Wire Rope Lubrication Device For A Crane

US Patent:
6550581, Apr 22, 2003
Filed:
Mar 26, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/106714
Inventors:
Paul John Berbakov - Norton OH
Steven Paul Clark - Forest VA
Afif Michel Labaki - New Orleans LA
Edward Stephen Robitz - North Canton OH
Assignee:
J. Ray McDermott, S.A. - Houston TX
International Classification:
F16N 1322
US Classification:
184 152, 184 153
Abstract:
Lubrication devices for lubricating wire rope on a crane. Spray nozzles may be permanently mounted to the multi-sheaved wire block assemblies. A controller and oil supply located near the base of the crane are used to control and deliver oil to the spray nozzles. A telescopic spray unit is used to lubricate the vertical stationary wire rope. A crawler that rides on the wire rope is used to lubricate the stationary wire rope between the anchor point and the first sheave of the block assembly. Improved clamshell units are used to lubricate the wire rope between the drums storing wire rope and the first sheave.

Deep Water Lowering Apparatus

US Patent:
5951227, Sep 14, 1999
Filed:
Jul 28, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/123922
Inventors:
Dennis Earl Calkins - Katy TX
Afif Michel Labaki - New Orleans LA
James Joseph Toups - Houma LA
Kevin Patrick Zaeringer - Metairie LA
Assignee:
J. Ray McDermott, S.A. - New Orleans LA
International Classification:
B63B 2708
US Classification:
4141417
Abstract:
A deep water lowering apparatus that utilizes dual davit structures mounted on a barge. Each davit structure has a pulling wire rope line spooled on a storage winch. Each pulling line is reeved onto a traction winch and through upper and lower sheaves on the davit structure. Corresponding ends of each pulling line are connected together on an equalizer beam. An adaptor box is suspended from a spreader bar provided with a dog leg center portion for effecting the load transfer from the crane. The lowering tool that supports the load is directly received in the adaptor box and transfers the load to the lowering apparatus without the need for rigging work.
