Abstract:
A captive shear bolt assembly includes a bolt and a shear coupling. The bolt may have a head, an extension, and a shank. The shear coupling may be configured to be received by the extension. The shear coupling may be configured to receive the extension via an orifice in the shear coupling. The shear coupling may be configured to shear when an upper head of the shear coupling is driven at a threshold torque. When the shear coupling has sheared, the extension may be configured to captively secure the upper head to the bolt. The captive shear bolt assembly may be used in a tap connector for electrically connecting a main conductor to a tap conductor.

Claim (Index 5):
A captive shear bolt assembly, comprising:\n a bolt with a head, a shank extending from a bottom surface of the head, and an extension extending from a top surface of the head, wherein the extension includes a first cavity extending therein; and a shear coupling with an upper head, a lower head, and a shear section, wherein the shear coupling defines an orifice therethrough, and wherein the shear coupling is configured to receive the extension and the head of the bolt, wherein the shear section is configured to shear when the upper head is driven at a threshold torque, and wherein the extension is configured to captively secure the upper head to the bolt when the shear section has sheared.
