Abstract

This invention relates to a mounting pin 100 and a pin securing assembly 10 for use in a pivot joint. The pin securing assembly 10 comprises: a pin mounting piece 12; and a mounting pin 100. The mounting pin 100 comprises: anelongate body portion 102 which is positioned within the pin mounting piece 12; and a protruding portion 104 which protrudes from the pin mounting piece 12. The securing assembly 10 further comprises securing member 14 which defines a seat 16 which engages the protruding portion 104 of the mounting pin 100 and locking means 18 in the form of a plurality of bolts which releasably lock the securing member 14 to the pin mounting piece 12.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to fastening devices, and in particular to a mounting pin and pin securing assembly for forming a pivot joint, for example, to attach a work tool or implement to a machine operating the work tool. Background technique [0002] A generally cylindrical pin is typically utilized to attach a work tool or implement, such as a grapple, to a tool mount of a machine on which the implement is operated. The pin holds the implement on the machine while allowing the implement to rotate or rock freely relative to the tool mount. [0003] To mount an appliance in a known configuration, a tool mount defining a bore for receiving a pin is inserted between a pair of opposing attachment plates of an attachment portion of the appliance to be mounted. The attachment plates have aligned holes for receiving pins through each plate. The pin includes a flanged head attached to one end of a cylindrical pin body and a locking structure ...
