Claim 17:
18. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the apparatus converts rotational motion into reciprocating linear motion for a muffler end cap spinner for securing a muffler end cap to a muffler shell;
the sliding member is a sliding arm constrained to reciprocate linearly over a stationary support block, the sliding arm having a sliding arm longitudinal axis;
the connecting member is a connecting rod coupled to the sliding arm at a first end of the connecting rod, the connecting rod having a connecting rod longitudinal axis;
the pin assembly is for coupling a second end of the connecting rod to the cam, the pin assembly being configured to reciprocate the sliding arm over the stationary support block as the cam rotates about the axis of rotation of the cam shaft, and
the apparatus further comprises a roller configured to engage the muffler end cap to secure the muffler end cap to the muffler shell, the roller being rotatably coupled to a roller arm, the roller arm being rigidly coupled to the connecting rod, parallel to the connecting rod and laterally spaced from the connecting rod.
