Wear part for earth working equipment

A wear member for earth working equipment comprising a hole including a retention feature to engage and retain a hinged lock in a release position where the wear member can be installed on the earth working equipment and in a hold position where the wear member can be secured to earth working equipment.

A wear assembly for earth working equipment comprising a wear member with an opening having opposing walls each with a retainer structure, and a lock engaging the opposing walls to retain the lock in the opening in a release position that permits the wear member to be installed on the earth working equipment and in a hold position that can secure the wear member to the earth working equipment, the lock being adjustable between a locked condition where the lock engages the opposing walls and an unlocked condition where the lock disengages the opposing walls for repositioning from the release position to the hold position.

An articulated lock for securing a wear member to earth-working equipment comprising a plurality of bodies interconnected for pivotal movement between an extended orientation with the bodies aligned and a retracted orientation with the bodies folded where the lock in the extended orientation can engage the wear member at a retaining position to secure the wear member to the earth working equipment and in the folded orientation can disengage the wear member, and where each said body has a slot and a tab, and in the extended orientation the tab of each said body is received in the slot of the other body to limit separation of the bodies.

A lock for securing a wear member to earth working equipment comprising hinged members pivotally coupled together for movement between an extended position and a retracted position, and an insert, wherein the hinged members are interlocked by tongue and groove configurations to limit separation of the members along a pivot axis of the hinged members, and pivoting movement of the hinged members is prevented by installation of the insert when in an extended position to secure the wear member to the earth working equipment.

A lock for securing a wear member to earth working equipment comprising hinged members each with an inner face, the hinged members being pivotally coupled together for movement along the inner faces between an extended position and a retracted position, and an insert, wherein a first hinged member includes a recess in the inner face and a first bearing face adjacent the recess, a second hinged member includes a collar with a hole and a second bearing face adjacent the collar, the collar is received in the recess, and the insert is installed in the hole and engages the bearing surfaces to limit pivotal movement of the hinged members and secure the wear member to the earth working equipment.

A lock for securing a wear member to earth working equipment comprising (i) hinged members each with an inner face, a recess in the inner face and a bearing surface adjacent the recess, the hinged members being pivotally coupled together for movement along the inner faces between an extended position and a retracted position, (ii) a collar received in the recesses and including a hole, and (iii) an insert, wherein the insert is installed in the hole and engages the bearing surfaces to limit pivotal movement of the hinged members and secure the wear member to the earth working equipment.

A method of securing a wear member to earth working equipment comprising installing the wear member on the earthmoving equipment with a lock in a locked orientation secured in a release position in an opening of the wear member, disengaging the lock from walls defining the opening to remove the lock from the release position, and thereafter engaging the lock with the walls defining the opening in a hold position different than the release position to hold the wear member on the earth working equipment.
