IMPROVED WEAR LINER

摘要

The present invention provides a backing plate (7) for a liner (10), and a liner (10) for lining a surface (4.1,4.2) of a materials handling or transporting equipment, the backing plate (7) comprising a first side and a second side; the first side being adapted to have attached to it a layer of hardwearing material (15), the backing plate (7) having one or more attachment means (3) on its second side adapted to enable attachment of the backing plate (7) to the surface (4.1,4.2); the backing plate (7) including a deformation formation (9, 9') associated with the or each attachment means (3), whereby the or each deformation formation (9, 9') is adapted to be displaced from the backing plate (7) when assembly of the liner (10) overlays a localised unevenness or discontinuity on the surface (4.1,4.2).
