CURB FORMING MACHINE

摘要

A curb forming machine with parts which may be mounted in different positions on a frame so that curb may be laid on the left or right side of the frame outside the frame, and on the left or right side inside the frame. A feed hopper delivers curb forming material either directly to an auger housing, for curb formed inside the frame sidewalls, or first to a side chute and then to the auger housing, for curb formed outside the frame sidewalls. A curb forming mold is attached to the auger housing. Adjustable height wheels allow the machine to move along a surface for forming curb.

主权项

1. A curb forming machine with a frame and an attached engine, wheels, and height adjusters, comprising:
a hopper mounted to said frame, the hopper with a slanted bottom and a material passage for curb forming material adjacent to the slanted bottom and to one side of the hopper, in which the hopper is removable from said frame and reversible so that the material passage can be on the left side or the right side of the frame; a side chute which is removably attachable to said hopper passage of said hopper, with an end of said side chute ending outside said frame for delivering material to an auger housing and a feed auger with a curb forming mold mounted to said auger housing, with said side chute reversible to a left or right position outside of said frame, for forming a curb from said curb forming mold on a left or right side of said frame; a driveshaft from said engine with connections from said driveshaft to gears for attachment of said feed auger in one of four possible positions; and at least three wheels with height adjusters, for adjusting the height of said frame from the ground, said wheels for allowing said machine to move along the ground when laying curb.
