主权项

1. Apparatus for use with a loader bucket, comprising:
a first tine and a second tine, each of said first and second tines having a forward end, a rearward end and a first surface; a first clamping mechanism mounted to said first tine, and a second clamping mechanism mounted to said second tine, said first and second clamping mechanisms being adapted to releasably mount said first and second tines to the loader bucket with a space between them; a stabilizer bar comprising:
(i) a center tube having a hollow interior with opposed ends, said center tube being located between said first and second clamping mechanisms;(ii) a first end tube having an inner end and an outer end mounted to said first clamping mechanism, one of said first end tube and said center tube being formed with a number of spaced first bores and the other being formed with at least one second bore, said inner end of said first end tube being insertable into one end of said hollow interior of said center tube so that said at least one second bore aligns with one of said spaced first bores in position to receive a fastener;(iii) a second end tube having an inner end and an outer end mounted to said second clamping mechanism, one of said second end tube and said center tube being formed with a number of spaced third bores and the other being formed with at least one fourth bore, said inner end of said second end tube being insertable into the opposite end of said hollow interior of said center tube so that said at least one fourth bore aligns with on of said spaced third bores in position to receive a fastener.
