ABSTRACT:
Reversible protectors are normally utilized to protect the leading edge of a work member from high wear during use. It is also advantageous to have a reversible protector that can be secured to a work member even though the work member may be composed of several components which are welded together thus adversely affecting the tolerances between the various components. In this subject arrangement, a reversible protector is provided and adapted to be mounted on and secured to a work member. The reversible protector has recesses located in the lower end thereof which, when assembled, are in mating engagement with protuberances on the work member. This mating engagement secures the lower end of the reversible protector to the work member. A pair of aligned openings are provided near the other end thereof which aligns with a transverse hole in the work member for receiving a retaining mechanism therethrough. The protuberances on the work member are protected from wear during use by respective lugs on the reversible protector that are located, when in use, directly adjacent the protuberances. The lugs also protect aligned openings in the reversible protector since the aligned openings are located behind and adjacent the respective lugs.
