What's claim is:
I. A coupling for sucker rods or pll
2dis, comprising a member having a longi-
dinCl bore and having on the inner hi b'
t. i ert, e series of spaced circunscrim ag
ogs providing co fn micatitig longitudinal
andt tran' seise lots, another member adapt-
=. to enter said bore and provided ith
series of peripheral spaced ciruemtscribing
lugs slid'able first into the longitudinal slots
and then into the transi'-se slots sleeve
an the second member' t.o a1but the first m
her and conform thereto said sleeve lievi ul"
