  • Patent number: 11873616
    Abstract: Described is a bucket for an earth-working or materials-handling machine, having a top portion comprising a web section, a first and a second bucket side wall and a bucket floor extending from a front cutting edge of the bucket up to the top portion. The front cutting edge, the first and second side walls and the top portion form an opening of the bucket, seen from a front view of the bucket. The bucket has a first inner reinforcement beam element provided on an inside of the bucket adjacent the opening, connecting the first side wall to the web section and extending in a width direction (w) of the bucket from the first side wall towards the second side wall, wherein the first inner reinforcement beam element and the web section, as seen in a sectional plane taken perpendicularly to the width direction (w), form a first perimeter profile enclosing an area.
