[0001] AN INSTALLATION FOR LEADING CABLES OR PIPES THROUGH A CASTED PARTITION, METHOD FOR OBTAINING SUCH AN INSTALLATION, A FRAME ASSEMBLY AND USE THEREOF

[0002] Technical Field

[0003] The present invention is related to an installation for leading cables and / or pipes through a casted partition. More specifically, the present invention is related to an installation comprising a casted partition and a frame assembly for leading one or more cables and / or pipes through said partition. The frame assembly has an axis, forms an axially extending through opening in the partition and comprises a frame base part and at least one frame extension part connected to the frame base part, wherein each of the frame base part and said frame extension part comprises a first end portion, an opposite second end portion and a through opening forming part of the axially extending through opening of the frame assembly, wherein the first end portion of said frame extension part is connected to the second end portion of the frame base part and forms an extension of the frame base part along the axis, wherein the frame base part and the at least one frame extension part are casted into the partition. Such installations are used for leading cables and / or pipes through casted partitions, such as walls, ceilings, floors, intermediate floors, etc., formed by a setting material, such as concrete or similar construction materials.

[0004] The present invention is also related to a method for obtaining such an installation. The present invention is also related to the use of a frame assembly for leading cables and / or pipes through a casted partition. The present invention is also related to frame assemblies for leading cables and / or pipes through casted partitions.

[0005] Background

[0006] Different types of installations are used to lead cables and / or pipes through casted walls and other casted partitions. Casted partitions are often made of concrete or similar materials and may also be called moulded partitions. The casted partition can be pre-casted or casted in-situ. An installation or assembly for leading cables and / or pipes through partitions are generally known as a cable transit or a cable lead- through. To obtain a cable transit in a casted partition a frame assembly is casted into the partition to form a through opening for leading one or more cables trough the frame assembly and through the partition. Hence, the frame assembly forms a through opening in the partition. Cable transits may have to seal against fluid, gas, fire, rodents, termites, dust, moisture etc. and many receive cables for electricity, communication, computers etc., or pipes for different gases or liquids such as water, compressed air, hydraulic fluid and cooking gas. In such cases, one or more sealing modules for sealing around the one or more cables and / or pipes can be arranged inside the frame assembly. Such sealing modules can comprise two module halves having a through groove for receiving the cable or pipe. Optionally, peelable sheets can be arranged in the groove for adapting the diameter to the cable or pipe. The sealing modules are compressible and are compressed by a compression unit to provide a seal around the one or more cables and / or pipes.

[0007] One problem with cable transits of prior art is that they lack flexibility and functionality depending on the partition and intended use.

[0008] Summary

[0009] In view of the above, one object of the present invention is to provide an installation for leading one or more cables and / or pipes through a casted partition that provides for efficient installation and flexibility in application possibilities.

[0010] The present invention is related to an installation comprising a casted partition and a frame assembly for leading one or more cables and / or pipes through said partition, wherein the partition has a first face and an opposite second face, wherein the frame assembly has an axis, forms an axially extending through opening in the partition and comprises a frame base part and at least one frame extension part connected to the frame base part, wherein each of the frame base part and said frame extension part comprises a first end portion, an opposite second end portion and a through opening forming part of the axially extending through opening of the frame assembly, wherein the first end portion of said frame extension part is connected to the second end portion of the frame base part and forms an extension of the frame base part along the axis, wherein the frame base part and the at least one frame extension part are casted into the partition, characterised in that the second end portion of the frame base part comprises first fastening elements connected to second fastening elements of the first end portion of said frame extension part, and the second end portion of said frame extension part comprises third fastening elements similar to the first fastening elements. The configuration of the first, second and third fastening elements provide an efficient frame assembly of desired length that can be used for partitions of many different thicknesses in an easy and efficient manner. In addition, the third fastening elements of the frame extension part make it possible to attach an optional frame adapter part to the frame extension part or an outermost frame extension part if desired, which provides further flexibility and application possibilities. The frame assembly can comprise a plurality of frame extension parts connected to each other by means of the second and third fastening elements.

[0011] The through opening of the frame base part can be a rectangular through opening. This results in a frame assembly that can receive sealing modules and a compression unit in an efficient manner. Also, optional stayplates can be arranged in the through opening of the frame base part if desired. The opening of the frame extension part can also be rectangular. Hence, a longer through opening is formed in the axial direction and longer sealing modules can be arranged and compressed inside the frame assembly if desired. Alternatively, two sets of sealing modules and a compression unit can be arranged inside the frame assembly, e.g. to form a front sealing and a rear sealing, optionally with a gap between the front sealing and the rear sealing. Hence, one set of sealing modules and a compression unit can be arranged inside the frame base part and another set of sealing modules and a compression unit can be arranged in the frame extension part(s). Such a transit with front and rear sets of sealing modules are also called a back-to-back sealing.

