Abstract
A paver mountable to a vehicle to provide propulsion and hydraulic power to the paver, wherein the paver includes: a drive system coupling for mounting the vehicle to the paver; hydraulic mounts to connect with hydraulic power from the vehicle; a solids handling assembly for receiving paving material and for delivering paving material to a paving site; a screed assembly with a screed plate which is hydraulically adjustable in extension, height and grade; wherein, paving material delivered to the paving site is shaped by the screed assembly as the paver is propelled forward to produce a paved surface.
Claims18
A paver mountable to a vehicle to provide propulsion and hydraulic power to the paver, wherein the paver includes:
- a drive system coupling for mounting the vehicle to the paver;
- hydraulic mounts to connect with hydraulic power from the vehicle;
- a solids handling assembly for receiving paving material and for delivering paving material to a paving site;
- a screed assembly with a screed plate which is hydraulically adjustable in extension, height and grade;
- a mounting bracket operatively connected to the screed assembly;
- a first hydraulic ram;
- a screed mount operatively connected to the mounting bracket and to the screed assembly, wherein the screed mount includes one or more first collars in sliding attachment with one or more first guide rails, said first guide rails being rigidly attached to the mounting bracket such that the first hydraulic ram acts on the screed mount to adjust the position of the screed mount along the first guide rails to adjust the height of the screed assembly;
- wherein,
- paving material delivered to the paving site is shaped by the screed assembly as the paver is propelled forward to produce a paved surface.
A paver mountable to a vehicle to provide propulsion and hydraulic power to the paver, wherein the paver includes:
- a drive system coupling for mounting the vehicle to the paver;
- hydraulic mounts to connect with hydraulic power from the vehicle;
- a solids handling assembly for receiving paving material and for delivering paving material to a paving site;
- a screed assembly with a screed plate which is hydraulically adjustable in extension from the solids handling assembly;
- wherein,
- paving material delivered to the paving site is shaped by the screed assembly as the paver is propelled forward to produce a paved surface, and wherein
- the paver includes a screed mount fixedly attached to the solids handling assembly and configured with one or more collars in sliding attachment with one or more guide rails fixedly attached to a mounting bracket, which is operatively connected to the screed assembly such that the height of the screed assembly is hydraulically adjustable by sliding the guide rails through the collars.
