Abstract
A loader bucket comprises a pair of vertically disposed sidewalls, a bottom wall secured between the sidewalls and a cutting edge secured on a forward end of the bottom wall. A corner reinforcement for each side of the bucket comprises a member having a bottom edge thereof secured to the cutting edge and a rearward edge thereof secured to a forward edge of a respective sidewall. A bevel is formed on an inboard side of the member to intersect the rearward edge thereof and to define an obtuse angle relative to the sidewall. A first weld secures the bevel and rearward edge of the corner member to the inboard surface and forward edge of the sidewall whereas a second weld secures the rearward edge of the corner member to an outboard surface and the forward edge of the sidewall.
