ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a rod connector assembly for removably securing a control rod to a spider structure. The rod connector assembly includes a tubular boss fixedly secured to the spider structure and a mounting assembly which includes a receiving structure and a biasing structure. The assembly also includes a cap having a cavity formed therein, the biasing structure including a driver and disposed in the cavity such that the driver extends outwardly from the cavity and into the boss, and wherein the cap is secured to the boss. When the control rod is in a prescribed position with respect to the boss, the mounting assembly is operative to resist rotation of the control rod upon application to the control rod of an amount of torque less than a predetermined amount of torque.