[0012] The installation can comprise a frame adapter part having fourth fastening elements similar to the second fastening elements. The frame adapter part can be formed with a first opening part having a first geometry and / or dimension and a second opening part having a second geometry and / or dimension different from the first geometry and / or dimension. Hence, the flexibility of the installation can be increased even further and allows for building a frame assembly for many different applications. For example, the first opening part has rectangular cross section and the second opening part has circular cross section, wherein the frame assembly can be connected to a tube or conduit having circular cross section in an efficient manner.

[0013] The frame extension part can comprise a removable reinforcement element extending between opposite walls of the frame extension part. Hence, the frame extension part can be reinforced during casting of the partition to allow for more efficient use of material versus the radial forces applied to the frame extension part. Hence, the reinforcement element can prevent deformation of the frame extension part during casting into the partition. The reinforcement element can extend across the axially extending through opening of the frame extension part and can connect opposite walls of the frame extension part. The reinforcement element can be formed as a grid or as a cover, wherein the cover also may cover the through opening of the frame extension element before arrangement of cables and / or pipes through it. The reinforcement element can comprise a radially extending flange between the first and second end portions to further reinforce the frame extension element and also anchor the frame assembly in the partition. Hence, the flange can extend in a radial plane extending perpendicular to the axis of the frame assembly. The flange can extend circumferentially around an exterior surface of the walls of the frame extension part and can extend from the exterior of the walls in a direction away from the through opening.

[0014] The frame base part can comprise a removable cover element covering the through opening thereof. Hence, the removable cover element connects to the walls of the frame base part. The removable cover can connect to an interior surface of the walls. The removable cover can extend in a radial plane. The removable cover prevents debris, dust, liquid, such as water, or even gas, such as air, to pass through the through opening of the frame base part before installation of sealing modules and the compression unit inside the through opening. The removable cover is removed before installation of sealing modules in the through opening of the frame assembly. The present invention is also related to a method for obtaining an installation for leading one or more cables and / or pipes through a casted partition, comprising the steps of a) providing first and second casting structures for casting of the partition and forming a first face and an opposite second face of the partition, b) forming a frame assembly by connecting a frame extension part having a first end portion and an opposite second end portion to a frame base part having a first end portion and an opposite second end portion by engaging first fastening elements in the second end portion of the frame base part with second fastening elements in the first end portion of the frame extension part, wherein the frame extension part comprises third fastening elements in the second end portion thereof, c) optionally connecting further one or more frame extension parts by engaging the second fastening elements of one of the frame extension parts with the third fastening elements of the adjacent frame extension part, d) arranging the frame assembly formed in step b) or c) between the first and second casting structures, wherein a first end portion of the frame base part is connected to the first casting structure and a second end portion of the frame extension part or the outermost frame extension part of the frame extension parts is connected to the second casting structure, e) pouring a setting material between the first and second casting structures and around a circumferentially extending exterior surface of the frame assembly, and f) removing the first and second casting structures after setting of the setting material forming the casted partition.

[0015] The present invention is also related to a frame assembly for leading one or more cables and / or pipes through a casted partition, wherein the frame assembly has an axis, is configured to form an axially extending through opening in the partition and comprises a frame base part and at least one frame extension part connectable to the frame base part, wherein each of the frame base part and said frame extension part comprises a first end portion, an opposite second end portion and a through opening forming part of the axially extending through opening of the frame assembly, wherein the first end portion of said frame extension part is connected to the second end portion of the frame base part and forms an extension of the frame base part along the axis, wherein the frame base part and the at least one frame extension part are configured to be casted into the partition, characterised in that the second end portion of the frame base part comprises first fastening elements connected to second fastening elements of the first end portion of said frame extension part, and the second end portion of said frame extension part comprises third fastening elements similar to the first fastening elements for connection to the second fastening elements of a further and adjacent frame extension part.

[0016] The present invention is also related to a use of a frame assembly for leading one or more cables and / or pipes through a casted partition, wherein the partition has a first face and an opposite second face, wherein the frame assembly has an axis, is configured to form an axially extending through opening in the partition and comprises a frame base part and at least one frame extension part connectable to the frame base part, wherein each of the frame base part and said frame extension part comprises a first end portion, an opposite second end portion and a through opening forming part of the axially extending through opening of the frame assembly, wherein the first end portion of said frame extension part is connectable to the second end portion of the frame base part and forms an extension of the frame base part along the axis, wherein the frame base part and the at least one frame extension part are configured to be casted into the partition, wherein the second end portion of the frame base part comprises first fastening elements connectable to second fastening elements of the first end portion of said frame extension part, and the second end portion of said frame extension part comprises third fastening elements similar to the first fastening elements for connection to the second fastening elements of a further and adjacent frame extension part.

