The invention relates to a paver having a consolidation plank for the floating packing of layers, the consolidation plank consisting of two plank halves (1a, 11b), of which the angle of inclination relative to one another can be adjusted transversely to the packing direction and which are adjustable via a controllable adjusting device (7, 24). In order to lock the adjusting members (7) in the non-actuated state, the two plank halves (1a, 1b) are coupled to one another, so as to be free of play, ...

A unitary flight chain assembly for a paver is illustrated as having mounting structure for removably positioning same upon a support structure carried beneath the hopper of the paver, and removable covers are provided to facilitate lifting the flight chain assembly out of the paver and for replacement thereof.

A dual paver is composed of the tractors of a pair of typical single pavers, the tractors being linked in spaced side-by-side relation and fitted across their rear with a single-screed assembly of the floating type. Two types of the screed assembly are shown, one, an elongated rigid screed formed from the two individual screeds and a special rigid center section with a central crowning mechanism, and the other a "split" screed, also formed from the two individual screeds but with a center sectio...

A paver attachment is illustrated for connecting a paver to a dump truck and the like having an elongated longitudinally disposed arm assembly carried on one end by the paver for raising and lowering the free end thereof to which is attached securement means for engagement with the dump truck adjacent the transmission to provide a fixed distance therebetween and to permit independent maneuvering of the paver as around curves.

A paver system comprising a plurality of paver pieces and at least one substrate. Each of the paver pieces has a top surface and a bottom surface. The bottom surface of the paver pieces is configured for mating with the upper surface of the substrate, whereby paver pieces coupled to the substrate are prevented from moving laterally.

A paver light having a masonry structure with an aperture that has a substantially constant diameter from an exterior surface to an interior surface of the masonry structure, and a lighting fixture positioned within the aperture of the masonry structure. The lighting fixture includes a support member with an internal cavity, an electrical socket removably received within the cavity of the support member, and a modular light assembly removably mounted to the support member. The modular light asse...

A paver light having a masonry structure with an aperture and a lighting fixture positioned within the aperture of the masonry structure. The lighting fixture includes a support member with an internal cavity and a first locking member, an electrical socket removably received within the cavity of the support member, and a modular light assembly having a light source and a second locking member that is releasably enagable with the first locking member in response to the relative rotation of the f...

A paver installer (10) is described for receiving and carrying a paver from one location to another location. The paver installer has frame (12) comprising a pair of spaced apart frame members (18) and a longitudinal axis disposed between. To add strength, at least one brace member (24) is disposed between the frame members. Proximate the lower portion of the frame is a wheel assembly(26). So that pavers (62) can be place on pedestals (72) having varying heights above grade, the paver installer ...

A paver screed has a main screed with two outer side walls, at least one of the side walls being provided with insertion orifices for the releasable mounting of at least one lateral screed extension by means of fastening elements capable of being inserted through the insertion orifices. A screed extension has fastening elements that comprise hydraulic cylinders which each have a piston that is spring-biased into an initial, retracted position. The cylinders are actuated by hydraulic fluid to dis...

An asphalt paver is illustrated having a hopper carried by a rigid longitudinal frame upon which is mounted a transversely oscillatable frame carrying wheels intermediate the hopper and a rearwardly positioned screed.
