Abstract

L'invention concerne un épandeur de matériaux comprenant un organe compartiment en forme d'entonnoir, monté de manière transversale et conçu pour être remorqué par un véhicule à moteur. Ce compartiment, qui est tracté par ce véhicule à l'aide d'organes de remorquage, présente une ouverture inférieure et un dispositif de nivellement permettant de réguler l'épaisseur de la couche destinée à être déposée. Ce compartiment (1) comporte une plaque coulissante (7) qui s'étend sur toute la largeur et sur une grande partie du fond de ce compartiment (1), l'ouverture permettant de répandre les matériaux étant par ailleurs constituée d'une plaque inférieure mobile (12) placée sur un organe support (14) lui-même situé sur les parois latérales (2) du compartiment, et d'une plaque d'extrémité mobile (5) disposée sur la paroi d'extrémité (3) dudit compartiment (1), à proximité de la plaque inférieure (12). L'épandeur de matériaux de cette invention, qui présente une structure et un mode de fonctionnement très simples, convient pour asphalter des zones réduites comme des voies piétonnières, des rues transversales ou d'autres routes secondaires, des chaussées, des parcs de stationnement, des parcs de stationnement à plusieurs étages, etc. Cet épandeur permet également de reboucher les nids-de-poule dans la mesure où il peut à la fois diviser et répandre le matériau de remplissage. Cet épandeur peut par ailleurs servir dans des travaux de terrassement, en particulier pour niveler des sous-sols. Cette invention est particulièrement utile dans la pose de câbles chauffants, qui nécessite la formation d'une fine couche d'asphalte de base sur laquelle le câble chauffant est destiné à être déposé, une couche supérieure étant finalement formée sur ce câble.
