Abstract
A forkhook has a beveled portion formed on the periphery thereof so as to be welded to a fork. Dams are provided at corners of the beveled portion to prevent the liquid weld bead from dropping to the outer peripheral areas. Also, dams are provided between the beveled portion and the groove for receiving a locking pin to prevent the liquid weld bead from dropping into the groove. Thus, the operation for welding the forkhook to the fork is facilitated.
