SIDE-STEP CONCRETE SCREEDING APPARATUS
An apparatus for screeding concrete to produce a level finished surface includes a frame assembly having a pair of spaced vertically oriented stabilization legs secured to the front end thereof supporting a generally horizontal front member. An extendable boom assembly is secured to the frame assembly at a first end and to a screed head at a second end. A side-step assembly includes an actuator with an extendable arm secured to the boom assembly to impart generally lateral motion.
1 . An apparatus for screeding concrete to produce a level finished surface comprising:
a frame assembly having a front end and rear end, the frame assembly supporting a generally horizontal front member therebetween;
a drive assembly rotatably secured to support the frame assembly;
an extendable boom assembly secured to the frame assembly at a first end and to a screed head at a second end, the extendable boom assembly adjustably disposed on the front member; and
a side-step assembly having an actuator with an extendable arm thereon, the actuator secured at a point to the front member, and the extendable arm secured to the boom assembly to impart generally lateral motion thereto.
2 . An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein the actuator is an hydraulic actuator.
3 . An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein the actuator is a linear actuator.
4 . An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 comprising:
a pair of spaced vertically oriented stabilization legs secured to the front end of the frame, the spaced legs supporting a generally horizontal front member therebetween.
5 . An apparatus as claimed in claim 4 comprising:
a vertically oriented stabilization leg secured to the frame assembly at the rear end thereof, whereby the stabilization legs level the frame and the screed head.
6 . An apparatus for screeding concrete to produce a level finished surface comprising:
a frame assembly having a front end and rear end, the frame assembly supporting a generally horizontal front member therebetween;
an extendable boom assembly secured to the frame assembly at a first end and to a screed head at a second end, the extendable boom assembly adjustably disposed on the front member; and
a side-step assembly having an actuator with an extendable arm thereon, the actuator secured at a point to the front member, and the extendable arm secured to the boom assembly to impart generally lateral motion thereto.
7 . An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein the actuator is an hydraulic actuator.
8 . An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein the actuator is a linear actuator.
9 . An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 comprising:
a pair of spaced vertically oriented stabilization legs secured to the front end of the frame, the spaced legs supporting a generally horizontal front member therebetween; and
a vertically oriented stabilization leg secured to the frame assembly at the rear end thereof, whereby the stabilization legs level the frame and the screed head.
