A large-diameter shaft hole 17 and a small-diameter shaft hole 18 are provided in the main body 1 so as to communicate from the upper part to the lower part of the center part, and a diametrical groove 14 is provided in the outer peripheral surface part 13. At the upper part of the main shaft 2 fitted into the large-diameter shaft hole 17 of the main body 1, there is provided a passive end 19 to which the driving end 24 of the operation handle 23 is disengaged, and on the lower side of the passive end 19. Is provided with a retaining flange 20 having a larger diameter than the small-diameter shaft hole 18. On the lower side of the retaining flange 20, a male screw rod 21 inserted into the small diameter shaft hole 18 is provided. The tightening nut 3 is screwed into the male screw rod 21 of the main shaft 2. A fixing claw 9 that passes through an escape hole 8 connected to the keyhole 7 and comes into contact with and separates from the lower surface of the manhole cover 6 is formed to protrude above the nut 3. A forward rotation regulating surface 15 against which the fixing claw 9 contacts when the main shaft 2 rotates forward.
And a reverse rotation regulating surface 16 with which the fixing claw 9 comes into contact when the main shaft 2 rotates in the reverse direction, is provided on the groove wall surface facing the split groove 14.
When rotating between the forward rotation regulating surface 15 and the reverse rotation regulating surface 16, the tightening nut 3 rotates integrally with the main shaft 2,
After contacting each of the regulating surfaces 15 and 16, the tightening nut 3
Are arranged so as to linearly move up and down along the main shaft 2.

In use, the main body 1 is fitted into the keyhole 7 of the manhole cover 4 from the upper side with the side surface of the fixing claw 9 of the tightening nut 3 abutting on the regulating surface 16 at the time of reverse rotation of the split groove 14. When the fixing claw 9 is inserted into the escape hole 8 and the positioning projection 11 of the disc 10 is fitted into the positioning recess 8 of the manhole cover 4, the rotation of the main body 1 with respect to the manhole cover 4 is stopped. You. When the driving end 24 of the operation handle 23 is fitted to the passive end 19 of the main shaft 2 and the main shaft 2 is rotated by a predetermined angle in the forward direction, the fixing claw 9 is separated from the reverse rotation regulating surface 16, It comes into contact with the regulating surface 15 during the forward rotation of the split groove 14. When the forward rotation of the main shaft 2 is continued even after the fixing claw 9 abuts on the regulating surface 15 during the forward rotation, the tightening nut 3 linearly moves upward along the main shaft 2 and approaches the lower surface of the manhole cover 4. Thus, the main body 1 is fixed so that it cannot be pulled out from the keyhole 7 by the engagement of the fixing claw 9 with the edge of the lower hole of the keyhole 7. Thus, the keyhole 7 of the manhole cover 4 is sealed by the disk 10 of the main body 1.

To remove the blind plug device, the driving end 24 of the operating handle 23 is fitted to the passive end 19 of the main shaft 2 and the main shaft 2 is rotated in the opposite direction by a predetermined angle. As a result, the fixing claw 9 separates from the regulating surface 15 during forward rotation, and comes into contact with the regulating surface 16 during reverse rotation. When the reverse rotation of the main shaft 2 is continued even after the fixing claw 9 abuts the reverse rotation regulating surface 16,
The tightening nut 3 moves linearly downward along the main shaft 2. In this state, since the fixing claw 9 is located at a position facing the escape hole 8, the main body 1 is removed from the keyhole 7 of the manhole cover 4 by passing the fixing claw 9 through the escape hole 8. It is.
