Angled edge bucket excavation tool

Abstract

An angled edge bucket excavation tool for excavation use is mounted to an arm of an excavation machine, such as an excavator or loader. The tool has a body mounted for rotation from the arm, a pair of generally flat, non-similar side leading edge plates mounted to the body, a pair of side plates and a formed back sheet mounted to the body and the side leading edges, an angled front leading edge plate mounted to span the region of the angled edge bucket between the side leading edge plates constructed with or without teeth, the angled leading edge attached to the back sheet and the side plates defining, together, an angled edge bucket volume for receiving material excavated from the hard packed substrate during excavation action. Methods of use are also described.

1 . An angled edge bucket excavation tool for use mounted to an arm of an excavation machine, said angled edge bucket excavation tool comprising:
 a body mounted for rotation from the arm;   a pair of generally flat, non-similar side leading edge plates mounted to the body;   a pair of side plates and a formed back sheet mounted to said body and said side leading edges; and   an angled front leading edge plate mounted to span the region of the angled edge bucket between said side leading edge plates, and attached to said back sheet and said side plates, to define, together, an angled edge bucket volume for receiving material excavated from the hard packed substrate during excavation action.
