Abstract (en)

A mineral cutter pick (1) has an oblong section to define leading (3), trailing (4) and side (5) faces of a shank (2), and hence has longitudinal and transverse axes (6, 7). The shank (2) is provided with a single, circular section through hole (16) extending orthogonally across its side faces (5), in which hole (16) is fitted a resilient member (17) of circular section with an external diameter to match that of the hole (16), the resilient member (17) itself having a coaxial through hole (18) so as to provide an annulus of constant thickness when uncompressed and adapted, in use, after the pick shank (2) has been inserted into a shank-receiving aperture (22) of a pick box (5), to itself receive, and frictionally retain, a manually insertable, and manually removable, metal pin (23) adapted to project beyond the side faces (5). The invention also includes a pick box (15), to receive the shank (2) comprising a body (28) provided with a through hole (31) extending orthogonally across the body (28) and adapted, in use, to intersect with the through hole (18) of the resilient member (17). The invention also includes a pick and box combination.
