Drill Stem Guide And Wrench Apparatus
US Patent:
7665514, Feb 23, 2010
Filed:
Jan 11, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/652273
Inventors:
William N. Patterson - Montrose CO, US
International Classification:
E21B 19/18
US Classification:
166 7751, 166379, 81 5719
Abstract:
A drill stem centralizer and/or breakout wrench includes a frame with opposed hydraulic cylinder actuators mounted on the frame and engaged in with jaw support members for movement toward and away from each other for centralizing or breakout of drill stem sections. The hydraulic actuators are mounted on trunnions which are supported by bearing caps which may be indexed to change the spacing of the opposed actuators to accommodate a wide range of drill stem diameters or cross-sectional shapes. The jaw support members are provided with laterally spaced guide parts which are moveable in slots in the frame to guide the jaw support members for linear reciprocal movement in response to actuation by the hydraulic actuators. The frame may be mounted for limited rotation on a feed beam to effect drill stem breakout operations.
Hydraulic In-The-Hole Percussion Rock Drill
US Patent:
6464023, Oct 15, 2002
Filed:
Apr 3, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/826259
Inventors:
William N. Patterson - Montrose CO 81404
International Classification:
E21B 414
US Classification:
175 93, 175296, 173 13, 173 73
Abstract:
A hydraulic percussion drill includes a piston hammer disposed in a cylinder for reciprocating movement in response to pressure fluid acting continuously on one transverse face of the piston hammer and in response to valving of pressure fluid alternately to an opposed piston face of the piston hammer by a tubular sleeve valve disposed around the piston hammer. The drill includes a percussion bit configured to have a face portion disposed at an acute angle with respect to a plane normal to the bit and the drill central axis. Cooperating spiral splines on the bit and a bit chuck provide for directional drilling using a method which includes causing the bit to receive impact blows without rotating the cylinder housing to initiate a deviated drillhole.
Hydraulic In-The-Hole Percussion Rock Drill
US Patent:
6155361, Dec 5, 2000
Filed:
Jan 27, 1999
Appl. No.:
9/239141
Inventors:
William N. Patterson - Montrose CO
International Classification:
E21B 414
US Classification:
175296
Abstract:
A hydraulic reciprocating piston hammer percussion drill includes an elongated piston hammer having opposed reduced diameter shank portions and disposed in a cylinder for reciprocating movement in response to pressure fluid acting continuously on one transverse face of the piston hammer and in response to valving of pressure fluid alternately to an opposed piston face of the piston hammer by a tubular sleeve valve which is disposed in sleeved relationship around the piston hammer between a piston portion of the piston hammer and an impact blow receiving bit. The tubular sleeve valve is provided with ports which communicate with high pressure and fluid exhaust ports in the piston hammer to effect reciprocation of the sleeve valve and of the piston hammer to deliver repeated impact blows to the bit. The bit may be configured to have a major portion of a transverse face disposed at an acute angle with respect to a plane normal to the bit and drill axis to allow directional drilling when the bit receives impact blows without being rotated. Retractable or fixed stabilizer or guide shoe members may be mounted on the exterior of the drill cylinder to aid in centering the drill in the drillhole or allow lateral deflection of the drill to accomplish directional drilling.
In-The-Hole Percussion Rock Drill
US Patent:
5680904, Oct 28, 1997
Filed:
Nov 30, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/564916
Inventors:
William N. Patterson - Montrose CO
International Classification:
E21B 414
US Classification:
173 13
Abstract:
A hydraulic reciprocating percussion tool, particularly adapted for drilling applications, comprises an elongated cylinder, opposed fronthead and backhead members and a central bore in the cylinder for supporting a reciprocating piston hammer. The piston hammer has reduced diameter end portions which have respective tubular sleeve valves disposed in sleeved relationship thereon and engageable with valve retainer members on the reduced diameter portions for effecting movement of the valves with the piston hammer. The head members include tubular sleevelike stem portions which cooperate with the respective valves to valve pressure fluid to and from opposed chambers in the cylinder to effect repeated impact blow delivering strokes to a shank member disposed in a chuck connected to the fronthead. The sleeve valve disposed between the piston hammer and the fronthead operates to vent pressure fluid from the forward chamber and the sleeve valve disposed between the piston hammer and the backhead effects valving of pressure fluid to both opposed chambers in the drill. The provision of the opposed sleeve valves and a central passage in the hammer for conducting pressure fluid to the forward end of the drill provides for a reduced diameter cylinder for slim hole and in-the-hole drilling operations.

Internally Dampened Percussion Rock Drill
US Patent:
8028772, Oct 4, 2011
Filed:
Jan 19, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/689362
Inventors:
William N. Patterson - Montrose CO, US
Glenn R. Patterson - Montrose CO, US
Glenn R. Patterson - Montrose CO, US
International Classification:
E21B 10/00, E21B 1/00
US Classification:
175405, 173414, 173135, 173206
Abstract:
A percussion drill, and methods of using the same, including a shank in mechanical alignment with a piston-hammer and a valve in fluid communication with the piston-hammer. The percussion drill further includes an internal hydraulic dampening system for reducing the velocity of the piston-hammer when the shank is forward of a power position relative to the velocity of the piston-hammer when the shank is in a power position. Preferably, the internal hydraulic dampening system includes mechanical alignment of a portion of the piston-hammer with a port in fluid communication with the valve, operable to reduce fluid flow into an area surrounding the valve when the piston-hammer is forward of its position relative to its normal operation.
Rock Drill Feed Support
US Patent:
5050688, Sep 24, 1991
Filed:
Nov 21, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/440018
Inventors:
William N. Patterson - Montrose CO
International Classification:
E21C 506
US Classification:
173147
Abstract:
A rock drill feed support beam comprises longitudinal side plates and a base member which are formed of folded metal plate welded together to form a channel-like support beam with a substantially clear unobstructed space between the members for containing a plurality of pressure fluid hoses which are trained over a hose guide supported by the feed beam and also disposed generally between the side members in the space. A feed mechanism comprising an endless chain is disposed in the channel-like space and includes a support member connected to the hose guide and supporting spaced apart sprockets. One run of the chain is connected to the drill motor and the opposite run of the chain is anchored to the feed beam. A motor is drivably connected to the chain through one of the sprockets for advancing the drill motor at twice the rate of the hose guide and the feed support member.
