Description

  The present invention relates to a pit cover that can open and close an opening of a pit groove that is recessed in a walking installation surface (for example, an indoor floor surface or an outdoor ground surface).

  The pit grooves used for wiring cable storage, water supply / drainage, and other applications are provided with a pit lid that closes the open upper surface (that is, the opening of the installation surface) and the installation surface is substantially flush with the installation surface.

  The lid body of such a pit lid needs to secure a sufficient bending rigidity so that it can withstand the weight of a pedestrian or the like. Usually, a reinforcing material is fixed, but these technical means have problems such as an increase in the weight of the cover as a whole and an excessive increase in the thickness of the cover itself.

  Therefore, in order to solve this problem, in recent years, it has been proposed that the lid body of the pit lid has a hollow closed cross-section structure by extrusion molding or pultrusion molding, and the lid body is extruded or drawn on the upper surface of the lid body. Forming a plurality of sets of ridges each composed of a plurality of sets of small ridges extending in the molding direction of the molding and arranged in close proximity to each other and simultaneously with the extrusion or pultrusion, The thing using these protrusions for slip prevention is proposed. (See Patent Document 1 below).

  However, in the above-mentioned proposal, since each protrusion group for preventing slip extends linearly in the molding direction of the extrusion molding or pultrusion of the lid body, the slip prevention has directionality and is sufficient in many directions. There is a problem that the anti-slip function cannot be exhibited.

In order to solve such a problem, for example, there has been proposed a method in which a non-slip plate having unevenness capable of exhibiting a multi-directional anti-slip action is fixed on the flat upper surface of the lid body (described below). (See Patent Document 2).

The lid mounting step 2, which is edged with a rim frame material, is provided so as to be recessed from the installation surface F. On the lid mounting step 2, both side edge portions of a plurality of pit lids T arranged in a row so as to close the opening 1 of the pit P are placed and supported, and the upper surface of each lid T is set in the supported state. It is substantially flush with the surface F and constitutes a walking surface together with the installation surface F.

  The lid body Tm of each pit lid T is formed into a hollow closed cross-sectional structure having a rectangular cross section by extrusion molding or pultrusion of aluminum material, and a plurality of partition walls 3 that divide the hollow body into a plurality of closed cross sections. Are integrally formed.

  Each pit lid T is composed of a plurality (two in the illustrated example) of lid bodies Tm. The lid bodies Tm are arranged in parallel on the left and right sides, and the adjacent end portions of the adjacent lid bodies Tm are described later. The coupling means J is detachably coupled.

  On the upper surface of each lid body Tm, a plurality of sets of ridge groups A, B, each composed of a set of a plurality of small ridges t extending in the forming direction of the extrusion molding or pultrusion molding and arranged close to each other. C are formed apart from each other and simultaneously with the extrusion molding or pultrusion molding, and the positions of the ridge groups A, B, C are at least a part of the left and right end walls 4, 4 'of the lid body Tm. The position corresponds to the partition wall 3. That is, the ridge groups A, B, and C are respectively disposed at the left and right end portions and the middle portion (the center portion in the illustrated example) of the upper surface of each lid main body Tm, and the lateral width (therefore, the small ridge group B is small). The number of ridges t) is twice the lateral width of the ridge groups A and C at the left and right ends (therefore, the number of small ridges t).

Arc-shaped engagement grooves tg extending in the molding direction are formed on the left and right side surfaces of each small protrusion t, and are located on one side or both sides of each group of protrusion groups A, B, C. Sliding in multiple directions between the engagement groove tg of the small protrusion t and the engagement groove tg of the small protrusion t of another group of protrusions A, B, and C opposite thereto. A rectangular anti-slip plate S with concavities and convexities that can exert a stopping action is fitted (that is, the left and right side edges of the anti-slip plate S are fitted and fixed in a corresponding pair of engaging grooves tg). In this reference example, a stainless steel strip is used as the anti-slip plate S, and the fitting and fixing of the left and right side edges of the anti-slip plate S to the corresponding engagement groove tg is, for example, the fitting This is performed by using friction generated based on the appropriate setting of the fitting allowance between the surfaces, or by applying an adhesive between the fitting surfaces.

