Patent number: 10829912Abstract: A wear assembly for excavating equipment which includes a wear member and a base each with upper and lower stabilizing surfaces that are offset and at overlapping depths to reduce the overall depth of the assembly while maintaining high strength and a stable coupling. The nose and socket each includes a generally triangular-shaped front stabilizing end to provide a highly stable front connection between the nose and wear member for both vertical and side loading. The lock is movable between hold and release positions to accommodate replacing of the wear member when needed, and secured to the wear member for shipping and storage purposes.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2017Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: ESCO GROUP LLCInventors: Christopher M. Carpenter, Donald M. Conklin, James E. Bearden, Severn D. Durand, Dziugas Radzius, Ray J. Morris

Patent number: 7144183Abstract: A locking assembly has two members which are moveable into coupling engagement with one another. The two members have lock engaging walls, and one of the members has an opening between the lock engaging walls for receiving a lock. The lock comprises a lock body and a retainer. The lock body has a channel for receiving a portion of the retainer. An end of the retainer extends underneath a retainer engaging wall, thus resisting movement of the lock out of the opening.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2003Date of Patent: December 5, 2006Assignee: ESCO CorporationInventors: Aaron B. Lian, Christopher M. Carpenter, Emory D. Hungerford, deceased, Lorraine R. Hungerford, legal representative, Ray J. Morris
