Patent number: 11479925Abstract: A limiting plate of a road paver is detachably attached to a traverse or to a chassis of the road paver to increase the basic working width. The limiting plate is arranged with variable spacing to a subgrade. In order to prevent a mix from flowing forwards in a direction of travel and at the same time improve the efficiency of a screw conveyor, in which a geometrically defined screw trough is formed, a limiting plate extension is arranged on the limiting plate so that it can be adjusted, particularly in the direction of the subgrade.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2019Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: JOSEPH VOEGELE AGInventors: Thomas Schmidt, Martin Seibel

Patent number: 10640931Abstract: A road finisher includes an undercarriage, a chassis, a hopper, a paving screed, and a lifting device for lifting the chassis relative to the undercarriage at least in a rear region of the road finisher. A locking element can be moved by a locking element actuator between a locked state, in which the locking element mechanically locks the chassis at a predefined transport height relative to the undercarriage, and a release state, in which the mechanical locking of the chassis is released at the transport height.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2018Date of Patent: May 5, 2020Assignee: JOSEPH VOEGELE AGInventors: Thomas Schmidt, Tobias Gotterbarm, Martin Buschmann, Martin Seibel

Patent number: 10472779Abstract: A road finisher including an undercarriage, a chassis, a hopper, a paving screed, and a lifting device for lifting the chassis relative to the undercarriage at least in a rear region of the road finisher. The lifting device comprises a rocker mounted rotatably around an undercarriage rotational axis at an undercarriage-side bearing surface and rotatably around a chassis rotational axis at a chassis-side bearing surface. The lifting device further comprises a length-variable adjustment member connecting a chassis-side link point to a rocker-side link point and configured to change a distance between the chassis-side link point and the rocker-side link point by changing its length to selectively lift or lower the chassis relative to the undercarriage. A distance between the chassis rotation axis and the undercarriage rotation axis is greater than a distance between the chassis rotation axis and the chassis-side bearing surface.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2018Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: JOSEPH VOEGELE AGInventors: Thomas Schmidt, Martin Seibel, Martin Buschmann, Tobias Gotterbarm

Publication number: 20190177927Abstract: The disclosure relates to a road finisher with an undercarriage with two traction tracks. The road finisher further comprises a chassis, a hopper, mounted on the chassis at the front of the road finisher with respect to a paving direction, for receiving paving material, and a paving screed, provided on the rear of the road finisher with respect to the paving direction, for compacting the paving material. This paving screed is attached to the chassis through pulling arms. The road finisher also comprises a lifting device which is designed to lift the chassis relative to the undercarriage at least in a rear region of the road finisher. The road finisher further comprises a material deflector, which can be pivoted relative to the chassis, and that is arranged between the two traction tracks.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2018Publication date: June 13, 2019Applicant: JOSEPH VOEGELE AGInventors: Thomas SCHMIDT, Martin SEIBEL, Philipp STUMPF

Patent number: 8480331Abstract: The invention relates to a road making machine with a running gear and at least one material deflector which is arranged in front of the running gear in the driving direction and which can be pivoted up and lowered. The road making machine includes a control system by means of which an operator can choose at least between a laying operating mode and a transport operating mode. The control system is adapted to automatically completely pivot the material deflector up in the transport operating mode, and to let the operator adjust the pivot position of the material deflector manually in the laying operating mode.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2012Date of Patent: July 9, 2013Assignee: Joseph Vögele AGInventors: Thomas Schmidt, Martin Seibel
