FR2735506A1 - WATER FLOW CHANNEL AND SET OF STRUCTURAL PARTS CONSTITUTING THE SAME - Google Patents

Abstract

The constituent elements (3) of a water drainage channel have, at one of their ends, a draft (2) into which penetrates, by concordance of shapes, a projection located at the opposite end of a neighboring constituent element (3). The undercut (2) is longer than the protrusion. An integrated sealing piece (1) of plastic material, configured in a U, can be embedded in the groove thus formed.

Description

WATER FLOW CHANNEL AND PARTS SET

  STRUCTURALS CONSTITUTING THE LATEST

  The present invention relates to a drainage channel

  water, comprising constituent elements which pre-

  feel a draft at one end and, at the other end, a corresponding protrusion designed to enter the draft, of cross-sectional configuration

  identical, of an adjacent constituent element.

  The invention further relates to a set of structural parts.

  gullies for a gutter of the aforementioned type, comprising a number

  limited of integrated groove sealing parts, fits

  both to groups of constituent elements of the gutter whose

height increases linearly.

  Water drainage channels are formed of ele

  constituent elements made, for example, from concrete

  lyester, which are mutually aligned by their extreme faces

  my. The constituent elements of the gutter comprise for this purpose, on one of the sides, a body in which penetrates,

  by concordance of shapes, a protrusion shaped on the op-

  posed of the neighboring constituent element. When the channel must be watertight, for example in the vicinity of substations

  essence, the draft is longer, in the longitudinal direction

  nal of the gutter, that the projection of the constitutive element located opposite and penetrating into this body by concordance of shapes, which gives rise to a groove configured in U.

  This groove is filled with a mass of water

dearly.

  This sealing mode is not necessary in ap-

  common complications. In these applications (normal channel), therefore, the length of the draft is equal to that of

the projection.

  The components of the gutter are kept at

  position at the rate of twenty to thirty different heights, for

  example in order to obtain a slope of the bottom of the gutter in pre-

  sence of a flat surface. This requires the storage of a pallet

of articles consequently extended.

  The object of the present invention is to simplify storage. According to the invention, this object is achieved by the fact that the water drainage channel, of the type mentioned

  in the introduction, is characterized by an integrated part of

  set in a U-shape and intended to be embedded or glued in the groove of the draft, the internal profile of the integrated sealing part being identical, in the incorporated state, to

  internal profile of the constituent elements of the gutter.

  According to other characteristics of the channel according to the invention: - the width of the integrated groove sealing part

  can advantageously be greater than the width of the

pouille;

  - preferably, the two branches of the integrated watertight part

  The groove diverges in the direction of the free ends; - the branches of the integrated groove sealing part

  can judiciously include, in the direction of their

  free mite, sectioning notches at regular intervals

liers;

  - Said integrated sealing part can, conveniently, present

  ter a sealing lip or a sealing bead on at least one of its end faces; and

  - Preferably, said integrated part consists of rubber-

  natural or plastic cabbage, in particular a material

  thermoplastic or an elastomer.

  The set of structural parts mentioned in the introduction

  tion, intended for the channel according to the invention, is characterized

  laughed at by the fact that the integrated sealing parts

  attempt to cut notches with which said

  integrated parts can be adapted to the components

  individual activities within the group.

  An integrated sealing piece can be advantageous-

  adapted to each height of the component part of the

  veal. The integrated sealing part according to the invention makes it possible for the elements constituting a cantilever, produced in such a way that their liquid-tight sealing is ensured by sealing masses, can

  also be easily used for applications in -

  which no absolute sealing is necessary. It is enough

  then insert, in the draft, the integrated part of watertight

  This guarantees a smooth flow transition between the gutters. The palette of available gutters, to be

  kept in stock, can be greatly reduced accordingly

  laying and the components of gutters can be produced in greater numbers, at lower cost. In certain circumstances, the method of sealing provided by the

  integrated groove seal is also sufficient

  health to establish liquid tightness between the elements

  constituent elements of the gutter, in particular when said integrated part has sealing beads or additional sealing strips at its end faces, or else when it is incorporated by gluing. In this case, we dispense with filling the groove with a sealing mass, requiring a relatively large amount of work.

big.

  The invention will now be described in more detail, by way of non-limiting example, with reference to the appended drawings in which: FIG. 1 is a perspective of an integrated part for sealing a groove;

  Figure 2 illustrates three integrated parts of waterproof-

  ment, of different heights; Figure 3 is a view showing an end face

  of a component of the gutter, as well as the internal part

  sealing rig not yet in place; and Figures 4 and 5 show, in a longitudinal section and a plan view, two components of the channel which are mutually aligned and are, respectively, devoid

  and provided with an integrated sealing part.

  As an observation of FIGS. 3 and 4 reveals, constituent elements 3 of a water drainage channel have, on one of their end faces, a relief 2 into which a projection 8 of the constituent element 3 penetrates. adjacent. In the longitudinal direction of the constituent element, the relief 2 is longer than the length of the projection 8, which gives rise, in the connection zone, to a groove 4 of rectangular cross section in the shape of a U observed from the front. When the channel must have a liquid tightness downwards, this groove 4 can be

  filled with a sealing mass. In the event that no

  absolute integrity is not necessary, an integrated waterproof part

  ment 1 in accordance with figures 1 to 3 is embedded or glued in

  said groove 4. The integrated part 1 for sealing the spoke

  nure consists of natural rubber or a plastic material

  tick, for example in a thermoplastic material or in a rubber band

  tomera. It can be previously constrained by its two

  branches 5, in the sense that an overall dimension has, at the ends

  free mites of branches 5, is appreciably larger than the

width b of the draft 2.

  The range of available gutters can include a

  number of constituent elements whose height increases

  linearly, in order to obtain a slope from the bottom of the gutter when the road has a flat surface. To simplify

  storage, sectioning notches 6 can be provided

  on the branches 5 of the integrated parts 1 for sealing the grooves, with a view to adapting to each element height

  constitutive. However, when the range of heights of the ele-

  constituent elements is extended, to avoid that a large quan-

  tity of material must be cut off on the integrated sealing parts of the constituent elements of low height, said integrated parts 1 can also, for example,

  be provided at three different heights, such as the illus-

  FIG. 2. However, it is also possible to make available an integrated sealing part adapted to each height of the channel. To compensate for the length tolerance of the draft 2 and the projection 8, the integrated parts 1 may include a sealing lip or a sealing bead.

  lying on at least one of their end faces 7.

  The integrated parts in accordance with the invention, ensuring the tightness of the grooves, offer the advantage that they can be incorporated much more quickly than the conventional type poured sealing masses; and in that one obtains, between neighboring constituent elements, a smooth transition conducive to flow, without indentations

  nor enhancements. Following the simple and inexpensive incorporation

  se, the components designed to fill a sealing groove can also be used for the

  case, in service, no liquid tightness would be ne-

  bond between neighboring constituent elements; and it is possible to use, in the usual way, other constituent elements whose length of the draft is equal to the

  length of the projection at the opposite end. This allows

  significantly reduce the range of building blocks

available, to be stored.

  It goes without saying that many modifications can be made to the invention as described and shown,

without going beyond its framework.
