Vibrating compactor apparatus
First Claim
1. A vibrating compactor apparatus, comprising:
- a first frame having an adapter plate connectable to a vehicle, a first arm extending from the adapter plate, and a second arm extending from the adapter plate in a spaced apart relationship with the first arm;
a first vibration dampening member disposed through the first arm of the first frame;
a second vibration dampening member disposed through the second arm of the first frame;
a second frame having a motor mounting plate, a first leg extending from the motor mounting plate, and a second leg extending from the motor mounting plate in a spaced apart relationship with the first leg, the first leg interconnected to the first vibration dampening member and the second leg interconnected to the second vibration dampening member;
a compactor wheel rotatably connected to the first leg and the second leg of the second frame; and
a vibration motor mounted to the motor mounting plate of the second frame for imparting vibrational movement to the compactor wheel via the second frame,wherein the first vibration dampening member is interposed between a first outer rigid sleeve and a first inner rigid sleeve, the first outer rigid sleeve being connected to the first arm of the first frame, and wherein the second vibration dampening member is interposed between a second outer rigid sleeve and a second inner rigid sleeve, the second outer rigid sleeve being connected to the second arm of the first frame.

Abstract
A vibrating trench compactor apparatus including a first frame, a second frame, and a compactor wheel. The first frame has an adapter plate connectable to a vehicle and a first arm and second arm extending from the adapter plate. A plurality of vibration dampening members are disposed through each arm. The second frame has a motor mounting plate and a first leg and a second leg extending from the motor mounting plate where the first and second leg are interconnected to the vibration dampening members. The compactor wheel is rotatably connected to the first leg and the second leg and a vibration motor is mounted to the motor mounting plate of the second frame for imparting vibrational movement to the compactor wheel via the second frame.
