Embodiment Construction

[0017]The present invention can be broken up into 4 main sections: a base mounting frame, a rotating frame, a squeegee main frame, and a squeegee wing actuator arrangement. Refer to FIG. 2. The base mounting frame serves as means for mounting the rotary actuator (7) and for mounting the squeegee apparatus to the rear of an asphalt sealant machine. The rotary actuator (7) provides additional control of the asphalt sealant material. The base mounting frame has a large 90 degree angle piece (1) with a center-hole large enough in diameter for a rotary actuator and serves as means to mount the rotary actuator. Mounting brackets (2) are attached at the ends of the angled piece (1), consist of 2 vertical slots for height variation (3), and serve as means to attach the squeegee apparatus to the back of an asphalt sealant machine.

[0018]Refer to FIG. 2. The rotating frame serves as means to connect the squeegee main frame to the rotary actuator and comprises of a rectangular channel piece (6)...

Abstract

The object of the present invention is to provide means for instantaneous control, and to change the sealant pattern length when applying asphalt sealant material. This is accomplished through integrating controlled actuated wings into a squeegee design, with an additional rotary actuator for additional rotation control.The present invention consists of a base mounting frame with means of mounting the apparatus to road maintenance machinery, a main squeegee frame, a squeegee wing actuator arrangement, squeegee blades, means of attaching the squeegee blade to the apparatus, and a rotary actuator attached to the main frame for additional control.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefits of my earlier filed provisional application # U.S. 61 / 200,901BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of Invention[0003]The present invention relates to asphalt sealant equipment, particularly to an apparatus for the distribution and leveling of asphalt sealant material upon roadway surfaces, and even more particularly to a maneuverable squeegee apparatus, with actuated rotating ends, to be mounted and used with asphalt sealant equipment in order to control the sealant material being applied.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]Asphalt sealant material is a unique substance. When applying this viscous and sticky material to road surfaces, the application faces various difficulties. The more problematic difficulties include the nature of the material to build up and controlling the direction and placement of the material. Prior art has addressed these difficulties with the use of a squeegee apparatu...
