Definitions

  • PETERS VIBRATING ROAD ROLLER 2 Sheets-Sheet 1 Filed June 22, 1964 n m F Jflwnlor- HERMH/V/V PETE Rs March 21, 1967 H. PETERS 3,309,972
  • This invention relates to a vibrating road roller for large working widths, which comprises roll wheels arranged one behind the other in the direction of travel.
  • Such special road rollers have a large structural expenditure and consequently high costs.
  • special regulations must be complied with during travel on rolls.
  • This road roller is very clumsy in operation and mode of travel.
  • the roller comprises at least two independently operable road roller units, which are coupled transversely to the direction of travel.
  • Individually operable road roller units having a relatively small working width are already known.
  • the invention is concerned with the assembling of such units in any desired number to provide a road roller having a large working width.
  • the units are pivotally movable relative to each other about an axis extending in the direction of travel, the road roller can adapt itself to the surface contour of the desired road. With such a roller, the subgrade of a cambered road may also be compacted.
  • the coupling comprises at least two coupling elements, which are arranged one bebind the other in the direction of travel.
  • FIG. 1 is a front elevation of a vibrating road roller according to the invention, for large working widths, which roller is assembled from two road roller units.
  • FIG. 2 is a top plan view showing the roller of FIG. 1, the parts protruding over the roll wheels being omitted.
  • FIG. 3 is a front elevation showing a road roller according to the invention, which consists of three road roller units.
  • FIG. 4 is an elevation similar to FIG. 2 and showing the roller of FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 5 is an enlarged side elevation showing coupling means.
  • FIG. 6 is a top plan view similar to FIG. 2 and shows a roller with a trailing roll.
  • the vibrating road roller for large working widths which is illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2, consists of two road roller units 1 of a type known per se.
  • Each road roller unit comprises two roll wheels 3, which are journalled one behind the other in a frame 2.
  • the frame 2 carries in a manner known per se a drive motor 4, which drives by means of a transmission 5 and a chain or gear drive 6 the roll wheels 3 and the rotary unbalance shafts, not shown, which are usually mounted in both roll wheels.
  • Each road roller unit 1 may be independently used for compacting subgrade in its inherent working width.
  • two such road roller units 1 are coupled together by means of two rigid rails 7, which are, e.g., bolted to the frames 2 of the two units.
  • the road roller formed by coupling the two road roller units can now operate on more than twice the previous working width.
  • Such a coupled road roller may be controlled by a single operator, who controls the two transmissions 5 with the aid of the usual control levers.
  • the direction of travel of such a coupled road roller may be controlled in a simple manner by the operator adjusting the two units to different speeds or to mutually opposite speeds, if a rotation on the spot is desired, as is indicated by the arrows in FIG. 2.
  • the road roller may be divided into its two units, which are then travelled individually.
  • roller units More than two roller units may be coupled together as described, for instance, three units, as is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
  • the coupling between the two units may be flexible.
  • FIG. 5 An example of such an arrangement is shown in FIG. 5.
  • the coupling consists of two straps 8 and 9, which are secured, e.g., by bolts 10 to the respective underlying frames 2, 2 of the roller units to be coupled.
  • a large angle member 11 is disposed with its angled sides vertical and is welded to a strap 8 adjacent the end of its underlying frame 2.
  • a small angle member 12 is disposed with its sides vertical and parallel to the respective sides of the angle 11, and welded to the end of a strap 9.
  • the angle members 11 and 12 are connected together by bolts 14, 14 and resilient spring members or pads 13 are arranged between the angle members on the bolts.
  • the frames of adjacent roller units are coupled together at their leading and trailing ends by the means shown in FIG. 5. This coupling permits of a certain pivotal movement of the two units about an axis extending in the direction of movement.
  • Each coupling may have attached to it a bracket or yoke such as yoke 16 in FIG. 6, which forms a horizontal bearing for smaller bridging rolls such as roll 13, which during operation bridge the space between the spaces acted upon by the roll wheels of adjacent units.
  • This arrangement will prevent a formation of an unrolled strip between the road roller units.
  • the subgrade adjacent to such strips is already compacted by the dispersion of the vibration of the road rolls of the roller units so that it will be sufiicient to smoothen any aggregate material which has been raised between the units.
  • the bridging rolls may suitably comprise a trailing roll, which is pivotally movable about a vertical axis. It is of advantage to spring-cushion the bridging or trailing rolls relative to the coupled frames of the roller units in order to avoid a danger of fracture.
  • FIG. 6 Such an embodiment is shown in FIG. 6, in which the rear coupling rail 7 carries a central vertical pivot 15, on which a yoke 16 is pivotally mounted.
  • the free ends of the yoke 16 carry a horizontal shaft 17 on which a trailing roll 18 is rotatably mounted, which extends laterally outwardly beyond the inside ends of the roll wheels 3 of both roller.
  • a vibrating road roller combine comprising a first power driven and separately operable and controllable road unit having a roller supporting frame and a pair of rollers arranged within said frame one behind the other and rotatably mounted on said frame, at least one second substantially similar road unit arranged alongside said first road unit with the axes of the respective rollers within the frame of said second unit substantially parallel to the axes of the corresponding rollers within the frame of said first road unit, a coupling member extending between said units at each end of said roller supporting frames of said first and second units and being secured to respective ends of said frames and holding said first and second units together for combined movement and preventing relative up and down movement of said units, said coupling member including a first set of straps each being separately secured at a respective end of said frame of said first road unit and a second set of straps each being separately secured to a respective end of said frame of said second road unit, a first angle iron member including two vertical divergent legs held to each of said first set of straps, a second angle iron member including two divergent vertical
  • a vibrating road roller combine including a yoke member pivotally mounted between the frames of said first and second units and extending rearwardly of said units, and a roller rotatably carried by said yoke member in a position to engage the ground in the area between said first and second road units.
