Abstract:
The impact compactor includes a damping arrangement which is connected between the first and second parts and which is configured to provide a damping function for the relative movement between the first and second parts. The damping arrangement includes an outer tubular member which defines a non-circular inner channel/passage; a non-circular inner shaft member which defines a first axis of rotation and which is positioned, at least partially, in the channel/passage defined by the outer tubular member; and at least one wedge formation which is wedged between the shaft member and the tubular member. The wedge formation is at least partially resiliently deformable and is configured to resist/oppose relative rotation between the shaft member and the tubular member about the first axis of rotation. One of the members is connected to the first part, while the other member is connected to the second part.

Claim (Index 34):
The impact compactor of  claim 33 , wherein:\n the body has a radially outer part which extends circumferentially around the axis of rotation and which, in use, engages a ground surface as it rolls there along during a surface compaction process; the outer part includes at least one salient point/portion which allows the compactor drum, during use, to produce a series of periodic impact blows on a soil surface over which it rolls by rising onto the salient point and thereafter dropping/falling down in order to produce an impact blow on the surface over which it travels; the outer part includes\n a re-entrant/concave portion which follows the salient point/portion as the compactor drum rolls on the surface in the first direction in order to facilitate the production of the impact blows when the compactor drum is rolled in the first direction, and \n a re-entrant/concave portion which follows the salient point/portion as the compactor drum rolls on the surface in the second direction in order to facilitate the production of the impact blows when the compactor drum is rolled in the second direction.
