Abstract: A connection assembly for connecting a first member to a second member, such as a wear strip to a portion of an excavating device, is described. The second member has a protruding boss and the first member has a recess complementary in shape to the protruding boss. The first member has an associated first bearing surface and the second member has an associated second bearing surface. The first and second bearing surfaces are, in use, opposed and separated by a tapered gap. The connection assembly further includes a wedge-shaped locking member. The wedge-shaped locking member is sized to locate within the tapered gap and is provided with a driving means to permit tightening or loosening of the locking member within the tapered gap.
