Patent number: 11649614Abstract: A retainer sleeve configured for use in a retainer system for a ground engaging tool includes a plurality of plate-like sections, each section being flexibly joined with an adjacent section along either a radially inner edge or a portion of a radially outer edge. The radially inner edges of the plurality of sections form part of a segmented inner surface configured for engagement with an outer surface of a locking member of the retainer system. The inner surface extends partially around a central axis of the retainer sleeve to form a substantially C-shaped retainer sleeve having opposite circumferential ends that are spaced from each other. The radially outer edges of the plurality of sections form part of a segmented, frustoconical outer surface configured for engagement in an internal lock cavity of a ground engaging tool tip.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2019Date of Patent: May 16, 2023Assignee: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Doug Serrurier, Mihai Mircea Balan, Scott Anthony Schick, Eric Thomas Sinn, Jason Grant Jura, Arun Venugopal, Kadirvel Muthusamy
