Abstract

[Problem] The present invention provides an adapter with concealing portion at a bucket tip end having an existing adapter function in this type of adapters, that is, a function as an adapter tool when a tooth board or a point is attached to a bucket tip end portion, and if being used as an adapter when the tooth board is attached to the bucket tip end portion, by being configured to cover/conceal the bucket tip end portion (edge portion), abrasion at the bucket tip end portion is drastically reduced and a life of the bucket itself is drastically extended and thus, a replacement period/replacement work of a bucket can be drastically extended and as a result, cost reduction of this type of working machines can be realized. [Solution] An adapter 11 with concealing portion at a bucket tip end of the present invention is to be attached to an edge portion 2 of a bucket 1 for an operation performing excavation and the like and is configured to have an adapter main body 14 provided with an attachment portion 12 attached to the edge portion 2 of the bucket 1 and a projecting body 13 for attaching a point 31 or a tooth board 41, projected from this attachment portion 12; and a concealing portion 15 integrally formed in a state projecting sideward from the attachment portion 12 of the adapter main body 14, attached to this edge portion in a state covering the edge portion on the side of the attachment portion 12 and concealing the edge portion 2.
