  • the plank is shiftable back and forth horizontally across the length of the road. The operation of the plank is accomplished by sensor responsive power means which may also be operator controlled.
  • the present invention relates to a road construction apparatus, more specifically, to guide means in such an apparatus for guiding an installing plank or bar carried by the road construction apparatus whereby road forming mixtures such as bituminous mixtures are installed along a predetermined guide or reference line.
  • the installing plank is preferably carried by a caterpillar type of vehicle carriage, although wheeled vehicle carriages are also suitable.
  • Prior art road construction apparatus for installing road forming mixtures usually comprise a caterpillar or wheel type carriage which supports the drive and steering means as well as a mixture supply bin at the front end of the carriage.
  • the supply bin is usually constructed with side and front walls which may be tilted upwardly by means of a hydraulic piston cylinder arrangement.

In certain circumstances the carriage also supports a worm means for the distribution of the mixture.
  • These prior art apparatus also comprise two substantially elongated straight or angularly bent carrier arms which are tiltably supported approximately at the center of the caterpillar or wheel type carriage. Opposite the tiltable support of the carrier arms there are arranged devices for the even distribution, the densification, and the smoothing of the mixture. Thus, these devices essentially comprise said mixture distribution worm, tamping means and the vibrating, installing plank or bar. These vibrating, installing planks will be simply referred to as planks or plank means.

  • the guideline may, for example, be a rope stretched out between two supporting posts.
  • the amount of rotation or shifting required for correction may be ascertained, for example, by a potentiometer or by pivoting contact means and may be simultaneously indicated to the operator of the vehicle through instrumentsknown as such. Thus, the operator may in addition to the automatic correction correct a steering error while watching the instruments.
