Abstract
A tool adapter for attaching a tool to a work implement using a retaining mechanism that includes a body that defines a pocket that defines an abutment or reinforcement surface. The body may include a nose portion that is configured to facilitate the attachment of a tool, a first leg, a second leg, a throat portion that connects the legs and nose portion together, wherein at least one leg defines an aperture that is configured to receive a retaining mechanism. The first and second legs and the throat portion also define a slot that includes a closed end and an open end that defines a direction of assembly onto a work implement and the minimum distance measured from the abutment surface to the throat measured in the direction of assembly is less than the minimum distance from the aperture to the throat measured in the direction of assembly.
