Hand-operated machine for moving and aligning kerbstones

摘要

The largely horizontal frame (3) of the machine is supported by two wheels (4) on a cross assembly. The operator uses handles (5) to push and guide the machine. The kerbstone (21) is gripped via blocks (18) secured to a scissor jack assembly (2). The kerbstone can be aligned, relative to the wheels via chains (8) and an operating lever (9, 10). When the operator is satisfied with the position of the kerbstone, a lever (6) is used to release the gripping mechanism, via a Bowden cable (7).
