Benefits of technology

[0004]It is one object of the invention to provide a suitable dedicated machine for quickly and easily removing these ridges.

Problems solved by technology

These cause severe undulations of travelling vehicles due to the periodic nature of the ridges and are a considerable source of discomfort for occupants.
Up to now there has been no suitable dedicated machine for quickly and easily removing these ridges so that they need to be ground off by conventional machinery grinding the whole pavement or moved back and forth over the pavement.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]The apparatus for grinding a ridge 16 in a lane 18 of a roadway 17 includes a support assembly 10 designed for attachment to support arms 12, 13 of a transport vehicle 14. The vehicle can be of the type such as a skid steer loader or back hoe or other commercial tractor which includes front lift arms which can be operated using tractor controls. The support 10 is designed to allow the apparatus to mount on the arms for movement by the arms, with the design be arranged to match the connections of the arms as is known to a person skilled in the art. The lane 18 is defined by side lines 18A.

[0018]A transverse beam 11 is carried on the support arms so that the transverse beam extends across a front of the vehicle whereby, with the vehicle standing longitudinally of the lane, the beam extends across the roadway to or slightly beyond the ends 18A.

[0019]A grinding assembly 20 is carried on the beam by a guide mounting 21 so as to be movable along the beam 11 driven by a drive motor 2...

Abstract

A ridge in a lane of a roadway is ground away by providing a transverse beam carried on the support arms of a transport vehicle across a front of the vehicle, locating the vehicle longitudinally of the lane with the beam extending across the roadway and with the beam located by the vehicle in fixed position parallel to and above the ridge, moving a grinding assembly carried on the beam along the beam for grinding the ridge. The beam carries a gauge for a depth of grinding. The grinding assembly includes a toothed grinder rotatable about an axis transverse to the beam with a width transverse to the beam which is approximately equal to the width of the ridge.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefit of priority under 35 USC 119(e) of Provisional Application 61 / 445,368 filed Feb. 22 2011.[0002]This invention relates to a road grinding machine.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Many roads particularly in cold environments develop transverse ridges in the asphalt which cross the pavement at spaced positions along the direction of travel. These cause severe undulations of travelling vehicles due to the periodic nature of the ridges and are a considerable source of discomfort for occupants. Up to now there has been no suitable dedicated machine for quickly and easily removing these ridges so that they need to be ground off by conventional machinery grinding the whole pavement or moved back and forth over the pavement.SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION[0004]It is one object of the invention to provide a suitable dedicated machine for quickly and easily removing these ridges.[0005]According to one aspect of the invention there is provided an apparatus for...
