  • Publication number: 20230332380
    Abstract: A ripper point attachment structure in a ripper device includes a ripper shank including a main body portion and a nose portion, and a ripper point including an internal space. The nose portion includes a distal end portion, a proximal end portion contiguous with the main body portion, and a linking portion. An outer periphery of a cross section cutting the linking portion along a plane perpendicular to an axis extending in a lengthwise direction of the nose portion is formed in an octagonal shape. An outer periphery of a cross section cutting the proximal end portion along the plane is formed in a rectangular shape. An outer periphery of a cross section cutting the distal end portion along the plane is formed in a rectangular shape. An inner periphery forming the internal space is formed along an outer periphery forming the distal end, linking and proximal end portions.

  • Publication number: 20230332381
    Abstract: With a ripper point attachment structure, a pin member is inserted into a first pin hole formed in a ripper shank and a second pin hole formed in a ripper point. A locking member is engaged with the pin member to prevent the pin member from coming loose. The ripper point includes an opening, an internal space and a guide groove. The opening is formed at a rear end. The internal space is formed from the opening toward a distal end surface. The guide groove is formed in a predetermined range from the rear end toward the distal end surface in a portion of an inner surface forming the internal space. A second pin hole of the ripper point is disposed on a bottom surface of the guide groove. The locking member is disposed in a space forming the guide groove.

  • Patent number: 8851826
    Abstract: A bottom surface part of a bucket includes first and second curved surface parts. The second curved surface part is positioned closer to a back surface part than the first curved surface part. A second curvature radius of the second curved surface part is shorter than a first curvature radius of the first curved surface part. The center of the first curvature radius is positioned to the outside of a main bucket body when viewed from the side. In a horizontal state, the first curved surface part is arranged along or above a reference curved surface when viewed from the side. A connecting part between the first curved surface part and the second curved surface part is positioned more towards a lip part than the portion of the bottom surface part that is positioned lowest in the bottom surface part in the horizontal state when viewed from the side.
