Anotherobject of this inventio n is'lto provide a machine which will remove 'the fillingmaterial from .expansion and contraction joints in concretepavin-g.
Thesean'd other more detailedand specific objects will be disclosed in'the course of the following specification, :reference "beinghad'to the accompanying drawing, in 'Which- Fig. 1 is a sideelevation ofaccutting machine embodying the invention.
.Fig.i2.is.a front end viewof 'the .machine shown in Fig. "1 with some parts cut away "for clarity of'illustration.
Fig. 3 is a section View of a material removing blade which can be used in the machine shown in Fig. 1 when it is desired to remove material from contraction or expansion joints.
Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the blade shown in Fig. 3.
Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail of Fig. 3.
Referring now more particularly to the drawing, the machine embodying this invention includes a base plate 6 which has attached thereto an axle structure 7 upon which semi-pneumatic wheels 8 and 9 are rotatably mounted. The forward end of the base plate is supported on a castering wheel 11 which has a vertical spindle 12 pivotally attached thereto. The upper end of spindle 12 has a head member 13 attached thereto and forms the piston of a hydraulic ram 14. The cylinder 16 of the hydraulic ram is threadablyengaged with a coupling member 17 carried by a housing member 18 attached to the front end of the base. plate 6. An engine 19 is attached to base plate 6 as by bolting.
An arbor 21 is journaled in bearings 23 and 23 attached to the forward end of base plate 6. A multiple groove pulley 24 is attached to spindle 21 to revolve therewith. Pulley 24 is drivenly connected to multiple prior art.
"pulley 26 which -.is drivenly connected to -mdtor 119 .by
means of "multiple V belt drives 27. p
A cutting wheel.28 is removably attached .to arborf21. As indicated in-the drawings wheel 28-is :attached onfthe 'right'hand end of spindle'21,'but if. desired wheeli28ca'n be attached to the le'ftihand end; it i.being.a.mere \matter of convenience as to which side of the.machine-.,the
wheel is to be positioned on. The cutting wheellitslf has diamond particles embedded in the periphery of :the
metal wheel and 'forms .no part of Ithis invention in itself as diamond cutting wheels are well"know'niin.the A removable metal [guard .25 is attached "to base ,plate "6. Metal guard "25 ,partly encircles :cutting 'wheel'28 and can be removedfor attachment toeither side of'base 'plate '6 depending on which sideittisfdesired to position cutting wheel.2'8.on.
Attached to the rear end ofbase plate 6lis. a water tank '29 which has an 'outlet pipe 3.0 connected lto .a
'valve 31 having a control rod '32 extending upwardly adjacentthe top of the water tank. .The outlet 'end of valve 31 is connected to a nozzle member 33 by.means of a tube or hose 34. Nozzle member "33is1carried by blade guard 25 'adjacent cutting wheel "28 in position to spray Water on cutting-wheel'28 duringcutting operation of the'machine. .:Nozzle.member'33 "remains attached to bladeguard 25 and is shiftablelherewith when the cutting wheel ismoved to the oppositeside.
A hydraulic pump 36 of conventional design Sis -at- 'tached'to the upper portion of Watertank 29. .Purnpf36 is actuated'by operating lever 37 which'ispos'itionedadjacent the'hand rail 38 ontheback end of the water tank. Pump 36 has.a control valve (not shown) which is actuated'by thumb screwf39 for releasing or.holding the hydraulic pressure in line "41 Whichis connected to hydraulic ram '14.
On thefront end of base plate 6i-a guide indicatorf42 is pivotally attached. As shown .m'Fig. .1, theguideindicator is .shown intransport position. During cutting operation theguidemember 42 is tpivote'd downwardly about its'connection with'base plate '6 untiltthe pointer 43 contacts the. surface i to be .cut. Then 'by keeping I the pointer on the marked.lineito'becut inthe concretea straight cut.is acheived.
