe dans la cheminée pour amener le cadre en affleurement avec la surface de la chaussée, le cadre est temporairement suspendu sous deux barres parallèles reposant au sol et qui sont retirées après avoir introduit l'enrobé dans la réservation.During the operation of adjusting the height of the skirt in the chimney to bring the frame into flush with the surface of the roadway, the frame is temporarily suspended under two parallel bars resting on the ground and which are removed after introducing the asphalt in the reservation.

L'invention sera mieux comprise, et d'autres buts, caractéristiques, détails et avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront plus clairement dans la description explicative qui va suivre faite en référence aux dessins schématiques annexés donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple illustrant un mode de réalisation de l'invention et dans lesquels :

En se reportant aux figures 2 à 4, le dispositif de voirie réhaussable 10 d'un regard de chausée conforme à l'invention comprend un cadre 11 destiné à recevoir un élément de recouvrement, non représenté, tel qu'un tampon ou couvercle, et destiné, par exemple, à venir se monter sur la cheminée en béton 12 d'un regard de chaussée à obturer. A l'état assemblé du cadre 11 dans la réservation ou feuillure 13 de la cheminée 12, le cadre 11 et son élément de recouvrement affleurement sensiblement la surface de la chaussée.Referring to Figures 2 to 4 , the retractable road device 10 of a roadway according to the invention comprises a frame 11 intended to receive a covering element, not shown, such as a buffer or cover, and intended, for example, to come climb on the concrete chimney 12 with a manhole to close. In the assembled state of the frame 11 in the reservation or rabbet 13 of the chimney 12, the frame 11 and its covering element substantially flush the surface of the roadway.

Le cadre 11 présente une hauteur relativement faible, par exemple d'environ 100 mm et peut être logé dans une réservation 13 d'une profondeur allant d'environ 120 mm à 230 mm comme on le verra ultérieurement.The frame 11 has a relatively low height, for example about 100 mm and can be housed in a reservation 13 with a depth of about 120 mm to 230 mm as will be seen later.

Le cadre 11 est monté sur une jupe sensiblement cylindrique 14 rapportée amoviblement au cadre par encliquetage dans une couronne 15 de manière que la jupe 14 prolonge vers le bas le cadre 11 coaxialement à celui-ci.The frame 11 is mounted on a substantially cylindrical skirt 14 removably attached to the frame by snapping into a ring 15 so that the skirt 14 extends downwardly the frame 11 coaxially with it.

A cet effet, la jupe 14 comprend dans le cas présent quatre ergots radialement externes 16 pouvant s'encliqueter élastiquement respectivement dans quatre cavités de retenue 17 formées intérieurement dans la couronne 15 du cadre 11.For this purpose, the skirt 14 comprises in the present case four radially outer pins 16 which can snap elastically respectively into four retaining cavities 17 formed internally in the ring 15 of the frame 11.

Chaque partie 18 est élastiquement déformable en direction radiale à la jupe 14.Each lug 16 may be constituted by a free end curved with a lug 18 cut in the wall of the skirt along a generatrix thereof, the lug 16 being located near the circular edge of the end portion of the skirt 14 engaging in the ring 15 of the frame 11. Each portion 18 is elastically deformable radially to the skirt 14.

La couronne 15 du cadre 11 comprend à son ouverture d'entrée dirigée vers le bas du cadre une surface périphérique tronconique 15a s'évasant vers le bs du cadre et permettant d'écarter élastiquement radialement à l'intérieur de la jupe 14 les ergots 16 lors de l'introduction de la partie d'extrémité correspondante de la jupe 14 dans la couronne 15 avant que ces ergots 16 puissent s'ancrer élastiquement dans les cavités de retenue respectives 17 de la couronne 15.The ring 15 of the frame 11 comprises at its entry opening directed towards the bottom of the frame a frustoconical peripheral surface 15a flaring towards the bs of the frame and allowing elastically radially to be withdrawn inside the skirt 14 the lugs 16 during the introduction of the corresponding end portion of the skirt 14 in the ring 15 before these pins 16 can be anchored elastically in the respective holding cavities 17 of the ring 15.

