Publication number: 20210154753Abstract: An indexable piercing tip mounts to a nose portion of one of the jaws of a heavy-duty demolition shears so as to enclose and protect top, bottom, front, and two opposing side surfaces of the nose portion during use of the shears. The piercing tip has a first operative position in which a first set of piercing and shearing edges of the piercing tip are presented for use. When the first set gets dull or worn, the piercing tip can be rotated/indexed 180° degrees so as to present a second set of piercing and shearing edges of the piercing tip for use.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2019Publication date: May 27, 2021Inventors: Karl JOHNSON, Clayton SEDERBERG, Shane BUBACZ, Matthew George MECKLIN, Robert Laine BLETTNER

Patent number: 10967380Abstract: Heavy-duty material processors (e.g., shears, concrete crushers) include a jaw that pivotally connects to another jaw. A hydraulic cylinder extends between the jaws to open and close the jaws in a shearing motion. Cutting/shearing/crushing blade inserts mount to detachable blade holders, which in turn mount to one of the jaws. Wedge blocks securely and detachably attach the blade inserts to the remainder of their associated jaw, and rely on force-amplifying wedge surfaces to ensure a secure attachment. The detachable blade holders may include lateral flanges that extend across an otherwise exposed face of their respective underlying jaw bodies to protect the jaw bodies during use. A blade on one of the jaws is laterally adjustable, which helps to free a jam if one of the jaws gets jammed into the space between blades in the other jaw.Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2018Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Assignee: STANLEY BLACK & DECKER, INC.Inventors: Karl Johnson, Clayton Sederberg, Shane Bubacz, Matthew George Mecklin

Patent number: 7832130Abstract: A mounting bracket is designed to interchangeably connect a processor attachment to the stick of a larger excavator or the boom of a smaller excavator in place of the stick. The mounting bracket includes mounting assemblies that are designed to operatively attach the bracket to the stick and related bucket cylinder linkage assembly of a larger excavator. The mounting bracket also includes mounting assemblies that are designed to operatively attach the bracket to the boom and related stick cylinder of a smaller excavator. The mounting bracket may avoid the need to obtain and maintain plural mounting brackets for different mounting applications (e.g., stick or boom).Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2006Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: The Stanley WorksInventors: Clayton Sederberg, Matthew G.

Publication number: 20070145171Abstract: A demolition/scrap processing shears assembly includes pivotally connected jaws. The first jaw has first and second laterally-spaced shearing edges. The second jaw has third and fourth laterally-spaced shearing edges. The first and second shearing edges have a plurality of staggered shearing apexes that sequentially shearingly mate with the third and fourth shearing edges, respectively, as the shear assembly closes. As viewed from the side, the third and fourth shearing edges are offset from each other such that the first and third shearing edges shearingly mate with each other asynchronously relative to the second and fourth shearing edges as the jaws close. Staggering the shearing apexes and offsetting the shearing action of the left and right side of the shear assembly reduces the power that an actuator must generate to shear processed material.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2005Publication date: June 28, 2007Applicant: THE STANLEY WORKSInventors: Mark Rafn, Uwe Kausch, Clayton Sederberg

Publication number: 20060006261Abstract: A lubricating system for a heavy-duty metal demolition shears provides lubricant to one of more wear surfaces on one or more wear portions in the shears. The system includes a hydraulic lubricant pump that is actuated by the main hydraulic control system by means of which the jaws of the shears are opened and closed, and may include a sequential valve to distribute lubricant to various wear portions in sequential fashion. The lubricating system may lubricate one or more wear surfaces of the lateral blade stabilizers, primary and secondary blade(s) on the upper and/or lower jaws, pivotal connections between jaws and/or between the upper jaw and the hydraulic cylinder, and a forward wear plate. The lubricating system may be retrofitted onto a conventional non-lubricated shears by replacing a conventional upper jaw with a lubricated upper jaw and lubricating system.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 1, 2005Publication date: January 12, 2006Applicant: The Stanley WorksInventors: Clayton Sederberg, Michael Swanson

Patent number: 5992023Abstract: A demolition shear has a pair of pivotably movable elongated jaws each having a pivot portion and an elongated jaw portion extending therefrom. The lower jaw portion has a cutter side wall, a guide side wall and an outer end wall, and the cutter side wall has an upper working surface with a generally V-shaped configuration, and a recess providing a blade seating shoulder extending parallel to the upper surface. The end shoulder at the proximal end intersects at an obtuse angle with the blade seating shoulder, and defines a reference plane. Seated on the shoulder are abutting; elongated rhimboidal lower cutter blades with end faces extending parallel to the reference plane. The outer end wall has an inner surface portion has a blade seating shoulder on its inner surface on which is seated a cross cutter blade. The guide side wall has a recess adjacent the outer end wall which provides a blade seating shoulder on which is seated a guide blade.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 1998Date of Patent: November 30, 1999Assignee: The Stanley WorksInventors: Clayton Sederberg, Daniel Jacobson
