Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A wear member includes a rear mounting region having a shelf forming a bottom surface and a rear surface or a plurality of mounting pads with at least one recess disposed at least partially on at least one of the plurality of the mounting pads.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A wear member configured to be attached to a work implement, the wear member comprising: a body defining a front working region including a bottom cutting edge and defining a working direction, a rear mounting region, a first side region connecting the front working region to the rear mounting region, and a second side region connecting the front working region to the rear mounting region; wherein the rear mounting region includes a shelf forming a bottom surface that is spaced above the bottom cutting edge along a direction that is perpendicular to the working direction, and a rear surface. 2. The wear member of claim 1 , wherein the first side region includes a wear indicator that extends along a direction parallel to the working direction. 3. The wear member of claim 2 , wherein the bottom surface includes a planar shelf face that extends along the working direction and is parallel to the wear indicator, being coplanar therewith and the wear indicator is a groove. 4. The wear member of claim 1 , wherein the body of the wear member defines a transverse direction and a sweep path that is at least partially transverse to the working direction and the sweep path at least partially forming an oblique angle with the transverse direction, forming an end bit. 5. The wear member of claim 1 , wherein the body of the wear member defines a transverse direction and a sweep path that is at least partially transverse to the working direction and the sweep path is parallel to the transverse direction, forming an intermediate bit or a center bit. 6. The wear member of claim 5 , wherein the body of the wear member defines a vertical direction and the first side region is configured at an angle to the vertical direction to match the adjacent side region of an intermediate bit and the second side region is configured to be vertical to match the side surface of a work implement. 7. The wear member of claim 5 , wherein the body of the wear member defines a vertical direction and the first side region is configured at an angle to match the adjacent side region of an end bit and the second side region is configured to be vertical to match the adjacent side region of a center bit. 8. A wear member configured to be attached to a work implement, the wear member comprising: a body defining a front working region including a bottom edge and defining a working direction, a rear mounting region, a first side region connecting the front working region to the rear mounting region, and a second side region connecting the front working region to the rear mounting region; wherein the rear mounting region includes a shelf forming a bottom surface that is spaced above the bottom cutting edge along a direction that is perpendicular to the working direction, and a rear surface and the first side region defines a wear indicator. 9. The wear member of claim 8 , wherein the the bottom surface is parallel to the working direction and the wear indicator extends parallel to the working direction. 10. The wear member of claim 9 , wherein the bottom surface is a planar shelf face and the wear indicator is a groove.
