Abstract: The invention relates to a device for closing an opening, particularly a man hole. The inventive device comprises a frame (4) and a cover (6) which is articulated to the frame (4) around a first axis (X-X) by means of a hinge (14). The device also comprises a locking means (16) having a locked configuration, whereby the cover is held open in a first position, and an unlocked configuration, whereby said cover (6) is disposed in a second position in which it can be pivoted around the axis (X-X). The aforementioned hinge (14) is designed such that, while resting on the frame, the cover (6) can pivot around a second horizontal axis (Y-Y). Moreover, the cover is pivoted around said second axis (Y-Y) in order to move same between the two positions. The invention is suitable for cast iron man holes.

Abstract: This highway device includes a frame and an element (14) for covering the frame, the frame (12) including a peripheral border with two walls delimiting a groove and the covering element being equipped with a projecting peripheral lip (32) engaging in the groove in the frame-covering position. The covering element (14) includes at least one ramp (44) extending between the lip (32) and the internal surface of the element, the ramp or ramps being intended to bear on the end edge of the peripheral border of the frame and thus guiding the covering element during the displacement of the latter with respect to the frame, under the action of a force exerted on the element in a zone opposite the ramp or ramps (44).
