A compaction roller pivotally mounted on an extensible boom-type support, arranged to be lowered at a predetermined angle into an excavated ditch, having control means for changing the angle to a horizontal position and the length of the boom.

Asphalt cutting apparatus for breaking up and windrowing old asphaltic pavement on a roadway or the like including the pavement adjacent to a curb or gutter. A plurality of laterally spaced, sharpened cutter discs are freely rotatably mounted on a support carriage. The support carriage is attached to a frame pivotally coupled at a forward pivot to a prime mover such as a truck or similar vehicle for movement along the asphalt surface. As the cutter discs are moved along the asphalt surface a hydraulic clamp cylinder provides a vertical movement about the forward pivot to vary the depth of cut and also maintains a downward pressure on the cutter discs and forces the discs to roll through and cut up the asphalt. The construction and mounting of the support carriage is such that the discs are adjustably movable laterally axially along a horizontal axis for selective positioning adjacent to a curb or gutter and are further adjustably movable about a pivot to slope laterally outwardly and downwardly so that the discs are positioned at different cutting depths relative to one another for cutting an asphalt surface that is sloped for drainage purposes.

In surfacing apparatus for asphaltic surfaces and the like, there is provided a truck-drawn trailer, a hood and burner assembly having a hood suspended from the trailer open at the bottom that heats the surface over which the assembly is moved, a scarifying assembly supported by the trailer that breaks up the heated surface and a leveling device drawn behind the scarifying assembly that levels the broken surface material. The hood and burner assembly has a refractory lined combustion chamber with a sloping roof so that the combustion chamber decreases in volume toward the trailing end for heating uniformly, a joint gap between liner members that is wider at the top and top filled to retain a gap filler material, side sections that swing up to reduce the width for transport, side extension sections that optionally may be added for greater surface widths and separate controls for different banks of burners for independent heat control of different sections of the hood. The scarifying assembly has alternating larger and smaller groups of scarifying elements arranged at spaced intervals across the apparatus with each group being independently resiliently urged into contact with the surface to adjust for surface irregularities. The scarifying assembly has side sections that swing up between an upper out of the way position and a lower working position.

Heating apparatus is disclosed that is particularly suited for use in combination with a drum mixer for treating asphalt aggregate materials to make such materials suitable for being applied to the ground surface. The heating apparatus generally comprises a plurality of flame-emitting gas burners and a combustion chamber for producing hot gases. A refractory lined plate assembly with an array of gas distributing ports is provided for spreading out hot gases discharged from the combustion chamber over the surface area of the plate assembly and also for inhibiting the open flames from passing from the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber is constructed to withstand the impacts and high temperatures encountered during operation of the mixer, as during transport, by attaching refractory bricks with metal backing plates to a rigid framework. The plate assembly is constructed in sections that are movable relative to one another to permit expansion and contraction with temperature variations. In the combination the heating apparatus and drum mixer are mounted end-to-end in coaxial alinement and on a vehicle for vehicular movement with the plate assembly between the combustion chamber and the interior of the drum and with the heating apparatus stationary relative to the rotational movement of the drum.

A series of treatments are performed on old asphaltic pavement to make it suitable for being satisfactorily applied as a new mat. The old asphaltic pavement is heated and scarified to form a loose aggregate-asphaltic mixture while remaining on the ground surface. The mixture is removed from the ground surface and heated in an elongated rotary housing having heated conductors without direct flame contact with the mixture, and the mixture is then thoroughly mixed with a conditioner for old asphaltic pavement, and finally is reapplied to the ground surface as a new mat. The treatments are carried out by independently operable, portable apparatus during the movement of all of the apparatus in a coordinated train that moves over the ground surface.
