FIXING MEANS FOR FIXING A WEAR ELEMENT ON THE FRONT EDGE OF A SUPPORT

The present invention relates to fixing means for fixing a wear element (2) on a support (1), where the wear element (2) comprises two arms (7) wrapping around the front edge (11) of the support. The fixing means comprise: [a] a C-shaped body (3), [b] a wedge (4), [c] a screw (5) with a shank, with a first segment (15) having a smaller diameter than the head (14), a second segment (16) having a larger diameter than the first segment (15), and a threaded segment (17), and [d] a nut (6). The shank of the screw is housed between the wedge (4) and the body (3). The C-shaped body (3) has a C-shaped projection (18) suitable for housing the first segment (15) of the screw (5). The projection (18) has substantially the same height as the first segment (15). Neither the head (14) nor the second segment (16) can go through the projection (18). The wedge (4) has a first projection (19) and a second projection (20). Both projections (19, 20) have through holes (21, 22) suitable for allowing the passage of the threaded segment (17) and suitable for blocking the passage of the nut (6), and the distance between both projection (19, 20) is greater than the height of the nut (6).
