Abstract: A device for spreading particulate material in an elongated path at a precise predetermined height. The device comprises a front panel extending vertically from an upper opening and then extending horizontally terminating at the forward edge of a lower opening. A rear panel extends vertically from the upper opening and terminates at a lower edge located at an elevation above the lower edge of the front panel. Side panels extend vertically and are coupled to the front and rear panels. The side panels have inwardly extending shoes with lower surfaces parallel with the lower edge of the horizontal portion of the front panel. An L-shaped bar is adjustably positioned adjacent to the lower edge of the rear panel for varying the height of the particulate material to be dispensed.

Abstract: Apparatus for slip-forming concrete to form a path comprising in combination a box having a front wall extending downwardly through the box, and a rear wall extending downwardly at an angle through the box to a location above the front wall, and opposing side walls coupling the front and rear walls extending downwardly to define the closed box having an upper opened end for receiving concrete and a lower opened end with a vertically disposed opened mouth defined by the vertical edges of the side walls and the lower edge of the rear wall, with the lower opened end having a smaller cross-sectional area than the upper opened end, and a screed for slip-forming the concrete, means for removably securing the screed at its edges to the side walls below the rear wall with the forward end of the screed being positioned at the opened mouth of the rear wall.

Abstract: The concrete path paver of the invention comprises a generally rectangular open-ended box having a front wall and an inwardly sloped rear wall rigidly connected between a pair of side walls to define a bottom opening. An adjustable screed is positioned underneath the sloped rear wall from the rearward side of the bottom opening and extends a significant distance beyond the lower edge of the rear wall to form a slip-form mold. A platform is affixed rearwardly of the rear wall above the screed allowing an operator to stand thereon and control the flow of concrete from the cement truck into the box. The concrete path paver further comprises an arcuate or flat plate affixed to the lower front edge of the front wall of the box. The front plate functions as a ski to push and smooth dirt along the path that may have been disrupted by the tires of the cement truck. Thus, the tire tracks made by the cement truck as it pulls the paver are filled in and smoothed over prior to the concrete being laid.
