Abstract

A cover height adjuster which can be used for a boundary box, a manhole cover, etc. in a paved location having two rings with interengaging sloping castellated end surfaces extending around the peripheries of at least three sectors of the rings and can vary the height of the upper ring upon its rotation over the lower ring. The upper surface of the upper ring may have a slope which engages a sloping surface of a cover assembly, so that relative rotation can also vary the slope of the cover.
