  • Patent number: 6712218
    Abstract: A soil screening device includes a screen frame having a screening surface, and a supporting frame. The supporting frame may have rearwardly disposed rigid uprights supporting the screen frame. The screen frame is pivotally mounted to a first upper member mounted at an upper end of the uprights, for pivoting between a lowered position and an elevated position. The supporting frame has a base frame extending forwardly of the uprights. Upper members of the base frame have at least one wedge selectively positionably mounted thereon, for example atop the upper member of the base frame. The wedge or wedges are positionable to engage a lower edge of the screen frame when in the lowered position bearing down on an upper inclined surface of the wedge or wedges. The wedge or wedges are selectively positionable relative to the upper members of the base frame so as to selectively adjust an angular orientation of the screen frame relative to the uprights.
