First Claim
Patent Images
1. A vacuum head for use with a pavement saw, which saw is rotationally pivotable about a primary axis to vary a depth of a cut relative to a pavement surface, the vacuum head comprising:
- a head portion having at least one opening for placement in communication with a pavement surface, the head portion being positionable adjacent a blade of the pavement saw; and
an outlet portion in communication with the head portion and connectable to a vacuum hose of a vacuum system;
wherein the vacuum head is separately mountable along the primary axis such that said vacuum head rotationally pivots about the primary axis independent of the movement of the saw.

9. A device for culling a pavement surface, the device comprising:
-
a pavement saw including at least a drive wheel and a saw blade mounted on at least one drive wheel that defines a primary axis, the pavement saw being rotationally pivotable about the primary axis to vary the depth of a cut in the pavement surface; and a vacuum head separately mounted along the primary axis of the pavement saw such that the vacuum head pivots about the primary axis independent of the movement of the pavement saw. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
