A roller assembly for smoothing an expanse of granular media such as golf bunker sand, snow, horse race track dirt, or other media. The assembly has one or more rollers having a longitudinal axis. Each roller includes wires spaced from the axis to define a roller surface. Each wire is resiliently flexible to distort inwardly in response to force of contact on, and to recover during release of force from, the granular media as the roller rotates about the axis on the granular media. A shaft extends along the axis of the roller assembly between the arms of a yoke with a handle extending therefrom. As the roller surface traverses the media, at least some of the media is flung outwardly of the roller, smoothing the expanse. The roller assembly may be manually operated or may be towed behind a towing apparatus.

A roller tool for a soil processing roller includes a tool carrier to be fixed to an outer circumferential side of a carrier jacket and has a tethering area for fixedly tethering the tool carrier to an outer circumferential surface of the carrier jacket and an interchangeable holder clamping region, an interchangeable tool having an interchangeable tool shank elongated in the direction of a shank longitudinal axis, an interchangeable holder having an interchangeable holder opening elongated in the direction of an opening longitudinal axis for receiving the interchangeable tool shank of the interchangeable tool to be detachably fixed to the interchangeable holder and with an interchangeable holder counter-clamping region. The interchangeable holder counter-clamping region is brought into clamping interaction with the interchangeable holder clamping region for detachably fixing the interchangeable holder to the tool carrier. A clamping member is supported for generating the clamping interaction with respect to the tool carrier and the interchangeable holder.

A roller tool for a soil processing roller of a soil processing machine incudes a tool holder to be fixed on an outer peripheral side of a carrier casing. The tool holder has an attachment region for fixed attachment on an outer peripheral surface of the carrier casing and a tool holder opening elongated in the direction of an opening longitudinal axis for accommodating a replaceable tool shaft of a replaceable tool to be detachably fixed on the tool holder. The tool holder includes a first tool holder part, wherein the attachment region is provided completely on the first tool holder part, and a second tool holder part to be detachably attached to the first tool holder part. The second tool holder part, together with the first tool holder part, delimits the tool holder opening in the circumferential direction around the opening longitudinal axis.

An apparatus for contouring particulate material may include a frame and at least one drum rotatably mounted on the frame such that the drum rotates substantially freely with respect to the frame about a central longitudinal axis. The drum may have opposite inboard and outboard ends and an outer surface therebetween. At least one blade may extend about the drum and protrude outwardly from the outer surface of the drum, and the blade may have an outer edge with a radius measured from the central longitudinal axis in a plane oriented in perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis of the drum to the outer edge. The outer edge of the blade may have a helical shape and the radius of the outer edge may be less at the outboard end of the drum than the radius of the outer edge at the inboard end of the drum.

The present invention relates to a rubber tire roller for ground compaction, comprising a machine frame and an operating platform and front and rear undercarriages supporting the machine frame, wherein the undercarriages each comprise at least one wheel. A fundamental idea of the present invention lies in viewing indentations that are open to the side.

A soil preparation roller system for a soil preparation machine includes a roller body rotatable around a roller rotational axis having a carrier structure for the rotatable mounting of the roller body and having a carrier jacket supported on the radial outside on the carrier structure, a group of working jackets to be positioned abutting a carrier jacket outer side and providing a working outer side of a soil preparation roller. Each working jacket includes a plurality of working jacket segments to be arranged successively in the circumferential direction completely enclosing the roller body annularly, and the group of working jackets includes at least two working jackets having essentially equal mass to one another.

A sheath for a soil working roller (20) of a soil processing machine, said sheath is rotatable about a roller axis of rotation and comprises a plurality of sheath segments (40), mounted or mountable to surround a roller body (22) of the soil working roller (20) and following one another in the circumferential direction, wherein a plurality of roller tools (48) is arranged on an outer side of the sheath segments (40) positioned to be facing away from the roller body, wherein at least one part of the roller tools (48) comprise an interchangeable holder mounted on a respective sheath segment (48) and a replaceable tool detachably mounted or mountable on the interchangeable holder of the same, wherein a fastening opening is formed in the interchangeable holder for accommodating a fastening shaft of a replaceable tool mounted or to be mounted on the interchangeable holder, wherein a tool through opening (84) is provided in association with the at least one interchangeable holder in the sheath segment (40) supporting the same.

A soil working roller for a soil processing machine comprises a roller body (22), rotatable about a roller axis of rotation (W), with a support structure (28) for rotatable mounting of the roller body (22) and with a support sheath (34) supported radially outward on the support structure (22), further comprising a working sheath (38), which contacts a support sheath outer side (36) and provides a working exterior (46) of the soil working roller (20) and comprises a plurality of working sheath segments (40), following one another in the circumferential direction, wherein each working sheath segment (40) has a segment shell (42) and a plurality of radially inwardly projecting fastening means (76) are fixedly arranged on each segment shell (42) facing the support sheath outer side (36) of the support sheath (34) and/or on the segment shell inner side supporting the support sheath outer side (36), and wherein a fastening means through opening (78) is provided in the support sheath (34) in association with each fastening means (76), and each fastening means (76) engaging through a fastening means through opening (78) projects on a support sheath inner side of the support sheath (34) for fastening to or with respect to the roller body (22).
