ABSTRACT:
A breakaway shaft assembly is disclosed which comprises a segmented tube and shaft member. The tube member and at least one of the shaft member segments are retained together for conjoint movement under axial loading until the shaft segments are interengaged. Additional axial loading and movement severs the attachment between the tube member and shaft segment allowing the tube member to telescope further until limited. At such limitation, the location of segmentation for each of the tube and shaft members is aligned permitting breakaway separation in response to still further axial loading.
