  • Patent number: 11427991
    Abstract: A female part, a retaining device and a pin system have the device, the female part and a male part, to assure the retention between the female part and a male part used in excavators and the like. The female part has a cavity and can be a wearing element, a tooth or an intermediate part (part between a point and a weld on or cast nose in a three part system) and the male part has a nose to be introduced into the cavity of the female part and this will usually be a tooth-holder, intermediate, cast nose, weld-on nose or an adapter.

  • Publication number: 20210277631
    Abstract: The invention relates to a wear or protection system for a tool of an earth moving machine, comprising a wear element (1), a support (3) and a pin (7) with elastic means (13) housed in a housing (5) having a base surface (27) and a compression surface (29). The base surface (27) and a first portion (31) of the compression surface (29) belong to the wear element (1), and the distance between both has a fixed value Df. A second portion (33) of the compression surface (29) belongs to the support (3), and the distance between the base surface (27) and the second portion (33) is variable depending on the wear of the system, having a minimum value Dmin when the system is new and increasing as wear increases. Dmin is less than Df. The pin (7), in the compressed state, has a height H equal to Dmin, and as the system becomes worn, H increases until reaching the value Df.

  • Patent number: 10208460
    Abstract: A removable device for attaching two mechanical parts includes a pin removably locking a first part with respect to a second part, a retainer member on the pin and a resiliently loaded tension member which collaborate to prevent the pin from coming out of its locked position; the removable device further includes at least two inclined surfaces, the general shape of which is that of a projection oriented in the axial direction of the pin, such that when the pin rotates, the retainer member runs along the inclined surfaces and the pin moves between the locked position and unlocked position against a force exerted on the pin along a longitudinal axial direction of the pin exerted by the tension member.

    Abstract: An adaptor for attaching a tooth to the arm of a cutter head. The adaptor having a rear coupling end and a front coupling end with a main cavity. The main cavity has a first upper surface, a first lower surface and two joining side surfaces. Each side surface has a side groove with a second upper surface parallel to a second lower surface. The second upper surface is approximately parallel to a lower segment adjacent to the bottom end on the first lower surface and the second lower surface of the side grooves is approximately parallel to an upper segment adjacent to the bottom end on the first upper surface. A distance between the second upper surface and the second lower surface of each groove is smaller than a distance between the upper segment and the lower segment of the main cavity.

  • Publication number: 20180245318
    Abstract: The tooth and adaptor for dredging machines. The tooth, attached to an adaptor, creates an assembly to deepen and clean the beds of ports, rivers, channels, etc., removing therefrom sludge, stones, sand, etc. The adaptor when attached to the blades forms the cutter head of the dredging machine. The constructive features of the coupling between the tooth and the adaptor allow improved stability between both elements, among other advantages.
