Patent ID: 7681341

Claim:
Ground engaging apparatus comprising: a connector pin assembly for captively retaining a wear member on a support member onto which the wear member is telescoped, the support member having a connector opening extending therethrough, said connector pin assembly including: a tubular sleeve member longitudinally insertable into the connector opening, said sleeve member having an interior surface portion and being configured to be rotationally locked in said connector opening; first and second longitudinal pin sections, at least one of which having a surface portion engageable with said interior surface portion of said sleeve member, said pin sections having inner end portions longitudinally insertable into opposite ends of said sleeve member in a manner positioning outer end portions of said pin sections externally of said opposite ends of said sleeve member, said outer end portions having laterally outwardly projecting eccentric configurations, said inner end portions of said pin sections being interlockable with one another, in response to insertion into said sleeve member, in a manner preventing relative rotation between said pin sections and causing said eccentric outer end portions of said pin sections to have identical rotational orientations relative to said sleeve member; and tightening structure for selectively tightening and loosening the engagement between said surface portions of said sleeve member and said at least one pin section to respectively prevent and permit conjoint rotation of the interlocked pin sections relative to said sleeve member.
