Title "POT-HOLE REPAIRER" The invention relates to a device to be used as a piece of road maintenance equipment for spot repairs or paving small areas of macadam road surfaces or the like. Unit would be attached to a small tractor or to the chassis of a light truck or could be built into a hydrostatic drive transport means as a specialized piece of equipment. Unit folds neatly into a securely locked transport position to aid mobility. The i invention has been devised to provide a novel form of road maintenance equipment able to repair a large number of small areas of localized 0 road damage in a quick, efficient cost effective way, using less material to provide a more lasting job, eliminating labour fatique and providing greater safety, obviating the risk of men darting in front of fast moving traffic to fill pot holes and the like.
The device provide the delivery of the pre-mix material mechanically conveyed to the repair site with ample tamping power to ensure a superior repair to the damaged areas of roadway before damage can reach major proportions. The apparatus may be economically produced and b further advantages will be aparent from the following description.
According to the invention the device consists of the following, 20 Composed of three main component groups attached to a transport means.
Component group A as shown in Figure 3 involves the tamping and articulated boom means whereby a series of actuating means responsive to a gallery valve means located at the control station position dictates the functions of said actuating means allowing the articulated boom means with the attached tamping means together with associated ij material and primer binder lines to be raised, lowered, extended, j retracted or rotated to align with the repair position to allow spraying of the area with primer binder then to fill the hole with repair material and to then position the tamping means and activate the tamping process i to compact and bind the fill.
Component group B .as shown in Figure 4 involves the repair material reservoir which would be generally placed on the transport vehicle.
Attached to the material reservoir are the pressure pumping means consisting of primary loading means to fill the pressure chamber with I THE COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS.
(IMPORTANT Cross out inapplicable words in the above Form.) material which in turn by the use of a secondary pressure means is forced into the coupled material line to be conveyed to the repair site.
The primer binder reserviour is located adjacent to the material reserviour and binder spray is activated by a small pumping means to pass the binder through the line to the repair site controlled a the value, gallery means. Component group C consists of the valve gallery means which is located adjacent to the operator who by the manipulation of these valves decides the functions of the series of activating means controlling the group A and B components.
S 0 The transport means to which the apparations comprising groups A, B and C are attached as an add-on or integerally incorporated as a Sspecial purpose machine. The selection of transport means can be varied to suit the particular application.
The invention will now be described in greater detail with reference to the attached drawing wherein: Figure 1. shows a view of the apparatus integerally incorporated as a special purpose machine to be applied to the objects of the invention.
Figure 2. shows a perspective view of the arrangement as shown in 20 Figure 1.

Figure 1. shows the apparatus integrally incorporated with the transport means as a special purpose peice of road maintenance equipment adapted to carry out pot-hole repairs and edge repairs on the road formation. The vibratory tamp/screeding means 1 is supported by the articulated boom means 4 manipulated by a series of actuating means 9 of which 11 the slewing motor rotates the boom arm 24 and 24H to which the vibratory tamp/sreeding means is attaced. Extension or .retracticn of the telescopic boom arm 24 is controlled by hydraulic cylinder 10 within the hollow boom arms 24 and 24 A as shown in Figure 3.
0: Positioning of the vibratory/tamp screeding means by the series of actuating means 9 controlled by the valve gallery means 44 in conjunction with the movement of the transport means allows the positioning of the desired component in the exact 0o0 position to effect its part in the repair process. First the primerbinder spraying by means of spray jet 27. Second-the ejection of premix repair material from the repair material conveyor s means 2 at discharge point 7. Third the positioningof the vbratory tamp/ Sscreeding means 1 over the area to be levelled and compacted.
The rise and fall means 5 governs the height of the vibratory tamp/ screeding means 1 and is actuated by hydraulic cylinder 26 moving the slewing means 11 up or down as held and positioned within the guide tracks 25 shown on figure 3. Tamp/screeding means 1 shown in figures 1,2,3 may use any of the known vibration oscillation mechanisms such as rotating out-of-balance weighted elements,oscillating pistons driven by hydraulic power or compressed air, or alternatively electrically coupled piezo-electric sonic motors could provide the high frequency vibratory means.
Said slewing means 11 provides rotation of boom means 4 in an arc centered on the pivoting axis 6f the slewing means 11.
~1~1~ These vibration producing means have been applied to various peices of vibrational equipment over a good many years and the method and type of oscillator applicable to this apparatus would be apparent to persons skilled in this technology. Referring to Figure 3 wherein the tamping means 1 consists of an assembly comprising a material tamping head 16 with the vibration engaging member protected from foreign matter by bellows cover 15 which allow free movement of the tamping head 16 in relation to main body 46 of the tamping means 1.
A socket 17 attaching to 24 the telescoping section of the articulated boom means 4 houses the ball section of the main body 46 which is fitted with c an interleaving vibration damping cup 18 of complaint material such as rubber to absorb the vibration the main body 16 may transfer to the articulated boom means 4 yet allowing the tamping head 16 to have an orbital movement to align with the surface being tamped. Still referring to figure 3 wherein the telescopic section 24 of the articulated boom means 4 is extended or retracted by the hydraulic cylinder 10 as a part of the series actuating means 9 being controlled by the operator manipulation of the valve gallery means 4 4 located at the control station. The orbitual movement of the tamping means 1 is actuated by the slewing motor 11 as a component of the series of actuating means 9 being controlled by the operator manipulation S..of the valve gallery means 44. The rise and fall of the articulated boom means 4 governing the height position of the tamping head 16 is actuated by hydraulic cylinder 16 of the series actuating means 9 with the body of the slewing motor firmly engaged by side lugs fitting into guide tracks 25 of the mounting frame 47.
The component group C as shown in Figure 4 wherein the premix material is held in reservoir 6 whereby the primary auger 30 is used to load 36 the pressure cylinder cavity of the pressure pumping means 45 through the manhole 41 whereby the manhole cover 33 released by it locking means is lifted and swivel out of the way by means of fitting 34, after filling' of the cavity 36 the manhole cover 33 is locked intoplace by locking means 35, piston 37 is then moved forward by hydraulic cylinder 38 in conjunction with the rotation of the secondary auger 42 forcing the pre-mix material into the material line 2 of the flexible coupling means to be transported to the repair site. To those skilled in the art to i r i(l which this invention relates; many changes in construction, design and widely differing embodiments and applications of the invention will suggest themselves without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
The disclosures and description herein are purely illustrative and are not intended to be in any sense limiting or being restricted to a precise form.
