Abstract

A soil extraction system attachable to and powered by a mobile machine.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A vacuum excavation attachment for a mobile machine having an integral hydraulic system, said attachment comprising:
 a) a means for attaching or detaching the vacuum excavation attachment to said mobile machine;   b) a means for hydraulically attaching or detaching the vacuum excavation attachment to the hydraulic system of the mobile machine;   c) a compressed fluid system powered by the hydraulic system of the mobile machine; and   d) a vacuum system powered by the hydraulic system of the mobile machine.   
   
   
       2 . A vacuum excavation attachment of  claim 1 , wherein said means for attaching comprises a universal mounting plate. 
   
   
       3 . A vacuum excavation attachment of  claim 1 , wherein said means for hydraulically attaching comprises a quick connect coupling. 
   
   
       4 . A vacuum excavation attachment of  claim 1 , wherein said fluid jet system and said vacuum system perform their function simultaneously. 
   
   
       5 . A vacuum excavation attachment of  claim 1 , wherein said fluid jet system comprises a fluid conveying wand having a nozzle for delivering a pressurized fluid. 
   
   
       6 . A vacuum excavation attachment of  claim 1 , wherein said vacuum system comprises a spoils container. 
   
   
       7 . A vacuum excavation attachment of  claim 1 , wherein said vacuum system comprises a suction hose 
   
   
       8 . A vacuum excavation attachment of  claim 1 , wherein said vacuum system comprises an air filtering means. 
   
   
       9 . A vacuum excavation attachment of  claim 1 , wherein said vacuum system comprises a means for silencing air leaving said vacuum system. 
   
   
       10 . A vacuum excavation attachment for a mobile machine, said attachment comprising:
 a) a means for attaching or detaching the vacuum excavation attachment to said mobile machine;   b) a means for attaching or detaching the vacuum excavation attachment to the power system of the mobile machine;   c) a compressed fluid system powered by the mobile machine; and   d) a vacuum system powered by the mobile machine.   
   
   
       11 . A vacuum excavation attachment of  claim 10 , wherein said means for attaching comprises a universal mounting plate. 
   
   
       12 . A vacuum excavation attachment of  claim 10 , wherein said fluid jet system and said vacuum system perform their function simultaneously. 
   
   
       13 . A vacuum excavation attachment of  claim 10 , wherein said fluid jet system comprises a fluid conveying wand having a nozzle for delivering a pressurized fluid. 
   
   
       14 . A vacuum excavation attachment of  claim 10 , wherein said vacuum system comprises a spoils container. 
   
   
       15 . A vacuum excavation attachment of  claim 10 , wherein said vacuum system comprises a suction hose 
   
   
       16 . A vacuum excavation attachment of  claim 10 , wherein said vacuum system comprises an air filtering means. 
   
   
       17 . A vacuum excavation attachment of  claim 10 , wherein said vacuum system comprises a means for silencing air leaving said vacuum system.
