Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a self-propelled road-milling machine for doing work on surfacings on the ground, and in particular carriageways. The road-milling machine according to the invention is characterized by a signalling arrangement which has at least one control unit for the entry of at least two different states of operation by the driver of the road-milling machine and at least one visual indicator or display unit to indicate or display for the driver of the transporting vehicle the at least two states of operation which are preset with the control unit by the driver of the road-milling machine. The first state of operation may be a request for the transporting vehicle to be braked or stopped and the second state of operation may be a request for the transporting vehicle to be started or to continue travelling. In a preferred embodiment of the visual indicator or display unit, the request for braking or stopping is shown as a cross and the request for starting or continued travel as an arrow.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A self-propelled road-milling machine, comprising: a chassis having two longitudinal sides; a driver's position arranged on the chassis for a driver of the road-milling machine; a milling drum supported from the chassis for milling off material; a material handling conveyor supported from the chassis for feeding the milled off material to a discharge point where the milled off material is to be received by a transporting vehicle separate from the road-…
