Abstract:
1. A ground engaging tip of a tooth assembly for a base edge of a ground engaging implement, wherein the tooth assembly includes an adapter configured for attachment to the base edge of the ground engaging implement and having a forwardly extending adapter nose, the ground engaging tip comprising: a rear edge; a top outer surface; a bottom outer surface, wherein the top outer surface and the bottom outer surface extend forward from the rear edge and converge at a front edge; oppositely disposed lateral outer surfaces extending downwardly from the top outer surface to the bottom outer surface, wherein the lateral outer surfaces are tapered so that a distance between the lateral outer surfaces decreases as the lateral outer surfaces extend downwardly from the top outer surface toward the bottom outer surface, and the distance is greater at an uppermost portion of the lateral outer surfaces than at a lowermost portion of the lateral outer surfaces; and an inner surface extending inwardly into the ground engaging tip from the rear edge and defining a nose cavity within the ground engaging tip having a complementary shape to the adapter nose of the adapter for receiving the adapter nose therein, wherein each of the lateral outer surfaces includes a projecting portion extending outwardly therefrom.
