INSERT FOR LOCKING MECHANISM FOR GROUND ENGAGING TOOLS

摘要

The present invention is directed to an insert for use with ground engaging tools. It allows newer-type locking mechanisms to be used to lock wear members to older-style d support structures. The insert is comprised of an elongated body for insertion into a passage in the support structure. At one end is a faceplate for engaging the inner surface of the wear member. At the other end is preferably an attachment means far connecting to corresponding attachments on the inner surface of the opposing leg of the we ar member. The faceplate has a recess for receiving the end of a lock pin used to lock the wear member or adapter to the support structure. Alternatively, a lock pin may ab ut against the rear end of the faceplate.
