Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an improved device for a manhole cover which comprises a first and a second bowl, wherein the second bowl is suitable to be inserted into the first bowl, wherein the second bowl is provided with at least one or several lifting elements, which lifting elements are provided with a bore, wherein the bore is sealed by a sealing element, wherein the sealing element is made of a magnetically sensitive material and the sealing element is suitable to be linearly displaced and/or removed by means of a magnet.
  • the present invention relates to a lifting element and sealing element for and a method for lifting the manhole cover.
  • the invention relates to a manhole cover containing a first and a second bowl, wherein the second bowl is suitable to be inserted into the first bowl.
  • This second bowl is provided with one or several lifting elements which are fitted to the second bowl. These lifting elements are suitable to be used to lift the second bowl out of the first bowl.
  • Such manhole covers are generally known and are used, inter alia, to provide access to sewage systems or utility pipes which are situated in the ground. Paving bricks, other stones or floor elements are placed into the interior of the second bowl, so that the brick cover does not disrupt the structural unity of the road or the floor in which it is arranged. There are numerous options for filling a manhole cover: stones, asphalt, glass, artificial turf, etc.
  • this second bowl may also be a solid unit. By lifting the second bowl out of the first bowl, access is gained to the space located underneath, which may be necessary, for example, in case of repairs and checks on the utility pipe. Lifting of the second bowl is typically effected by means of a T-key which is screwed into a bore of a lifting element (or several) and which thus engages with the lifting element and thus with the second bowl.
  • Sealing a lifting element and the attendant sealing of the screw thread for screwing in the lifting key is typically effected by means of a screwed-in bolt having the same pitch as said screw thread.
  • a bolt may be used which is suitable to be anchored via an opening of the inner bowl in the outer bowl.
  • contact corrosion occurs upon contact of e.g. a sealing bolt which is screwed into a bore of a lifting element using the screw thread of this bore.
  • the invention relates in particular to a manhole cover which comprises a first and a second bowl, wherein the second bowl is suitable to be inserted into the first bowl, wherein the second bowl is provided with at least one or several lifting elements, which lifting elements are provided with a bore, wherein the bore is sealed by a sealing element, wherein the sealing element is made of a magnetically sensitive material and the sealing element is suitable to be linearly displaced and/or removed by means of a magnet, as described in Claim 1.
  • the invention relates to a lifting element for a manhole cover, as described in Claim 13.
  • the invention relates to a sealing element for a manhole cover, as described in Claim 14.
  • the invention in a third aspect, relates to a method for lifting a second bowl out of a first bowl of a manhole cover, as described in Claim 15.
  • a sealing element in a lifting element can quickly and efficiently be detached or displaced by means of a magnet (or key provided with a magnet). At the same time, it becomes possible to seal the lifting element more permanently against external factors. It becomes possible to use a lifting element without screw thread. After all, this screw thread technique is very susceptible to contact corrosion and damage.
  • the shape of a sealing element can also be chosen more freely, which also offers an aesthetic advantage. Also, the visible part of the lifting element does not have to be provided with a groove and/or indentation for removal or placement of the sealing.
  • a lifting element means one or more than one lifting element.
  • the invention in a first aspect, relates to a manhole cover which comprises a first and a second bowl, wherein the second bowl is suitable to be inserted into the first bowl, wherein the second bowl is provided with at least one or several lifting elements, which lifting elements are provided with a bore, wherein the bore is sealed by a sealing element, wherein the sealing element is made of a magnetically sensitive material and the sealing element is suitable to be linearly displaced and/or removed by means of a magnet.
  • lifting element is suitable to be sealed more efficiently against external factors, such as environmental dirt, dust, etc.
  • lifting the second bowl from or placing the second bowl into the first bowl becomes more user-friendly, smoother and more efficient.
  • a sealing element in a lifting element is suitable to be detached or displaced quickly and efficiently via a linear movement and/or displacement by means of a magnet (or key provided with a magnet).
  • a sealing element By suitably selecting the shape and dimensions of a sealing element, the latter is anchored in the lifting element in such a manner that it cannot be removed from said lifting element by contact or friction with materials other than magnets.
  • the surface of a lifting element can also remain perfectly smooth and is not impaired by uneven structures, such as for example a groove and/or indentation, which results from other techniques as described in the prior art.
  • second bowl is understood to mean both a bowl which is suitable to be filled with e.g. stones, asphalt, glass, artificial turf, etc., and a bowl which is a solid unit.
  • sealing element is made of a magnetically sensitive material
  • the sealing element is partly or completely made of a magnetically sensitive material.

  • the sealing elements comprise a composition of different types of material, wherein said composition is sufficiently magnetically sensitive.
  • the shape of the lifting elements is straight prismatic, preferably with a triangular, rectangular or square upper surface, more preferably with a triangular upper surface.
  • lifting elements are provided at at least two corners, preferably four corners, on the inside of the second bowl.
  • a lifting element is provided in the centre of the second bowl.
  • bore in the present invention also comprises bores or holes having a non-round cross-section. Examples thereof are bores having a triangular, rectangular, square, pentagonal, elliptical, etc. cross-section.
