  • Patent number: 12180667
    Abstract: There is accordingly provided a height adjustment mechanism for a manhole assembly according to one aspect. The height assembly mechanism includes an annular lower body having a threaded interior bore. The height assembly mechanism includes an annular insert threadably engageable with the lower body. The height assembly mechanism includes an annular upper body threadably engageable with and extending outwards from the lower body. Abutting of the upper body with the insert fixes positioning of the upper body. There is also provided a height adjustment mechanism for a manhole assembly according to another aspect. The height assembly mechanism includes an annular lower body having a threaded interior bore. The height assembly mechanism includes an annular upper body threadably engageable with and extending outwards from the lower body. The annular upper body includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced-apart, radially inwardly-extending protrusions.

  • Patent number: 11649604
    Abstract: There is provided a height adjustment mechanism for a manhole assembly. The height adjustment mechanism includes an annular lower body having a bore. The height adjustment mechanism includes an annular upper body shaped to selectively fit partially within the bore of the lower body. A first of the lower body and the upper body includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced-apart recessed receptacles of varying depths. A second of the lower body and the upper body includes at least one protrusion extending outwards therefrom. The at least one protrusion is shaped to at least partially fit within respective ones of the receptacles.

  • Patent number: 11053658
    Abstract: There is provided a height adjustment mechanism for a manhole assembly, including a lower body with a plurality of axially spaced-apart, height-fixing support assemblies. The mechanism includes an upper body having an annular wall and an end flange member extending radially outwards from the wall adjacent a lower end thereof. The upper body is insertable in part within the lower body. The upper body is axially rotatable from the insertion position to a fixed position in which the end flange member is abutable with one or more of said height-fixing support assemblies. The mechanism includes a locking pin that couples to the upper body and inhibits rotation of the upper body relative to the lower body upon the upper body being rotated into the fixed position. The locking pin being shaped to extend at least in part into a groove of the end flange member of the upper body.

  • Publication number: 20210087776
    Abstract: There is provided a height adjustment mechanism for a manhole assembly, including an annular lower body having a threaded interior bore, an annular insert threadably engageable with the lower body, and an annular upper body threadably engageable with and extending outwards from the lower body. Abutting of the upper body with the insert fixes positioning of the upper body. According to one variation, the upper body has a plurality of circumferentially spaced-apart flange members which selectively engage with circumferentially and axially spaced-apart flange members of the lower body which are aligned in columns. According to a further variation, the flange members of the lower body are aligned in segmented spiral formation. According to a further variation, the upper body includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced-apart, outwardly-extending protrusions which are insertable with selective ones of a variation of receptacles of varying depths which are a part of the lower body.
