Abstract
A characteristic feature of the invention lies in that the striking and sic teeth are so arranged on the working edge of the bucket that the distance between the axes of the striking teeth is (3.5-4.5)b while the distance from the working edge to the blade of the striking tooth exceeds the distance from said edge to the blade of the static tooth by (1-3) b where b=width of blade of the striking tooth.
Claims3
An excavator bucket comprising:
- a body with a working edge;
- at least two striking teeth for breaking up rock, each of said at least two striking teeth having a cutting edge and being mounted on said body for reciprocal movement along the longitudinal axis of each striking teeth, adjacent striking teeth being spaced from each other along said working edge at a distance sufficient to form a ridge of rock in which there are cracks weakening it, the distance between the longitudinal axes of at least two adjacent striking teeth being determined by the relationship (3.5 . . . 4.5)b, where b is the width of said cutting edge of a striking tooth;
- static teeth having the purpose of breaking up the upper part of the rock ridge formed by adjacent striking teeth, said static teeth being rigidly mounted with respect to said body and the number of which is one less than the number of said at least two striking teeth, each of said static teeth having a cutting edge and being positioned between said at least two adjacent striking teeth so that the cutting edges of the static and striking teeth lie in substantially the same plane passing through the longitudinal axes of the adjacent striking teeth, wherein the cutting edge of a static tooth is spaced rearwardly from the cutting edge of the striking tooth a distance determined by the relationship (1 . . . 3)b.
