Patent number: 11753778Abstract: An adjustable paving machine includes a first frame portion having a plurality of walls, and a variably expandable portion having a plurality of walls and being operably coupled to the first frame portion. The adjustable paving machine also includes at least one brush affixed to at least one of the first frame portion or the variably expandable portion. The first frame portion and the variably expandable portion together form a containment basin configure to confine a paving material deposited into the containment basin. The variably expandable portion is configured to laterally move relative to the first frame portion to change a width of the containment basin. The at least one brush is disposed inside of the containment basin and configured to spread the paving material on a paving surface.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2021Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Idaho Asphalt Supply, Inc.Inventors: Douglas Ray Olsen, Huachun Zhai, Devin Glenn Crighton
