摘要:
An asphalt distributor has a multispeed hydraulic motor mechanically driving an asphalt pump. The asphalt distributor has a controller for controlling the flow rate of asphalt being sprayed. The controller has a gain for controlling the flow rate. During a transition when the speed of the multispeed hydraulic motor changes, the gain has a value for the transition. Beneficially, the asphalt distributor has a wider than conventional asphalt spraying flowrate over which it provides a consistent spray. A method for controlling the flowrate involves adjusting, preferably dynamically, the value of the gain during the transition.

A roadway paving system for chipsealing a roadway surface comprising a novel roadway paving vehicle and a novel supply truck is provided. The roadway paving vehicle comprises an asphalt binder material dispensing system and an aggregate material dispensing system. The asphalt binder material dispensing system includes an asphalt tank and a sprayer that sprays a first layer of the asphalt binder material over the roadway surface. The aggregate material dispensing system comprises an aggregate hopper and conveyor mechanism that discharges a second layer of aggregate material over the roadway surface. No wheels run over a freshly laid surface. Supply trucks are linked to the roadway paving vehicle to refill the roadway paving vehicle on a continuous basis without the need of stopping the vehicle.
摘要:
A spread axle assembly for a trailer has the ability to pivot about itself to achieve a storage configuration that advantageously shortens the overall length of the trailer and reduces tire wear. It also has the ability to extend between a close position in which the rear axle of the trail is proximate to its axle and one or more spread or extended positions for better distribution of a load carried by the trailer.

FIG. 1 is a rear, right side, elevated perspective view of a handrail assembly for mounting to a portable tank of the present invention, the handrail assembly being in a folded position. FIG. 2 is a front elevation view of the handrail assembly. FIG. 3 is a left side elevation view of the handrail assembly. The right side elevation view is a mirror image of the left side elevation view. FIG. 4 is a top plan view of the handrail assembly. FIG. 5 is a bottom plan view of the handrail assembly. FIG. 6 is a rear elevation view of the handrail assembly; and, FIG. 7 is a left side elevation view of the handrail assembly showing it mounted to the portable tank. Dashed or dotted lines represent the operating environment and form no part of the claimed design. The shade lines in the figures show contour or flatness and not surface ornamentation.
摘要:
A vehicle for distributing a fluid or a solid material on or into the ground has one or more axles for supporting the vehicle on the ground, a vessel for holding the material to be spread on or into the ground, and a plurality of valves for controlling the lateral extent of distribution of the material on or into the ground. The vehicle may have a plurality of control switches for controlling the lateral extent of distribution of material and operative to control the opening and closing of different valves or different groups of valves of the plurality of valves. The vehicle may have an indicator for each valve or group of valves, the indicator operative to provide different indications for a plurality of different statuses for the corresponding valve or valves.
