Debarker toe assembly

A debarker toe assembly comprising:

• a debarker toe holder to be mounted to a debarker arm including a base and a slanted upstanding wall portion connected thereto facilitating mounting of said toe holder to said debarker arm, said holder further having a recess therein defined by a generally vertical wall and a generally horizontal toe receiving surface, said surface intersecting said vertical wall at a junction extending across the width of said holder base;
• a toe including a debarking edge and a pair of adjacent intersecting mounting surfaces for engaging said vertical wall and said surface of said holder, wherein one surface of said toe or holder includes at least two V-shaped recesses, and one surface of the other of said toe or holder includes a pair of V-shaped projections converging to an edge for alignment and interengagement with said recesses to prevent slippage of said toe with respect to said holder during debarking and wherein one of said V-shaped recesses extends across the width of said toe or holder surface in which it is formed in spaced relationship to the remaining surface or vertical wall of said toe or holder respectively and the other of said V-shaped recess extends from an edge of said toe or holder and orthogonally intersects the first named recess, and wherein one of said pair of V-shaped projections extends across the width of said toe or holder surface on which it is formed in spaced relationship to the remaining surface or vertical wall of said toe or holder respectively and the other of said pair of V-shaped projections extends from an edge of said toe or holder and orthogonally intersects the first named projection;
• and
• aperture means formed through said toe and said holder base at the intersection of said V-shaped projections and at the intersection of said V-shaped recesses for receiving bolt means for demountably securing said toe to said holder.
