Definitions

  • the present invention relates to connecting means for the junction of two adjacent road parts intended to be placed on a support structure, such as for example gates of chained gutters or multi-channel pit traps.
  • gutters In environments such as airports, overflow pools, the floors of buildings in which water is used for various operations, or even city streets or highways, it is common to use gutters for the evacuation of water. These gutters generally have a poured concrete edge on which two metal beams are fixed intended to support the road parts.
  • the road parts for example grids, are simply placed next to each other on the side rails.
  • connection means lies in the need to use added elements.
  • road parts are generally installed in an environment where dust and dirt accumulate, the chaining screws seize up and their operation becomes very difficult when it is necessary to dismantle the parts to intervene on the network.
  • Another solution consists in using road parts whose end faces in contact with neighboring parts are provided with complementary hooking members coming into mutual engagement.
  • the fastening members are rigid, and the drawback of this type of connection means lies in the fact that, to assemble or disassemble a road part provided with such means, it is necessary to hold two by hand. parts raised. However, an average piece often weighs around 40 kg.
  • the present invention aims to provide connecting means for the junction of two road parts which allow to overcome these drawbacks.
  • the present invention relates, for this purpose, connecting means for the junction of two road parts juxtaposed in a longitudinal direction and intended to be placed on a support structure, for example a drainage channel or a trap door frame multi-channel, these means being characterized in that they comprise an elastically deformable bar integral with one of the parts to be joined and housed in a window thereof, and a finger integral with the other part and projecting in the direction longitudinal thereon, which finger has a bead adapted to snap by cooperation with the elastic bar.
  • the present invention also relates to a road component having connecting means as defined above, with at one of its ends at least one elastically deformable bar and, at the opposite end, at least one projecting finger latching.
  • the part has a window at each end, the two elastic bars being oriented head to tail, one of the two fingers having a U shape and the other an inverted U shape.
  • FIG. 1 the adjacent end portions of two gutter grids 1A, 1B, identical and of generally rectangular shape, each of which is constituted by a cast iron cast part. These grids are intended to be placed on two support rails, not shown, located on either side of a gutter.
  • Each grid comprises on each side a lateral beam 2, and the two beams are connected at regular intervals, over the entire current part of the grid, by transverse bars 3 which also connects a median beam 4.
  • the elements 2 to 4 thus delimit a number of half-windows 5 of generally rectangular shape.
  • the right end part (considering FIG. 1) of the left grid 1A comprises an end transverse bar 6A connecting the two longitudinal members 2, and between this bar and the nearest bar 3, an elastic bar 7A connected to the only upper spar 2 (considering Figure 1) and extending transversely to a small distance from the other spar 2.
  • the bar 6A carries, roughly a quarter of its length from the upper spar 2, a finger 8A in the shape of a U (FIG. 2) projecting in the longitudinal direction.
  • the outer or right arm of this finger carries on its side furthest from the bar 6A a bead forming a double cam and comprising, considering FIG. 2, an upper ramp 9A inclined downwards and outwards and a lower ramp 10A inclined downwards and inwards, that is to say towards the grid 1A.
  • the bar 6A has in its upper face a notch 11 whose outer face 12 is inclined downward and outward. In addition, at about three-quarters of its length, the bar 6A has another notch 13 formed in its upper face.
  • the bar 7A has on its outer vertical face, that is to say facing the bar 6A, a double cam similar to that of the finger 8A, that is to say comprising an upper ramp 14A inclined downward and outward and a lower ramp 15A inclined downward and inward.
  • This double cam the inclinations of which correspond to those of the double cam 9A, 10A, is located, in plan view (FIG. 1), facing the notch 13.
  • the bar 7A can deform elastically in the plane of FIG. 1, inside the window 16A of generally rectangular shape delimited by the two longitudinal members 2, the bar 6A and the bar 7A.
  • the amplitude of this deformation is limited by stops 17, 18 projecting respectively from the elements 6A and 7A.
  • the elements bordering the window 16A protect the bar 7A from all sides against possible shocks.
  • the left end part (considering FIG. 1) of the right grid 1B comprises an end transverse bar 6B connecting the two longitudinal members 2, and, between this bar and the nearest bar 3, a bar 7B elastically deformable connected to the only lower spar 2 (considering the Figure 1) and extending transversely to a small distance from the other spar 2.
  • the bar 6B carries, roughly a quarter of its length from the lower spar 2, a finger 8B in the shape of an inverted U (FIG. 3) projecting in the longitudinal direction.
  • the outer or left branch of this finger carries on its side furthest from the bar 6B a bead forming a double cam and comprising, considering FIG. 3, an upper ramp 9B inclined downwards and outwards and a lower ramp 10B inclined downwards and inwards, that is to say towards the grid 1B.
  • the bar 6B has in its upper plane a projection 19 oriented towards the outside and, below the latter, an inclined overhanging surface 20.
  • the bar 7B has on its outer vertical face, that is to say facing the bar 6B, a double cam similar to that of the finger 8B, that is to say comprising an upper ramp 14B inclined downwards and outwards and a lower ramp 15B inclined downwards and inwards.
  • the bar 7B can deform elastically in the plane of Figure 1, inside a rectangular window 16B, and the bar 6B and the bar 3 adjacent to the bar 7B have projections limiting this displacement.
  • the grid 1A is in place on its support beams.
  • the grid 1B is placed in its extension, so that the bar 6B is at plumb with the hollow of the finger 8A and the trough of the finger 8B is plumb with the bar 6A.
  • the lower ramp 10B of the finger 8B thus comes into contact with the upper ramp 14A of the bar 7A, and simultaneously the lower ramp 15B of the bar 7B comes into contact with the upper ramp 9A of the finger 8A.
  • the ramps 10B and 9A repel elastically, by cam effect, the free ends of the bars 7A and 7B, then the ends of the two fingers snap in, with contact d on the one hand of the ramps 9B and 15A ( Figure 3), on the other hand of the ramps 10A and 14B ( Figure 2).
  • the two grids are then hooked to each other.
  • attachment ramps 10A, 14B ( Figure 2) and 9B, 15A ( Figure 3) can be replaced by horizontal surfaces.
