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 11):
The captive shear bolt assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the shear section defines a tapered cross section with a first diameter at a lower surface of the upper head and a second diameter at an upper surface of the lower head, and a third diameter at a midpoint between the upper surface and the lower surface, and wherein the first diameter and the second diameter are greater than the third diameter, and wherein the third diameter is configured such that the shear section shears when the upper head is driven at the threshold torque.
