ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises a device which automatically spreads road repair material over a pothole or crack in a road. The device has a spreader which is attached to the rear of a moving vehicle, such as a dump truck, which optionally has a quantity of road repair material stored therein. The repair material is deposited on the road surface either in the crack or pothole or immediately behind it. The spreader then passes over the hole and either smoothes the repair or fills the hold by carrying the repair material into the hole and simultaneously smoothes it over. The device has adjustment means whereby the spreader can conform to the contour or grade of the road to aid in the smoothing process. Use of the device eliminates the manual labor involved in making a road repair, and also accomplishes the repair quicker than has heretofore been possible.
