Concrete stamping machine and roller attachment

Abstract

A concrete stamping system is provided, comprising: a base plate; a handle mounted to the base plate; a vibrator secured to a top of the base plate; and a roller attachment secured to a bottom of the base plate. The roller attachment comprises: a frame; and a plurality of parallel rollers mounted on axles extending across the frame and secured within the frame. When the vibrator is activated, vibrations generated by the vibrator are transmitted through the base plate, through the rollers, and into a stamping mat between the rollers and fresh concrete. The system is rollable across the stamping map by an operator.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A concrete stamping system, comprising:
 a base plate   a handle mounted to the base plate;   a vibrator secured to a top of the base plate; and   a roller attachment secured to a bottom of the base plate, comprising:   a frame; and   a plurality of parallel rollers mounted on axles extending across the frame and secured within the frame, whereby, when the vibrator is activated, vibrations generated by the vibrator are transmitted through the base plate, through the rollers, and into a stamping mat between the rollers and fresh concrete, and whereby the system is rollable across the stamping map by an operator.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the roller attachment is removably secured to the bottom of the base plate. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the vibrator is powered by a battery. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the vibrator is powered by AC current. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a switch electrically coupled to the vibrator and configured to activate and deactivate the vibrator. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 5 , further comprising a controller electrically coupled to the vibrator and configured to vary the intensity of vibrations generated by the vibrator. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a pressurized sprayer mounted to the handle or base plate and adapted to spray a release agent onto the concrete. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a sprayer secured fillable with a liquid for applying to the concrete. 
     
     
         9 . A roller attachment securable to a concrete stamping vibrator machine, comprising:
 a frame removably mountable to the vibrator machine;   a plurality of parallel axles extending across the frame and secured to opposing sides of the frame; and   a plurality of elongated rollers mounted on the axles, whereby, when the vibrator machine is activated, vibrations generated by the vibrator machine are transmitted through the base plate, through the rollers, and into a stamping mat between the rollers and fresh concrete, and whereby the vibrator machine is rollable across the stamping mat by an operator.
