A berm clearing attachment for removable securement to a road clearing vehicle, such as a bulldozer, road grader, hi-lift, dump truck, tractor, or skid-steer loader, for side or lateral dozing accumulated dirt and debris off of roads and road berms and away from guiderails by reciprocating laterally with respect to the longitudinal axis of the road clearing vehicle as the vehicle travels on the road and road berm. The berm clearing attachment includes a support framework removably securable to the front of the road clearing vehicle, and when used with the skid loader, the support framework would be removably securable to the front mounting plate of the loader. The berm clearing attachment includes an elongated cylinder housing mounted to the support framework transverse to the axis of travel of the loader along the road and road berm, an inner boom disposed within the cylinder housing and capable of selective, slidable, reciprocable extension and retraction within the cylinder housing in a direction lateral to the longitudinal axis of the loader, and a blade secured to the distal end of the inner boom. The berm clearing attachment also includes a pivoting cylinder secured to the support framework for selectively raising and lowering the cylinder housing with respect to the surface of the road so that the blade can be raised or lowered to facilitate side dozing of dirt and debris.

Berm clearing attachment for road clearing vehicles

Apparatus for patching or filling paved road surface cracks or joints includes means for simultaneously dispensing molten asphalt bitumen and monofilament strands of reinforcing fiber, wherein fiber roving is chopped into discrete segments and intermixed with the molten asphalt as the patching or joint filling application occurs. The apparatus is intended to be mounted on a mobile rig to facilitate its use, and includes an arrangement wherein the molten asphalt is continuously pumped out to a dispensing nozzle assembly and back to the storage reservoir on the rig whereby the flow maintains a continuous circuit from which the molten asphalt is selectively withdrawn for use in patching and filling operations. Also included is a means for selectively purging the circuit after use of the apparatus, and the method of utilizing the apparatus.
