A vertically floating head cutter mechanism (20) comprising a mounting shroud (100) having an open bottom (106) and being suspended from a vehicle (22) in substantially vertically movable relation by a plurality of vertical guides (110). The vertical guides define upper and lower limits of vertical travel of the mounting shroud. First and second cutter head assemblies (131, 132) are operatively mounted within the mounting shroud adjacent the open bottom for counter-rotation about respective first and second axes. Hydraulic drive motors (141, 142) are operatively connected to the first and second cutter head assemblies for causing the counter-rotation thereof. Biasing springs (190) and hydraulically actuated cylinders (200) act between the mounting shroud and the vehicle for biasing the mounting shroud towards the lower limit of travel and for resiliently urging the first and second cutter head assemblies into cutting engagement with the road surface through the open bottom of the mounting shroud, with a substantially constant cutting force applied by each cutter head assembly to the road surface irrespective of irregularities encountered in the road surface as the vehicle moves therealong.

Un mécanisme de coupe (20) à tête flottante en direction verticale comprend un carénage de montage (100) présentant un fond ouvert (106) et suspendu à un véhicule (22) par une pluralité de dispositifs de guidage verticaux (110) qui peuvent les déplacer selon une direction sensiblement verticale. Les dispositifs de guidage définissent les limites supérieure et inférieure du trajet vertical du carénage. Un premier et un second ensemble têtes de coupe (131, 132) sont fonctionnellement montés à l'intérieur du carénage adjacent au fond ouvert, de façon à tourner en sens inverse autour d'un premier et d'un second axe correspondant. Des moteurs d'entraînement hydrauliques (141, 142), fonctionnellement reliés au premier et au second ensemble têtes de coupe, les font tourner en sens inverse. Des ressorts de sollicitation (190) et des cylindres à entraînement pneumatique (200), disposés entre le carénage et le véhicule, sollicitent ledit carénage vers la limite inférieure du trajet et poussent de manière résiliente le premier et le second ensemble têtes de coupe en contact de coupe avec la surface de la route en leur faisant traverser le fond ouvert du carénage. La force de coupe que chaque ensemble applique sur la surface de la chaussée est sensiblement constante quelles que soient les irrégularités de ladite surface qu'il rencontre tandis que le véhicule avance sur la route.
