Patent number: 10208460Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2015Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: METALOGENIA, S.A.Inventors: Jose Lopez Almendros, Francesc Perez Lado, Joan Tuto Faja, Ester Alonso Frijola

Publication number: 20140075793Abstract: Detachable fastening system between a male piece (2) and a female piece (1), pin (3) and female piece (1), specifically for use in machines for moving earth and stones. It is formed by a tooth (2) with a transverse aperture, a tooth holder (2) with another transverse aperture, a pin with an intermediate nipple, and an elastic tensor (4) located in a complementary cavity of the tooth holder (2). The penetration and subsequent rotation of the pin (3) immobilizes it axially, as it is held in said angular position by the action of the tensor (4). In addition, the pin (3) has at one end a projection that interacts with a groove ramped helicoidally and fitted in the aperture of the tooth in order to absorb the axial forces, by unloading the tensor (4) thereof, and also in order to limit the angular distance traveled by the pin between the blocking and unblocking positions, and in order to facilitate possible extraction thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2013Publication date: March 20, 2014Applicant: METALOGENIA, S.A.Inventors: Jose LOPEZ ALMENDROS, Francisco PEREZ SORIA, Angel MARTINEZ

Patent number: 7926207Abstract: The present invention relates to a wear assembly, as well as to the different components thereof, which has a wear member or tooth and an adaptor member or tooth bar for wear applications in a machine for moving materials such as earth and stones. The invention contemplates a wear assembly and particularly a coupling system between the different components to one another by a characteristic coupling system and at least one retention system assuring the coupling and anchor between the different components, specifically between the wear member and adaptor, the latter in turn being joined to the blade of a bucket or scoop of a machine for moving materials, such as an excavator or the like.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2003Date of Patent: April 19, 2011Assignee: Metalogenia, S.A.Inventors: José Lopez Almendros, Franceso Perez Lado, Roberto Fernandez Munoz
