- the paving material deposited as shown in FIG. 12 will be generally in the center of the roadbed and the operator excrcises control of distribution by adjusting the auger 114 to properly position paving material such that strike-off moldboard 116 will form the paving material at a desired level without undue head buildup of excess material along its leading edge.
- the auger 114 may have each half separately controlled; for example, the right half may be operated to move paving material to the right at a high rate of revolution and the left half of auger 114 will be rotated to move paving material oppositely in the leftward direction.
- the truck operator can accelerate and drive off by whatever access roads to pickup a next load of paving material.

- Cutter auger 350 also includes an interstitial helical array of cutter assemblies 356.
- the cutter assemblies 356 may be an adjustable toothed cutter as specifically disclosed in the aforementioned US Pat. No. 3,423,859. or they may be simply the generally rectangular hammer teeth as shown.
- the use of cutter auger 350 would be similar to that proposed for auger 114. That is, the cutter auger 350 would be employed in two halves and in cnd-to-end alignment, and it may be separately controllable as to speed and direction of rotation from the operators console Ill).
- FIGS. 16A and 16B depict a Maxon type of side-dumping truck as modified for use with distribution machine 10.
- a sidedumping truck includes a truck bed 360 having a symmetrically shaped carriage bed 362 which is suitably supported by conventional structure from truck bed 360 so that it is capable of rotation in the direction indicated by arrow 364 to dump its load at the side as shown in FIG. 168.
- the truck bed 362 may be further modified to include a side-chute panel 366 which is hingedly secured by a hinge assembly 368 to the carriage bed 362.
- the side chute 366 may then be placed in its upright or closed position during transport of paving material, and the dumping action allows it to fall away and then to direct the material into the dumping area. 1
- the funneling structure consists of a front deflecting plate 370, a rear deflecting plate 372 and a hopper chute 374 which is disposed to direct paving material into the hopper portion 60 of conveyor 58.
- the funncling structure is supported about front and rear support braces 376 and 378 which are suitably securedby rigid fastening to the respective front and rear upper columns 82 and 86.
- the side deflector 370 is then secured to brace 376 and it is formed to project a plate 380 having a rearwardly bent lower portion 382 which directs within the hopper funnel l6 and 18 can be directly flange 374.
- the rear side deflecting plate 372 secured to brace 378 is formed to have a side panel 384 with a forwardly bent lower portion 286.
- hopper funnel 374 is formed with a front brace 388, a suitable channel member or such, having a side panel 390 and slanting front and rear panels 392 and 394 which extend downward within the upper opening of hopper portion 60.
- a tubular axle 396 is pivotally supported in horizontal position over the conveyor 58 by front and rear hangers 393 and 395 which are secured to each of upper columns and 86.
- the axle 396 extends through opposite from and rear panels 392 and 394 and it is securely affixed thereon, as by welding or such, so that rotation ofaxle 396 will rotate hopper chute 374 upward and away from the immediate area over chute portion 60.
- the axle 396 has an actuating lever 400 affixed thereto and this is pivotally connected to a push rod 402 which is supported by a'suitable cable 404 in position for contact with a cup 406 when conveyor 58 is moved to its outboard position.
- the cup 406 is welded at a selected point along chute portion 62 of conveyor 58 such that it will catch the end of rod 402 to turn actuating lever 400 and axle 396 to rotate hopper chute 374 upward.
- the employ of the hopper chute 374 and the side-dumping capability can enable a marked increase in the speed of supply of paving material to a paving train.
- trucks of both the rear-dumping and side-dumping types may be used, and to best advantage, by alternating their respective delivery of loads to the distribution machine 10.
- a sidedumping truck can be brought along side to dispense its paving material into the hopper chute 374 and hopper 60 whereu pon the operator moves the paving material up chute 62 and drops it at selected'points along the roadbed for spreading distribution.
- conveyor 58 would be operated to its outboard position as shown in FIG. 12. This movement of conveyor 58 would also bring contacting cup 406 against push rod 402 to rotate axle 396 and move the hopper chute- 374 upward and out of contact with any paving material which is dumped in hopper portion 60. Thereafter, the paving material is conveyed through and up chute portion 62 for dumping at a selected point in the roadbed.
- the next alternate load would be supplied by another side-dumpingdump truck and inward movement of conveyor 58 strikes actuating lever 400 to allow the hopper chute 374 to fall downward into position for the side-dumping operation.
- Such usage of different dump truck types in alternation can enable very fast laydown of paving material with limitations imposed only by the number of trucks and the proximity of the batch plant or other such source.
- the foregoing discloses a novel road construction machine which is capable of versatile-operation in receiving and plate ing wettcd paving material along a roadbed.
- the invention enables deposition of paving material along a roatlbed without necessitating movement of any machinery on the roadbed itself. Such operation is often necessary when certain subgrade materials and/or reinforcement wire or steel are placed in the roadbed.
- the invention enables a paving material receiving and depositing apparatus which is capable of effecting all functions while continuously moving forward along the roadbed.
- the apparatus may be automatically controlled as to steering and level functions such that a single operator may devote full attention to the depositing and spreading operations to provide optimum placement of unfinished paving material along the roadbed.
- a roadway construction machine for distributing paving material in a roadway comprising:
- conveyor support means secured to said frame means and supporting said conveyor means in said transverse orientation for reciprocal movement endwise to vary the trans verse positioning of said conveyor means between limits wherein, one extent places the material receiving means of said conveyor means to the side of said roadway and the related side mobile means, and the other extent places the entire conveyor means between said opposite side mobile means and above said roadway.
