APPARATUS FOR EPiRiNG ASPHALT pfl'viwbl'l.
SPECIFICATION icnn'ling part of Letters Patent No; 533,608, elated February 5,1895.
Appleman ned october 24.1894.v 'sessie 526.835. (no man.,
To all whom ibm/ny connerie:
Be in knownl that I. .lnnns-,gynnsnnrnn e eitizen'of thelUnitedStet'es residing et Bualo, in thecountyof Erie and State of New Yorkrheve invented e new and useful Improvement in Apparatus for Repairing Asphalt Peyegients, of which the followingv `1s e specification.
This invention relates to theportebe heetnv ingdeviees which are used for Vmelting or softening the surface of'esp'helt 'peveznent in repairing the same.-
Heretoforeen apparatus joonsisting of e series of hydrocarbon burners supported upon o a. Wheeled freine `in close proximity to the surface vof the lpa'venientyghes' been employedfor thispurpos'e, bntthisiappajretfus :is objectioneble beoansethe naines' neming Aineenteet with the parlementaire liablepto burn the surface before the particles below the surface are suiieiently softened. Such burners also heat the pavement nneven1y, the` portions there-oi in e'ontaet iriththe `Heines being soft ened 'to a' greeter'degreethan the intermediate portions.V Furthermore, the nep'htha con Itsined in the hydro-carbon fuel'ernmble's or disintegrzites the snrfaoe of `the pavement 'when brought in `eonteot therewith, so that leakage of the earners is liable vto 4render the work defective.
The object of my invention is :o provide an npperetulsl whereby heet they be uniformly applied to the surface of the pavement withont liability of burning it, and which permits the use of fuel that is free from the objections of hydrocarbons.
In the accompanying drawings consisting Ot' two sheets: Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved'epperets` Fig. 2 is e top'pvlen viewthereof. Fig'. B is e cross section of the same in line 3 -3, Fig. l, looking rearward. Fig. 4 is n. bottomplen View of the fuel basket. Fig. 5 is aan enlarged. section al elevation of the steeringwheelanditssupportingfreme. Fig. l6' is an enlarged cross section of one of theoperating shafts of the fuel basket showing the means of connecting thesus'nension chains thereto.
Like lenters of reference refer to like parts in the several. gnres.-
. A represents the sidebars of the portable Supporting frame of the apparatus and A lar solid'fnel.
are transverse rods or bers-whienoonneot the side bars et sniteblevinterrels. These side bars are preferably eonstrneted of angle iron and are arehed or provirled with flown- Werdly bent end portions a, a.
B represents a pair of Wheelsiwhieh support the rear-.portion of the freine emi which are mounted on en I.ixle B secured to the downwardly bent'reer portions a of -the side bars'.
represents a steering wheel'whieh snpports the front portion of the freine and which is jonrneled 'in e forli This fork has en upwardly extending spinrlle d which turns ina. bearingd formed in e cross bar d2 which letterv secured at its ends to .the downwardly bent front portions o.' of the side bers.
Dis e handle or lever connecten wim the for-kof the steering wheel by n yoke D2.
E is s fuel basket or receptacle suspended from the portable supporting freine between the front end rear wheels thereof and.' adapted to contain a bed of incandescent eolie or simi- This basket is preferably of the oblong form shownin the drawings and is. provided with a. perforated or retiouleted bottoni to permit the radiation of the burning fuel through the seme. lts side end end Walls are also preferably perforated or retieuleted to supplynir to the l'nel` on all sides.
ln the construction shown in the drawings the-fuel basket consists of horizontal rectanguler top and bottom frames e e connected et the corners by vertical angle pieces e2, a. bottom of wire elothseeured to the Vbottom freine of the basket and side and end walls of wire cloth secured to the top and bottom frames, the meshes'of the Wire cloth being suleiently small to prevent the fuel from dropping through the seme. The frames of lthe basketare preferably constructed of angle iron, es shown. o
e3 represents transverse bersV extending across the `Wre cloth bottom of the fuel baskei: and secured' at their ends to the side members of the bottom frame e'. These bars prevent sagging of the bottom under the Weight of the fuel and also stien the bottom frame ofthe basket. The fuel basket is snspene from the portable snpporting fremeoy ehsins or 'sables T IDO which are secured/at their upper ends to transversel shafts G, preferably by eye bolts, as shown in Fig. 6. These shafts turn in bearings formed in the side bars A and each ofthe same is provided at one end with a crank g for turning it, and a ratchet wheel g with which enA gages a delent g2 pivoted tothe adjacent side bar whereby the shaft is held against retrograde movement. The chainsF are provided at their lower ends with hooks f which engage with perforated hangers 7i. secured to opposite sides of the fuel basket near the ends thereof. The basket is supported by ,four chains, two near each end thereof, and the two chains at the same end of the basket are connected with the same operating shaft.
In using my improved apparatus, the basket is first filled fromend to end with burning fuel, preferably coke, forming a solid bed which is exposed both on the bottom and the' sides ofthe perforated basket. The apparatus is then moved' to bring the fuel basket over the spot to be repaired and the basket is lowered with its bottom in close proximity to the surface of the pavement.A The heat ra` diated from the bed of fuel through the perforated bottom Iof the baskety in a short time softens the pavement sufficiently to permit itl to be raked or agitated. The necessary quantity of fresh asphalt is next added, and after .removing the apparatus the vrepaired. spotis smoothed and burnished by the usual appliances. The supporting shaftsand chains of the fuel basket permitthe latter to be ad- "usted vertically for lowering it into a depression of thepavement or raising it clear of a ridge, in moving it from place to place. ,As the heating medium consists of a solid bed o f fuel, the defective spot under treatment is subjected to a practically'uniform degree of heat throughout the area of the basket,'sot'tening all portions thereof evenly and insuring a complete incorporation of the old and the new material. The burning fuel l through which the lower surface of the bed is exposed, and adjustable suspension devices which permit the4 fuel basket to be lowered in close proximity to the surface ot' the pavement, orraised to clear ridges of the pavement in transporting the apparatus, substantially as set forth.
2. In an apparatus for repairing'asphalt pavement, the combination with a supporting frame composed of larched side bars and transverse connecting bars, of` rear support ing wheels, a front steering Wheel, a fuel basket arranged betweenv said front and rear wheels and having a perforatedbottom,transverse shafts journaled on said supporting frame, and suspension chains connecting the fuel basket with-said shafts, substantially as set forth.
