  • Patent number: 5950934
    Abstract: The invention is a cement mixer sand spreader for applying a sand mixture to a roadway to enhance friction for motorized traffic passing over the roadway and to simultaneously lower a freezing temperature of the ice and/or snow on the roadway. One form of the invention includes two major components. The first is a self-propelled cement mixer vehicle having a powered barrel for rotatably storing the sand mixture, wherein the barrel defines a discharge outlet for discharging the sand mixture upon rotation of the barrel in a discharge direction. The second is a sand spreader having a hopper secured adjacent the discharge outlet of the cement mixer for receiving the sand mixture discharged out of the barrel, the sand spreader also having a powered spinner plate rotatably secured adjacent a discharge end of the hopper for spreading the sand mixture over a roadway whenever the sand mixture passes through the hopper and contacts the rotating spinner plate.
