A liner assembly comprising:
- a wedge including a slot and a receiving channel, the wedge configured to be mounted to a wall of a work implement by filling the slot of the wedge with a weld;
- and
- a liner plate including an engaging channel complementary to the receiving channel of the wedge and configured to form a wedge-plate interface connecting the liner plate to the wedge,
- wherein a length of the liner plate is less than a length of the wedge, and
- wherein a width of the liner plate perpendicular to the length of the liner plate is greater than a width of the wedge perpendicular to the length of the wedge.
A liner assembly comprising:
- a wedge including a slot and a receiving channel, the wedge configured to be mounted to a wall of a work implement by filling the slot of the wedge with a weld;
- and
- a plurality of liner plates per wedge, each liner plate including an engaging channel complementary to the receiving channel of the wedge and configured to form a wedge-plate interface connecting the liner plate to the wedge.
A liner plate comprising:
- a back side configured to face a wall of an implement;
- a front side opposite the back side and configured to face away from the wall of the implement;
- and
- an engaging channel that includes an opening on the back side of the liner plate, the engaging channel configured to be complementary to a receiving channel of a wedge and configured to form a wedge-plate interface to connect the liner plate to the wedge,
- wherein, to form the wedge-plate interface, the engaging channel is configured to wrap around an entire width and thickness of the wedge along three adjacent sides of the engaging channel.