[0032] Detailed Description

[0033] With reference to Fig. 1 a frame assembly 10 for passing at least one cable and / or at least one pipe through a casted partition is illustrated schematically according to one embodiment. The frame assembly 10 is arranged for passing one or more cables and / or pipes through a partition in the form of a wall, a floor, a roof, a ceiling, an intermediate floor or similar. For example, the partition is formed by or includes a setting material, such as concrete or similar materials. For example, the frame assembly 10 is arranged for passing cables, such as cables for electricity, communication, computers etc., or pipes for different gases or liquids, such as water, compressed air, hydraulic fluid, cooking gas or other types of liquids or gases. The frame assembly 10 has an axis A (illustrated in Figs. 8 and 9). Cables and / or pipes are led in an axial direction through the frame assembly 10. The frame assembly 10 has an axially extending through opening and forms an axially extending through opening in the partition.

[0034] The frame assembly 10 comprises a frame base part 11 and at least one frame extension part 12. The frame base part 11 is also illustrated in Figs. 2-5. The frame extension part 12 is also illustrated in Figs. 6 and 7. For example, the frame base part 11 and the frame extension part 12 are formed in plastic material. In Fig. 1 the frame assembly comprises a single frame extension part 12. However, the frame assembly 10 can comprise a plurality of frame extension parts 12. Optionally, the frame assembly 10 also comprises at least one sealing gasket 13, such as in the form of a closed loop arranged at one end of the frame extension part 1 1 and / or arranged between the frame base part 11 and the frame extension part 12.

For example, the flange 14 is generally rectangular. Optionally, the flange 14 comprises locking means 16 for locking the flange 14 to a flange of an adjacent and similar frame base part. For example, the flange 14 is formed with four circumferential sides, each of said sides comprising locking means 16, such as radially extending locking tabs, for cooperation with corresponding locking means of adjacent frame base parts 11. For example, the locking means 16 are resiliently flexible due to the inherent properties of the material of the frame base part 11 , so that the locking means 16 can cooperate with corresponding locking means by a snap-lock mechanism.

[0037] The frame base part 11 is formed with at least one radially extending protrusion 17 arranged between the first end and the second end of the frame base part 1 1 . The protrusion 17 is arranged to anchor the frame base part 1 1 in the partition and prevent axial displacement thereof, i.e. along the centre axis A. Optionally, the protrusion 17 extends around the entire exterior circumference of the frame base part 11. For example, reinforcement plates 18 extend between the exterior surface of the frame base part 1 1 and at least one radially extending side of the protrusion 17 to reinforce the protrusion 17.

[0038] The frame base part 11 is provided or formed with a removable cover element 19 covering the through opening before installation of one or more cables and / or pipes, wherein said removable cover element 19 is removed before leading one or more cables and / or pipes through the frame assembly 10. The removable cover element 19 may be moulded together with the remaining parts of the frame base part 11. Hence, the frame base part 11 including the removable cover element 19 may be moulded in a single integrated piece. For example, the cover element 19 covers the entire through opening in a radially extending plane. According to one embodiment, the cover element 19 is connected to the walls of the frame base part 1 1 through breakable bridges or a breakable notch 20. The breakable notch 20 is illustrated in Fig. 2. For example, the cover element 19 is also provided with breakable notches 20 extending between comers of the cover element 19 and a centre of the cover element 19 to facilitate removal thereof before installation of cables and / or pipes in the through opening of the frame assembly 10.

[0039] The frame base part 11 is connectable to the frame extension part 12. The first end of the frame extension part 12 is connectable to the second end of the frame base part 1 1 by means of a plurality of fastening elements.

The frame base part 11 comprises a plurality of first fastening elements 21, wherein the frame extension part 12 comprises a plurality of second fastening elements 22 connectable to the first fastening elements 21 . The second end portion of the frame base part 11 comprises the first fastening elements 21, wherein the first end portion of the frame extension part 12 comprises the second fastening elements 22. Hence, the first and second fastening elements 21, 22 cooperate to fasten the frame extension part 12 to the frame base part 1 1. For example, the first and second fastening elements 21 , 22 are releasable, wherein the frame extension part 12 is detachable from the frame base part 11. For example, the first fastening elements 21 are distributed around the frame base part 11 , wherein the second fastening elements 22 are distributed around the frame extension part 12 in a corresponding manner. For example, each of the walls of the frame base part 11 comprises one or more first fastening elements 21. Each wall of the frame extension part 12 comprises one or more second fastening elements 22. For example, at least one of the first and second fastening elements 21, 22 comprises a resiliently flexible tab with a protrusion cooperating with a corresponding slot or corresponding tab of the other of the first and second fastening elements 21, 22. The resiliently flexible tab is, e.g. formed by inherent resilient properties of the material of the tab or the frame base part 11 and / or frame extension part 12. In the illustrated embodiment, the frame extension part 12 is formed with said flexible tab, wherein the frame base part 11 is formed with a slot for receiving the protrusion of said tab. It is understood that it could be the other way around, wherein the frame base part 1 1 is formed with said flexible tab and the frame extension part 12 is formed with a slot for receiving it.

