Implement tooth assembly with tip and adapter

摘要

A ground engaging tip of a tooth assembly for a base edge of a ground engaging implement, is provided, wherein the tooth assembly includes an adapter configured for attachment to a base edge of the ground engaging implement and having a forwardly extending adapter nose. In various embodiments, the ground engaging tip is configured for digging into work material in diverse earth moving environments.

主权项

1. A ground engaging tip comprising:
a rear edge; a top outer surface; a bottom outer surface, wherein the top outer surface and the bottom outer surface extend forward from the rear edge and converge at a front edge; oppositely disposed lateral outer surfaces extending downwardly from the top outer surface to the bottom outer surface, wherein the lateral outer surfaces are tapered so that a distance between the lateral outer surfaces decreases as the lateral outer surfaces extend downwardly from the top outer surface toward the bottom outer surface, and the distance is greater at an uppermost portion of the lateral outer surfaces than at the lowermost portion of the lateral outer surfaces; and an inner surface extending inwardly into the ground engaging tip from the rear edge and defining a nose cavity within the ground engaging tip having a complementary shape to an adapter nose of an adapter for receiving the adapter nose therein, wherein the top outer surface has a rear portion extending forward from the rear edge to a first transition area, a front portion extending forward from the first transition area to a second transition area, and a tip portion extending forward from the second transition area to the front edge, wherein the distances between the bottom outer surface and the rear portion, the front portion and the tip portion decrease as the rear portion, the front portion and the tip portion extend away from the rear edge, wherein the rear portion and a first line parallel to a longitudinal axis of the ground engaging tip define a first downward angle, the front portion and a second line parallel to the longitudinal axis define a second downward angle, and the tip portion and a third line parallel to the longitudinal axis define a third downward angle, and wherein the second downward angle is less than the first downward angle and the third downward angle.
