Abstract
The object of the present invention is to provide means for instantaneous control, and to change the sealant pattern length when applying asphalt sealant material. This is accomplished through integrating controlled actuated wings into a squeegee design, with an additional rotary actuator for additional rotation control. The present invention consists of a base mounting frame with means of mounting the apparatus to road maintenance machinery, a main squeegee frame, a squeegee wing actuator arrangement, squeegee blades, means of attaching the squeegee blade to the apparatus, and a rotary actuator attached to the main frame for additional control.

(canceled)
A road-surfacing squeegee apparatus for the variable distribution and
- leveling of road surfacing material, to be mounted to a road-surface machine in such a way that the squeegee apparatus can trail the road-surfacing machine in order to instantaneously control, distribute and level the road surfacing material being applied as a top coat for protecting and sealing a road surface, comprising:
- a said main frame, a said rotating squeegee frame, and one or more pivoting squeegee wing actuator arrangement(s);
- the assembly includes a hydraulic rotary actuator to rotate the said rotating squeegee frame and one or more linear hydraulic actuator(s) to rotate one or more pivoting squeegee wing(s).
