Abstract: A road paver (10) and a loader and a homogenizing mechanism (17) which permit optimum quality of the road building material without the operation of the road paver (10) or of the loader being impaired. Road coverings are customarily produced from materials such as asphalt by means of road pavers (10). In order to ensure optimum durability of the road covering produced, the road building material is homogenized by mixing devices prior to being laid. The continuous mixing of the road building material requires a very large amount of energy and results in severe wear phenomena in the mixing devices.

Abstract: Feeding appliances have an elongate continuous conveyor (14) which serves as a distributing conveyor. The distributing conveyor is required only in certain usage situations. Said distributing conveyor must thus be detached when not in use. Detachment is also required for the transportation of the feeding appliance by road. In the case of known feeding appliances, the attachment and detachment of the longitudinal conveyor (17), which serves as distributing conveyor, is cumbersome. The invention provides for the longitudinal conveyor (17) to be connected to a running gear (12) of the feeding appliance by being hooked on or hooked in. This can be realized by virtue of the longitudinal conveyor (17) being simply lowered or raised by a suitable lifting means, for example a crane. Time-consuming and difficult alignment work is thus eliminated.
