  • Patent number: 7377141
    Abstract: A device for locking and unlocking a cover or lid on a frame by means of a key. The device includes an element forming the locking bolt formed of an elastically deformable rod protruding from the cover and terminating in a hook-shaped free end suitable for engaging under a rigid rib of the receiver of the frame. The key has a spur making it possible to elastically move the rod to disengage its hook-shaped end from the rigid rib.

  • Patent number: 7303669
    Abstract: The invention relates to a grate for closing a drain and similar. The inventive grate comprises an internal elastically deformable grid (2) provided with a locking pin (8) arranged on the free end thereof. Said locking pin is used for connecting the deformable grid to a frame (7) and is arranged under the external solid edge (9) of the grid in such a way that it is invisible from outside when it is incorporated into the frame (7). Said invention is used for a road network.

  • Patent number: 7080954
    Abstract: An apparatus for covering a ditch includes a cover and girders having rabbets with projecting edges and flat-lying edges, the cover being placed on the rabbets. The apparatus has, before it is set up, a configuration for installation including one or several bars passing through lower webs of the girders and fixed to the girders and to the cover to maintain their final configuration, and level adjusting screws in edges of the girders defining a polygon providing stable support.

  • Patent number: 6588810
    Abstract: A closing device with selective locking for closing a frame includes a roughly flat lid selectively applied to the frame, a lock connected with the lid, and a key which has a socket and an arm, one end of the arm carrying the socket. The lid has an opening for access to the lock by the key, the lock has a latch which cooperates with a catch of the frame, and the key selectively assumes, with respect to an opening, a locking position which the key can leave freely and in which the latch is trapped by the catch, and an unlocking position in which the key is trapped in the opening and in which the latch is disengaged from the catch. The arm and the socket of the key are roughly perpendicular to one another, and the arm is roughly perpendicular to the lid when the key is in the unlocking position.