Further, in this reference example, each set of protrusion groups A, B, and C (therefore, a plurality of small protrusions t constituting each protrusion group) are all exposed to the outside and orthogonal to the small protrusions t. The anti-slip action in the direction to be able to be exhibited.

  The coupling means J between the adjacent lid bodies Tm includes a coupling recess 4a formed integrally with the left and right end walls 4 of one lid body Tm, and the other so that the coupling recess 4a can be removably fitted into the coupling recess 4a. It is inserted into the coupling convex part 4a 'formed integrally with the left and right other end wall 4' of the lid body Tm, and the engaging hole 5 formed between the fitting surfaces of the coupling concave part and convex parts 4a, 4a '. And a rod-like engagement tool 6. The coupling operation is performed by fitting the coupling convex portion 4a ′ of the other lid main body Tm into the coupling concave portion 4a of one lid main body Tm and pushing the engaging tool 6 into the engagement hole 5 between the mating surfaces. Completion and release of the connection are performed in the reverse order of the above.

  The coupling recess 4a and the coupling projection 4a ′ exposed at the left and right ends of the pit lid T are covered with dedicated cover pieces 7 and 7 ′, respectively. The coupling recess 4a and the cover piece 7 and the coupling projection 4a ′ and the cover piece 7 ′ are detachably coupled by coupling means Je and Je ′ having the same structure as the coupling means J.

Next, the operation of the first reference example will be described. In this example of use, as is clear from FIG. 1, each lid body Tm is arranged such that its pushing or pulling direction crosses the pit groove P.

  In such an example of use, in order to assemble the pit lid T from a plurality of lid bodies Tm, a non-slip plate S is mounted in advance on the upper surface of a desired number (two in the illustrated example) of lid bodies Tm, and these lids The main bodies Tm are arranged side by side so that the left and right ends thereof are abutted with each other, and the left and right end faces are integrally coupled to each other by the coupling means J. Also, cover pieces 7, 7 'are integrally coupled to the left and right ends of the pit lid T by coupling means Je, Je'. Thus, the assembly of the pit lid T is completed.

Thus, according to the present reference example, the small protrusions t in the protrusion groups A, B, and C formed on the upper surface of the lid body Tm that is an extrusion-molded or pultruded product are left and right of the small protrusion t. Each side surface has an engagement groove tg extending in the molding direction of the lid main body Tm, and the engagement of the small ridge t located on one side or both sides of at least one set of ridge groups A, B, C. Between the groove tg and the engaging groove tg of the small ridge t of another set of ridge groups A, B, and C opposite to the groove tg, unevenness 9 capable of exhibiting a multidirectional anti-slip action is provided on the upper surface. The attached wide anti-slip plate S is fitted from one end side in the molding direction of the lid main body Tm. Therefore, each of the protrusion groups A, B, C can not only exhibit a sufficient anti-slip function in a direction orthogonal to the molding direction, but also has a wide anti-slip plate S that can exhibit an anti-slip function in multiple directions. Can be accurately fixed to the upper surface of the lid body Tm between adjacent ridge groups A, B, and C with a simple structure using some small ridges t (engagement grooves tg). As a result, it is possible to reduce costs and improve assembly workability while ensuring a good anti-slip function as a whole. Moreover, the pair of left and right engaging grooves tg specially provided on the small protrusion t can be easily and accurately formed simultaneously with the extrusion molding or the pultrusion molding of the lid body Tm.

Further, in this reference example, since the anti-slip plate S is composed of a metal plate, particularly a stainless steel strip, the anti-slip plate S having high rigidity and durability and good anti-slip for a long period of time. The function can be demonstrated.

FIG. 6 shows a second reference example. In this reference example, the anti-slip plate S is the same as the first reference example except that the whole is integrally formed of a rubber material or a synthetic resin material. The same reference numerals as those in the reference example are attached.

Thus, in this reference example, even if the top surface of the anti-slip plate S has a complicated uneven shape, it can be manufactured easily and at low cost. In particular, when the anti-slip plate S is formed of a rubber material, the anti-slip effect is great in combination with the unevenness 9 on the upper surface.

