Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a modified mouldboard and attachment means for use on grading apparatus. The mouldboard (1) is modified to posses two opposing blade edges (3, 4), and connects to the grading apparatus a connection point (5) allowing rotation by 150° or more about a substantially horizontal axis, and by virtue of inclination control means connected to an inclination attachment point (8). This arrangement allows the top (3) and lower (4) edges to be alternated lowermost to make ground contact. A rotary joint, present on most grading apparatus, allows the mouldboard (1) to be rotated about a substantially vertical axis to allow the front of the mouldboard (1) to face forwardly, as required, regardless of which edge (3, 4) is lowermost.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a machine for spreading materials on the ground. The inventive machine comprises a structural assembly which is disposed on three independent wheel assemblies (2, 3, 4) which can be individually and selectively connected to a hydraulic drive system. The aforementioned structural assembly comprises a head (10) for distributing and levelling the materials to be applied, which is arranged such that it can move laterally in relation to the mounting position at the front of the machine.
Abstract:
Multifunction auxiliary tool comprised of a levelling blade (1) with vibrating shoes (11) for making road embankments and providing other types of fine grading. The tool is designed to be combined with various units such as adjustable flaps (25), mechanical bucket (58), hydraulic bucket (66) and fine grading means, for transporting, levelling, mixing and compacting with the vibrating shoe (11). Compression means (49) are used to apply pressure on the materials levelled by the blade (1).
Abstract:
A sand bunker rake/infield groomer vehicle (20) having a frame (24); a plurality of wheels (26) to traverse a driven surface, wherein the wheels are rotatably mounted to the frame; a power source mounted to the frame; and a rear attachment structure (36) attached to the frame, wherein the rear attachment structure provides a joint (46) enabling rotation; a bracket (50) including a shaft (54) wherein the bracket is configured to cooperate with an associated rake/grooming attachment (68); and a pivoting bracket (64) mounted to the frame.
Abstract:
A self propelled machine for use in construction, the apparatus including a mounting unit; propulsion means associated with said mounting unit for moving said mounting unit over the ground or support surface; a boom associated with said mounting unit; an attachment portion associated with an outer portion of said boom; at least one attachment devices adapted to engage with the attachment portion of the boom; and a control system including at least one computer and at least one sensor to provide information to the control system, the computer system having at least one set of preset parameters for use of each of the at least one attachment device and the machine based upon the use to which the at least one attachment device is to be put.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for smoothing or levelling a ground surface wherein a smoothing or levelling material is laid on a ground surface in that a box-like device(1) filled with material (18) is moved forwards, the material being allowed to exit a plate (4)-adjustable rear opening in the box-like device (1) and to come to lie in a strip, and a blade (9) mounted on the box-like device after the opening spreads the material on the ground surface, the blade (9) being capable of being raised and lowered together with the plate (4), The blade (9) is raised and lowered with an adjustable reduction ratio relative to the plate (4), by means of a lever/parallelogram arrangement (6,7,8) which connects the blade (9) and the plate (4).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a multi-functional finishing and levelling machine which includes a rocking hopper (11) into which various materials are poured which flow in the opposite direction to that of the finishing and levelling operation. The machine also includes holding doors (15) which can be opened as required to allow through a flow proportional to the layer of material to be spread out. Said doors (15) are integral to a levelling device set into a chassis assembly which is linked to a thickness compensation system. This system includes tracks (26) inclined to the rear, linking parts (25) which support the levelling device assembly and doors (15). Said levelling device has a levelling blade (19), located to the rear of said doors, which performs the surfacing operation and which is mounted onto an articulated chassis (20). The chassis also supports runners (40), situated to the rear of the blade (19), which are independent of each other and which pivot (41) in such a way as to exert a pressure on the materials levelled by the blade (19).
Abstract:
A grass treatment system (100) includes a first ground engaging rolling element (108), a second ground engaging rolling element (110), a comb (104) having a leading edge including a plurality of comb teeth (704) spaced apart at intervals (706), the comb is mounted between the first and second rolling elements and transversely to a direction of travel, a substantially cylindrical brush (102) positioned above the comb and configured to engage at least a portion of a top surface of the comb, wherein the brush rotates relative to the comb to propel debris lifted from an area of turf grass (106) by the comb. A method of removing debris from an area of turf grass is also disclosed.
Abstract:
Due to the increasing rainfall (rain, l/s, m 2 ) lately, the problem of drainage of torrential surface water from sections of gravel roads with longitudinal slope should be dealt with more efficiently than it was the case with road construction with transverse slope. By installing permeable channels with trapezoidal cross-section with higher permeability comparing to the unbound surface layer of road structure, the road life-cycle increases. The installation of channels slightly increases investment costs of the road construction. Trapezoidal cross-section should lead to the stability of channels installed in the layers of road pavement structure, whereas the crushed stone filling which is less dense than the surface wear layer of road pavement structure (mainly a cavity to accept water) enables the sinking of torrential water from the pavement structure and discharge away from the road.
