Patent CA-2414334-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MCGIVERY JOHN W
IPC: E01C23/09
Filed: 2002-12-13
Abstract: A system and method of cutting a core out of a finished surface for keyhole excavation provides a truck with a turret to which a support arm supporting the cutter assembly is mounted, and a stabilizing member remote from the turret, which allows the turret to be rotated about its complete arc of motion while stabilizing the support arm at any desired position about the truck. In a first embodiment the invention comprises an upstanding support rim affixed to or integrated into the bed of the truck. In a further embodiment the invention comprises a support member affixed to the horizontal arm and supported by the truck bed. This makes the keyhole excavation procedure safer and more precise, and allows a larger- depth cutting head to be used in order to penetrate thicker finished surfaces.