The operation of the machine 'shownin 'FigsilandllZ is as .follows: Assumingthat engine 19 is operating. and
cutting wheel 28 is revolving .in .the directionindicated in Fig. -1, then pointer 43 is moved .until. it .contacts :a
llinepreviously marked on'the concrete. lTank29'is'fille'd with water and valve311is actuated by rod 32 tosupp'ly nozzle 33 'with Water to .spray .on cutting wheel T28 to .therebykeepit cool. .Thuinbscrewj39is .then actuated to relieve the .hydraulic pressure in hydraulic .ram 14 thereby permitting cylinder '16 to move Ydownwardly ..relative .to .piston v13 andspindle .12 connected .thereto,
thereby bringing .cutting wheel .28 .in contact .with .the surface to be .cut. "When cutting wheel .28 has lbeen lowered 'toits desired depth of cut, 'thunib:screw.f3'9.is again actuated to maintain the hydraulic pressure in ram 14 thereby maintaining cutting wheel 28 at a fixed height. The machine can then be pushed forward by the operator pushing on rail 38. The operator maintains the pointer 43 on the line to be cut and maintains enough pressure on the machine to keep the cutting wheel in operation. Ordinarily most cuts are straight cuts but with this machine a curved path may be readily followed as the operator can steer the machine with ease by applying pressure on the right or left hand side of the rail 38.
It should be here noted that all the controls for the machine are located handily near the operators station so that the operator can control the entire operation of the machine from his ordinary position without halting operations. That is the operator pushes the machine and steers same by pushing on rail 38; he can reach across tank 29 to adjust the flow of water to nozzle 33; he can actuate pump 36 by manipulating lever 37 to raise cutting wheel 28; and he can manipulate screw 39 to lower cutting wheel 28.
Applicant has discovered that with his machine, contraction joints can readily be made in concrete construction merely by cutting the joints in after the concrete has undergone initial set. In the prior art, contraction joints were usually made by inserting metal or bituminous strips in the freshly poured concrete and then, if the strips are metal, removing them before the concrete had permanently set. This method of making contraction joints was laborious, costly and usually produced joints about which the concrete spalled and sealed. in applicants method of construction contraction joints tests have indicated that a superior type of joint is produced which does not spall or scale and does not require any material such as tar or the like to be inserted after the joint has been cut. The reason for this is because the joint is so narrow that after it is cut, it soon fills up with dirt and the like so that there is very little room for Water to enter to cause destructive action when freezing occurs.
Applicant has found that contraction joints or vertical planes of Weakness can readily be cut in concrete by merely cutting a narrow vertical slot to a depth of approximately /3 of the concrete slab thickness. Preferably the cutting should be done after initial set has taken place in the concrete but before permanent set, although cutting may be performed even after permanent set.
Referring to Figs. 3, 4 and 5 a cutting wheel 44 is shown that may be substituted for the diamond embedded cutting wheel 28 shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Cutting wheel 44 is obliquely mounted on spindle 21 in the manner of a swash plate by means of a pair of clamping members 46 and 47, a pair of springs 48 and 49 and a nut 51. The incline of the wheel in reference to a vertical longitudinal plane is such that when the wheelfiis revolved in an expansion joint the lateral throw of the wheel will not be greater than the Width of the joint. By regulating the amount of compression on springs 48 and 49 by tightening or loosening nut 51 the amount of obliquety in wheel 44 may be regulated within limits, such that when a greater throw of Wheel 44 is desired the compression on springs 48 and 49 is relieved and when the throw for which clamping members 46 and 47 were designed to provide in themselves is desired, nut 51 is securely tightened down thereby compressing springs 48 and 49 to the point that a substantially non-resilient mounting of wheel 44 is secured. Preferably the clamping members 46 and 47 should be designed to provide an oblique mounting of wheel 44 which is of less throw than the width of normal expansion joints, then nut 51 may be partly relieved permitting a resilient joint which will permit greater obliquety of Wheel 44. As wheel 44 rotates the filling material in the expansion joint is cut out l,
by teeth 52 in wheel 44 and thrown upwardly out of the joint, thereby preparing the joint for refilling with tar or like material commonly used for filling expansion joints. Wheel 44 is not capable of cutting concrete but is capable of cutting the types of material usually used in expansion or contraction joints and is capable of removing such material from the joint and slinging the material upwardly out of the joint.
It is understood that suitable modifications may be made in the structure as disclosed, provided such modifications come within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
