  • Patent number: 11781273
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a ground compaction apparatus for compacting a subsoil cover layer, with at least one compaction roller, a cover edge processing apparatus comprising an edge processing roller and having a cut material deflector, the cut material deflector being mounted on the cover edge processing apparatus with the aid of a mounting device, the mounting device being configured such that the relative position of the at least one material guide surface of the cut material deflector can be changed automatically with respect to the adjustable roller holding device of the cover edge processing apparatus. The present invention also relates to an asphalt roller having such a ground compaction apparatus and a method for operating such a ground compaction apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20230143004
    Abstract: A tandem roller for compacting an underlying ground, comprising a machine frame supported by a front compaction drum with respect to a direction of travel and a rear compaction drum with respect to the direction of travel, the rear compaction drum being spaced apart from the front compaction drum in a longitudinal machine direction, and an operator platform with a driver's seat oriented in the direction of travel, the driver's seat being displaceable by means of an adjusting device from an operating position at a center of the operator platform with respect to the horizontal extension of the operator platform transverse to a forward direction in the direction of at least one side of the tandem roller transversely to the longitudinal machine direction to at least one defined first operating position and in the same direction to the side to at least one defined second operating position, the defined second operating position being spaced farther apart from the center of the operator platform than the defined fi

  • Patent number: 8888405
    Abstract: A road roller is described comprising a front carriage and a rear carriage, which are interconnected by an articulated swivel joint, wherein the front carriage and the rear carriage each comprise a front carriage frame and a rear carriage frame. The front carriage frame and/or the rear carriage frame consist of beams including a main beam, which extends horizontally along the longitudinal median plane of the road roller and at one end of which the articulated swivel joint is disposed, and comprises two side beams diverging from the free end of the main beam to form a ā€œVā€. Disposed thereon are the supports for supporting the drums, wherein the side beams are upwardly oriented.
