Abstract: An applicator for applying seamless flooring material to a subfloor is disclosed. The preferred embodiment includes a chassis steerably mounted on wheels which are propelled by hydraulic motors in series. A dispensing hopper on a frame is towed behind the chassis from a shaft on a steering column and enabled to move in three dimensions independent of the chassis. The hopper is supported by hopper wheels with an axle directly above a screed blade which distributes the flooring material dispensed out of the hopper. The height of each side of the hopper is independently adjustable on each side by screw-threaded rods and is not disrupted by lifting the hopper out of operation.
Abstract: An applicator for applying seamless flooring material is disclosed. The preferred embodiment includes a chassis steerably mounted on wheels. A hydraulic pump pumps fluid in series through hydraulic motors on the wheels to provide propulsion. A dispensing hopper is supported at the rear end of the chassis with the height of the hopper adjustable on each side. The applicator is part of a seamless flooring material application system, which additionally includes a forklift liftable dumpster, top-fillable with flooring material from mixing apparatus and positionable above the dispensing hopper of the applicator, and bottom-openable to dump the flooring material into the applicator hopper.
