Abstract
An attachment system for connecting a first member such as a lip plate (12) of a mechanical digging device to a second member such as a ground engaging tool (10). The first member has a lug (22) attached thereto, and the second member has a recess (50) which is located about the lug (22). A stabilizing member (98) is located within a slot (57) in the recess. A clamping member (60) is between the lug and the stabilizing member, and includes a resilient portion (90) such as a compression spring. A compressive force supplied to the resilient portion restricts the movement of the second member relative to the lug.
Claims11
An attachment system for connecting a first member to a second member, characterised in that the first member has a lug connected thereto, the second member has an recess which receives the lug in use, and wherein a clamping member is disposed between the lug and the second member, the clamping member including a resilient portion such that the supply of a compressive force to the resilient portion acts to restrain movement of the second member relative to the lug.
An attachment system for connecting a first member to a second member, characterised in that the first member has a lug connected thereto and the second member has a recess which receives the lug, the recess extending inwardly from a rear surface of the second member, wherein a clamping member is receivable within the recess from the rear surface, the clamping member being arranged to locate adjacent the lug, and wherein the recess includes a slot in which a stabilizing member is received, the stabilizing member locating, in use, between the clamping member and the rear surface, such that the supply of pressure to the clamping member acts to restrain movement of the second member relative to the lug.
