In a device for inserting dowels ( ) in the vicinity of transverse expansion joints of freshly laid concrete road surfaces ( ), comprising a machine frame ( ) supported by traveling mechanisms ( ), at least one storage container ( ) for the dowels ( ), a smoothing board ( ) resting on the road surface ( ) and including slits ( ) running in a direction of travel and provided for accommodating the dowels ( ), a retaining device ( ) for the dowels on the slots ( ), and a dowel placing device ( ), it is provided that a line conveyor device ( ) accepts separated dowels ( ) in a section ( ) of a bottom or lateral area ( ) of the storage container ( ) and delivers the dowels ( ) to the slots in the smoothing board ( ).

Device for inserting dowels into freshly laid road surfaces

A slip-form paver is provided in the form of a tractor ( ) including a machine frame ( ) having substantially parallel longitudinal beams ( ) at opposite ends of which are track assemblies ( ). The machine frame ( ) includes a base frame ( ) and telescopic cross beams ( ) located between the base frame ( ) and the longitudinal beams ( ). An intermediate frame ( ) is located beneath the base frame ( ) and is selectively vertically adjustable. Two working mechanisms ( ) are in transverse relationship to the longitudinal beams ( ), and the latter are transversely shiftable to selectively lengthen or shorten the overall transverse working width of the paver.
