Patent ID: 6997958

Claim:
A conical coupling of a male member ( 10 ) and a female member ( 11 ), the male member ( 10 ) comprising a cone ( 12 ) fitted in a truncated conical portion ( 15 ) of a corresponding recess ( 14 ) formed in the female member ( 11 ), characterized in that the female member ( 11 ) is made of a material having a Young's modulus less than that of the material from which the male member ( 10 ) is made, and in that a surface ( 13 ) of the male member perpendicular to the axis (A 1 ) of the coupling is in contact with a surface ( 17 ) of the female member also perpendicular to the axis of the coupling such that the male and female members ( 10 , 11 ) are in axial abutment against each other.
