FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b) . This conventional art is an art where ascreed device 7A of a type where behind the main screed 8 such as described above, first and second extendable screed 9 and 10 having a width approximately equal to the width of the main screed 8 are provided side by side in a paired fashion is additionally provided with a crown adjusting mechanism (not shown), and a required crown amount is set.FIG. 5(a) is a plan view andFIG. 5(b) is a rear view. Here, the crown amount is a value corresponding to an inclination angle θ of a screed lower face having the center of the screed lower face in a widthwise direction (a lateral direction inFIG. 5 (b) ) as a rotation center, as shown inFIG. 5(b) , and it is set in a range from plus to minus in order to achieve improvement of paving quality. A case of θ < 180° indicates a plus crown and a case of θ > 180° indicates a minus crown. Therefore, the case shown inFIG. 5(b) indicates a case where the minus crown has been set. - In the
screed device 7A of this type, however, in a case where the first and secondextendable screeds inner ends FIG. 5(b) , lower faces of the first and secondextendable screeds inner ends extendable screeds inner ends main screed 8 has leveled, which results in degradation of paving quality. - In the
screed device 7A of this type, extended states of the first and secondextendable screeds extendable screeds inner ends extendable screeds extendable screeds inner ends - Further, as a third conventional art, for example, there is one such as shown in
FIG. 6 . This conventional art is ascreed device 7B of a type where in such a case that first and secondextendable screeds extendable screed 9 is disposed in front of the main screed 8 and the secondextendable screed 10 is disposed behind themain screed 8. Even in thescreed device 7B of this type, when the first and secondextendable screeds inner ends extendable screed 10 disposed behind themain screed 8 but also the firstextendable screed 9 disposed in front of the main screed 8. - Patent Literature 1: Japanese Patent No.

FIG. 1(b) , the raising mechanism of a refraction up-and-down type is configured so as to raise the respectivescreed plates extendable screeds inner ends extendable screeds hinge portions - As a means for raising the respective screed
plates hinge portions extendable screeds - Next, an operation of the leveling device of a road paving machine according to this Example configured as described above will be described. Even if a crown amount is set to minus in such a state that the respective
inner ends extendable screeds inner ends inner ends extendable screeds extendable screeds hinge portions - Thereby, the lower faces in the vicinities of the inner ends of the pair of
extendable screeds inner ends extendable screeds extendable screeds extendable screeds main screed 20, so that therespective screed plates extendable screeds - As described above, in the leveling device of a road paving machine according to this Example, in the leveling
device 19 of a type where behind themain screed 20, the pair ofextendable screeds main screed 20 and extending and retreating in direction opposite to each other are arranged side by side back and forth, a minus crown paving work can be performed properly in a paving work width region where the respective inner ends 21a and 22a of the pair ofextendable screeds device 19 can be improved. - Since the raising mechanism is configured as the refraction up-and-down type, the lower faces of the pair of
extendable screeds main screed 20 securely, so that a proper minus crown paving work can be realized easily in a paving work width region where the respective inner ends 21a and 22a of the pair ofextendable screeds - Example 2 of the present invention will be described with reference to
FIG. 2 . In this Example, the above-descried raising mechanism is configured in a parallel up-and-down type. As shown inFIG. 2 , the raising mechanism of a parallel up-and-down type is configured so as to be capable of slide screed plats 21b and 22b in required length ranges on the side of respective inner ends 21a and 22a of a pair ofextendable screeds inner end extendable screeds screed plates screed plates - As a means for moving the
screed plates screed plates extendable screeds - In the leveling device of a road paving machine according to this Example, it is made possible to raise the lower faces of the respective
extendable screeds main screed 20 easily and securely by configuring the raising mechanism as the parallel up-and-down type and raising thescreed plates - As described above, in the leveling device of a road paving machine according to this Example, since the raising mechanism is configured as the parallel up-and-down type, it is made possible to raise the lower faces of the respective
extendable screeds main screed 20 securely and it is made possible to realize a proper minus crown paving work easily in a paving work width region where the respective inner ends 21a and 22a of the pair ofextendable screeds - Incidentally, the above-described Example 1 and Example 2 can also be applied to a leveling device of a type where a pair of
extendable screeds main screed 20 and a leveling device of a type where oneextendable screed 21 is arranged in front of amain screed 20 and the otherextendable screed 22 is arranged behind themain screed 20, such as shown in the above-describedFIG. 6 . Even in such a case that the leveling device is configured as one of the both types, the raising mechanism of the refraction up-and-down type or the parallel up-and-down type is provided on the sides of the respective inner ends 21a and 22a of the pair ofextendable screeds - Further, the present invention can be modified variously unless the modifications deviate from the spirit of the invention, and the invention includes the modified cases, of course.
- A leveling device which is provided with a main screed and a pair of extendable screeds having a width approximately equal to a width of the main screed, the leveling device being of either one of a type where the pair of extendable screeds are disposed behind the main screed, a type where the pair of extendable screeds are disposed in front of the main screed, or a type where one and the other of the pair of extendable screeds are disposed in front of and behind the main screed in a divisional fashion, can be widely applied to a leveling device including an asphalt finisher with an emulsion spraying function or without the same where it is essential to make it possible to perform minus crown paving work properly in a paving work width region where paving work in a minus crown has been impossible to achieve performance improvement, or the like.
