Abstract: An apparatus for storing equipment is disclosed. The apparatus has a housing including a plurality of members configured to rotate relative to each other, about an attachment portion of the plurality of members, between a closed position forming an interior cavity and an open position, an assembly attached to the housing and configured to rotate relative to the housing, a shaping member attached to one of the plurality of members and configured to rotate relative to the one of the plurality of members, and at least one aperture extending through the one of the plurality of members. The shaping member is configured to removably receive the equipment.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus has a housing forming a housing cavity, an inflatable assembly attached to the housing, and a member attached to the inflatable assembly. When the inflatable assembly is deflated, the inflatable assembly is configured to be disposed in the housing cavity with the housing cavity covered by the member. When the inflatable assembly is inflated, the inflatable assembly extends away from the housing, the inflated inflatable assembly disposed between the housing and the member.

Abstract: A joint density assembly adapted for use on a screed. The preferred joint density assembly comprises an endgate having a vertical axis. The preferred endgate comprises a frame adapted to be mounted to the screed, a mounting means adapted to mount the frame to the screed, a pivoting shoe adapted to be pivotally adjusted, and a means for adjusting the pivoting shoe which is adapted to move the pivoting shoe between a retracted position and an extended position. The preferred pivoting shoe is adapted to pivot about the vertical axis of the endgate. A method for increasing the density of an asphalt longitudinal joint comprising providing a joint density assembly and adjusting the pivoting shoe.

Abstract: A joint density assembly adapted for use on a screed comprising an endgate having a vertical axis, a frame mounted to the screed, a mounting means adapted to mount the frame to the screed, and a fixed shoe, a bolt-on unit mounted to the screed and disposed between the screed and the endgate, and a means for adjusting the bolt-on unit between a downward position and an upward position. A method for increasing the density of an asphalt longitudinal joint comprising providing a joint density assembly and adjusting the bolt-on unit.
