ABSTRACT:
This invention is an attachment to heavy equipment blades and has a set of ripping teeth projecting downwardly from a pivoting support frame. The frame ordinarily extends downwardly from the pivotal hanger along the front of the blade, with the teeth projecting beyond the lower edge of the blade. As the vehicle, such as a bulldozer, moves forward, the teeth rip, as would teeth which were rigidly secured to the blade. However, as the vehicle moves backward, the teeth and frames swing forward in a floating motion, preventing the teeth from fracturing while allowing the blade to scrape. In a preferred embodiment, the frame includes two end members, each having an ear which curves rearwardly toward the blade. Each bracket releasably receives a forwardly projecting hanger mounted on the upper surface of the blade. The hanger and brackets contain aligned apertures through which a pin is releasably inserted to secure the frame to the blade. With gussets, the frame may be wider than the blade.
