Abstract
Concrete texturing devices for use on an uncured concrete slab. The concrete texturing devices have a device body, one or more drive systems, at least one articulating arm, and at least one texturing structure. Also disclosed are methods of use.
Claims19
A concrete texturing device comprising:
- a device body with one or more drive systems extending therefrom where the one or more drive systems operate upon an uncured concrete surface;
- a first articulating arm and a second articulating arm where the first articulating arm extends from a first side of the device body and the second articulating arm extends from a second side of the device body;
- and
- a first texturing structure attached to the first articulating arm, opposite the device body, and a second texturing structure attached to a second articulating arm, opposite the device body and the first articulating arm and the second articulating arm each control an elevation of the first and second texturing structures, respectively, and a downward pressure is applied to at least one of the first and second texturing structures and the uncured concrete surface;
- wherein the first texturing structure and the second texturing structure add a texture to the uncured concrete surface;
- and
- wherein the one or more drive systems, the first articulating arm, the second articulating arm, the first texturing structure, and the second texturing structure operate above the uncured concrete surface.

A concrete texturing device comprising:
- a device body with one or more drive systems extending therefrom where the one or more drive systems operate upon an uncured concrete surface;
- at least one articulating arm where the at least one articulating arm extends from the device body;
- and
- a texturing structure attached to the at least one articulating arm, opposite the device body;
- wherein the texturing structure adds a texture to the uncured concrete surface;
- and
- wherein the one or more drive systems, the at least one articulating arm, and the texturing structure operate above the uncured concrete surface.
4 more elements
A method for texturing an uncured concrete slab, the method comprising the steps of:
- positioning a concrete texturing device on a concrete slab, the concrete texturing device comprising:
- a device body with one or more drive systems extending therefrom where the one or more drive systems operate upon an uncured concrete surface,
- at least one articulating arm where the at least one articulating arm extends from the device body, and
- a texturing structure attached to the at least one articulating arm, opposite the device body;
- lowering the texturing structure into the uncured concrete slab by way of the at least one articulating arm;
- traversing the uncured concrete slab with the concrete texturing device by way of the one or more drive systems with the texturing structure in the uncured concrete slab and adding a texture to the uncured concrete surface;
- wherein the concrete texturing device is operated remotely and wherein the one or more drive systems, the at least one articulating arm, and the texturing structure operate above the uncured concrete surface.
