Abstract
The invention relates to a road finisher with a chassis having a front bucket for receiving packing material and a conveying device for conveying the packing material from the bucket to a rear spreader screw arrangement which is arranged transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis of the road finisher and in front of a consolidation plank which is extendable, the consolidation plank, which is connected to the chassis via pulling arms and floats on the packing material, being divided centrally in the direction of the longitudinal axis into two plank halves, the consolidation plank being provided with a device for adjusting the inclination of two halves with respect to each other and having outer side cheeks. In order to counteract twisting of the consolidation plank and opening of the gap between the two plank halves, a clamping device, the clamping force of which can be set by a cylinder articulated on the chassis, is arranged between the chassis and the lower region of the outer side cheek.
