摘要 |
<p>The present invention provides a hammerless mechanical attachment system (10) comprising a C-clamp member (46), a first wedge member (48), a second wedge member (50) and a threaded tensioning device (52) for attaching a tooth adapter (12) to a base cutting edge (14) of an implement that eliminates bending forces on the tensioning bolt (52) or the misalignment between the mounting holes for such tensioning bolt (52). The threaded tensioning device (52) is disposed through the bolt hole (76) in the first wedge member (48) and threadably engaged with the threaded aperture (68) in the flange (64) of the C-clamp member (46), whereby the second wedge member (50) is caused to move in a forward direction upon tightening of the threaded tensioning device (52) for securing the adapter (12) to the base edge (14).</p> |
