Description
- The present disclosure relates generally to paving machines. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a walkway assembly for a paving machine.
- Paving machines are used for laying concrete and/or asphalt on various surfaces such as, a road surface, a bridge, a parking area, and the like. The concrete and/or asphalt laid on the surfaces is given an initial compaction using a screed coupled to the paving machine. The paving machine generally includes a walkway at a rear end of the screed. The walkway enables an operator to observe the paving operation. Additionally, the operator is able to control screed functionalities from the walkway since an operator control station is generally located in the vicinity of the walkway.
- The width of extendable screeds can be varied depending on a given paving job. The walkway needs to be adjustable along with the screed width to allow an operator standing on the walkway to properly monitor the paving operation and control the paving operation.
- There are several known ways to extend and retract the walkway. The extender walkway may slide relative to a main walkway to vary the width of the walkway on a roller which is mounted beneath the main walkway. However, during paving operation, asphalt debris and other obstacles may prevent or limit walkway movement, making it difficult to extend or retract when desired.

The extender walkway is configured to telescopically extend and retract relative to the main walkway. The wheel assembly includes a guard, a wheel, and a pin. The guard includes a first surface, a second surface, and a third surface. The second surface is substantially parallel to the first surface. The third surface extends between the first surface and the second surface. The third surface is substantially perpendicular to the first surface. The guard further includes a cavity extending from the first surface towards the second surface. The cavity includes a first opening in the first surface and a second opening in the third surface. The guard also includes an insert hole longitudinally extending from the second surface to the cavity. The wheel having a through hole is positioned inside the cavity of the guard. The wheel extends partially outwards from the guard through the second opening and is in a rolling contact with the extender walkway. The pin passes through the insert hole and the through hole to couple the guard and the wheel. The pin includes a first end and a second end. The wheel assembly is coupled to the main walkway by coupling the first end of the pin with the main walkway.
