Abstract: The invention relates to a change system for wear parts of an excavator bucket of an earthmoving machine, comprising a carrier structure which can be fastened to or is formed on the excavator bucket and which has a projection and also an exchange part with a pocket-like cavity for releasably plugging the exchange part onto the projection of the carrier structure, wherein, to secure the exchange part on the carrier structure, there is provided at least one connection member which is connected to the carrier structure via a first connecting mechanism and to the exchange part via a second connecting mechanism physically separated from the first connecting mechanism, wherein at least one of the two connecting mechanisms is a releasable connection.

Abstract: A system and method for an aircraft refueling receptacle. The aircraft refueling receptacle comprises a pedestal, a flanged structure, a sliding valve, and a bolt. The flanged structure has a first ledge, a second ledge, and a number of flanges extending inwardly. The pedestal contacts the first ledge. The sliding valve has a first face that contacts the second ledge of the flanged structure during refueling. The bolt extends a part of a length of the pedestal and is connected to a receiver within the pedestal.

Abstract: A wing shroud is provided for an earth moving machine bucket adapted to be positioned at least partially on a tooth adapter and/or at least partially on a lateral plate of the bucket for protecting wear sensitive bucket parts. The wing shroud includes at least one self-lock mechanism for a detachable connection to the bucket.

Abstract: An excavator bucket for an earth moving machine includes an interior bucket space formed by a curved rear wall and a pair of opposed sidewalls, with the bucket including a bucket box arranged onto the rear wall, in particular arranged on the outer surface of its top portion, which extends along a lateral axis of the bucket. The angle between at least one of the outer lateral sides of the bucket box and the rear wall of the bucket, in particular its top portion, is less than 90 degrees.

Abstract: A wear assembly for an excavator bucket comprises a cast lip, a lower wing shroud and a retaining member. The cast lip includes two upstanding wing plates. Each wing plate has a wing face on a side of the wing plate and a plate retaining formation formed on the wing face. The plate retaining formation has a plate retaining face. The wing shroud is mounted to the wing plate. The wing shroud includes a shroud retaining formation having a shroud retaining face. The retaining member includes a first bearing formation having a first face opposing and engaging the shroud retaining face, and a second bearing formation having a second face opposing and engaging the plate retaining face. The retaining member has a longitudinal axis extending between the first bearing formation and the second bearing formation. The longitudinal axis is located in a plane substantially parallel to the wing face.

Abstract: A tool is disclosed, for measuring the important thermal characteristics of a unit of electronic equipment, which obtains air flow and temperature readings at both air inlet and air outlet openings of the unit without disturbing cable or wiring connections or otherwise interrupting device operation. The tool pressure sensing element is rotatable between detented positions to permit the tool to be used at both air inlet and air outlet openings. The tool air duct portion may be formed of separate duct portions to enable a single duct portion including the sensing instrumentation to be used with multiple duct portions that conform to electronic device air inlet and outlet openings to impart added flexibility to the tool.
