Abstract
An elongate mount couples an insert to a feed roll via a proximal edge thereof. The proximal edge of the elongate mount faces both outwards in part and forwards in part. The elongate mount has a recessed region that is twisted in part. The insert is shaped to be received at least in part within and matingly engage with the elongate mount via the recessed region. The elongate mount is shaped to enclose the proximal edge, spaced-apart ends and backing fact of the insert.
Claims20
In combination, an elongate mount and an insert for a feed roll, the elongate mount coupling to and extending radially outwards from the feed roll, the elongate mount having a recessed region extending from a distal edge towards a proximal edge thereof, the recessed region of the elongate mount extending from a first face towards a second face thereof, the recessed region of the elongate mount extending between a pair of spaced-apart ends thereof, the recessed region of the elongate mount being u-shaped in longitudinal cross-section, the recessed region of the elongate mount being L-shaped in a lateral cross-section, the insert being shaped to matingly engage with the elongate mount via the recessed region of the elongate mount, and the insert having a backing face shaped to at least in part abut and extend along the elongate mount such that the backing face is positioned between the first face and the second face of the elongate mount.
In combination, an elongate mount and an insert for a feed roll, the elongate mount coupling the insert to the feed roll, the elongate mount being shaped to enclose a proximal edge and spaced-apart ends of an inner portion of the insert and the elongate mount being shaped to fully enclose and cover a backing face of the inner portion of the insert via a recessed portion thereof, the recessed portion of the elongate mount being u-shaped in longitudinal cross-section and L-shaped in a lateral cross-section.
