• the resilient coupling means further comprises a neck portion securing ring positioned about the neck projection and over the resilient conical tube, a head portion securing ring positioned about the head projection and over the resilient conical tube;
• and a plurality of fasteners directed through the rings and into the projections;
• and
• the resilient conical tube is shaped so as to define a plurality of relief slots directed therethrough, the relief slots are directed through the resilient conical tube and oriented such that all relief slots reside within a common plane.
