Single operator trenching pipe laying device and method

A Trenching Pipe Laying Device comprising the following:

• an extruder main body (100) which is the structural shell of the device;
• and,
• a rolled pipe turntable (120) which holds a spooled conduit, cable or spooled pipe;
• and,
• a turntable arm (130) which is elongated and constructed from a rigid material, including metals and other rigid structural materials is affixed to the rolled pipe turntable (120) and is removably connected to the main body (100);
• and,
• a trenching bucket lifting coupler (1020) is attached to the extruder main body (100);
• and,
• geotextile fabric holder brackets (1090) are attached to the outside of the extruder main body (100) to which are affixed, primarily by mechanical devices, a geotextile fabric door (1110) having a geotextile fabric door handhold (1120) and geotextile slide plates (1130) which allows geotextile fabric to roll freely as pipe laying proceeds;
• and,
• an extruder skid plate (1150), located at the bottom of the device main body (100), has a large center opening to allow the weight of leach line aggregate to be supported inside the trench bottom instead of the device;
• and,
• a pipe intake cone (1160) is located in the upper vertical wall of the extruder main body (100) and connects to a upper pipe sleeve (1170);
• the pipe intake cone (1160) guides the flexible pipe into the upper pipe sleeve (1170) and the upper pipe sleeve (1170) is attached to the pipe intake cone (1160) and a telescope sleeve cross member;
• the upper pipe sleeve (1170) allows the pipe to feed down through the aggregate stored in the extruder main body (100);
• and,
• a lower pipe sleeve (1180) is attached to the lower pipe sleeve mounts and rests inside the telescope sleeve cross member;
• the lower pipe sleeve (1180) delivers the pipe through the aggregate to the proper vertical location within the leach line extrusion;
• and, the telescope sleeve cross member (1190) is attached to the inside of the vertical side walls of the extruder main body (100) and the upper pipe sleeve;
• and,
• an extrusion exit opening, at the lower rear of the main body (100), dispenses aggregate and pipe via the lower pipe sleeve (1180);
• where both aggregate and pipe are covered with a geotextile fabric and the trenching proceeds.
