Claim 11:
12. A centralizer assembly for use in a wellbore, the centralizer comprising:
a primary tubular member formed about a centralizer axis, the primary tubular member having a first end and a second end and a tubular wall extending between the first and second ends, the tubular wall having an inner surface and an outer surface;
three or more centralizer strip assemblies extending along at least a portion of the primary tubular member and spaced apart from one another about a circumference of the primary tubular member, wherein each centralizer strip assembly of the three or more centralizer strip assemblies has a first end and a second end, and an outer portion adjacent the outer surface of the tubular wall and an inner portion adjacent the inner surface of the tubular wall so that the inner portion and outer portion of each centralizer strip assembly of the three or more centralizer strip assemblies oppose one another forming two seats, one at each of the first end and the second end of the each centralizer strip assembly of the three or more centralizer strip assemblies;
three or more elongated first connecting rod assemblies, each first elongated connecting rod assembly of the three or more elongated connecting rod assemblies having a first end and a second end and extending an axis parallel with the centralizer axis, where the first end of each first elongated connecting rod assembly of the three or more elongated first connecting rod assemblies is individually engaged with a first seat of each of the two seats, the first seat of each of the two seats being at the first end of each centralizer strip assembly of the three or more centralizer strip assemblies; and
three or more elongated second connecting rod assemblies, each elongated second connecting rod assembly of the three or more elongated second connecting rod assemblies having a first end and a second end and extending an axis parallel with the centralizer axis, wherein the second end of each elongated second connecting rod assembly of the three or more elongated second connecting rod assemblies is individually engaged with a second seat of each of the two seats, the second seat of each of the two seats being at the second end of each centralizer strip assembly of the three or more centralizer strip assemblies.
