Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for mounting an access cover, such as a manhole cover, in a wearing surface.
  • wearing surface any surface, such as roads and pavements, which require periodic resurfacing.
  • Access covers are a common feature of road and pavement surfaces and provide access to underground services and installations, such as sewage, telephone, electrical, gas and water installations.
  • the access cover generally resides in a supporting frame which is formed from cast iron and extends down into the foundations beneath the road or pavement and may be set therein with concrete or a similar material.
  • the level at which the frame is set into the foundation is chosen such that, with the access cover residing in the frame, the upper surface of the access cover lies substantially flush with the road surface. Due to wear from traffic, road and pavement surfaces require periodic resurfacing.
  • Resurfacing of the wearing surface may be effected either by planing down the original surface followed by laying a new surface at substantially the same level as the original surface or by simple laying a new surface on the existing surface.
  • the cutting gear of the planing apparatus may collide with the upper part of the support frame, damaging both the cutting gear and the support frame. It will be appreciated that it is also difficult to work around the protruding parts. Furthermore, once the road or pavement surface has been planed, parts of the supporting frame which stand proud of the surface pose a major safety hazard to traffic. In the latter case, in order to raise the access cover to the level of the new road or pavement surface, the support frame needs to be dug up and reset at the new higher level. This is clearly time consuming and expensive.
  • DE-B-1 484 888 relates to a vertically adjustable mounting frame for a manhole cover.
  • the present invention provides a device for mounting an access cover in a wearing surface, for example a road surface, having a wear course overlying a base course, the device comprising a service frame in which the cover is removably received, a main frame for mounting below the base course, the main frame being made up of one or more stackable frames each frame having an upwardly extending wall portion and an inwardly extending flange portion at a base thereof and a recess formed around an outer lower edge, which recess is co-operable with the upper part of a wall portion of another stackable frame, and support means to support the service frame on the main frame at a first position at which, in use, a top surface of the access cover is substantially flush with the top surface of the wearing course, wherein removal and/or adjustment of the support means enables the service frame to be moved relative to the main frame to a second position at which, in use, the top surface of the access cover is substantially flush with the bottom surface of the base course, and wherein the service frame
  • the main frame preferably has a squarish horizontal cross-section, wherein four equally spaced recesses are provided in the flange portion thereof at positions approximately midway along the four sides.
  • the support means preferably comprises four equal and separate diagonally asymmetrical collar quarters, each collar quarter having a cut-out portion, wherein the cut-out portions are out of alignment with respect to the recesses in the flange portion of the main frame.
  • One or more extension collars are preferably located on a top portion of the main frame.
  • a device for mounting an access cover in a wearing surface for example a road surface, having a wear course overlying a base course
  • the device comprising a service frame in which the cover is removably received, a main frame for mounting below the base course, and support means to support the service frame on the main frame at a first position at which, in use, a top surface of the access cover is substantially flush with the top surface of the wearing course, wherein removal and/or adjustment of the support means enables the service frame to be moved relative to the main frame to a second position at which, in use, the top surface of the access cover is substantially flush with the bottom surface of the base course, and wherein one or more extension collars is/are located on a top portion of the main frame, and wherein the service frame is an open annular or rectangular frame having at a base thereof an outwardly extending flange.
  • the service frame is an open annular or rectangular frame having at a base thereof an outwardly extending flange.
  • the service frame typically has a height of from about 8 cm to 18 cm, more typically from about 10 cm to about 16 cm.
  • the access cover is preferably removably received in the service frame, but may also be hingedly connected thereto.
  • the main frame is preferably an open annular or rectangular frame having at a base thereof an inwardly extending flange.
  • more than one main frame may be provided depending on the depth of the access hole.
  • the two or more main frames are designed to be stackable on top of one another.
  • the main frame advantageously surrounds the service frame at the second position. It will be appreciated that in both the first and second aspects of the present invention, the distance the main frame extends vertically may be adjusted by providing grout, cement or other packing material between a bottom surface thereof and the ground therebelow.
  • the service frame is supported on the main frame by support means.
  • the support means are adjustable and/or removable. Adjustment and/or removal of the support means enables the service frame to be moved relative to the main frame to a plurality of positions including the first and second positions.
  • the support means comprises one or more collars, preferably disposed between an upper surface of the flange of the main frame and a lower surface of the flange of the service frame.
  • the height of the one or more collars relative to the main frame may be adjusted by providing grout, cement or other packing material between a bottom surface thereof and the upper surface of the flange of the main frame.
  • the one or more collars may comprise separable segments.
  • the height of the service frame relative to the support means may be adjusted by providing grout, cement or other packing material between a bottom surface thereof and an upper surface of the support means.

