Abstract
Implements for moving a first body from atop a surface includes a body configured to be removably secured to a host machine, a leading edge of the body configured to be located within a gap between the first body and the surface, and a concave curved profile above the leading edge and having a shape such that as the leading edge is forced into the gap, the curved profile contacts the first body causing the first body to roll in a direction away from the implement.
Claims20
An implement for moving a first body from atop a surface, the implement comprising:
- a body configured to be removably secured to a host machine;
- a horizontal leading edge of the body configured to be located below the first body or within a gap between the first body and the surface;
- and
- a concave curved profile above the leading edge and having a shape such that as the leading edge is forced below the first body or into the gap, the curved profile contacts the first body causing the first body to roll in a direction away from the implement.
1 more element
An implement comprising:
- a body having first and second ends oppositely disposed along a longitudinal axis of the body, the body comprising an upper flange, a lower flange, and a web therebetween that is transverse to and interconnects the upper and lower flanges, the lower flange extending farther in a lengthwise direction of the body at the second end thereof than the upper flange so as to define a leading edge of the body at the second end thereof, the lower flange having a surface that is perpendicular to the web and defines a lowermost extent of the leading edge;
- means at the first end of the body for removably coupling the body to a host machine;
- and
- a concave curved profile defined by the web at the second end of the body between the upper and lower flanges, the concave curved profile extending farther in the lengthwise direction of the body at the lower flange than at the upper flange.
1 more element
An implement comprising:
- a body having first and second ends oppositely disposed along a longitudinal axis of the body, the body comprising an upper flange, at least one lower flange, and a plate therebetween that is transverse to and interconnects the upper and lower flanges;
- a concave curved profile defined by the plate at the second end of the body between the upper and lower flanges, the concave curved profile extending farther in the lengthwise direction of the body at the at least one lower flange than at the upper flange;
- an elongated sleeve secured to the body and having a tip that extends away from the second end of the body;
- and
- means at the first end of the body for removably coupling the body to a host machine.
