  • Integrated carriage lighting system for concrete pavers
    Patent number: 9341327
    Abstract: A concrete paver comprising a workbridge, which moves along a path to be paved. A carriage mounted on and reciprocating along a longitudinal axis of the workbridge, which is orthogonal to the path to be paved. A plurality of electrical lights disposed on and illuminating a surface which is fixed relative to the carriage, but variable or moving with respect to the workbridge. The electrical lights providing a substantially constant illumination to workers who work with the concrete surface as the carriage moves along the workbridge.

  • Integrated carriage fogging system for concrete pavers
    Patent number: 9328466
    Abstract: A concrete paver system with a reconfigurable hydration system which utilizes a plurality of individually flow controllable spray nozzles, which are clamped on support structures, which also support objects being dragged across a top surface of concrete which is being finished. The plurality of flow controllable spray nozzles being configured to be moved about said hydration system so as to change a pattern of water vapor application, all without the use of tools.
