AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Such excavators are often large, heavy vehicles, and, while they can be effective excavators, they can do great damage to the surfaces on which they operate.
For example, where it is necessary to remove sand from a sand trap on a golf course, large, heavy excavators can do great damage to the area surrounding the trap.
Further, such excavators tend to have limited mechanisms for conveying excavated material to a second location, or to a transporting vehicle.
Accordingly, excavation is not continuous, and can be time consuming.

Embodiment Construction

[0020] An excavator incorporating various features of the present invention is illustrated generally at 10 in the drawings. The excavator 10 is designed to continuously excavate and convey soil, sand, gravel, or the like. In the drawings the excavator 10 is illustrated as conveying the excavated material to one or more transporting vehicles, but it will be recognized that the excavator 10 could be used to convey the excavated materials to containers, or to simply deposit the excavated material at a new location proximate the excavator 10.

[0021] As will be discussed in detail below, the excavator 10 generally includes an excavating assembly 12 that serves as a digging and / or scooping mechanism, and includes a conveying assembly 14 that conveys the material excavated by the excavating assembly from the excavating assembly 12 to a location for accumulation or transport. Further, the excavator 10 includes a mobile support that supports the excavating assembly 12 and the conveying assem...

Abstract

An excavator (10) for excavating a selected material and conveying the excavated material to a selected location. The excavator (10) includes a mobile support (16) and a boom assembly (26) mounted thereon, with the boom assembly (26) having at least one extendable section (30). The excavator (10) also includes a conveying assembly (14) for conveying the excavated material from the mobile support (16), and an excavating assembly (12) mounted on the extendable section (30) of the boom assembly (26) for excavating the material and conveying it to the conveying assembly (14).

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] Not Applicable STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002] Not Applicable BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] 1. Field of Invention [0004] This invention relates to an excavator for continuously digging and moving material. More specifically, the present invention is related to excavators for continuously digging material such as soil, sand, gravel and the like, and moving that excavated material to a desired location, or to transporting vehicles. [0005] 2. Description of the Related Art [0006] Machines and devices for excavating soil, sand, gravel, and the like, are known in the art. Many such excavating machines incorporate self-propelled vehicles have digging mechanisms supported on extendable booms, including various hydraulically actuated excavators and backhoes. Such excavators are often large, heavy vehicles, and, while they can be effective excavators, they can do great damage to the surfaces on which t...
