Abstract
A vibration assembly is configured to be engageable with a concrete working tool through engagement of complementary or interengaging interface components. A variety of interface components can be used, and in some examples, the engagement between the interface components is placed under tension.
Claims20
A vibration apparatus for a concrete working tool, wherein the vibration apparatus comprises a vibration device within a housing wherein the housing has a housing surface that has an interface component configured so that engagement of a mating interface component on a concrete working tool limits movement of the vibration apparatus away from the concrete working tool, and wherein the engagement of the interface component on the housing and the mating interface component is placed under tension by a securement element.
A vibration apparatus for a concrete working tool, wherein the vibration apparatus comprises a vibration device within a housing wherein the housing has a base surface and a longitudinally extending channel in the base surface for receiving a mating interface component on a concrete working tool such that engagement of a mating interface component on a concrete working tool with the channel limits movement of the vibration apparatus away from the concrete working tool, and wherein the engagement of the channel on the housing with the mating interface component is placed under tension by a securement element.
A vibration apparatus for a concrete working tool, wherein the vibration apparatus comprises a vibration device within a housing wherein the housing has a base surface and a longitudinally extending channel in the base surface for receiving a mating interface component on a concrete working tool such that engagement of a mating interface component on a concrete working tool with the channel limits movement of the vibration apparatus away from the concrete working tool;
- and
- a securement element wherein the securement element and the channel are configured to place the engagement of the mating interface component in the channel under tension, wherein the securement element includes a pin threaded into the housing and into and out of the channel.
A vibration apparatus for a concrete finishing tool, wherein the vibration apparatus comprises a housing, a vibration device supported in the housing, a dovetail groove extending longitudinally in a wall supported by the housing, and a securement device including a portion extending adjacent the dovetail groove wherein the securement device is configured to place in tension an engagement between the dovetail groove and an interface component mating with the dovetail groove.
A vibration apparatus for a concrete finishing tool, wherein the vibration apparatus comprises a housing, a vibration device supported in the housing, a dovetail groove extending longitudinally in a wall supported by the housing, and a securement device including a portion extending adjacent the dovetail groove, wherein the vibration device includes a rotating element on an axis extending in a direction parallel to the dovetail groove, and wherein the dovetail groove is formed in a surface of the housing.