The Figure 7, Figure 8, Kazumi施例of the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, at least a part (a whole in the illustrated example) of the plurality of sets of protrusion groups A, B, C formed on the upper surface of each lid body Tm has unevenness 9 that can exhibit an anti-slip action in multiple directions. Is covered with a relatively narrow strip-shaped anti-slip plate S ', and the lower surface of the anti-slip plate S' is opposed to a plurality of small protrusions t immediately below the anti-slip plate S '. A plurality of engaging projections 8 respectively fitted between the engaging grooves tg are formed in parallel with each other. This anti-slip plate S ′ is integrally formed of a rubber material or a synthetic resin material as in the second reference example.

Also, two pairs of protrusion groups A and C located at adjacent ends of a pair of adjacent lid main bodies Tm are congruent with each other with the same width as the central protrusion group B adjacent to each other in the combined state of the two lid main bodies Tm. A ridge group is formed, and the joint ridge groups A and C are covered with a common strip-like anti-slip plate S ′ straddling them. On the lower surface of the common anti-slip plate S ′, a plurality of engaging protrusions 8 are formed in parallel with each other corresponding to the joint protrusion groups A and C, and the engaging protrusions 8 are integrally formed. The plurality of small protrusions t of the joint protrusion groups A and C are respectively fitted between the engaging grooves tg facing each other. The configuration other than the above is basically the same as that of the first reference example, and each component is denoted by the same reference numeral as the corresponding component of the first reference example.

According to Thus the real施例this, protrusion group A arranged at a mutual spacing on the upper surface of the lid body Tm, B, C are, strip-shaped slip capable of exhibiting slip effect in multiple directions Each of the anti-slip plates S ′ is covered with a plate S ′, and the anti-slip plate S ′ has a plurality of engaging protrusions 8 fitted on the lower surface thereof, which are respectively fitted between the opposing engaging grooves tg of the small protruding ridges t. Since it has an integral structure, a non-slip plate S 'capable of exhibiting anti-slip functions in multiple directions is provided on the top surface of the lid body Tm with a simple structure using small ridges t of the ridge groups A, B, and C. It can be fixed accurately, contributing to cost savings and improved assembly workability.

  In addition, in this embodiment, two sets of ridge groups A and C located at adjacent ends of a pair of adjacent lid bodies Tm are adjacent to each other in the coupled state of both lid bodies Tm, and the central ridge group B Since the joint ridge groups A and C are covered with the common strip-like anti-slip plate S ′ straddling them, The common anti-slip plate S 'can cover the boundary between the two lid bodies Tm, Tm adjoiningly, and the common anti-slip plate S' itself also serves as a coupling means between the lid bodies Tm. Therefore, the structure can be further simplified and the cost can be reduced, and the coupling strength between the two lid bodies Tm can be further enhanced in combination with the coupling effect of the original coupling means J.

Although the reference examples and the examples of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to these reference examples and examples, and various examples are possible within the scope of the present invention. For example, in the above embodiment, the lid body Tm is extruded or pultruded with an aluminum material, but the lid body Tm is a metal material other than an aluminum material that can be extruded or pultruded, or a synthetic resin such as FRP. Extrusion molding or pultrusion molding may be performed with a system material.

In the first and second reference examples, a relatively wide anti-slip plate S is fitted between the strip groups A, B, and C spaced apart from each other, and the projection groups A, B, and C are exposed. Further, in the embodiment of the present invention , such a wide anti-slip plate S is omitted, and each ridge group A, B, C is covered with a belt-like anti-slip plate S ′. It showed, in the present invention, the slip prevention plate S of the first or the second reference example, but it may also be adapted for use at the same time in combination example slip prevention plate S 'and appropriate.

Also, the real施例showed that forming the engaging groove tg in cross section arcuate, in the present invention, as cross-sectional shape of the engaging groove, exhibits a retaining action on at least skid plate S ' Any shape can be used, and for example, it may be formed in a U-shaped cross section or a V-shape.
