Claims
- 1. A tiered trenching backhoe apparatus comprising:
- a trenching plate having a transverse bend therein located between substantially planar first and second plate portions or said trenching plate, said trenching plate having first and second end edges oriented substantially parallel to said transverse bend and having lateral side edges extending between said end edges;
- a first tooth mount secured to said first end edge of the trenching plate and protecting in a direction substantially orthogonal to said first end edge;
- a second tooth mount secured to said first end edge and projecting from said first end edge in an orientation substantially parallel to the first tooth mount;
- a planar side member secured to the lateral side edge of the trenching plate adjacent to a trihedral support member and projecting substantially parallel to a plate portion of said trenching plate;
- wherein said planar side member includes a downward bend therein at a location spaced from said lateral side edge; and
- a mounting pocket mounted on said trenching plate for receiving at least one tooth shank of a backhoe bucket; and
- a mounting strap for holding said pocket in an abutted condition to a tooth shank of a backhoe bucket, said mounting strap being mounted to said mounting pocket and extending from said mounting pocket for mounting to the bucket.
- 2. A tiered trenching backhoe apparatus comprising:
- a trenching plate having a transverse bend therein located between substantially planar first and second plate portions of said trenching plate, said trenching plate having first and second end edges oriented substantially parallel to said transverse bend and having lateral side edges extending between said end edges having first and second trihedral support members mounted thereto;
- a first tooth mount secured to said first end edge of the trenching plate and projecting in a direction substantially orthogonal to said first end edge;
- a second tooth mount secured to said first end edge and projecting from said first end edge in an orientation substantially parallel to the first tooth mount;
- a planar side member secured to the lateral side edge of the trenching plate adjacent to said second triliedral support member and projecting substantially parallel to a plate portion of said trenching plate;
- wherein said planar side member includes a downward bend therein at a location spaced from said lateral side edge; and
- a mounting pocket mounted on said trenching plate for receiving at least one tooth shank of a backhoe bucket; and
- a lateral mounting plate for holding said pocket in an abutted condition to a tooth shank of a backhoe bucket, said lateral mounting plate extending from said first trihedral support member for attachment to a side of said backhoe bucket.
