ABSTRACT:
A covering for a ground opening includes a frame in which a cover can be inserted. The frame has a recess for receiving a retaining web shaped onto the edge of the cover. A niche with a sloping bearing surface is formed in the frame at a distance from the recess. The cover has a cam. When the cover is in the closed position, a supporting wall provided on the cam formed on the cover edge rests on a bearing surface of the frame, so that, on closing the cover, the later is moved in the direction of the recess and assumes a locked position. Thus, the cover is held in a clearance-free manner in the frame.
