AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present patent is about a leveling / spreading attachment for a material trailer that can be used to spread gravel and other materials. The attachment includes a body that is attachable to the push block portion of the trailer and a leveling blade coupled to the body. The attachment can be attached to a belly dump type trailer and can open a dump gate on the bottom of the trailer to release the material. The leveling / spreading attachment can simultaneously spread the material, which can improve efficiency and reduce the risk of closing the roadway. The technical effects of the leveling / spreading attachment include improved efficiency, reduced risk of roadway closure, and improved control over the material spreading process.

Problems solved by technology

The deposited gravel from the trailer can result in gravel buildup, which can result in closing the road until the deposited gravel is leveled or spread across a width of the roadway, among other issues.

Embodiment Construction

[0009]Leveling / spreading attachment devices, methods, and systems are described herein. For example, one or more embodiments can include a body attachable to a push block portion of a trailer and a leveling blade coupled to the body. In some examples, a leveling / spreading attachment system includes an adapter plate to replace a push block of a trailer, a body coupled to the adapter plate comprising a number of cylinders connected to an air gate of the trailer, and a leveling blade coupled to the body and the number of cylinders.

[0010]The leveling / spreading attachment described herein can be attached to a rear end of a material trailer (e.g., end opposite of an end coupled to a truck or semi, etc.). In some examples, the material trailer can be a belly dump type trailer (e.g., bottom dump trailer, trailer with a clam shell type dump gate in the belly of the trailer, etc.).

[0011]In various examples, the material trailer can be utilized to transport a variety of material from a first l...

Abstract

Devices, methods, and systems for a leveling / spreading attachment are described herein. One system includes a body attachable to a push block portion of a trailer and a leveling blade coupled to the body. In some examples, a leveling blade trailer attachment system includes an adapter plate to replace a push block of a trailer, a body coupled to the adapter plate comprising a number of cylinders connected to an air supply of the trailer, and a leveling blade coupled to the body and the number of cylinders.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application 62 / 264,247, filed Dec. 7, 2015, which is incorporated by reference.[0002]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application 62 / 374,581, filed Aug. 12, 2016, which is incorporated by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0003]The present disclosure relates to methods, devices, and systems for a leveling / spreading attachment.BACKGROUND[0004]Trailers can be utilized to transport material to and from different locations. Trailers can be coupled and decoupled from tractor trailers or semis. Trailers can be utilized to transport gravel for maintaining or creating a roadway. In some examples, belly dump type trailers can be utilized to drive over the roadway and deposit the gravel in a relatively center area of the roadway. The deposited gravel from the trailer can result in gravel buildup, which can result in closing the road until the deposited gravel is leveled or spread...
