Patent ID: 8646534

Claim:
A containment fitting for capping a runaway deep undersea hydrocarbon well head comprising: a) a longitudinally directed cylindrical portion having at least one peripheral wall defining an inner and an outer diameter, and top and bottom ends; b) a truncated conical portion having a shape disposed adjacent the bottom end of the longitudinally directed cylindrical portion, the truncated conical portion having a convergent outer surface extending from an intersection of the at least one peripheral wall and the convergent outer surface, and converging toward a central aperture having an inner diameter at least one-half of the inner diameter of the longitudinally directed cylindrical portion; and c) a flange extending outwardly from the intersection of the at least one peripheral wall and the convergent outer surface and extending essentially perpendicularly from the outer surface of the at least one peripheral wall and being disposed completely around the at least one peripheral wall, wherein the flange further comprises a plurality of throughholes extending therethrough around a circumference of the flange; d) plural engagement members each comprising an enlarged head at one end and a wire extending in a direction away from the enlarged head, the wires having a bobbin; e) wherein the runaway deep undersea hydrocarbon well head has a second flange having a plurality of throughholes disposed around a circumference of the second flange; and f) wherein the plural engagement members are pulled to align the plurality of thoughholes of the flange and the plurality of throughholes of the second flange for attaching the flange to the second flange of the runaway deep undersea hydrocarbon well head.
