mating of spline 170 with receptacle 180 and by securing tubing joint 100 with coupling collar 700 connection 1014 represents a contact connection a person of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that many types of connectors are available for assuring a proper electrical or optical connection between socket assembly 120 and plug assembly 160 and will be able to select the appropriate type a more preferable way to connect the conductors will be discussed in fig2 through 28 fig1 through fig2 illustrate a three spline embodiment the manufacture of the three spline embodiment is similar to the manufacture of the two spline embodiment likewise assembling a plurality of tubing sections using a three spline tubing joint is similar to assembling a plurality of tubing sections using a two spline tubing joint fig1 is an illustration of the alignment step for a three spline configuration in which coupling collar 700 is installed on plug assembly 160 fig1 illustrates the engaging step for the three spline configuration and fig2 illustrates the securing step for the three spline configuration fig2 a illustrates a three spline configuration of tubing joint 100 that further comprises conduits 1010 similar to fig1 a a further advantage of the present invention is that the splines depicted herein allow a plurality of casing sections to be connected together in multiple distinct orientations these distinct orientations can be described by the amount of rotation required for one casing section to connect with.
