Title: Tool joint stripping stationary blowout preventer with a retrievable packing insert
IPC: F16K7/07
Filed: 1970-08-06
Abstract: 1,273,483. Blowout preventers. REGAN FORGE & ENG. CO. 6 Aug., 1970 [23 Oct., 1969], No. 38065/70. Heading E1F. A blowout preventer apparatus comprises a radially compressible annular packing mounted in a chamber, and an annular rubber-like packing insert adapted to be positioned within the packing so that when the packing is compressed the insert seals about a tool passed through the chamber. The apparatus shown has an annular packing 33, 37 mounted in a chamber 30, and an insert 46 which has a rigid ring 48 located by shoulder 51 and a rigid ring 47 whose circumferential groove 55 is engaged by latch dog 59 to locate the insert. Packing 33, 37 is compressed by hydraulic fluid in housing 30 to seal insert 46 about tool 17. The passage of a tool joint 18 forces open insert 46 and fluid is forced from chamber 30 into accumulator 75. When the joint has passed through the insert the accumulator forces the fluid back into the chamber to re-seal the insert about the tool. The unit is retrieved by releasing the hydraulic pressure, operating a hydraulic actuator to withdraw dog 59, and lifting the insert with a tool which has dogs extending beneath ring 48.

Abstract: 1,024,349. Cable strippers. R. MANKOVITZ. Sept. 27, 1963 [Oct. 1, 1962; Feb. 14, 1963], No. 38119/63. Heading H2C. A cable stripper has a pair of handles 2, 6 pivoted together, one of which carries a cutting blade 8 and the other a member 3 in which are two grooves at right angles. The cable is first put in one groove, the blade closed on to it and the tool rotated so that a circular cut is made in the insulation. Next, the cable is put in the other groove and drawn past the blade so that the severed insulation is also split longitudinally facilitating its removal. In the arrangement shown, the blade is mounted on an eccentric cam rotatable by hexagon 13. The hexagon is provided with holes any one of which may engage a dowel pin to fix a different blade position. In a further arrangement (Figs. 1-3, not shown), the blade is held by clamping screws which pass through longitudinal slots while in a still further arrangement (Figs. 5-7, not shown) the blade consists of a rotatable disc with three cutting projections of different lengths, any of which may be moved into the cutting position where it is locked because the disc is drawn by a spring into engagement with a dowel pin.

Abstract: 343,644. Snap-action switches. HOPE, V., Upton Hall, Macclesfield, Cheshire. Dec. 13, 1929, No. 38189. [Class 38 (v).] Arc-rupturing devices.-In A.C. switches in which the opening movement of the contacts is made slowly so that a zero value of current will be passed before the contacts are far apart, the contactcarrying shaft has a spring biasing the contacts closed, and the contacts are opened by a cam or the like on the handle spindle which is fitted with a dead-centre spring to give a final rapid movement in both the opening and the closing directions. The arm or arms F carrying the contact-members f<1> are mounted on a shaft D which is normally urged by a spring S into the circuit-making position and so that an arm E thereon bears against a cam K. The latter is mounted on the shaft H of the operating handle and has a pin k<2>, to which one end of a deadcentre spring k<3> is secured, and an arm k<1> which engages a pivoted arm p<1> carrying an arcing-barrier P. During the initial opening movement of the handle, the part of the cam between the radii x<1>, x<2> separates the contacts about one-tenth of an inch and the part k<1> interposes the barrier P between them. Between the radii x<2>, x<3> is a period of rest in which no movement of the arms F occurs and the arc is quenched. The final movement between radii x<3>, x<4> is performed under the action of the spring k<3> when the long arm of the cam K engages the arm E and separates the contacts their full distance. Movement of the shaft H in the reverse direction causes a rapid closure under the combined action of the springs k<3>, S.
