Patent number: 8622165Abstract: A building machine, especially a road finishing machine, comprising a presence detection system. The presence detection system comprises a sensor which is integrated in the control panel of the building machine. By means of the sensor a distance measurement can be carried out, which determines whether the operator is properly seated on the driver's seat of the building machine or whether he stands properly at the standing work place. In order to determine the presence a tolerance range may be specified, which allows a slight movement of the operator on the driver's seat. If the operator approaches the limits of the tolerance range he is asked in time by warning signals to be seated again properly on the driver's seat or adopt a proper position at the standing work place. If the sensor detects no operator on the driver's seat or at the standing work place all of the functions of the building machine are stopped in order to make sure that the work site is safe.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2013Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: Joseph Vogele AGInventor: Klaus Oettinger

Publication number: 20130092512Abstract: A belt conveyor for a road-finishing machine or a charger. The belt conveyor includes a conveyor belt in which a displaceably mounted support element abuts the conveyor belt, and a first and a second piston cylinder unit operate to displace the support element. The first and the second hydraulic piston cylinder units can be pressurised independently of each other in order to move the support element into a desired inclined position. If the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor runs laterally away from the support element, the out-of-true running of the conveyor belt can be counteracted by an inclined position of the support element which moves the conveyor belt back into its original position.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2011Publication date: April 18, 2013Applicant: JOSEPH VOGELE AGInventors: Martin Buschmann, Steffen Fickeisen, Andreas Letz, Joschka Neumann