En position encastrée de la jupe 14 dans la couronne 15, l'extrémité recourbée de chaque ergot 16 est élastiquement en appui sur un épaulement ou rebord de retenue 17a délimitant la partie inférieure de la cavité 17. En outre, le bord circulaire de la jupe 14 situé à proximité des ergots 16 est en appui sur la face inférieure 19a d'une collerette interne 19 du cadre 11, cette face étant opposée au rebord 17a pour délimiter circonférentiellement avec cette dernière la cavité 17.In the recessed position of the skirt 14 in the ring 15, the bent end of each lug 16 is resiliently supported on a shoulder or retaining lip 17a delimiting the lower part of the cavity 17. In addition, the circular edge of the skirt 14 located near the lugs 16 bears on the lower face 19a of an inner collar 19 of the frame 11, this face being opposite the flange 17a to circumferentially delimit the cavity 17 therewith.

La jupe 14 a sa surface périphérique externe ayant une section correspondant à la section libre de l'ouverture de la cheminée pour permettre à la jupe 14 de se loger dans cette ouverture à une position relative à la cheminée.The skirt 14 has its outer peripheral surface having a section corresponding to the free section of the opening of the chimney to allow the skirt 14 to be housed in this opening at a position relative to the chimney.

A titre d'exemple, le diamètre d de l'ouverture de la cheminée 12 peut être d'environ 615 mm et le diamètre extérieur de la jupe 14 peut être alors d'environ 608 mm.For example, the diameter d of the opening of the chimney 12 may be about 615 mm and the outer diameter of the skirt 14 may then be about 608 mm.

En tout cas, la jupe 14 présente une hauteur prédéterminée telle qu'une fois introduite dans l'ouverture de la chemise 12, elle permet un réglage de position en hauteur du cadre 11 relativement à la cheminée en fonction de la hauteur de la réservation 13. A titre d'exemple, pour des réservations d'une hauteur allant de 120 mm à 230 mm, une jupe 14 d'une hauteur d'environ 140 mm permet un réglage en position du cadre 11 dans la réservation 13 pour des hauteurs de réservation 13 dans la gamme qui vient d'être définie. Avantageusement, la jupe 14 est réalisée à partir d'une tôle d'acier.In any case, the skirt 14 has a predetermined height such that once introduced into the opening of the sleeve 12, it allows a height adjustment of the frame 11 relative to the chimney according to the height of the reservation 13 By way of example, for reservations of a height ranging from 120 mm to 230 mm, a skirt 14 with a height of approximately 140 mm allows a positional adjustment of the frame 11 in the reservation 13 for heights of reservation 13 in the range that has just been defined. Advantageously, the skirt 14 is made from a steel sheet.

