by the hydraulic means 13 to forcibly press the cover reel 21 onto the road surface 14 simultaneously cables 32 are freely unwinding from cable reels 30 see fig3 from behind first frame 11 see fig3 as the cables 32 unwind they lay on the surface of cover 42 and serve to hold cover 42 in a secured fixed retained position on road surface 14 fig6 b shows how cover 42 is taken up and rewound on cover reel 21 a free end of cover 42 is inserted through brush guide mechanism 41 and then attached to cover reel 21 cables 32 are threaded through guide spools 31 on second frame 20 and cables 32 are attached to cable reels 30 the prime mover 10 pushes cover reel 21 forward shown by the dashed arrow thereby winding cover 42 onto cover reel 21 shown by the solid arrow additional downward pressing force can be applied by the hydraulic means 13 to forcibly press the cover reel 21 onto the road surface 14 simultaneously cable reel motor and transmission 33 are activated to turn shaft 28 and cable reels 30 thereby winding cables 32 onto cable reels 30 see fig3 fig7 shows yet another embodiment of the present invention whereby the cover reel assembly 1 is pulled by the prime mover 10 to lay down the ground cover 42 facilitated.
