- a movable vehicle capable of distributing paving material;
a laterally elongated screed disposed on the vehicle for forming a substantially level mat of the paving material;
a continuously movable edger comprising a substantially vertical plate having a bottom edge and journaled on an end of the floating screed to pivot on a substantially vertical axis;
remotely controlled powered means to move and secure the edger at a selected horizontal angle relative to the screed to control distribution of paving material beyond an end of the screed during a paving operation;

Abstract
A paving apparatus has an edger which is journaled on a screed by a hinge. The edger swings out to allow paving material to fill areas beyond the screed which are not part of the primary surface being paved, such as intersecting driveways. The edger is a vertical plate with a horizontal wear plate along its bottom edge. The angle of the wear plate relative to the bottom edge is adjustable to allow for ditches and ramps which are sloped relative to the surface being paved. Movement of the edger and wear plate can be manual or power driven.
