Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for repairing road surfaces mix aggregate and liquified crack sealer on demand into mastic material for direct delivery to the road surfaces. Aggregate flows from a tilted box of a dump truck into a hopper and is conveyed by an auger into a tubular horizontal chamber. Liquified crack sealer is deliverable from a tank to the road surface or into the tubular horizontal chamber where it is mixed with the aggregate by a device into mastic material which is pushed through a vertical opening for delivery directly to the road surfaces. The frame which supports the hopper, conveyor, tank, and tubular horizontal chamber is movably supported on the road surfaces and is hitched to the dump truck.

Claim (Index 20):
The apparatus of  claim 19 , wherein the conveyor includes a tube in fluid communication with the chamber and with the aggregate being conveyed in the tube; with the apparatus further comprising, in combination: a first heater heating air in the tube and heating the aggregate being conveyed in the tube and with the air passing from the tube into the chamber for maintaining temperature of the mastic material in the chamber; and a second heater heating the tank and heating the liquified creak sealer in the tank, with the second heater being in heat communication with the chamber for maintaining the temperature of the mastic material in the chamber.
