Bucket lip and bucket for machine having segmented integral beam

A bucket lip comprising:

• an elongate one-piece casting including an upper lip side, a lower lip side, a first lateral edge, a second lateral edge, a forward lip edge, and a back lip edge;
• the lower lip side forming a segmented integral beam between the forward lip edge and the back lip edge;
• the segmented integral beam including a first outboard segment, a second outboard segment, and a plurality of inboard segments together forming a stepped profile relative to the first outboard segment and the second outboard segment;
• and
• a plurality of weight-reduction pockets formed between the segmented integral beam and the back lip edge.

A bucket for a machine comprising:

• a bucket body;
• a bucket lip attached to the bucket body, and including an upper lip side and a lower lip side, a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge, and a segmented integral beam extending upon the lower lip side between the first lateral edge and the second lateral edge;
• and
• the segmented integral beam including a plurality of beam segments each including an exposed lower surface and forming a beam profile that is centrally stepped-up and centrally stepped-forward.
