Abstract
Abstract Roller means removably attachable to the back side of the digging bucket of hydraulic backhoes operable, when the open face of the bucket is facing at least to some degree upwardly, to roll and compact earth; the effective rolling width of the roller means being substantially equal to the width of the digging bucket; a sheep''s foot roller useable as such roller means with cleaning plates provided in association therewith; alternate roller means provided of substantially continuous available rolling surface to handle silt-rolling operations.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
194 words
In a backhoe construction in which a digging bucket is supported from a vehicle by at least a pair of linked arm members, with at least a pair of power pistons associated with said vehicle and arms whereby to manipulate the latter and the bucket for digging and filling purposes, the improvements which comprise: mounting means positioned on the back side of the digging bucket to removably receive and removably attach roller means, said mounting means positioned within the lateral extension of said digging bucket so as to not extend outwardly laterally thereof, roller means removably attached to said mounting means on the back side of said digging bucket so that, when the open face of the bucket is facing to some degree upwardly, the roller means may be employed to roll and compact earth, the effective rolling width of the roller means no greater than the digging bucket width, whereby the roller and the means for mountIng and attaching same to the back side of the digging bucket are positioned inside of the lateral extension of the digging bucket, thereby to be usable in rolling dirt within a trench dug by said bucket.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

In a backhoe construction in which a digging bucket is supported from a vehicle by at least a pair of linked arm members, with at least a pair of power pistons associated with said vehicle and arms whereby to manipulate the latter and the bucket for digging and filling purposes, the improvements which comprise: mounting means positioned on the back side of the digging bucket to removably receive and removably attach roller means, said mounting means positioned within the lateral extension of said digging bucket so as to not extend outwardly laterally thereof, roller means removably attached to said mounting means on the back side of said digging bucket so that, when the open face of the bucket is facing to some degree upwardly, the roller means may be employed to roll and compact earth, the effective rolling width of the roller means no greater than the digging bucket width, whereby the roller and the means for mountIng and attaching same to the back side of the digging bucket are positioned inside of the lateral extension of the digging bucket, thereby to be usable in rolling dirt within a trench dug by said bucket.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
48 words
A device as in claim 1 wherein the roller is of the sheep''s foot type and sheep''s foot-roller-cleaning means, comprising a plurality of plates fixed to the back side of said digging bucket, extend between the rows of sheep''s foot members on rotation of said sheep''s foot roller.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
A device as in claim 1 wherein the roller means is of the silt-rolling type with substantially continuous rolling surfaces across the width of the rolling means.
