Abstract
A cement pouring device may include an elongate vessel supported by a frame. The frame may enable the vessel to cooperate with and be transported by a vehicle such as a skid steer. Due to the elongate shape of the device, it may be particularly suitable for depositing a cement charge at a distal pour site that would be difficult to access otherwise, or may only have been accessible manually with a conventional wheel barrow and shovel. This may be particularly advantageous in smaller pour jobs where equipment such as cement pumps are impractical or economically infeasible.
Claims19
A cement pouring device, comprising:
- an elongate vessel adapted to contain a wet cement mixture and having a frontal opening for dispensing the wet cement mixture;
- and
- a mounting plate disposed at a back end of the elongate vessel and adapted to engage a lift vehicle, wherein the mounting plate encloses the backend of the elongate vessel, and wherein the frontal opening of the elongate vessel is pitched upward relative to the mounting plate, by a longitudinal axis of the elongate vessel being non-perpendicular to the mounting plate.
A cement pouring device, comprising:
- an elongate vessel adapted to contain a wet cement mixture and having a frontal opening for dispensing the wet cement mixture;
- a support frame adapted to engage the elongate vessel in a fixed relation, and adapted to be mounted on a lift vehicle;
- and
- a mounting plate disposed at a rear of the device and adapted to reversibly engage a skid steer such that the skid steer may carry the device, wherein the mounting plate encloses the backend of the elongate vessel, and wherein the frontal opening of the elongate vessel is pitched upward relative to the mounting plate by a longitudinal axis of the elongate vessel being non-perpendicular to the mounting plate.
A cement pouring device, comprising:
- an elongate vessel adapted to contain a wet cement mixture and having a frontal opening for dispensing the wet cement mixture;
- a support frame adapted to engage the elongate vessel in a fixed relation, and adapted to be mounted on a lift vehicle, wherein the support frame includes a pair of longitudinal support beams spaced apart to form a pocket adapted to receive the elongate vessel and adapted to stiffen the elongate vessel against lateral flexion perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the elongate vessel, and wherein the support frame includes a plurality of lateral supports perpendicular to the longitudinal supports and tying the longitudinal supports together;
- a mounting plate disposed at a rear of the device and adapted to reversibly engage a skid steer such that the skid steer may carry the device, wherein the mounting plate encloses the backend of the elongate vessel, and wherein the frontal opening of the elongate vessel is pitched upward relative to the mounting plate by a longitudinal axis of the elongate vessel being non-perpendicular to the mounting plate;
- and
- a pair of oblique supports each having one end joined to an end of a lateral support, and an end joined to the mounting plate, and wherein each oblique support is oriented at an oblique angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the elongate vessel.
