  • Patent number: 7017425
    Abstract: An improved bucket wheel assembly with a center frame, having a plurality of fingers extending therefrom. In each of the fingers a slot is formed. The assembly also includes a plurality of conically shaped hollow cups. The hollow cups each have a wall that forms an apex and a circular opening. The hollow cups may also have a second slot formed by two substantially parallel protuberances on the inner surface of each hollow cup. The hollow cups are attached to the center frame by matching the slots and sliding one into the other, so that a portion of the finger is between the protuberances, from the opening of each hollow cup. The hollow cup is slid into the slot until it reaches the bottom of the slot on the finger.
