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 3):
The captive shear bolt assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising a screw and a shear coupling having an upper head, a lower head, and the shear section, and wherein a first portion of the cavity is configured to receive the lower head of the shear coupling and the screw and a second portion of the cavity extends into the shank and is configured to receive the screw, and wherein the shear section is configured to shear when the upper head is driven at the threshold torque, and wherein the screw is configured to captively secure the upper head to the bolt when the shear section has sheared.
