Abstract
A high performance, riding trowel for finishing concrete comprises damage-preventing edge guard systems that accommodate destructive forces occasioned by collisions or impacts. Downwardly projecting, motor-driven rotor assemblies gimbaled to the frame contact the concrete with multiple blades for finishing. The rotors are tilted with linkages ideally controlled by a powered system that enhances operator control. A two-piece guard system is concentrically disposed over and rotatably associated with each rotor. The guard system comprises a captivating guard frame borne by the rotor and tilted during steering, which captivates and supports a rotatable ring guard portion that may non-destructively impact obstacles. The guard system frame suspends a plurality of rollers comprising upper and lower flanges. The rotatable guard ring is captivated upon the rollers, being vertically constrained between the flanges. When the guard ring impacts an obstruction it may freely rotate, minimizing structural damage and surface marring or disfigurement.
