The first coupling mechanism also includes first tapered aperture through the other one of the first body and the link with the first pair of rollers located in the first tapered aperture. A second coupling mechanism connects the second body to the link and includes a second pair of conical rollers rotatably attached to either the second body or the link. The other one of the second body and the link has a second tapered aperture in which the second pair of rollers is located.
