Abstract: Earth movement machine components including a pivot system with adjustable height to actuate a door latch for an excavator bucket.

Abstract: A brake system for the doors of excavator buckets which increases the braking force of the doors, allowing the use of heavier caps with more shield, increasing the durability and reliability, cushioning the blows of the door against the frame of the bucket and decreasing the likelihood that the whole system is deregulated at the same time.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate generally to earth movement machine components and, more particularly, to a pivot system with adjustable height to actuate a door latch for an excavator bucket.

Abstract: A brake system for the doors of excavator buckets which increases the braking force of said doors, allowing the use of heavier caps with more shield, increasing the durability and reliability, cushioning the blows of the door against the frame of the bucket and decreasing the likelihood that the whole system is deregulated at the same time, since they suffer an outdated deregulation in time; where the brake system is comprised of a first and a second pair of brakes, being each pair conformed by two identical brakes either hydraulic or mechanical, aligned with each other and forming either a) a first arrangement in which the first and second pairs of brakes have the same range, or exclusionary the first and second pairs of brakes have different range, where the first pair of brakes is misaligned with respect to the second pair of brakes; or b) a second arrangement in which the first and second pairs of brakes have the same range, or exclusionary the first and second pairs of brakes have different range, where

Abstract: A pyramid-shaped tower apparatus is described that will raise and turn mining hoppers for easy access to the areas or elements that need to be maintained or repaired.

Abstract: A rolled lip for rope shovel machine buckets and for excavator buckets of high hardness and improved weldability is provided. The rolled lip is folded and used in buckets with capacities above 25 m3. The lip is made of rolled steel plates of up to 3,000 mm wide and 12,000 mm long and up to 250 mm thick, wherein the steel has flow characteristics between 600 and 900 MPa. The noses and holes used to build the lip are drilled and the shape of the noses is provided by templates or gauges. A method for manufacturing such a rolled lip is also provided.

Abstract: The invention consists in a welding method for hardened wearing elements such as straps, retaining walls, blocks and various forms of shielding plates used in hoppers, ladles and any component that needs to be protected with hardened wearing elements, which prevents stress in the binding welded between the straps and allows joining straps with very little spacing between them so that no wearing grooves are formed. The method comprises placing two straps separated by a minimum space on the base plate to be welded; separating the straps to be welded allowing a minimum of 0.5 to 5 mm; welding with a welding bead; using discontinuous welding beads; applying the welding bead on the side edges of the straps and discontinuing the welding bead in areas close to the space between two straps.

Abstract: A lip for excavator buckets that is manufactured of rolled steel which gives it better mechanical properties than cast lips, achieving a better weight and decreasing manufacturing times. The lip has a machined slot formed in each nose. The slots allow the deformity and wear of the noses to be verified, facilitating repair operations.

Abstract: A latch eye for an excavators shovel is described that has decreased weight and longer durability. The latch eye includes a core and a shield coat formed of a replacement kit made up of several parts. The parts of the replacement kit are fixed to the core.
