IMPLEMENT TIP ASSEMBLY HAVING TIP WITH WEAR INDICATOR
Abstract:
A ground engaging tip (14) of a tip assembly (10) for a base edge (8) of a ground engaging implement (1) has an adapter (12) configured for attachment to the base edge of implement and having a forwardly extending adapter nose (20). The ground engaging tip has a rear edge (52), a top outer surface (54), and a bottom outer surface (56). The top outer surface and the bottom outer surface extend forward from the rear edge of the ground engaging tip and converge at a front edge (58) of the ground engaging tip. The ground engaging tip also has a nose cavity (38), within the ground engaging tip and defined between the converging top and bottom outer surfaces of the ground engaging tip, for receiving the adapter nose therein. The nose cavity includes a wear indicator (92) extending from an inner surface of the nose cavity (84, 94, 96), into the ground engaging tip, toward the bottom outer surface of the ground engaging tip.
