Abstract
A connection assembly enabling torque transfer between coaxially-aligned components includes: an upper component carrying an upper spline; a lower component threadedly engageable with the upper component and carrying a lower spline: a coupling ring having first and second splines; and means for axially moving the coupling ring, relative to the upper and lower components, between a free position in which the coupling ring is freely rotatable relative to the connected upper and lower components, and a seated position in which the coupling ring is rotationally coupled to the upper component by engagement of the first coupling ring spline with the upper spline, and rotationally coupled to the lower component by engagement of the second coupling ring spline with the lower spline. The upper and lower splines have different numbers of evenly-spaced spline ridges, which on at least one of the upper spline and the lower spline are axially tapered.
