Abstract

A roller type apparatus for packing roadbed materials suitable for mounting on a tractor type three point hitch also having a bar for scraping materials from the roller and spray nozzles for moistening the roller.

Claims

1. An apparatus to be pulled by a tractor for packing roadbed materials having a roller, a shaft at either end of said roller, a bearing on both said shafts comprising:

a. a means for lifting, transporting and pulling said apparatus

b. a means for cleaning said materials from said roller, and

c. a means for preventing said materials from adhering to said roller.

2. An apparatus as described in claim 1, wherein said means for lifting, transporting and pulling said apparatus comprises a tractor type three point hitch mounting apparatus.

3. An apparatus as described in claim 2, wherein said three point hitch is mounted to a frame, said frame further comprising a vertically positioned inverted U shaped member, said vertically positioned member having a horizontal mid section positioned above and horizontal to said roller and two downward projecting sides, each side having a lower terminal end, said terminal ends being connected to said bearings and a horizontally positioned U shaped member, said horizontally positioned member having a forward cross member having two ends and a backward projecting member at both ends of said forward cross member, said backward projecting members each having a terminal end, said terminal ends being rigidly affixed to said downward projecting sides of said vertically positioned member, said three point hitch being affixed to said frame.

4. An apparatus as described in claim 3, wherein said horizontal mid section further comprises a midpoint, said midpoint lying midway along the length of said horizontal mid section and wherein said forward cross member further comprises a midpoint, said three point hitch further comprising a third arm connecter and two lift connecters, said third arm connected being connected to said midpoint of said horizontal mid section and being braced to said midpoint of said forward cross member by said brace, said lift connecters being affixed to and positioned along the length of said forward cross member, each said lift connecter being positioned on either side of said midpoint of said forward cross member at a distance from each other so as to accommodate being connected to a standard tractor three point hitch.

5. An apparatus as described in claim 4, wherein said apparatus further comprises a jack stand, said jack stand having a stationary housing and a support traversing said housing, said housing being affixed to said midpoint of said forward cross member so as to adjust the height of said three point hitch and to support said frame while said apparatus is not in use.

6. An apparatus as described in claim 5 wherein said frame further comprises a scraper bar, said scraper bar having two ends, each said end being rigidly affixed to said downward projecting sides of said vertically positioned member in a position horizontal and adjacent to said roller
