Portuguese term or phrase: bico de pato
"Pino fusível tipo bico de pato: esse dispositivo que vai acoplado no lado máquina, possui um parafuso que se rompe quando o torque ultrapassa um limite especificado"

The context is a description of PTO (Power take off) systems on tractors.

Tks in advance.

cotter shear pin
Explanation:
Weir has to do with water...the original is talking about a power take-off assembly on a tractor.
Pino fusível = Shear safety pin, which limits the amount of torque on the shaft. One illustration at:

Couldn't find a reference to duckbill in relation to a shear pin, but I believe that "bico de pato" would be a Portuguese way of translating a cotter pin, which is split and looks like a duckbill.

Cotter shear pin:
There were three maybe 5/8" pins on the cart that inserted into the fuselage of the 'CAT: one on the bottom and one on each side. A cotter shear pin was inserted and this kept the yowling target on the cart.
