Zusammenfassung:	The disclosure is directed to a coupling assembly which serves to connect a pipelaying stinger to a pipelaying vessel and is of the type wherein laterally spaced, disconnectable joints interconnect the stinger and vessel. The spaced joints are each comprised of a tapered male member and a mating female member, normally a pin and receptacle, and are preferably axially aligned to form a hinge which permits the stinger to rotate about a horizontal axis. When the two spaced joints are both engaged the stinger is prevented from rotating in a non-axial manner. However, when one joint is disengaged, the other will disengage as the male and female members rotate about their rotational point of contact.
