  • Publication number: 20250092617
    Abstract: A limiting plate assembly for a road paver includes a limiting plate, swiveling device, and locking device. The limiting plate is attached to a component of the road paver via the swiveling device. The limiting plate is rotatable about the swiveling device between a minimum limiting plate position and a maximum limiting plate position. The locking device is adapted to adopt a first locking position and a second locking position. The locking device is adapted, in the first locking position, to block the rotation of the limiting plate about the swiveling device in the direction of the minimum limiting plate position, when the limiting plate is in a first limiting plate position and, in the second locking position, to block the rotation of the limiting plate about the swiveling device in the direction of the maximum limiting plate position, when the limiting plate is in a second limiting plate position.

  • Patent number: 10843638
    Abstract: A remote control holder is provided for a road finisher, in particular for a paving screed of the road finisher. The remote control holder is configured to hold a first remote control and a second remote control, the remote controls comprising control elements for controlling functions of the road finisher. The remote control holder comprises two wings that each have a receiving tray, and each wing is intended to receive a remote control in the receiving tray. The wings are pivotable between a first position, in which the wings are arranged substantially flat next to each other and the remote control holder is open, and a second position, in which the wings are substantially pivoted to each other and the remote control holder is closed.
