Dowel Bar Inserter Kit Having Chain Feeder

View page
US Patent:
6390726, May 21, 2002
Filed:
Oct 1, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/411744
Inventors:
Ronald M. Guntert - Stockton CA
Gerald Lee Dahlinger - Ripon CA
Richard W. Francis - Stockton CA
Assignee:
Guntert Zimmerman Const. Div. - Ripon CA
International Classification:
E01C 2302
US Classification:
404 88, 404100
Abstract:
In combination with a slipform paver, a new chain feeder is disclosed which is contained within the profile of a slipform paver. The chain feeder is used in combination with a plurality of dowel bar inserter stations. A single file dowel bar path is provided immediately above the plurality of dowel bar inserter stations overlying an upper dowel bar shuttle for each inserter station. The feeder includes a plurality of feeding lugs for pushing dowel bars along the single file dowel bar path parallel to openings in the upper dowel bar shuttle. This enables dowel bars to fall into the upper dowel bar shuttle until all inserter stations are loaded with dowel bars. When the dowel bars are inserted, the upper dowel bar shuttle moves relative to the lower dowel bar shuttle. This permits an upper shuttle bar opening in the upper dowel bar shuttle and the lower shuttle bar opening in the lower dowel bar shuttle to move into registration one with another. Dowel bars fall from the upper shuttle bar opening in the upper dowel bar shuttle into the lower shuttle bar opening of the lower dowel bar shuttle through a pan opening in the dowel bar inserter pan and on to a slab formed beneath the dowel bar inserter pan.

Slipform Paving Machine With Adjustable Length Tractor Frame

View page
US Patent:
8118518, Feb 21, 2012
Filed:
Feb 9, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/703101
Inventors:
Gerald L. Dahlinger - Ripon CA, US
Iovtcho Mitev Delev - Stockton CA, US
Steven Douglas Mickelson - Chico CA, US
Assignee:
Guntert & Zimmerman Const. Div., Inc. - Ripon CA
International Classification:
E01C 19/12
US Classification:
404104, 404 72, 404100, 404105
Abstract:
A paving machine that moves in a travel direction and spreads, levels and finishes concrete into a form having a generally upwardly exposed, finished concrete surface that terminates in lateral sides. The paving machine has a main frame with first and second bolsters arranged at opposite ends of the main frame. Each set of bolsters has two hydraulic jacking columns used to raise and lower the machine frame. Crawlers attached to the bottom of the jacking columns engage the ground and move the paving machine in the travel direction. A pair of support beams is attached to the inner surface of each bolster and supported in passageways of a center module of the tractor frame. To extend the maximum width of the paving machine without having to extensively disassemble it, the free ends of the support beams extend beyond outer sides of the bolsters when the distance between the inner sides of the bolsters is at its minimum. This paving machine width adjustment can be performed in the field by moving the bolsters and the support beams attached to them inwardly or outwardly with the crawlers of the paving machine. Also provided is a laterally extendable/retractable cross beam for movably supporting a dowel bar inserter kit on the paving machine.

US Patent:
8459898, Jun 11, 2013
Filed:
Mar 22, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/069096
Inventors:
Gerald L. Dahlinger - Ripon CA, US
Richard Wood Francis - Stockton CA, US
Assignee:
Guntert & Zimmerman Const. Div., Inc. - Ripon CA
International Classification:
B62D 11/02
US Classification:
404 85, 180 944, 180 946, 180411
Abstract:
A paving machine for spreading, leveling and finishing concrete having a main frame, center module, bolsters laterally movably, and a crawler track associated with respective aft and forward ends of the bolsters. A bolster swing leg for each crawler track supports an upright jacking column. A worm gear drive permits rotational movements of the crawler track and the jacking column. A hinge bracket is interposed between each swing leg and a surface of the bolsters to enable pivotal movements of the swing leg. A length-adjustable holder engages the pivot pin on the hinge bracket and pivotally engages the swing leg. The holder permits pivotal motions of the swing leg in its length-adjustable configuration and prevents substantially any motion of the swing leg in its fixed-length configuration. A feedback loop cooperates with transducers keeping the crawler tracks position. The paving machine can be reconfigured into a narrowed transport configuration.

Detachable Dowel Bar Inserter Kit For Portable Slip Form Paver

View page
US Patent:
61766437, Jan 23, 2001
Filed:
Oct 1, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/411745
Inventors:
Ronald M. Guntert - Stockton CA
Gerald Lee Dahlinger - Ripon CA
Richard W. Francis - Stockton CA
Assignee:
Guntert & Zimmerman Const. Div. - Ripon CA
International Classification:
E01C 2304
E01C 2302
US Classification:
404 88
Abstract:
A dowel bar inserter kit has removable attachment to and from a slipform paver. The kit includes a track bolster on each side having a crossbeam tying the bolsters together at the rear of the inserter. Each bolster is provided with two flange attachments to the paver, typically one flange attachment to the frame and one flange attachment to the jacking column of the paver. These paired attachments of each side bolster assure the kit maintains the same overall level maintained by the rectilinear frame of the paver during paver travel. Each bolster defines support car tracks. These support car tracks enabling inserter support cars to travel on the tracks during machine paving. During dowel bar placement, the support cars remain stationary with respect to the formed slab while the slip form paver continues with its required forward motion. These support cars also enable vertical up and down movement to permit insertion and removal of the dowel bar inserters from the recently formed slab. Insertion of dowel bars occurs through a dowel bar inserter pan, which pan is maintained at an adjustably constant vertical distance from the support cars through a system of telescoping beams and winches.
