Abstract
A soil extraction system attachable to and powered by a mobile machine.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . 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.Cited by (0)
