Patent number: 9290968Abstract: A locking mechanism for a cover having at least a portion able to undergo elastic deformation and including at least one opening disposed at least partially in the at least portion of the cover able to undergo elastic deformation is provided. The locking mechanism includes at least one blocker movable between an open position where the at least one blocker is disengaged from the at least one opening, and a locked position where the at least one blocker is engaged in the at least one opening. In the locked position, the at least one blocker prevents at least partially elastic deformation of the at least portion of the cover. A cover and locking mechanism assembly is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2013Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: CANADA PIPE COMPANY ULCInventor: Pierre-Laurent Beaudoin

Patent number: 9157213Abstract: A frame for a cover for an inlet of one of a catch basin and a manhole is provided. The inlet has an inlet passageway having a first cross-sectional shape having an axis of symmetry. A hollow body of the frame defines a frame passageway and has a second cross-sectional shape having first and second sides opposite to one another. When the frame is installed, the hollow body has a lower end extending partially within at least one of the inlet passageway and a head portion reducing a surface area of the inlet passageway. The second cross-sectional shape is inscribed within the first cross-sectional shape, and a distance of the first side of the second cross-sectional shape to the axis of symmetry of the first cross-sectional shape is different from distance of the second side of the second cross-sectional shape to the axis of symmetry of the first cross-sectional shape.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2014Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: CANADA PIPE COMPANY ULCInventor: Pierre-Laurent Beaudoin

Publication number: 20030188672Abstract: A stowable surface including an extending surface support assembly, for use as a table, bed, seat, stand, or other purpose requiring a substantially horizontal surface which folds away. The surface support assembly pivots between a deployed position and a stowed position, the surface support assembly assuming an extended position when deployed and a retracted position when stowed. A locking element is engaged to prevent extension of the surface support assembly when the surface support assembly is stowed. The locking element is moved into a disengaged position to permit extension of the surface support assembly as the surface support assembly pivots during deployment.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2003Publication date: October 9, 2003Applicant: BOMBARDIER, INC.Inventors: Bernard Parent, Laurent Beaudoin
