Abstract:
A flex pin includes a compressible member positioned between first and second rigid members configured to be installed in a tooth and shank assembly. The first rigid member includes a locking recess defined by a front wall, a locking major surface, and a rear portion including a back wall and back gradient. At least one of the first or second rigid members includes a bonding recess configured to receive a portion of the compressible member.

Claim (Index 11):
A method of forming a flex pin, the method comprising:\n forming a first rigid member, wherein the first rigid member comprises a first elongated body extending along a central axis of the flex pin from a first forward end to a first back end, wherein the first elongated body defines a first bonding surface and a locking recess, wherein the locking recess extends laterally along the first elongated body between the first forward end and the first back end, the locking recess comprising:\n a major surface, \n a forward portion comprising a forward wall adjacent to the first forward end, and \n a rear portion comprising a back wall extending from the major surface of the locking recess and a back gradient defining a slope that transitions from an end of the back wall to a first outer surface of the first rigid member, wherein the first forward end defines a first tapered tip; \n forming a second rigid member, wherein the second rigid member comprises a second elongated body extending along the central axis from a second forward end to a second back end, wherein the second elongated body defines a second outer surface and a second bonding surface, wherein the second forward end defines a second tapered tip; and positioning a compressible member between the first rigid member and the second rigid member, wherein positioning the compressible member comprises positioning a portion of the compressible member into a bonding recess defined by at least one of the first bonding surface or the second bonding surface, wherein the compressible member is connected to the first bonding surface and the second bonding surface.
