Patent 9353491 was granted and assigned to BOMAG on May, 2016 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Described is an ejector unit for a milling drum of a mobile ground preparation machine comprising a discharge side and a reverse side that is opposite to the discharge side. It comprises a basic unit on the drum and an ejector plate, which is held on the basic unit by means of screw-threaded bolts. There is a positive fit between the basic unit and the ejector plate, which positive fit involves at least one pin, on the one hand, and at least one complementary cylindrical counterbore on the other hand, whereby the at least one pin and the at least one ejector are oriented so as to be coaxial to the longitudinal axis of the screw-threaded bolts. Preferably, a shoulder is also provided along the base of the basic unit on its side facing the ejector plate, and the ejector plate has at least one complementary shoulder, whereby the shoulder on the basic unit and the at least one shoulder on the plate have meshing regions, which in the mounted state prevent transverse displacements in three directions.
