Although the materials from which ripper tips and their adaptors or shank members are fabricated are generally very hard and durable, a high wear rate and frequent need for replacement thereof are often exhibited.
Because such parts must be frequently replaced in the field and because ripper equipment is generally attached in plural to earthmoving vehicles, a ripper tip assembly having few parts for rapid and facile servicing and having parts fabricated from inexpensive readily obtainable materials has long been desired.
The instant invention provides a ripper tip assembly which requires only one conventional fastening means, such as a knock-out pin or the like. The actual ripper tip member is retained in position by frictional engagement with a supporting shank member and by a bar member made from common, unmachined bar stock.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The instant invention provides an economical and readily serviceable ripper tip assemblage comprising a ripper shank member upon which is surroundingly mounted a hardened ripper tip member having aperture means therethrough which register with bore means in said support shank member. Through the ap* erture and bore means, a piece of common bar stock is inserted to fixedly retain the tip member axially upon the support shank member. The bar stock member is prevented from axial movement within the apertures and bore means only by the expedient placement of overlapping portions of a shank protector or shin guard member which is disposed upon and connected to a proximal portion of the support shank member by means of conventional fastening means.
The main object of the present invention is to provide a readily removable and installable ripper tip assemblage which has few parts, is simple-in construction, and is partially fabricated from readily available, inexpensive bar stock.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description and drawing.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIG. 1 is an elevation of the lower earth-engaging portion of a ripper tip assembly showing a shank member, tip member, and shin guard disposed in operative orientation; and
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the apparatus taken along the line II-II in FIG. 1.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION Referring concurrently to FIGS. 1 and 2 f the drawing, at 6 is shown the lower portion of a ripper tip supporting shank member of the type generally attached to an earthmoving vehicle for ripping operations. The shank member is generally tapered as shown and culminates distally in a wedged or conically-shaped tip or member from the bore 10.
A pair of apertures or bores 12 and 14 are provided in the reduced section portion 15. It should be noted at this point that if other than a conically or semiconically closed shape for the reduced portion of the tip member 2 were to be selected, separate flat furcations having parallel sides and mating surfaces with the tip portion 4 (not shown) could be provided for the apertures l2 and 14.
With the tip member 2 fitted upon the nose or tip portion 4, the surface 3 is in firm contact with the contoured frontal surfaces of the tip portion 4 for support thereof. The interior of the chamber 17, though shown to provide a slight clearance for the tip portion 4, actually fits quite closely to the tip portion and provides support for the tip member while allowing minute movement thereof from side to side so as to assist in- .stallation and removal of the tip member upon the shank member.
,Insertable through the bore 10 and extending through the apertures 12 and 14, is a bar member 8 made of common bar stock which may be plain cut or slightly beveled at the ends thereof so as to present smooth edges. The bar member is preferably of uniform cross section throughout its length and requires no special machining or heat treatment. The retaining bar member 8 would normally be susceptible to sliding axially out of position during use of the ripper assemblage except for the provision of the shin guard retaining means of the present invention. The shin guard or shank protector is shown generally at 16. It is a generally U-shaped member having a pair of downwardly extending legs 18 and 20, each of which is provided with an aperture 11. The shin guard has a closed upper surface which protectively folds over the upper surfaces of the shank member and the reduced portion of the tip member 15. With the shin guard in position, it extends in covering protective relation over the distal enlarged portion of the shank member 6 and the reduced portion 15 of the tip member 2 and terminates near the shoulder portion 7. The inner surfaces of the shin guard legs 18 and 20 extend over the open ends of the apertures 12 and 14 and effectively prevent axial movement of the bar member 8 therefrom so as to prevent accidental displacement of the tip member 2. The shin guard is retained upon the shank member 6 by means of a retaining pin 22 which may be of conventional design but which is .preferably the quick-change type and maybe provided with an enlarged resilient center portion 24 or with a snap ring fitted into grooves within the bore 13 (not shown).
When mounted in position, neither the bar stock bar member 8 nor the retaining pin 22 experience any direct shear loading. Loads which act longitudinally along the forward end of the tip member 2 are resisted by the lateral and frontal surfaces of the nose portion 4 and are distributed within the tip member 2 by the junction surface 3. Since the bar member 8 is not a load bearing member, no special heat treatment of the common bar stock from which it is made is required.
While the preferred embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, it should be understood that these embodiments are capable of variations and modifications which are well within the spirit of inventive concepts. No limitation to the precise details set forth is intended and all alterations of the basic invention which fall within the scope of the appended claims are engrossed by the invention.
