n County, reg., alaignor aahingto to Electric Steel Foundry, Portland, 0reg., a corporation of Oregon Application February 11, lald serhl No. 521,927
My invention relates to excavating teeth and is concerned with improvements in the instrumentalities by which such teeth are detachably segligredtcto the lips of buckets,)oucket fronts, shov- I e .P
The salient object of the invention is to provide a novel and advantageous shank-and-socket connection, between a tooth and the lip that carries it, which normally prevents relative movement between the shank and the socket, provides for readily and effectively taking up any play that develops between shank and socket in the course of excavating operations, and facilitates the replacement of the tooth when it has become worn out or broken.
Other objects are to provide such a shank and-socket connection that includes an exceptionally sturdy shank and minimizes the amount of metal required to form the socket.
Rocking movement between a tooth and its base part produces destructive abrading action that is particularly onerous in under water excavating operations, due to sand and other abrasive particles being water-carried between the contiguous surfaces of the rocking parts. Wear due to such causes is controlled and largely prevented by the improved shank-and-socket connection of my present invention.
A novel and meritorius feature of my improved shank-and-socket connection is a resilient wedgeshaped'member that embraces the tooth shank, presents outwardly facing cam surfaces to cooperating surfaces presented by the socket, presents inwardly facing cam surfaces to cooperating surfaces presented by the shank, and is forced and held to its work bythreaded members acting between it and the shank.
These and other objects, features and advantages of my invention will appear from the following detailed description wherein reference is made to the accompanying two sheets of drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the devices of my present invention as they appear upon a fragment of the tooth-carrying lip ofa drag line bucket, bucket front, shovel or the like;
Fig. 2 is a side view wherein the major portion of the tooth is shown in elevation and the tooth shank and its cooperating socket appear in section;
Fig. 3 is a view, partly in top plan and partly in section, that may be regarded as taken in the planes of the line 3-3 of Fig. 2 and looking in the directionindicated by the arrows;
Fig. 4-is a vertical sectional view that may be recorded as taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2 and looking in the direction indicated by the arrows;
Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional view that may be regarded as taken on the line 5-! of Fig. 2 and looking in the direction indicated by the arrows;
Fig. 6 is a perspective view of the tooth and the base part thereof as they appear when detached and slightly separated from each other;
Fig. '7 is an isolated perspective view of the resilient wedge member; and
Fig. 8 is a perspective view of a modified form of the tooth.
Similar characters of reference refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
In the drawings, reference numeral Iii indicates a fragment of the teeth-carrying lip of a drag line bucket, bucket front, power shovel or the like. At II is depicted an excavating tooth and at I! the lip-carried base part whereon and wherein the tooth is mounted. While the base part I 2 may be detachably secured to the lip it as by bolts, it preferably constitutes an integral Part of the lip I0 and is related to the leading edge thereof much as an engine nacelle of a modern airplane is related to the leading edge of an airfoil whereof it forms a streamlined enlargement.
The tooth ii suitably, but not necessarily, is
drop-forged or cast inone piece and comprises Y a body portion having parallel flat sides II, and having a top I i and a bottom it convergingjto its forward or incising extremity n. The tooth also comprises a shank ll having parallel flat sides I! and having its top 20 and bottom 2| converging to its terminal face 22. As illustrated, the top It and bottom it of the tooth body portion II, the top Ill and bottom 2| of the shank l8, and the incising extremity ll of the tooth have transverse inclines attributable to the requisite relief (usually approximately 7") of drop-forge dies.
Formed in the flat sides H of the tooth body portion I! are recesses 23 for the reception of the hereinafter-to-be-mentioned horns of the base part whereon .and wherein the tooth is detachably mounted. The margins of these recesses also are depicted as having transverse inclines attributable to requisite die relief.
The tooth shank it is provided with a laterally opening longitudinally extending slot 24 having its inner end intersecting at right angles a slot 25 greater transverse cross section.
The base part I! presents a pair of horns II for reception by the tooth recesses 23 and a socket il-for reception of the tooth shank llsuch socket being open at both of its ends.
The edges of the horns 2! have transverse inclines complementary to the opposed transverse inclines oi the margins of the tooth recesses 18.
The face angle of each horn 2| is slightly larger (1. e., by a matter of two or three degrees) than the face angle of the recess 20 by which the horn is received. This disparity between face angles assures, initially, (a) that the areas of contact between each horn edge and its opposed tooth recess margin will be located away from the tip of the horn, and (b) that the butt joints between the tooth and its base part. at their upper and lower surfaces, are slightly open (sea Fl .2).
Ihe sidewalls of socket 2! are parallel with each other but its top presents a pair of angularly disposed surfaces 28 and It and its bottom presents angularly disposed surfaces 28a and Ila. In other words, the surfaces 28 and 3! define a socket flare to the front and surfaces 28a and "a similarly define a socket flare to the rear. 1
It will be noted, by reference to Fig. 2, that shank it extends rearwardly between the flaring socket surfaces 28 and 26a, withoutnecessarily contacting either of such surfaces, and that acute angles are defined between the shank l8 and the socket surfaces 29 and 19a.
At 30 is the wedge member that cooperates with the upper and lower surfaces of shank i8 and with the opposed surfaces 29 and 29a of the socket. Such wedge is generally u-shaped and is provided in its .web portion with a bolt hole Ii. The legs of the U-shaped wedge are provided with inner surfaces 32, for engagement with the upper and lower surfaces of shank I8, and with outer curved camming surfaces 88 for co operation with the socket surfaces 29 and 29a.
The wedge is formed of suitable resilient ferrous alloy so that its less when forced toward each other will tend to return to normal.
As a means for forcing and holding the U-- shaped wedge 38 to its work, I prefer to employ the bolt 3i and its nut 38, the bolt head lying in the tooth shank slot 25 and the bolt shank lying in tooth shank slot 2i and projecting rearwardly from the shank, through the bolt hole I! of the wedge for cooperation with the nut.
In Fig. 8 I have illustrated how the bolt 34 may find a substitute in the nature of a threaded stud a that is welded or formed integral with the tooth shank it and projects rearwardly from its terminal face 22.
The U-shaped wedge 39 is so conformed and related to the shank it and the socket surfaces 29 and 28a that, as the wedge is drawn by bolttooth and its base part at their upper and lower margins are completely or substantially closed;
but any resultant playv between the tooth and its base part readily may be entirely eliminated on the job by tightening nut 35.
While I have illustrated and described a preferred tooth II that is formed in one piece, I contemplate that the tooth may a fabrication of two or more pieces of metal. The word "bucket" in the appended claims is used in its broad sense and is generic to buckets, dippers, shovels, etc., usedtin various kinds of power excavating equipmen What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:

,the tooth shank it.
When nut 85 is removed from bolt 36, a tap upon the bolt will release the tooth from the embrace of its base part, but the wedge, by reason of its resilient character, will remain in the rear portion of the base part socket 2'? until and unless it is forcibly ejected therefrom as, for instance, by means of a tool inserted into socket 2'! through the front endthereof.
