ABSTRACT:
A game puck including a puck body having a plurality of throughbores radially disposed therein, each receiving a diagonally split glide pin. The glide pins each have heads which protrude from each face of the puck. Each pin has a diagonally split shank defining a plurality of mating teeth and a predetermined total shank diameter when joined. Each component has an inclined toothed or serrated surface which mates with a like component, each component having a tip diameter which is substantially less than one-half of the diameter of the total shank diameter. Thus when a pair of pin components are abutted at the tip, a reduced diameter is defined which approximates two thirds or less of the total shank diameter. This diameter permits insertion of a pin component into each mouth of a puck throughbore and joinder of the pin in a manner which, first, as the tips abut, permit a large margin of space to avoid insertion damage at the mouth of the aperture, and, second, as the tips are driven by one another in opposing directions, cause the pin to reach a total shank diameter that not only matches the aperture diameter, but may actually slightly exceed the diameter of the aperture to the extent of micrometer tolerances.
