| 20120055052 | Connector Pin Assembly with Dual Function Outer End Portions, and Associated Ground Engaging Apparatus - A connector pin assembly is insertable into aligned openings in telescoped ground engaging wear and support members to releasably hold the wear member on the support member. The assembly has a tubular outer housing that is nonrotatably received in the openings. A connector pin longitudinally extends through the housing and is rotatable relative thereto among selectively variable rotational orientations in which the pin is releasably locked to the housing by cooperative detent structures carried by the housing and the pin. Outer end portions of the pin perform two functions which are controlled by rotating the pin relative to the housing. First, outer pin member end portions are rotatable to selectively hold the wear member on the support member or release it therefrom. Second, the outer pin end portions are rotatable to adjustably tighten the wear member onto the support member. | 03-08-2012 |
| 20090205228 | Double Cam Taper Lock Connector Pin Apparatus - A hammerless connector pin assembly is insertable in the aligned connector openings in telescoped ground engaging wear and support members and is releasably lockable therein. The inserted assembly has opposite end portions that block removal of the wear member from the support member. Each of the two end portions has a laterally projecting cam member disposed thereon which is positioned within opposite ones of the two opposed wear member connector openings. As the interior surface of the wear member becomes worn from use and is able to shift further rearwardly along the support member, the cam members may simultaneously be rotationally adjusted to maintain contact with the wear member to prevent forward movement thereof away from its rearward shifted position, and then locked in their rotationally adjusted positions. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20080276500 | Hammerless C-Clamp and Wedge Connector System - A ground-engaging wear member is releasably retained on an associated support structure by a specially designed hammerless C-clamp and wedge connector system extending through aligned openings in the wear member and support structure. Illustratively, the wear member is an adapter, and the support structure is a bucket lip. | 11-13-2008 |
