Rolling device, in particular for placing bulk materials on the ground
First Claim
1. A rolling device for depositing bulk materials onto the ground, the rolling device comprising:
- a rolling chassis, equipped with wheels by which the rolling chassis rests on the ground, and a reservoir for storing and distributing the bulk materials; and
a smoothing table, the smoothing table having a leading edge arranged along a width of the rolling device and transverse to a direction of movement of the rolling device,the reservoir being provided with, in a lower part forming a bottom of the reservoir, a discharge opening, the discharge opening arranged between the leading edge of the smoothing table and the wheels of the rolling chassis, and configured so as to deposit a bed of the bulk materials with a controlled thickness,wherein the rolling chassis is mounted so as to be tiltable about a rotation axis of the wheels in order for the rolling device to be configurable between a working configuration in which the smoothing table is in contact with the ground and a transport configuration in which the smoothing table is spaced from the ground,wherein the wheels of the rolling chassis are driving wheels, andwherein the reservoir and the smoothing table form a movable assembly, a position of the movable assembly being adjustable via adjusting means configured to allow, at least in a configuration in which the wheels rest on a horizontal flat ground and the smoothing table extends parallel to and spaced from the ground, i) an adjustment of a height of the smoothing table and the discharge opening so as to alternately raise and lower the movable assembly and thereby alternately move the movable assembly further and closer to the ground, and ii) an adjustment of an incline of the smoothing table so as to form a non-zero angle between a plane of the smoothing table and the rotation axis of the wheels.

Abstract
A rolling device includes a chassis equipped with a reservoir for holding bulk materials and a smoothing table, the smoothing table having a leading edge arranged transversely to the direction of movement of the device, and the bottom of the reservoir being provided with a discharge opening arranged between the leading edge of the smoothing table and the wheels of the rolling chassis of the device, the wheels of the rolling chassis being driven and the rolling chassis being mounted so as to be able to tip about the axis of rotation of the wheels, the reservoir and the smoothing table forming a movable assembly, and the position of the movable assembly can be adjusted by an adjustment unit so as to be able to adjust the height of the smoothing table and the discharge opening, and the inclination of the smoothing table.
