Description
A TOOTH BAR MOUNTING
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to material handling equipment such as excavators, backhoes, and- clamping and grappling equipment, and the like. More particularly it relates to a mounting for a tooth bar on a thumb assembly for use with such equipment.
BACKGROUND
The use of a thumb, with attached tooth bar, on excavator machinery is well known. Typically the thumb is used in conjunction with the excavator bucket so as to make the bucket more effective in picking up material. For example in demolition sites a thumb is a particularly useful means of grabbing material which would otherwise be difficult to be picked up solely by a bucket.
The thumb is typically pivotally mounted to the excavator arm and is controllable, by an hydraulic ram. The thumb has a tooth bar attached to its distal outer end, this tooth bar -generally being configured to suit the particular type of bucket with which it is to be used. For example, the tooth bar may have four or six teeth depending on the number of teeth mounted to the edge of the bucket.

The use of a thumb, with attached tooth bar, on excavator machinery is well known. Typically the thumb is used in conjunction with the excavator bucket so as to make the bucket more effective in picking up material. For example in demolition sites a thumb is a particularly useful means of grabbing material which would otherwise be difficult to be picked up solely by a bucket.
The thumb is typically pivotally mounted to the excavator arm and is controllable, by an hydraulic ram. The thumb has a tooth bar attached to its distal outer end, this tooth bar -generally being configured to suit the particular type of bucket with which it is to be used. For example, the tooth bar may have four or six teeth depending on the number of teeth mounted to the edge of the bucket.
2 Because of the differing end user requirements it is often the case that the manufacturer of the thumb will manufacturer thumb assemblies particularly suited for the end application.
Consequently there is always a lead time between an end user ordering a thumb and it actually being delivered from the manufacturer.
Accordingly there is a need for a more modular system whereby the manufacturer can have a standard thumb sub-assembly and attach to this a suitable pre-manufactured tooth bar depending on the end users requirements.
Typically the tooth bar may be welded to the thumb,. but With a more modular system it is more practical .to have bolt on tooth bars. Bolt on tooth bars are already known, however those that are known generally suffer from draw backs - the main one being that they tend to work loose as a consequence of the forces, and sometimes extreme treatment, which the thumb experiences during normal use.
It is consequently an object of the present invention to provide a mounting for a tooth bar on a thumb which at least goes some way to overcoming the problem of loosening of the'tooth bar during operation of the thumb,

10. In the drawings Figures 1 and 2 show a tooth bar of a"universaP' type.. By way of further illustration, however, Figures 3 and 4 show a tooth bar having four teeth configured to inter-engage with the five teeth on the cutting edge of the excavator bucket. Other configurations of tooth bar can be mounted to the thumb assembly using the mounting of the present 15 invention.
Figure 1 shows the component parts of the thumb. This includes a thumb subassembly 10 and tooth bar 11. The subassembly 10 has a mounting plate 12 which forms a mounting surface 12a against which a plate 13 of 20 the tooth bar 11 can engage and be bolted thereto by a series of bolts and associated nuts 14..
The subassembly 10 includes a pair of side plates 15 which, in accordance with conventional construction, include along one edge 25 thereof serrations or teeth 15. At the ends of the side plates 15 opposite to mounting plate 12 are a pair of aligned openings 17. Bushes 18 are provided for the openings 17. Through the bushes 18 is engaged a pin 19 by which, together with selected spacers 20, the subassembly 10 can be typically attached to the excavator arm E. To one end of the pin 19 is attached a radial extending plate 21 to which a retainer bar 22 is fitted.
Between the side plates 15 is a mounting plate 23 which, as more clearly
5 shown in Figures 1 and 4, carries flanges 24 having openings therein which align with openings in the side plates 15 and through which a thumb pin 25 can be engaged. This provides a mounting for the bush 26 of the piston rod of hydraulic ram 27. The body of the hydraulic ram 27 has a bush 28 which is engaged in bracket 29 via pin 30.
Attached to the mounting plate 13 of the tooth bar 11 is the teeth assembly 31. This can include a plurality of teeth 32 (see Figure 4) or in the more universal fitting of Figures 1 and 2 a toothed or serrated plate 33.
The upper edge of the mounting plate 13 is preferably bevelled as indicated,by numeral 34. The mounting plate 13 further includes a series of openings which align with elongate openings 35 in the mounting plate 12 of the subassembly 10. The bolts 14 pass through thes.e aligned openings and with the associated nuts bolt the mounting plates 12 and 13 together.
The mounting according to the present invention includes a plurality of flanges 36 which, in the illustrated form, are a pair of parallel spaced apart flanges mounted to the mounting plate 23. These flanges 36 are, in the illustrated form of the construction; located either side of an opening 37 formed in the mounting plate 23.
Each of the mounting flanges 36 have a finger portion 37 which extends over the mounting surface of the mounting plate 12. These fingers 37 include an edge surface 38 which faces towards the mounting surFace 12a and is configured such that the distance between the edge 38 and the
Attached to the mounting plate 13 of the tooth bar 11 is the teeth assembly 31. This can include a plurality of teeth 32 (see Figure 4) or in the more universal fitting of Figures 1 and 2 a toothed or serrated plate 33.
The upper edge of the mounting plate 13 is preferably bevelled as indicated,by numeral 34. The mounting plate 13 further includes a series of openings which align with elongate openings 35 in the mounting plate 12 of the subassembly 10.

The mounting according to the present invention includes a plurality of flanges 36 which, in the illustrated form, are a pair of parallel spaced apart flanges mounted to the mounting plate 23. These flanges 36 are, in the illustrated form of the construction; located either side of an opening 37 formed in the mounting plate 23.
Each of the mounting flanges 36 have a finger portion 37 which extends over the mounting surface of the mounting plate 12. These fingers 37 include an edge surface 38 which faces towards the mounting surFace 12a and is configured such that the distance between the edge 38 and the
6 mounting surface 12a decreases inwardly from the distal ends of finger 37.
The result is a narroWing slot into which the bevelled edge 34 can be engaged when the mounting plate 13 is bought into engagement with mounting plate 12. There is thus a wedging action between the edge 38/mounting surface 12a and the mounting plate 13 of the tooth bar 11.
Accordingly when the tooth bar 11 is mounted to the subassembly 10 the edge 34 is introduced between the edge surFaces 38 of the fingers 37 and the mounting surface 12a. The tooth bar 11 is then driven into hard engagement with the fingers 37 so that the edge 34 is firmly wedged into position. This is shown in more detail in the enlarged part view in Figure 3.
The bolts 14 are then introduced through the aligned openings 35 and the openings in the mounting plate 13 and the tooth bar thereby bolted onto the subassembly 10. The elongate nature of the openings 35 ensure that the mounting plates 12 and 13 can be bolted together irrespective of the final pbsition of the edge 34 between the fingers 37 and mounting plate 12.
If, during use, the tooth bar 11 loosens it is simply a matter of loosening off the nuts/bolts 14 followed by a driving force applied to the tooth bar 11 so as to force the edge 34 further into wedging engagement between the mounting surface 12a and the edge surfaces-38 and retightening the nuts on the bolts.
The present invention thus provides a mounting arrangement for a tooth bar such that the tooth bar 11 can be readily fitted onto the subassembly 10 and held firmly in place. The invention therefore lessens the likelihood of the tooth bar 11 working loose. Even though the forces to which the tooth bar will be subjected during normal use may still cause the tooth bar to loosen, the likelihood - is less than with conventional mounting
