  • Patent number: 4778359
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved connector assembly which is made of one-piece design and construction with two sections that can move relative to each other to thereby provide a connector assembly which can pivotally connect the adjoining end portions of an upper and lower string of sucker rods that are angularly disposed relative to one another within a tubing string of like angulation. Through use of the present invention one-piece connector assembly, the string of sucker rods can be inserted through various dog-leg sections in the well bore hole and further are able to absorb longitudinal forces which may be exerted on the sucker rod strings thereby permitting the sucker rod strings to reciprocate without being subjected to stress from numerous frictional forces.
