Textile-reinforced concrete road paving apparatus and method of repairing concrete road pavement using the same
A textile-reinforced concrete road paving apparatus and a method of repairing concrete road pavement can minimize use of construction equipment by using the textile-reinforced concrete road paving apparatus integrally formed to consecutively cut concrete, dispose a reinforcement material, and construct a repaired cross section so as to reduce a construction period, thereby remarkably reducing construction costs. Further, a textile grid reinforcement material, which is a noncorroding reinforcement material, is applied to form the repaired cross section of the concrete road pavement so as to prevent concrete from being detached due to corrosion. Further, a textile reinforced grid is precisely disposed at a required position, and thus the thicknesses of the primary and secondary concrete pavement are precisely adjusted, and thus construction precision can be increased.

Broom attachment for vehicle
An apparatus for grooming a sports field is provided. The apparatus includes a broom assembly. The broom assembly may include a broom head having a top surface and an opposite bottom surface, a plurality of bristles extending outwardly from the bottom surface of the broom head, a plate secured to the top surface of the broom head and extending longitudinally along the top surface of the broom head, and a stiffener secured to the plate and extending longitudinally along the top surface of the broom head. The apparatus may further include a first connection assembly extending forwardly from the plate and a second connection assembly parallel with and spaced apart from the first arm and extending forwardly from the plate. The broom assembly may have an operative position wherein bristles of the broom assembly engage the ground and a stowed position wherein the broom assembly is positioned above the ground and locked in place such that the broom assembly does not engage the ground.

VEHICLE FOR PATCHING A ROAD PAVEMENT AND A METHOD THEREFOR
A vehicle for patching road pavements comprising a frame, a container for holding the new paving material, a radiating plate, a rake, a paver for distributing and levelling a new paving material, a compactor and a support structure which comprises a movable part. The frame supports the support structure and the container which comprises an outlet for supplying the paver. The movable part bears the paver, the rake and the compactor and translates with respect to the frame in a first direction from a retracted position to an extracted position so that they operate on successive parts of the zone to be patched. The radiating plate is movable vertically beneath the frame and the rake is vertically movable with respect to the paver and the compactor.
