ABSTRACT:
An attachment assembly for securing excavation teeth to the loading or dipper bucket on large excavation equipment. The assembly includes a bucket lip adapted to be secured to a loading or dipper bucket, and a plurality of shanks adapted to be secured to the lip and carry the excavation teeth. The lip defines a forward edge extending transversely thereacross and defining a plurality of spaced first curvilinear bearing surfaces. Each of the shanks carried by the bucket lip defines a lateral channel therein adapted to receive a portion of the bucket lip and terminating in a second curvilinear bearing surface. The second curvilinear bearing surface abuts and mates with one of the first curvilinear bearing surfaces on the bucket lip upon shank being disposed thereover. The first and second curvilinear bearing surfaces define equal radius segments of a constant radius circle such that the shank can be aligned parallel to at an angle at up to fifteen degrees with respect to the central longitudinal axis of the bucket lip with the abutting and mating relationships of the first and second bearing surfaces being maintained so as to prevent bearing fracture within the shank during use. The mating relationships of the bearing surfaces defined by the bucket lip and shanks obviate the need to provide differently configured shanks for left, right and central mounting on bucket lips provided with conventional arcuate or spade-shaped forward edges and additionally allows the outer most shanks to be angled outwardly from the central axis of the lip to provide a digging clearance for the bucket.
