The construction machine includes: an input interface which permits an input of a provisional target position of the attachment in a virtual space; a target position calculation part which calculates an actual target position that is a target position of the attachment in a real space from the provisional target position; an operational amount calculation part which calculates an operational amount required to make a current position of the attachment coincide with the actual target position of the attachment coincide with the actual target position with respect to at least one driven target selected from a lower traveling body, an upper slewing body, a working device, and the attachment; and a control part which controls an operation of one of the actuators for driving the driven target in accordance with the calculated target operational amount.

A concrete removing apparatus comprises a claw, a cleaving blade, and a bracket. The claw generally has a lower portion, a back portion, and an upper portion. The lower portion generally has a bottom surface, a sloped top surface, and extends forward from the back portion. The upper portion generally extends forward from the back portion partially overhanging the bottom portion and forming a locking notch defined by a front edge of the back portion, a bottom surface of the upper portion, and the top surface of the bottom portion. The cleaving blade is generally attached to a rear surface of the back portion of the claw. The bracket is generally mounted on a top surface of the upper portion of the claw and configured to pivotally connect the bracket to an arm and a hydraulic cylinder of a construction machine.

A tooth shroud for a demolition tool is disclosed wherein forces produced during demolition operations may be dissipated so as to avoid excessive forces at stress points. A tooth block for a demolition tool comprises a first tooth shroud and a second tooth shroud. The first and second tooth shroud each comprising a body having a front wall and an end wall wherein a cavity is enclosed by the front wall and the end wall; an impact member extending longitudinally from the body; and a cut-out disposed on the end wall, wherein the first tooth shroud is connected to the second tooth shroud.

A method of decoupling a cylinder from a jaw in a demolition tool is disclosed. The jaw may have spaced apart first and second lugs. The method may include unlocking a first end of a pin from a first lug. The pin may have a groove adjacent the first end. The method may include rotating the first and second lugs in a first direction (A) from a first lug position to a second lug position wherein the pin slides through the first and second lugs and the first end moves from the first lug to the second lug to uncouple the cylinder from the jaw. The method may also include engaging a locking element biasingly supported on the second lug into the groove to retain the pin at the second lug. Further, the method may include moving the cylinder from between the spaced apart first and second lugs.

A pulverizing attachment for an excavator and a method of removably rigidly retaining teeth to one or more jaws of a pulverizer. A plurality of tooth members each have a longitudinal slot with a cross-sectional shape and a relief slot extending substantially transverse to the longitudinal slot producing a flexible end portion capable of deflection upon application of a longitudinal compression force. The tooth rails having a complimentary cross-sectional shape to the longitudinal slot slidably receive the tooth members. The complimentary shape of the longitudinal slot and tooth rail in cooperation with a longitudinal compression force applied to deflect the flexible end portions of each of the tooth members rigidly retains the tooth members on the tooth rails fixed to the pulverizer jaws.

A hydraulically activated shear is provided. The shear includes: a first jaw; a second jaw sliding past the first jaw in a shearing motion; and a first cutting plate attached to at least one side of the first and second jaws, the first cutting plate defining a shear edge and a shear surface, the shear surface having a positive camber with respect to a plane perpendicular to the jaws, wherein at least one of the first and second jaws is actuated by a hydraulic cylinder.

An articulable-arm-mountable pulverisation apparatus (10) is provided for reducing material size. The apparatus (10) includes a material-receiving housing (12) having a material-processing chamber (22a), a discharge outlet portion (22b), and a drive-unit compartment (22c). The apparatus (10) also has an articulable-arm mounting element (18) for releasably attaching the apparatus (10) to an articulable arm of an excavating machine. The apparatus (10) also includes a rotatable element (56) in the material-processing chamber (22a). The rotatable element (56) has a side surface which, together with an interior surface of the material-processing chamber (22a), forms a tapering pulverising material flow-path towards the discharge outlet portion (22b). A unitary drive unit (16) is provided in the drive-unit compartment (22c). The drive-unit compartment (22c) has an openable access cover (50), whereby the unitary drive unit (16) can be slidably removed in an axial direction as one-piece from the drive-unit compartment (22c) for utilisation of the unitary drive unit (16) in a different apparatus.

Heavy-duty material processors (e.g., shears, concrete crushers) include a jaw that pivotally connects to another jaw. A hydraulic cylinder extends between the jaws to open and close the jaws in a shearing motion. Cutting/shearing/crushing blade inserts mount to detachable blade holders, which in turn mount to one of the jaws. Wedge blocks securely and detachably attach the blade inserts to the remainder of their associated jaw, and rely on force-amplifying wedge surfaces to ensure a secure attachment. The detachable blade holders may include lateral flanges that extend across an otherwise exposed face of their respective underlying jaw bodies to protect the jaw bodies during use. A blade on one of the jaws is laterally adjustable, which helps to free a jam if one of the jaws gets jammed into the space between blades in the other jaw.

As shearing blades of a first jaw portion, a shearing machines includes: a tip blade; a pair of first parallel shearing blades bent at an obtuse angle to the biting direction of the tip blade and disposed both sides of the blade width; and a pair of second parallel shearing blades bent at an obtuse angle to an attaching portion of the first parallel shearing blades and disposed on both sides of the blade width. As a tip blade, the shearing machine includes: a point blade a pair of tip tapered blades disposed on both sides of an end portion and whose blade width is increased toward the rear end; and a pair of tapered blades bent at an obtuse angle to an attaching portion of the rear end portion of the tip tapered blades and disposed toward the first parallel shearing blades.

The present disclosure relates to a vehicular work machine (10) that is adapted for handling at least two different interchangeable tools (4). The machine (10) also comprises a user control device (11) and a water supply arrangement (31) that is adapted to distribute water for retaining dust that is created when a tool (4) is used, The water supply arrangement (31) comprises a controllable valve (24) that is arranged to control the flow of the water that is distributed via at least one nozzle (29). The user control device (11) is arranged for selection of a desired tool, where at least one selectable tool is associated with a certain predefined water setting. Each water setting relates to a certain relative flow of distributed water during a certain time that is related to the time said tool (4) is chosen and performing a certain work procedure, and/or to the time said tool (4) is chosen and ready to perform a certain work procedure.
