EXCAVATING TOOTH

摘要

An excavating tooth for attachment to the digging edge of excavating equipment includes a wear member (12) provided with bearing faces (67, 68, 72) in a socket which extend substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the tooth. The bearing faces are formed to widen significantly as they extend rearward to provide board bearing surfaces at the rear ends (84) of the wear member. The bearing faces are placed between converging walls (78, 79) and sidewalls (74, 75) of the socket at obtuse angles thereto to avoid areas of stress concentration. The wear member is further secured to the adapter by locks which ease installation and removal of the wear member.
