Claim Text:
1. A ground engaging tip comprising: a ground engaging portion; and a coupling portion in opposing relationship to the ground engaging portion, the coupling portion including a side wall and an interlock tab, the side wall defining a retention orifice therethrough and at least partially defining a coupler pocket, the interlock tab having a base end and a proximal end, the base end of the interlock tab contiguous with the side wall, and the interlock tab extending from the base end to the proximal end in a direction substantially away from the ground engaging portion, and having opposing concave portions with a first radius proximate the base end, opposing planar contact surface portions substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis and adjacent the concave portions, opposing convex transition portions with a second radius and adjacent the planar portions, and a convex terminal edge portion with a third radius adjacent both opposing convex transition portions; wherein the ground engaging portion and the coupling portion extend along the longitudinal axis, the retention orifice has a center, and a ratio of a longitudinal distance, measured along the longitudinal axis, between the center of the retention orifice and the proximal end of the interlock tab to a radius of curvature of the curved terminal edge of the interlock tab is about 2:1 or more.
