Patent ID: 8221026

Claim:
A paving screed for a road paver comprising a base screed and at least one extension screed which is provided at the base screed offset in a working travelling direction and which is extendable and retractable relative to the base screed in a linear sliding direction, a pivotable base guiding structure for the extension screed, a guiding sub-structure that is guided in the base guiding structure and at least a first actuator for sliding the guiding sub-structure over a first stroke relative to the base guiding structure, an extension guiding structure guided in the guiding sub-structure, and at least a second actuator for sliding the extension guiding structure over a second stroke relative to the guiding sub-structure, a sole plate frame structure mounted to the extension guiding structure and having an extension screed sole plate, vertical guidances, and elevation adjustment assemblies extending in a substantially vertical direction in relation to the sliding direction, for adjusting the elevation of the sole plate frame structure parallel to itself and relative to the base guiding structure, the base guiding structure being supported in the base screed by a slope hinge having a hinge axis extending at least substantially parallel to the working travelling direction of the paving screed, the slope hinge defining a pivot support for the base guiding structure, the at least one actuator anchored to the base screed engages with the base guiding structure at a distance from the slope hinge, and the extension screed is located at the front side of the base screed, and wherein the slope hinge is arranged closer to an end of the base screed connected to the extension screed than the first actuator.
