  • Patent number: 9447561
    Abstract: A machine bucket may include a torque tube having an outer surface. The machine bucket may also include a support plate coupled to the torque tube. The support plate may include a bottom surface. The machine bucket may further include a base edge including a cutting edge. The machine bucket may also include a curved wrapper located between the support plate and the base edge. A ratio of a maximum distance between the curved wrapper and a first line extending from the base edge to the outer surface of the torque tube where the bottom surface of the support plate intersects the outer surface of the torque tube, taken substantially perpendicularly from the first line, relative to a length of the first line, may be about 0.61 to 0.63.
