Spacer shims for ground engaging tools

摘要

A spacer shim for locating between adjacent ground engaging tools of a work implement for an earth working machine includes a shim body, a shim upper protrusion, and a shim retention surface. The shim body includes a shim first leg and a shim second leg spaced apart to form a shim slot for receiving a lip of the work implement. The shim upper protrusion extends from the shim body and is adjacent to the shim first leg. The shim retention surface extends between the forward end and the shim upper protrusion and is configured to contact a bottom surface of a portion of an adjacent ground engaging tool.

1. A spacer shim for locating between adjacent ground engaging tools of a work implement for an earth working machine, the spacer shim comprising:
a shim body including a shim first leg and a shim second leg both extending in a first direction away from a forward end and to an aft end of the spacer shim, the shim first leg and the shim second leg being spaced apart to form a shim slot for receiving a lip of the work implement there between; a shim upper protrusion adjacent the shim first leg extending from the shim body in a second direction away from the shim first leg and the shim second leg; a first side surface; and a second side surface opposite the first side surface, wherein the first side surface and the second side surface define a thickness of the spacer shim, the thickness defining the minimum dimension of the spacer shim, wherein the first side surface and the second side surface are configured to engage a ground engaging tool on either side of the spacer shim.
