ABSTRACT:
A log splitting apparatus having an elongated frame, a selectively actuatable log moving ram mounted at one end of the frame, and a log splitting wedge assembly mounted at the opposite end of the frame. The wedge assembly includes a plurality of wedge tip sections which are removably mountable in vertically stacked relation and having interlocking lugs and recesses between mating upper and lower sides thereof for maintaining the wedge sections in proper alignment. A base plate is mounted on the frame for receiving and retaining the stack of wedge tip sections in proper orientation on the frame, and an upstanding support is mounted on the frame for vertically supporting the wedge tip sections and serving as a reactionary member for forces exerted on the wedge tip sections during log splitting. The wedge tip sections are further positively secured in mounted position by a vertically disposed clamping bolt threaded engaging the base plate. Such apparatus permits the use of a plurality of identically formed wedge tip sections for use in different sized log splitters, as well as enabling quick and economical replacement of damaged portions of the wedge assembly.
