ABSTRACT:
A system for applying a coating to a traffic surface utilizes a power driven unit that dispenses coating constituents onto the traffic surface as the unit moves forwardly across the traffic surface along a path of travel. The unit includes a wheel supported transport carriage beneath which is provided at least one set of applicator tools that rotates relative to the carriage about a substantially vertically extending center axis. A hollow, tubular stub shaft and bearings connect the set of tools to the carriage for rotation about the center axis. As the unit moves forwardly, at least a portion of the coating constituents that are being dispensed onto the traffic surface are ducted along the center axis through the hollow stub shaft for discharge substantially centrally relative to the associated set of rotating tools, whereby the set of rotating tools is brought into engagement with deposited constituents, thereby causing the tools mix the constituents in situ, and to spread and apply the mixed constituents to coat the traffic surface in a highly effective manner. One or more storage compartments are defined atop the transport carriage for containing bulk quantities of coating constituents, and an adjustable valving system is provided to regulate the dispensing of the coating constituents. Tubular arms pivotally connect with the hollow stub shaft for rotation therewith and for rotating the tools about the center axis. The weight of the tools and their associated arms serves to bias the tools toward engagement with the traffic surface. A trailing finishing blade depends from the carriage to effect final smoothing of the applied coating, and to minimize wheel marks in the resulting coating.
