10 Claims, 4 Drawing Figures SHEET PATENTED JUL 2 9 I975 EXCAVATING MACHINE REFERENCE TO PRIOR ART This disclosure constitutes an improvement over US. Pat. No. 3.252.606.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION It is. accordingly. an object of the invention to provide an improved dipper stick and clamshell bucket.
Another object of the invention is to provide the dipper stick and clamshell bucket and means to swing the bucket pivotally about two separate axes perpendicular to each other and to swing each of the buckets relative to the other.
Another object of the invention is to provide an improved support for a clamshell bucket in combination with a dipper stick.
With the above and other objects in view, the present invention consists of the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that changes may be made in the form. size, proportions, and minor details of construction without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. I is a side view of the combination according to the invention. showing the buckets in closed position.
FIG. 2 is a front view of the combination shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a view similar to FIG. 1, showing the buckets in open position.
FIG. 4 is a cross sectional view taken on line 44 of FIG. 2.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Now with more particular reference to the drawings, the machine disclosed is made up generally ofa dipper stick l0, buckets 32 and 33, which may be swung relative to each other and be tilted relative to the dipper stick 10. The dipper stick may be supported on a backhoe dipper stick or the like by suitable supporting arrangement familiar to those skilled in the art. The dipper stick l0 and the first bucket 32 may be used like the bucket and the dipper stick of US. Pat. No. 3.231.116. In addition thereto the second bucket 33, which is swingably connected to the first bucket 32 and controlled by cylinders 34, can be opened and closed with the rear bucket thereby forming a clamshell bucket.
The bucket support 11 is made up of the spaced side plates 12 which have the lugs 14 and 15 disposed between them and fixed to the side plates 12. The lugs 14 and 15 extend downwardly below side plates 12 and each have two spaced axially extending holes aligned with each other. These axially aligned holes receive the king pin 25. The lugs 14 and 15 each have two laterally spaced axially extending holes that receive the members 50. Members 50 are fixed to the cylinders 26. The members 50 allow the cylinders to swing.
Lugs 14 and 15 are in the form of plates that are fixed to the spaced plates 12 of the bucket support and extend downwardly.
The first bucket 32 has a relatively heavy top plate 52 to which the two laterally spaced flanges are fixed.
Brackets 56 are also fixed to plate 52. Brackets 23 and 24 are generally triangular in shape. The lower edges of the brackets 23 and 24 are received between the spaced flanges 30 and pins 44 and 45 extend through holes in the flanges 30 and through the holes in the lower ends of the brackets 23 and 24. The upper ends of the brackets 23 and 24 each have a hole which receives king pin 25 and brackets 23 and 24 are fixed to king pin 25. The second bucket 33 has a top plate 57 and spaced flanges 31 fixed to top plate 57. Pin 43 extends through flanges 31 on second bucket 33 and through flanges 30 on first bucket 32 thereby swingably connecting the second bucket 33 to the first bucket 32. The cylinders 34 each have spaced lugs 49 fixed to the end of the cylinder opposite piston rod 46. These lugs 49 receive the pins 51. Spaced pairs of lugs 40 are welded to the front part of the plate 57. Each pair of lugs 40 receives the piston rods 46 between them. Pins 36 extend through the lugs 40 and through the piston rods 46. The second bucket 33 can be swung to the position shown in FIG. 3 by means of the cylinder 34 and swung backward to the position shown in FIG. 2. The entire bucket assembly including buckets 32 and 33 and brackets 23 and 24 can be swung laterally by means of cylinders 26 and piston rods 38 which are connected to lugs 28.
The lower end of the dipper stick 10 is pivoted by pin 42 to the side plates 12. Links '18 are pivoted to dipper stick 10 by pin 21 and to the common point of the piston rod 41 and the links 19 by means of pin 20. Links 19 are pivoted to the side plates 12 by means of pivot 22.
It will be seen that the crank arms 28 are fixed to the king pin 25 and king pin 25 is fixed to the brackets 23 and 24. Thus by means of the cylinders 26, the buckets 32 and 33 can be swung laterally from the central position shown in full lines in FIG. 2 to either of the dashed line positions. By means of the cylinder 17, the two buckets 32 and 33 can be swung longitudinally and by means of the cylinders 34, the [bucket 33 can be swung from open position shown in FIG. 3 to the closed position shown in FIG. 1. Thus the machine can be used as a regular backhoe or as a clamshell.
The buckets 32 and 33 each have a flat top that are generally triangular in shape and have an arcuate outer edge and 61 which extends between jaws 63 and 64 and sides 56 and 57 respectively. Lugs 40 are fixed to side 57 remote from pivot 43.
The bucket disclosed herein can be controlled in all of its functions from the cab of the vehicle on which it is mounted. The bucket has wrist action that is rotatable about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle as well as about the ordinary lateral action. It is made so that one-half of the bucket can be removed and the other half can be used for ordinary backhoe operation. The half that has been removed can be reinstalled when it is desired to use the clam type operation.
The teeth on the buckets are bolted on and can be removed for ditch cleaning and clean up and other job applications where teeth are not required. Grapple tongs could be substituted for the bucket parts when this is desired.
The foregoing specification sets forth the invention in its preferred practical forms but the structure shown is capable of modification within a range of equivalents without departing from the invention which is to be understood is broadly novel as is commensurate with the appended claims.
