Abstract: A road finisher has a chassis and a floating laying beam, which is located behind the chassis. The beam includes a centrally divided basic beam, and extendable beams which can extend laterally from the basic beam and can be height-adjusted, with respect to the basic beam. The basic beam and the extendable beams are arranged offset one behind the other in the direction of travel. The height adjusting devices are adjusted automatically in such a way that they keep the respective rear edges of the basic beam and of the extendable beams in the same plane. A control signal for the height adjusting devices is derived from measured values for the setting angle of the basic beam. The control signal is picked up by a sensors on the front of the tie bars for measuring the distance from a reference plane independent of the road finisher, and utilized to determine the height of the rear edge of the basic beam and of the extendable extendable beams.

Abstract: A paver and a corresponding loader each have a chassis (1) which is provided, at the front in the paving direction, with a hopper (8) for receiving material to be paved and, at the rear, with a floating screed (4), a longitudinal conveyor device (7) being provided between the hopper (8) and a distributor auger (6) located in front of the screed (4) in the paving direction, the hopper (8) being open towards the longitudinal conveyor device (7) and including two hopper halves (9) which are each pivotable about an axis (21) extending adjacently to the longitudinal conveyor device (7) in the paving direction. Further, in each of the hopper halves (9) is provided a lateral conveyor device (12) which is drivable by a drive (13), is arranged on the bottom side and extends as far as the longitudinal conveyor device (7), those bottom portions (14, 19) of the hopper halves (9) which remain with regard to the respective lateral conveyor device (12) being tiltable relative to the lateral conveyor device (12).

Abstract: A paver (1) with a chassis (2) at the front in the paving direction, with a hopper (11) for receiving material to be paved and, at the rear, with a floating screed (5), two centrally arranged longitudinal conveyor devices (9,10) guided through a shaft (8) being provided between the hopper (11) and a distributor auger (7) located in front of the screed (5) in the paving direction, the hopper (11) being open relative to the longitudinal conveyor devices (9,10) and an additional conveyor device (33) for loading a hopper (12) of a following paver (13) being provided. One of the longitudinal conveyor devices (10) extends from the rear outlet of the shaft (8), beyond the screed (5) and to the additional conveyor device (33) and has a discharge end (14) which is fixed or adjustable to an appropriate height for loading the hopper (12). The longitudinal conveyor devices (9,10) are partitioned off from each other by a vertical separating plate (20).

Abstract: The invention relates to a road finisher with a chassis having a front bucket for receiving packing material and a conveying device for conveying the packing material from the bucket to a rear spreader screw arrangement which is arranged transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the road finisher and in front of a consolidation plank which is extendable, the consolidation plank, which is connected to the chassis via pulling arms and floats on the packing material, being divided centrally in the direction of the longitudinal axis into two plank halves, the consolidation plank being provided with a device for adjusting the inclination of two halves with respect to each other and having outer side cheeks. In order to counteract twisting of the consolidation plank and opening of the gap between the two plank halves, a clamping device, the clamping force of which can be set by a cylinder articulated on the chassis, is arranged between the chassis and the lower region of the outer side cheek.

Abstract: A method of compacting asphalt material having a mix of coarse and fine grains includes providing a paver which has, as compaction assemblies, two strip-shaped tampers which are arranged one directly behind the other in the direction of travel, each tamper being provided with a metering slope and each tamper being provided with a tamping surface thereon, each tamper being vertically reciprocated between an upper and lower terminal position, so as to cause the front tamper lower position to correspond substantially to the rear tamper upper position, whereby coarser grains in the asphalt mix are embedded and undergo minimal longitudinal displacement, as the paver moves.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vibratory packing plank for a road finisher, having a vibration unit, which comprises a vibration element exhibiting a large-area base plate and coupled to a vibration drive, and a guide plate positioned obliquely towards the base plate, a vibration strip being disposed between the guide plate and the base plate of the vibration unit, which vibration strip is coupled to the vibration drive and provided with a run-in slope.

Abstract: The invention relates to a laying plank for a road finishing machine comprising a basic plank (1) which exhibits two central upright cheeks (2) to which an extension cylinder (3) is attached on each side which guides an inner movable cheek (8) of an extensible plank (4) for the lateral prolongation of the basic plank (1) and engages an outer movable cheek (5) for extending, at least one guide rod (6) parallel to the cylinder axis being provided respectively between inner and outer movable cheeks (5, 8), which is guided by an outer cheek (7) connected firmly to the basic plank (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a laying plank for a road finishing machine, comprising a basic plank (1) which exhibits two central upright cheeks (2) to which a telescopic cylinder (3) is attached on each side which guides an inner movable cheek (8) of an extensible plank (4) for the lateral prolongation of the basic plank (1) and engages its outer movable cheek (5) for extension, guide rods (7) parallel to the cylinder axis being provided respectively between inner and outer cheeks (5,8) which are guided by an outer cheek (11) connected firmly to the basic plank (1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a laying plank for a road finishing machine, comprising a basic plank (1) which exhibits two central upright cheeks (2), on which an extension cylinder (3) is arranged on each side which is guided by an inner cheek (8) of an extensible plank (4) for the lateral prolongation of the basic plank (1) and engages its outer cheek (5) for extending, at least one guide rods (7) parallel to the cylinder axis being provided respectively between inner and outer cheeks (5, 8), which is guided by an outer cheek (9) located on the basic plank (1). In order that the basic plank (1) can be enlarged virtually to double width by the extensible planks, it is provided that the cheek (9) located on the basic plank (1) is constructed as a sliding block slidable relative to the basic plank (1) along a guide means (13) connected to the latter, the extending cylinder (3) being connected to the sliding block (9 ) and slidable.

Abstract: A road-finishing machine provided with a level-compensation arrangement. A directional wheel installed on each side of a frame includes an axle to which a vertical pin is attached. The pin is slidably and rotatably accomodated with a cylinder housing having a hydraulic fluid-filled chamber therein into which the top of the pin, shaped like a piston head, is placed. Veertical motion of the wheel and corresponding motion of the pin cause hydraulic fluid to be expelled from or drawn into the chamber. The chambers of the wheels on opposite sides of the frame are in communication with each other. Consequently, as one wheel rises, the other is forced downward by the compensating hydraulic fluid, and vice-versa, to attain a level compensation effect.

Abstract: The invention concerns a consolidating plank for a highway finishing machine the basic plank body of which is lengthenable by a manually attachable plank or by an extendible plank. For creating such a high compacting effect that a subsequent following compaction is saved, a stamp unit having at least two stamps is provided, which stamps have a common eccentric support.
