Load Ring For Lifting By Elevator, Of Casing Having No Upset
US Patent:
8348320, Jan 8, 2013
Filed:
Apr 14, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/082736
Inventors:
Keith T. Lutgring - Lafayette LA, US

International Classification:
B66C 1/10, B65D 59/06
US Classification:
2941192, 138 96 T
Abstract:
Methods for gripping an oilfield tubular include engaging a band with a ring member to form a load ring. The band has an arcuate component with a gap separating first and second ends, an interior surface, and an inclined exterior surface. The ring member has an interior surface with a groove therein. The inclined exterior surface of the band is associated with the groove of the interior surface to form the load ring. The load ring can be engaged with an oilfield tubular, and a force can be applied such that the groove of the ring member engages the inclined exterior surface of the band for securing the load ring to the oilfield tubular.

International Classification:
B65D 59/06
US Classification:
138 96T, 2941192
Abstract:
A cylindrical ring sized to slide over the box end of an oilfield tubular having a given external diameter, has a shoulder at one its ends and a sidewall along its length. The sidewall has a circumferential groove about its interior surface housing a band which can be made tight against the exterior surface of the oilfield tubular by a latch, accessible through a slot in the sidewall, and which becomes even tighter if the tubular attempts to escape from the band. In a first orientation, the cylindrical ring is used as a load ring. By turning the cylindrical ring upside down, the cylindrical ring is used as a thread protector for the pin end of the tubular.
