Patent number: 11479947Abstract: A fastening device for wear elements in earth-moving machines, related to a fastening device of the type that is arranged between two parts, components or elements of an earth-moving machine for the fastening or coupling between both parts or elements. The device has at least one mobile blocking element and autonomous activation mechanism of the mobile blocking element, which enables the mobile blocking element to be activated such that, once the fastening device is inserted in a housing for this purpose in any of the parts to be coupled, the effective coupling is achieved at a certain distance from the fastening device, and even from the machine.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2019Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: METALOGENIA RESEARCH & TECHNOLOGIES S.L.Inventors: Javier Triginer, Nil Vallvé, Justo Jesús Ortiz García, Jordi Marquez Llinas, Albert Gimeno Tordera, Jorge Triginer Boixeda, Ester Alonso Frigola

Patent number: 10677699Abstract: Wear sensor and the corresponding wear element, assembly and use. The sensor is intended for a wear element in a bucket of an earth moving machine. The sensor includes a sensing electric circuit and at least one elongated arm (23) extending in a direction of detection defining a longitudinal axis. The arm (23) has a base (25) and an end. The end wears away together with the wear material of the wear element. The arm (23) includes a plurality of electrical connections (27) forming part of the sensing electric circuit and extending different lengths with respect to one another, measured according to the longitudinal axis along the arm (23).Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2015Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: METALOGENIA RESEARCH & TECHNOLOGIES S.L.Inventors: Jordi Marquez Llinas, Joan Cesar Galobardes, Nil Vallve, Jorge Triginer Boixeda, Cristian Toral Martin, Albert Puig Castello, Enric Camprubi Torras
