Abstract:
A pit assembly comprises: a pit wall defining an inner surface, and an outer surface; a rail secured to the inner surface of the pit wall, the rail comprising: a top end, a bottom end, a first side end, a second side end, and an outer face defining a curved radially outer surface and mounted on the inner surface of the pit wall; a center-lock strike portion proximate to the first side end; and a side-lock strike portion distal from the first side end, a one of the center-lock strike portion and the side-lock strike portion defining a strike notch in the bottom end; and a lid defining an upper surface and a lower surface and comprising a locking mechanism, the locking mechanism coupled to the lower surface and configured to engage a one of the center-lock strike portion and the side-lock strike portion of the rail.

Claim (Index 1):
A pit assembly comprising:\n a pit wall defining an inner surface, an outer surface, an upper end defining a pit opening, and a lower end, the inner surface defining an interior cavity; a rail secured to the inner surface of the pit wall, the rail comprising:\n a top end defining a top surface, a bottom end distal from the top end and defining a bottom surface, a first side end, a second side end distal from the first side end, an outer face defining a curved radially outer surface extending from the top end to the bottom end and mounted on the inner surface of the pit wall, and an inner face distal from the outer face and defining a radially inner surface; \n a center-lock strike portion proximate to the first side end; and \n a side-lock strike portion distal from the first side end, a one of the center-lock strike portion and the side-lock strike portion defining a strike notch in the bottom end, a central wall of the strike notch offset from a one of a radially innermost portion of the radially inner surface and the bottom surface of the rail; and \n a lid defining an upper surface and a lower surface and comprising a locking mechanism, the locking mechanism coupled to the lower surface and configured to engage a one of the center-lock strike portion and the side-lock strike portion of the rail.
