【発明の名称】安定させる車輪機構を備える土の押し固め機
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2000501797
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
The invention concerns a self-propelled impact compaction machine that includes a chassis (20) with a prime mover thereon. The chassis (20) carries ground engaging wheels (21) at least some of which are driven by the prime mover. Compaction of soil is achieved by one or more impact compactor masses (24) which have out-of-round shapes so as to apply periodic impact blows to the soil surface when rolled over that surface. The mass or masses (24) are connected resiliently to the chassis (20) and define a compaction track width measured from one lateral extremity of the mass or masses (24) to the opposite lateral extremity of the mass or masses. The ground engaging (21) wheels of the chassis define a maximum wheel track width which is not substantially different in magnitude to the compaction track width, with the desirable result that the chassis (20) enjoys substantial roll axis stability.
