Abstract
A hand guided vibrating roller includes a pair of front and rear roller wheels provided in parallel, a machine supported by the pair of the roller wheels, a hydraulic pump mounted on the machine, hydraulic motors for driving the roller wheels, provided inside the roller wheels, and a steering rod elongating from the rear portion of the machine. It further includes a supporting frame freely rotated around a vertical axis, supporting at least one of the roller wheels, and a steering cylinder for rotating the supporting frame.
Claims3
A hand guided vibrating roller comprising a pair of front and rear roller wheels provided in parallel, a machine supported by said pair of the front and rear roller wheels, a hydraulic pump mounted on said machine, a hydraulic motor for driving said roller wheels, provided inside said roller wheels, and a steering rod elongating from the rear portion of said machine, said hand guided vibrating roller comprising:
- a supporting frame freely rotated around a vertical axis, supporting at least one of said roller wheels;
- and
- an actuator for rotating said supporting frame,
- wherein said supporting frame is rotatively supported by a slewing rim bearing provided right above said roller wheel, and said hydraulic pump and said hydraulic motor for driving said roller wheel are jointed by hydraulic hoses inserted into a hollow portion of said slewing rim bearing.
A hand guided vibrating roller comprising a pair of front and rear roller wheels provided in parallel, a machine supported by said pair of the front and rear roller wheels, a hydraulic pump mounted on said machine, a hydraulic motor for driving said roller wheels, provided inside said roller wheels, and a steering rod elongating from the rear portion of said machine, said hand guided vibrating roller comprising:
- a supporting frame freely rotated around a vertical axis, supporting at least one of said roller wheels;
- an actuator for rotating said supporting frame;
- and
- an automatic roller wheel neutralizing apparatus comprising:
- a rotating position detecting means for detecting the rotating position of said roller wheel rotated in one direction around a vertical axis, and
- a neutral position restoring means for restoring said roller wheel to the straight forward traveling state by rotating said roller wheel in the direction opposite to the current rotating direction based on said rotating position detected by said rotating position detecting means.
