A concrete breaking apparatus includes a wheeled support assembly having an open end to accommodate the variable positioning of an impact roller therebetween and a closed end opposite the open end. A frame having opposing longitudinal arms connected near one end so as to define open and closed end portions is pivotably supported by the wheeled support assembly on pivot arms which connect the frame to the wheeled support assembly. An impact roller is fixedly interposed for rotation between the opposing longitudinal arms of the frame near the open end portion thereof. The impact roller has opposing ends, an axis of rotation through the opposing ends, and a surface equipped with spaced apart primary and secondary impact members traversing the opposing ends of the roller. An energy transfer assembly joins the closed end portion of the frame to the wheeled support assembly so as to resiliently link the two structures and transfer energy to and from the impact roller during propulsion of the apparatus in a manner to thereby boost the breaking capabilities thereof and mitigate the transfer of shock and vibration to the wheeled support assembly.

1. A concrete breaking apparatus comprising:(a) a wheeled support assembly having an open end, a closed end opposite said open end, and opposite sides; (b) a frame having opposing longitudinal arms connected near one end so as to define open and closed end portions for said frame, said frame being pivotably supported relative to said support assembly on pivot arms connecting said frame to said support assembly at said closed end portion of said frame, said pivot arms capable of forming variable angles relative to said open end of said frame to thereby variably position said frame above said support assembly; (c) an impact roller fixedly interposed for rotation between said opposing longitudinal arms of said frame near said open end portion of said frame, said impact roller having opposite angular axial faces, an axis of rotation through said opposite axial faces, a multi-faceted roller surface, each facet thereof being spaced apart from said axis of rotation and supported by each of said opposite angular axial faces, each facet being flat and including a replaceable concrete chopping element substantially extending therefrom so as to exclusively engage a flat concrete ground surface; and (d) an energy accumulator interposed between said closed end portion of said frame and said wheeled support assembly so as to resiliently respond to changes in the position of said frame above said support assembly, said energy accumulator capable of compression when the pivot arm angle is at a minimum and capable of elongation when said pivot arm angle is at a maximum so to transfer energy to and from said impact roller during propulsion of said concrete breaking apparatus in a manner to boost the breaking capabilities thereof and mitigate the transfer of shock and vibration to said wheeled support assembly.
