Abstract: A vibration tamper for compacting subsoil comprises a superstructure and a substructure, with the superstructure comprising a motor and an eccentric disk which is driven by the same. A connecting rod is eccentrically mounted on the eccentric disk, which connecting rod converts the rotational movement into a linear movement. The substructure comprises a tamper foot with a tamper plate which is driven by the linear movement of the connecting rod into a tamper movement along a tamper axis. As a result of the bent portion of the connecting rod, the tamper axis is disposed in a plane which is disposed parallel to a plane opened up by the bearing of the connecting rod on the eccentric disk against a direction opposite of the advancing direction of the vibration tamper.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an actuating device for a soil compaction device with an internal combustion engine, such as a vibration tamper, for joint actuation of an engine stop switch and a tank shut-off valve. It is provided that the actuating device comprises one single movable actuating means or element for the direct joint actuating of the engine stop switch and the tank shut-off valve. The invention further relates to a soil compaction device with such an actuating device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a vibrating tamper for soil compaction, which has a superstructure having a drive motor and a substructure having a tamper plate driven by the drive motor, the tamper plate being fastened on a tamper foot associated with the substructure, and this tamper foot being mounted so it is linearly movable on the vibrating tamper using a guide element. It is provided that the tamper foot is implemented integrally with the guide element.

Abstract: An apparatus for soil compaction, such as a vibration tamper, comprises a substructure having a tamper foot and a bottom guide cylinder arranged thereon, and a superstructure having a housing, an upper guide cylinder arranged thereon and at least one drive unit which is in operative connection via a drive train with the tamper foot in the substructure in such a way that it can be moved relative to the superstructure along at least one compaction axis (Av) with at least one compaction amplitude (a), with at least one stop element being arranged between the superstructure and the substructure, which stop element will stop the movement of the substructure relative to the superstructure upon exceeding a maximum compaction amplitude (amax).
