Description
- This application is a continuation in part of provisional application 61225489, filed Jul. 14, 2009.
- The present invention relates generally to the field of roadway paving equipment and more specifically to the field of pavement-shaping devices.
- As used herein: “pavement” refers to any material—including, without limitation, asphalt concrete, Portland cement concrete, soil, or gravel—laid down over a pre-existing roadway; “roadway” refers to any surface on which a paving machine (paver) may be driven including, without limitation, streets, roads, highways, driveways, bicycle paths, jogging paths, and runways; “paving” refers to the process of laying down pavement.
- In a wide variety of applications, pavement-shaping devices are used to produce a desired shape at the edge of a paved roadway. Often, the desired shape provides a ramp to allow vehicles to more easily and more safely regain the roadway after inadvertently driving off the edge.
- Typically, a conventional pavement-shaping device uses a planar pavement-shaping surface to produce a planar ramp. It is believed, however, that a convex ramp, produced by a concave pavement-shaping surface, has several advantages over the planar ramp including, without limitation, larger load capacity, longer life, and a smoother, more comfortably driven transition from ramp to paved roadway.
- Typically, a conventional pavement-shaping device mounted to a paver's screed extension, is free to move in a plane parallel to the screed extension. Such motion often allows pavement to become trapped between the conventional pavement-shaping device and the paver's endgate and necessitates a work stoppage for repair. Preventing such motion keeps the gap between the pavement-shaping device and the endgate small enough to prevent pavement from being trapped and thus improves paver mission reliability.
- Typically, a conventional pavement-shaping device is asymmetrical, necessitating different designs for mounting on the left and right sides of the paving machine and requiring both designs be purchased if paving in both directions is desired. By enforcing the proper symmetry, however, a single symmetrical design can be assembled for mounting on either the right side or left side of the paving machine.
- Opportunities exist, therefore, to provide an improved pavement-shaping device with one or more of the following features: produces a convex ramp, prevents motion in the plane parallel to the screed extension, allows mounting on either the right side or left side of the paving machine.
- The opportunities described above are addressed, in one embodiment of the present invention, by an apparatus for shaping pavement, the apparatus comprising: a pavement-shaping member for receiving a flow of shapeless pavement material and generating a flow of shaped pavement material; and a paving machine mount, operably coupled to the pavement-shaping member, for coupling the pavement-shaping member to a paving machine, the pavement-shaping member comprising a concave pavement-shaping surface being disposed at a pavement ramp angle less than about 45 degrees and having a single radius of curvature less than about 60 inches.
- These and other features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become better understood when the following detailed description is read with reference to the accompanying drawings in which like characters represent like parts throughout the drawings, wherein:
-