  • the first extension collar 30 is removably located on the main frame 20 by virtue of a ridge 31 provided around its base 32, which cooperates with the ridge 23 on the upper surface 24 of wall portion 21.
  • a ridge 33 around the upper surface 34 of the first extension collar 30 is also provided.
  • the second extension collar 40 Removably located on the upper surface 34 of the first extension collar 30 is an optional second extension collar 40, again of similar horizontal cross-section (not shown) to that of the main frame 20.
  • the second extension collar 40 has a similar form to that of the first extension collar 30 and extends upwards from the base course 8 to a position adjacent to the top 11 of the wear course 7.
  • the second extension collar 40 has a ridge 41 around its base 42 which cooperates with the ridge 33 on the upper surface 34 of the first extension collar 30.
  • a ridge 43 around the upper surface 44 of the second extension collar 40 is also provided. Both the first 30 and second 40 extension collars are formed from concrete.
  • the main frame 20 and the two extension collars 30 and 40 surround a service frame 50, which is formed from cast iron and is an open rectangular frame having an upwardly extending wall portion 51 and outwardly and inwardly extending flange portions, 52 and 52a, respectively, at its base.

  • a second extension collar 40 is added to the first extension collar 30 to bring the main frame 20 to substantially the new level of the wear course to be laid.
  • the wear course is then laid and the height of the service frame 50 can be adjusted if necessary via the wedges, such as that shown at 86, so that the top surface 62 of the access cover 60 lies substantially flush with the newly laid wear surface. It will be appreciated that tilt of the road can be catered for by adjusting the wedges by differing amounts.
  • grout or cement or other packing material is inserted in the gap between the bottom surface 58 of the flange portion 52 of the service frame 50 and the upper surface 82 of the collar 81 of the height-adjustable spacer element 80.
  • this material has set, the wedges are either removed or left in place.
  • the wedges When the time comes again for the road to be resurfaced, the wedges are reinserted into their former positions and the service frame 50 is raised. By this process the grout or cement in the gap between the service frame 50 and collar 81 and also the base and wear course material in the space between the vertical wall 51 of the service frame 50 and the extension collars 30 and 40 are fractured.

  • the main frame 100 has a squarish horizontal cross-section and the wall 101 and flange 102 portions define a central squarish aperture 103.
  • frame 100 is adapted to be stackable by virtue of a recess 104 formed around its outer lower edge, which, it will be appreciated, can cooperate with the upper part of a wall portion of another such frame.
  • flange portion 102 Four equally spaced recesses 105a-d are provided in flange portion 102 at positions approximately midway along the four sides and these facilitate lifting of the support means and service frame (not shown) by the use of one or more levers for example.
  • FIG 8 shows an alternative support means collar 110 for use with the stackable main frame 100 of Figures 6 and 7.
  • the collar 110 in this embodiment of the invention comprises four equal and separate collar quarters 111a-d. When the collar quarters 111a-d are positioned as shown, they define a central squarish aperture 112 which corresponds substantially with aperture 103 (see Figure 6).
  • collar quarters 111a-d are not diagonally symmetrical. Cut-out portions 113a-d are provided in collar quarters 111a-d respectively to facilitate lifting of the service frame (not shown) by the use of one or more levers for example.
  • Cut-out portions 113a-d are positioned away from the centre of the four sides of the collar and, accordingly, are out of alignment with respect to recesses 105a-d (see Figures 6 and 7).
  • no height-adjustable spacer element is provided in contrast to the support means illustrated in Figure 1, no height-adjustable spacer element is provided. Consequently, in this embodiment of the invention, the service frame is moved from the first position to the second position simply by removal of collar 110. Fine adjustment of the height of the service frame may be achieved by the use of grout or cement or other packing material between the various mating surfaces. Screw holes 114a-d and screws (not shown) may also be provided to enable further height and/or tilt adjustment.
  • the device and method of the present invention address many of the problems associated with the prior art, for example the hazard of parts of the supporting frame standing proud of the surface.
  • the device of the present invention may be used in a variety of differently sized access holes. Inspection of the access hole is relatively simple and the device is easy to dismantle. Fine adjustment and tilt of the access cover is provided.
