Abstract
A break-away coupling is formed of metal and has a central axis and a necked-down central region formed by two inverted truncated cones each having larger and smaller bases. The cones are joined at the smaller bases by a narrowed transition region having an exterior surface formed by a curved surface of revolution having an inflection point of minimum diameter substantially midway of the coupling along the axis. The cones each define an angle θand θ, respectively, at each of the larger bases, wherein both θand θare selected to be within the range of 20°-40° and, preferably within the range of 30°-37°.
