Abstract
A head assembly for marking a line on a ground surface includes an outrigger structure adapted to be connected to a vehicle for movement over the ground surface, and a line-marking head connected to the outrigger structure. The outrigger structure is movable, in use, between a first position in which it deploys the line-marking head at an operational position which is offset to a side of the vehicle outside the bounds of the vehicle, and a second position in which it deploys the line-marking head at a retracted position which is inwardly of the operational position.
Claims28
Line marking apparatus comprising a vehicle for movement across a ground surface to be marked with a line, an outrigger structure connected to the vehicle, and a line marking head connected to the outrigger structure, the outrigger structure being movable between a first position in which the line marking head is deployed at an operational position which is offset to a side of the vehicle outside the bounds of the vehicle and a second position in which the line marking head is deployed at a retracted position located inwardly of the operational position relative to the vehicle, wherein the outrigger structure is pivotably mounted on the vehicle so as to be movable between the first and second positions only in a plane which is substantially perpendicular to the ground surface and so as to cause the line marking head to move in a plane substantially perpendicular to a direction of movement of the vehicle on the ground surface.
