Patent ID: 8522412

Claim:
A system, comprising: an extraction tool having: an elongated base member having first and second ends, a drill bit removably attachable to a socket in the first end, the elongated base member having a threaded portion disposed proximate the first end, the second end adapted to be removably connected to a load bearing coupling; and an extraction tool lifting apparatus having: the load bearing coupling removably connected to the extraction tool; a hydraulic cylinder assembly operatively connected at a first end to the load bearing coupling; a mounting bracket operatively connected to a second end of the hydraulic cylinder assembly; three legs, each leg operatively connected at a first end to the mounting bracket; the second end of the hydraulic cylinder assembly having two vertical mounting lobes, spaced laterally apart, each with an aperture, the apertures being coaxial; an end-truncated triangular shaped base member having two elongated apertures for receiving the two mounting lobes of the hydraulic cylinder assembly, the mounting lobes extending through the elongated apertures when assembled, and three vertical support members attached to the end-truncated triangular shaped base member at about 120 degrees apart with respect to each other; one of the three vertical support members having an aperture adapted to be collinear with the apertures of the two mounting lobes of the hydraulic cylinder assembly and fitting within the elongated apertures of the end-truncated triangular shaped base member; whereby a pin is configured to be extended through the apertures of each of the two mounting lobes and the vertical support member to removably attach the mounting bracket to the hydraulic cylinder assembly; whereby the extraction tool lifting apparatus is configured to be removably connected to said extraction tool for removal of an object embedded within a confinement; and further whereby the extraction tool lifting apparatus is configured to be disassembled when not in use.
