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

Patent number: 10029525Abstract: The disclosure relates to a road finishing machine with a chassis and a pushing device. The pushing device comprises at least one docking assembly and at least one absorber unit. The absorber unit is fixed to the chassis of the road finishing machine and comprises at least one piston-cylinder unit which comprises a cylinder and a working piston movable therein which subdivides the piston-cylinder unit into at least one first and one second chambers and is coupled to the docking assembly. The docking assembly may be positioned, by the movably mounted working piston, relative to the chassis between an extended position and at least one retracted position. In the piston-cylinder unit, at least one flow channel is provided between the first and the second chambers for letting a fluid enclosed in the piston-cylinder unit pass through, the fluid being prestressed in the extended position.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2016Date of Patent: July 24, 2018Assignee: JOSEPH VOEGELE AGInventors: Tobias Gotterbarm, Thomas Schmidt