In the illustrated embodiment, the third fastening elements 23 are arranged as slots for receiving tabs being similar to the tabs of the second fastening elements 22. Hence, the third fastening elements 23 can be used to fasten a further frame extension part 12 to the frame extension part connected to the frame base part 1 1 , so that the frame assembly 10 comprises a plurality of frame extension parts 12.

[0041] The frame extension part 12 comprises a removable reinforcement element 24 extending between opposite walls of the frame extension part 12. For example, the reinforcement element 24 is connected to the walls of the frame extension element 12 by means of breakable notches or breakable bridges. For example, the reinforcement element 24 is a moulded part of the frame extension element 12. For example, the reinforcement element 24 comprises at least one elongated supporting rod extending across the through opening and also extending between and connecting two opposite walls of the frame extension element 12. For example, the reinforcement element 24 and said supporting rod extends in a radial plane perpendicular to the axial direction. Optionally, said supporting rod is connected to one or more transverse supporting beams connecting two opposite walls of the frame extension element 12. For example, the one or more transverse supporting beams extends perpendicular to the one or more supporting rods. The one or more transverse supporting beams extend across the through opening. Hence, the reinforcement element 24 is formed as a cross or grid of the rod(s) and the beam(s) arranged in the through opening to support the walls of the frame extension part 12.

[0042] The frame extension part 12 is formed with at least one radially extending flange 38 arranged between the first end and the second end of the frame extension part 12. The flange 38 is arranged to be casted into the partition and anchor the frame extension part 12 to prevent axial displacement thereof, i.e. along the centre axis A, while reinforcing the walls of the frame extension part 12. Optionally, the flange 38 extends around the entire exterior circumference of the frame extension part 12.

[0043] Wit reference to Fig. 3 the frame assembly 10 is illustrated with a plurality of sealing modules 25 and a compression unit 26 for compressing the sealing modules 25 inside the frame assembly 10. For example, the sealing modules 25 and the compression unit 26 are arranged in the through opening of the frame base part 11. If applicable, the cover element 19 is removed before installation of sealing modules 25 and the compression unit 26 in the frame base part 11. Optionally, stayplates 27 are arranged between sealing modules 25 or rows of sealing modules 25. For example, the sealing modules 25, the compression unit 26 and the stayplates 27 are of conventional type. For example, the sealing modules 25 comprise two module halves with an axially extending through groove for receiving a cable or pipe. Optionally, the groove is provided with peelable sheets for adapting the diameter to the diameter of the cable or pipe in a conventional manner. The compression unit 26 comprises operable screws 28 or similar means for operating the compression unit to compress the sealing modules 25.

[0044] With reference to Fig. 8 the assembly 10 comprising the frame base part 11 and a single frame extension part 12 is arranged between a first casting structure 29 and a second casting structure 30. The casting structures 29, 30 are arranged for forming the partition between them. Hence, the first casting structure 29 is arranged with a gap 31 to the second casting structure 30, wherein the frame assembly 10 is arranged in said gap 31. The first end portion of the frame base part 11 is arranged in contact with the first casting structure 29. For example, the flange 14 of the frame base part 1 1 is fastened to the first casting structure 29, such as an inner surface of the first casting structure 29 facing an inner surface of the second casting structure 30. The second end portion of the frame extension part 12 is connected to or arranged in contact with the second casting structure 30. Optionally the sealing gasket 13 is arranged to seal between the frame extension part 12 and the second casting structure 30. Hence, the frame assembly 10 extends from the first casting structure 29 to the second casting structure 30, such as from the inner surface of the first casting structure 29 to the inner surface of the second casting structure 30. Then, a setting material, such as concrete, is poured into the gap 31 where it surrounds the exterior surface of the frame assembly 10. Then, the setting material solidifies and forms the partition. The casting structures 29, 30 are then removed and the frame assembly 10 is casted into the partition 32. The frame assembly 10 casted into the partition 32 is illustrated in Fig. 9. The frame assembly 10 forms a through opening through the partition 32. Optionally the removable cover element 19 is covering the through opening of the frame base part 11 , such as until cables or pipes are lead through the frame assembly 10. The partition 32 has a first face and an opposite second face. The frame assembly 10 extends from the first face to the second face of the partition 32. For example, the first end portion of the frame base part 1 1 is flush with the first face of the partition 32, wherein the second end portion of the frame extension part 12 is flush with the second face of the partition 32. In Fig. 9, the frame base part 11 and the frame extension part 12 are casted into the partition 32.
