Abstract: A retention system for retaining a wing shroud on a side plate of a bucket is provided. The retention system includes a tube member, a number of washers, and a fastener member. The tube member is positioned within a plurality of openings defined in the wing shroud and the side plate, such that the side plate is arranged within a slot in the wing shroud. The washers coaxially disposes at opposing ends of the tube member and are in abutment with the wing shroud. Inner diameter of the washers is smaller than outer diameter of the tube member. Outer diameter of the washers is greater than inner diameter of the openings in the wing shroud. The fastener member extends through the washers and the tube member, to engage with a nut. Thereby, the washers, the nut, and the fastener member restricts a linear motion of the tube member.

Abstract: A wear member including a body including a leg having an inner face and a first pocket formed in the inner face of the leg. A second pocket may be formed in the inner face of the leg and spaced apart from the first pocket by a passage extending between the first pocket and the second pocket in a direction parallel to a main axis of the body. The second pocket may include a curved abutment surface generally facing away from the first pocket.

Abstract: A ground engaging tip having a ground engaging portion and a coupling portion in opposing relationship to the ground engaging portion. The coupling portion includes a side wall and an interlock tab. The side wall at least partially defines a coupler pocket. The interlock tab has a base end and a proximal end. The base end of is contiguous with the side wall, and the interlock tab extends from the base end to the proximal end in a direction substantially away from the ground engaging portion. The proximal end includes a perimeter with a curved terminal edge.

Abstract: A ground engaging tip comprising a ground engaging portion and a coupling portion. The coupling portion includes an interior surface, a side wall, and an interlock tab. The interior surface defines a coupler pocket and has a base wall. The side wall and the base wall define the coupler pocket. The interlock tab has a base end and a proximal end. The base end of the interlock tab is contiguous with the side wall, and the interlock tab extends from the base end to the proximal end. The sidewall defines a retention orifice. A ratio of a first distance, measured from the center of the retention orifice to the base wall and a second longitudinal distance, measured from the center of the retention orifice to the proximal end is about 3:2 or less.

Abstract: A ground engaging tip comprising a ground engaging portion and a coupling portion. The coupling portion includes an interior surface that includes a coupler pocket. The interior surface has a base wall, a first coupler face wall, and a second coupler face wall. The first and second coupler face wall extend from the base wall to an opening of the coupler pocket. The first and second coupler face wall include a distal planar portion adjacent the base wall. The first and second coupler face include a first convex portion adjacent the distal planar portion, a concave portion adjacent the first convex portion, and a second convex portion adjacent the first concave portion such that the concave portion is disposed between the first convex portion and the second convex portion.

Abstract: A coupler comprising a tip mounting portion and an implement mounting portion. The implement mounting portion defines an implement pocket with a central wall having an abutment surface and a coupler side wall having a distal end adjacent the central wall and a proximal end. The side wall has a side interior surface facing the implement pocket and adjacent the abutment surface. The side interior surface defines a recessed portion adjacent the abutment surface. The recessed portion is offset laterally outward of the side interior surface. The side wall has a base portion at the proximal end with a base exterior surface and an interlock portion at a distal end of the coupler side wall that has an interlock exterior recess surface, the base portion width greater than the interlock portion width. The recessed portion extends between the abutment surface and a transition surface, spanning the interlock portion.

Abstract: A ground engaging tool system comprising a ground engaging tip. The ground engaging tip includes an interior surface with a coupler pocket having an opening. The interior surface has a base wall and a first and second side wall. The tip defines a first and second coupler face walls having a planar portion and a curved portion. The planar portion is adjacent the base wall, and the curved portion adjacent the opening. The ground engaging tool system includes a coupler movably connected to the ground engaging tip between a nominal position and a maximum rotated pitch position. The coupler includes a mounting nose with a first and second exterior face surface and is within the coupler pocket. Between the nominal position and the maximum rotated pitch position, the curved portion coupler face walls are in non-contacting, spaced relationship with the coupler.

Abstract: A ground engaging tip comprising a ground engaging portion and a coupling portion. The coupling portion in opposing relationship to the ground engaging portion along a longitudinal axis. The coupling portion includes an interior surface defining a coupler pocket, and an interlock tab extending along the longitudinal axis in a direction away from the ground engaging portion. The interlock tab terminates at a proximal end and has an inner and outer lateral surface. The inner lateral surface has a proximal planar portion and a concave portion. The proximal end of the interlock tab has a proximal end width measured along a lateral axis measured between the outer lateral surface and the proximal planar portion. The concave portion has a radius of curvature greater than the proximal end width.

Abstract: A coupler comprising a tip mounting portion and an implement mounting portion. The implement mounting portion defines an implement pocket with a central wall having an abutment surface and a coupler side wall having a distal end adjacent the central wall and a proximal end. The side wall has a side interior surface facing the implement pocket and adjacent the abutment surface. The side interior surface defines a recessed portion adjacent the abutment surface.
