Abstract:
The primary object of this invention is to provide a simple and highly efficient scraper for removing mud, dirt, gravel, etc., from the periphery of a wheel or roll of a road- roller. And further objects are to secure a uniform pressure of the scraper against the roll; to enable this pressure to be readily increased or lessened; and to enable the blade to be held out of contact with the roll without having to be removed from the machine.
Claim:

|
Marquis J. Todd |
Buffalo, Erie County, NY |
Abstract:
The primary object of this invention is to secure an even application of power to the rear roll of a tandem road-roller so as to avoid all twist and strain upon the spokes thereof, and to prolong the life of the gearing and avoid unequal strain upon the frame of the machine.
Claim:
In a road roller, in combination, a main frame, a roll mounted on said frame, continuous racks within the roll at the opposite ends thereof, two sets of gearing at opposite sides of the frame extending into the roll and in mesh with said racks, fixedly mounted shields fitted within the ends of said roll adjacent to said racks, said gearing comprising short shafts, brackets forming bearings for said short shafts mounted on said frame and extending into the roll, beyond the planes of said racks, pinions on said shafts in mesh with said racks, said brackets supporting said shafts on opposite sides of said pinions, and gear wheels on the outer ends of said short shafts, said shields having openings to accommodate said brackets, anal an engine driven shaft mounted on said main frame adjacent to said roll and having pinions in mesh with the gear wheels of said short shafts. |

Road Roller
|
Marquis J. Todd |
Buffalo, Erie County, NY |
Abstract:
It is well known in the art that in transporting road-rollers, more or less difficulty is experienced by skidding in passing over crowned roadbeds. This is due to the fact that the wide rollers by which the machines are steered have but limited contact with the road, namely, at the center, and this being in vertical line with the pivots of the roller-yokes the machines will rock to one side, and when being steered will usually skid toward the side of the road. It is my purpose to overcome this difficulty by making the front roll in sections so that the central section may be removed with the result that the machine may be used as a traction engine, the two end sections of the front roll serving as carrying wheels.
Claim:
A road-roller having front and rear carrying wheels, a roll designed to fit between the front carrying wheels and to form with the latter a front roll, and means carried by said roll for detachably securing it in place. |