Le montage de la jupe 14 au cadre 11 est très simple puisqu'il suffit de retourner le cadre 11 en appui sur le sol de manière qu'il présente sa couronne 15 dirigée vers le haut et, après positionnement angulaire de la jupe 14 relativement à la couronne 15, d'enfoncer la jupe 14 dans la couronne 15 de manière que les extrémités libres des ergots 16 soient écartées élastiquement radialement vers l'intérieur de la jupe 14 par la surface tronconique 15a jusqu'à ce que les ergots 16 s'engagent élastiquement respectivement dans les cavités de retenue 17. Ensuite, l'utilisateur retourne l'ensemble cadre 11 et jupe 14 pour introduire cette dernière dans l'ouverture de la cheminée de visite 12 pour la régler à sa position relative telle que le cadre et son élément de couronnement soit logés dans la réservation 13 sensiblement en affleurement avec la surface de la chaussée. A cet effet, le cadre 11 pourvu de la jupe 14 est temporairement attaché de façon suspendue sous deux barres parallèles 20 (représentées en traits mixtes en figure 2) reposant au sol pour maintenir de façon centrée l'ensemble à cadre 11, élément de couronnement et jupe 14 dans la réservation 13 et à un niveau tel que le cadre 11 et son élément de couronnement soient sensiblement en affleurement avec la surface de la chaussée, cette technique de suspension étant connue en soi. Bien entendu, le cadre 11 et son élément de couronnement est ensuite maintenu dans la réservation 13 par un enrobé introduit dans la réservation et compacté selon la technique habituelle après avoir retiré les deux barres de suspension. Il est à noter que la jupe 14 empêche l'enrobé de tomber dans l'ouverture de la cheminée de visite 12.The mounting of the skirt 14 to the frame 11 is very simple since it suffices to turn the frame 11 on the ground so that it has its crown 15 directed upwards and, after angular positioning of the skirt 14 relative to the ring 15, to push the skirt 14 into the ring 15 so that the free ends of the lugs 16 are spaced elastically radially inwardly of the skirt 14 by the frustoconical surface 15a until that the lugs 16 engage elastically respectively in the holding cavities 17. Then, the user returns the frame assembly 11 and skirt 14 to introduce the latter into the opening of the inspection chimney 12 to adjust it to its position relative such that the frame and its cap member is housed in the reservation 13 substantially flush with the surface of the roadway. For this purpose, the frame 11 provided with the skirt 14 is temporarily suspended in two parallel bars 20 (shown in phantom in figure 2 ) resting on the ground to centrally maintain the frame assembly 11, crown member and skirt 14 in the reservation 13 and at a level such that the frame 11 and its crown member are substantially flush with the surface of the roadway this suspension technique being known per se. Of course, the frame 11 and its cap element is then held in the reservation 13 by a mix introduced into the reservation and compacted according to the usual technique after removing the two suspension bars. It should be noted that the skirt 14 prevents the mix from falling into the opening of the chimney 12.

La jupe 14 peut comporter un nombre d'ergots 16 différent de quatre, au moins deux ergots 16 diamétralement opposés pouvant suffire pour retenir la jupe 14 dans la couronne 15 du cadre 11. En outre, la figure 4 montre que les quatre ergots 16 sont disposés symétriquement par rapport à un plan médian longitudinal 14 de la jupe avec deux des ergots 16 plus proches de ce plan que les deux autres. Bien entendu, les quatre ergots 16 peuvent tout simplement être régulièrement espacés autour de la jupe 14. Bien qu'en principe la jupe 14 reste fixée à demeure au cadre 11, elle peut être retirée de ce cadre en désengageant les ergots 16 de leurs cavités de retenue respectives 17 pour, par exemple, la remplacer par une autre jupe en meilleur état.The skirt 14 may comprise a number of lugs 16 different from four, at least two lugs 16 diametrically opposed being sufficient to retain the skirt 14 in the crown 15 of the frame 11. In addition, the figure 4 shows that the four lugs 16 are arranged symmetrically with respect to a longitudinal median plane 14 of the skirt with two lugs 16 closer to this plane than the other two. Of course, the four lugs 16 can simply be regularly spaced around the skirt 14. Although in principle the skirt 14 remains fixed to the frame 11, it can be removed from this frame by disengaging the pins 16 from their respective holding cavities 17 to, for example, replace it with a other skirt in better condition.

Le dispositif du regard de chaussée de l'invention peut être utilisé pour remplacer un dispositif de voirie différent monté dans une réservation d'une cheminée préexistante sans avoir à casser le béton de cette cheminée pour adapter la réservation au dispositif du regard de chaussée de l'invention puisqu'il s'adapte de lui-même à toute réservation quelle que soit sa hauteur. En outre, la jupe peut avoir une section autre que circulaire, par exemple rectangulaire, ou présenter une forme tronconique.The device of the pavement of the invention can be used to replace a different road device mounted in a reservation of a pre-existing chimney without having to break the concrete of this chimney to adapt the reservation to the device of the roadway of the road. invention since it adapts itself to any reservation regardless of its height. In addition, the skirt may have a section other than circular, for example rectangular, or have a frustoconical shape.
