Abstract:
A concrete screeding device for screeding uncured concrete placed at a support surface includes a base structure, a rotating base rotatably mounted at the base structure and rotatable relative to the base structure about a first axis of rotation via a first rotating device, an articulating boom comprising multiple boom sections that are pivotable about respective pivot axes via respective actuators. A screed head is rotatably mounted at a distal end of the articulating boom and is rotatable about a second axis of rotation via a second rotating device. With the base structure positioned at the support surface, and with uncured concrete placed at the region, and responsive to a control input, the first rotating device, the actuators and the second rotating device cooperatively operate to move the screed head through multiple screeding passes over and along the uncured concrete to screed the uncured concrete placed at the region.

Claim (Index 15):
A concrete screeding device for screeding uncured concrete placed at a support surface, said concrete screeding device comprising:\n a base structure positionable at a support surface at or near a region to be screeded; a rotating base rotatably mounted at said base structure and rotatable relative to said base structure about a first axis of rotation via a first rotating device; an articulating boom comprising (i) a first boom section that is pivotally mounted at said rotating base and pivotable about a first pivot axis via a first actuator, (ii) at least one intermediate boom section having a proximal end pivotally mounted at a distal end of said first boom section and pivotable about a second pivot axis via a second actuator, and (iii) a screed head support pivotally mounted at a distal end of said at least one intermediate boom section and pivotable about a third pivot axis via a third actuator; wherein the first pivot axis is orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the first boom section, and wherein the third pivot axis is orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the screed head support; a screed head rotatably mounted at said screed head support, wherein said screed head is rotatable about a second axis of rotation via a second rotating device; wherein said screed head includes a vibrating member and a grade setting device, and wherein grade setting actuators of said screed head adjust a position of said grade setting device relative to said vibrating member responsive to at least one sensor disposed at said screed head; a control that operates said first rotating device, said first actuator, said second actuator, and said second rotating device responsive to a control input; wherein, with said base structure positioned at the support surface at or near the region to be screeded, and with uncured concrete placed at the region, and responsive to the control input, said control cooperatively operates said first rotating device, said first actuator, said second actuator, said third actuator and said second rotating device to move said screed head through multiple screeding passes over and along the uncured concrete to screed the uncured concrete placed at the region; wherein, at a start of each screeding pass of the multiple screeding passes, said control, responsive to the control input, cooperatively operates at least some of said first rotating device, said first actuator, said second actuator, said third actuator and said second rotating device to position said screed head at a starting position for the respective screeding pass; wherein, during each screeding pass of the multiple screeding passes, said control cooperatively operates at least some of said first rotating device, said first actuator, said second actuator, said third actuator and said second rotating device to move said screed head along the respective screeding pass; and wherein, during each screeding pass of the multiple screeding passes, and responsive to said at least one sensor disposed at said screed head, said grade setting actuators adjust the position of said grade setting device relative to said vibrating member to establish a selected grade at the uncured concrete as said screed head is moved along the respective screeding pass to screed the uncured concrete placed at the region.
