Assignee:
J. Ray McDermott, S.A. - Housto TX
International Classification:
F16L 100
US Classification:
405158, 405173
Abstract:
A pipeline recovery tool is made from steel plates welded together instead of forging and machining. The rigged-up tool is lowered over the pipeline and engaged with the pipeline such that a fixed claw engages the collar on the pipeline. An ROV is used to cause a movable dog on the tool to engage the collar and then lock the fixed claw in position. Rigging on the fixed claw side of the tool is released. The pipeline is then lifted to the surface by a lift arm on the first end of the tool.
Passive Capture Slip-Proof Chain Handling Hook

International Classification:
B66C 1/34
US Classification:
294 821, 294 8224
Abstract:
A chain hook with no moving parts that is capable of passively capturing and supporting both sides of a given chain link. The hook is provided with dual support surfaces that support the link and prevent disengagement of the hook while under load. A horn between the support surfaces protrudes through the hooked link and contacts the adjacent link on the lighter loaded side of the hook. This prevents running of the chain that could result from differential loading on either side of the hooked chain link. The hook surfaces are designed to inhibit disengagement under low load conditions and to facilitate unassisted disengagement of the hook under no-load conditions.
