Abstract: A retainer sleeve includes an at least partially annular body defining an axis of rotation, a radial direction, and a circumferential direction. The body may also have a radially inner annular surface defining a radially inner aperture, and a first anti-rotation feature extending radially inwardly from the radially inner annular surface including a sloping ledge having a locking surface, and an outer peripheral surface defining a notch that is at least partially aligned with the first anti-rotation feature or an array of a plurality of external ribs extending outwardly radially from the outer peripheral surface.

Abstract: An anti-tipping retainer has a lug receiving portion defining a lug receiving slot that extends partially through the lug receiving portion, forming a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a catch surface connecting the first sidewall to the second sidewall. A drive portion has recess for turning the retainer. At least a first detent receiving surface is disposed on the outside of the lug receiving portion proximate to the first sidewall or the second sidewall. The drive portion further includes a tab that has a bearing surface extending between a first stop surface and a second stop surface.

Abstract: A retainer sleeve includes an at least partially annular body defining an axis of rotation, a radial direction, and a circumferential direction. The body may also have a radially inner annular surface defining a radially inner aperture, and a first anti-rotation feature extending radially inwardly from the radially inner annular surface including a sloping ledge having a locking surface that faces at least partially in the circumferential direction and along a direction that is parallel to the axis of rotation, forming an oblique angle with the direction that is parallel to the axis of rotation.

Abstract: A tip and adapter assembly includes a spring loaded retainer that includes a lug receiving portion defining a first maximum outside dimension, the lug receiving portion also defining a lug receiving slot that extends partially through the lug receiving portion, forming a first sidewall, a second sidewall, and a catch surface connecting the first sidewall to the second sidewall. A drive portion defines a second maximum outside dimension, and a first flat is disposed on the outside of the lug receiving portion proximate to the first sidewall or the second sidewall.

Abstract: A spring includes a first spring arm extending from the first side edge of the flat base, the first spring arm including a first arcuate portion extending from the flat base, a first straight portion extending from the first arcuate portion and disposed proximate to the rear face, the first straight portion defining a first obtuse angle with the rear face, and a first straight portion length.

Abstract: An adapter cover includes a shell body including an exterior surface and an interior surface. A front face portion defines a thru-hole, a top leg extending horizontally from the front face portion and defining an adapter cover key on the interior surface. A top leg side portion defining a concave arcuate portion extending rearward from the front face portion, a convex arcuate portion extending horizontally from the concave arcuate portion, and terminating in a vertical rear surface. A bottom leg extending horizontally from the front face portion.

Abstract: The first and the second legs and the throat portion of an adapter include an upper surface and a lower surface that at least partially define a slot, and a clearance void disposed at the closed end of the slot. A ratio of the clearance void width to the clearance void height ranges from 2.0 to 3.0.

Abstract: An adapter includes a first leg, a second leg, and a throat portion that define a slot defining a direction of assembly onto a work implement assembly, a lateral direction that is perpendicular to the direction of assembly, and a vertical direction that is perpendicular to the direction of assembly and the lateral direction. The throat portion further includes a first throat side surface disposed along the lateral direction and a second throat side surface disposed on the opposite side of the throat portion along the lateral direction. The first throat side surface defines a first adapter cover receiving recess.

Abstract: An adapter cover includes a shell body including an exterior surface, an interior surface, and defining a vertical direction, a horizontal direction, and a vertical plane, a front face portion defining a thru-hole, a top leg extending horizontally from the front face portion and defining an adapter key receiving recess on the interior surface and a top leg side portion defining a concave arcuate portion extending rearward from the front face portion, a convex arcuate portion extending horizontally from the concave arcuate portion, terminating in a vertical rear surface, and a bottom leg extending horizontally from the front face portion.

Abstract: A load sharing block includes a body including a flat outer surface defining a first end and a second end, a first arcuate outer portion extending from the first end of the flat outer surface, and a second arcuate outer portion extending from the second end of the flat outer surface. The first arcuate outer portion terminates at a first free end and includes a first elliptical outer surface extending from the first free end.

Abstract: A base edge includes a plurality of center notches and a first and a second end notches that all include the same configuration, defining a notch depth along direction of assembly, a straight middle portion straddled laterally by a first arcuate corner portion and a second arcuate corner portion, the straight middle portion defining a lateral straight middle portion width, and the notch depth ranges from 0.1 multiplied by the lateral straight middle portion width to 0.5 multiplied by the lateral straight middle portion width.
