This relates to the mounting of vanes on a runnerhead of an abrasive blasting machine. The face of the runnerhead is provided with slots in which bases of vanes are slid in a generally radial direction with the base having an interlock with the runnerhead so as to retain the vane against movement normal to the face of the runnerhead. This particularly has to do with the locking of the vane base in the runnerhead slot. The pin is rectangular as opposed to the usual circular pin and the outer ends of the runnerhead slot and vane base are provided with cooperating slots and grooves which receive the pin, the pin being inserted in a first groove and slot arrangement at an angle to the axis of the base and then rotated or pivoted into a second groove and slot arrangement where it is locked in place against retrieval. The pin is locked in place by the outward movement of the vane from its pin inserting position. The machine has a safety feature in that when the vane is in the pin receiving position, the inner end thereof will engage a lug cast on the outside of the impeller case so as to prevent rotation of the runnerhead.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION We claim: 1.
A runnerhead and vane assembly of a blast wheel, said runnerhead having an exposed face with a plurality of generally radiating vane receiving slots therein, each slot having a base and side walls; the improvement residing in a vane retaining pin receiving slot in each vane receiving slot base adjacent the radial outer end thereof, said pin receiving slot sloping away from said face and radially inwardly and terminating at the radially inner end thereof in an end wall forming means for facilitating the pivoting and centering of an intended retaining pin, a blast wheel vane mounted in each of said slots, each blast wheel vane including a mounting base seated in a respective vane receiving slot and a projecting vane element, said base having inner and outer end portions, a retaining pin receiving groove in the underside of said base outer end portion, a retaining pin partially seated in both said pin receiving slot and said groove with said base preventing withdrawal of said pin and said pin preventing withdrawal of said blast wheel vane, and said groove having one side edge extending substantially longitudinally of said base and another side edge extending generally longitudinally of but sloping relative to the longitudinal extent of said base with that portion of said groove adjacent said another side edge being an access area for a retaining pin and that portion of said groove adjacent said one side edge being a retaining area for said retaining pin.
2.
The assembly of claim 1 wherein said pin slopes and has an inner end fully within said runnerhead pin slot and an outer end substantially fully within said blast wheel vane groove.
3.
The assembly of claim 1 wherein said pin slot and said pin are both of a rectangular cross section and said pin slot is of a width materially greater than the width of said pin to permit pivoting of said pin in said pin slot from an insertion position to a blast wheel vane retaining position.
4.
The assembly of claim 3 wherein said pin slot is of a maximum depth greater than the thickness of said pin
