Abstract:
A connection assembly for automated lifting and positioning of a chiksan or other fluid conduit in proximity to a fluid inlet of a device such as, for example, a cement or hydraulic fracturing head. Once a chiksan or other flow line is positioned in a desired location, a secure connection is made between the outlet of the chiksan or other fluid conduit and the fluid inlet including, without limitation, when the device is positioned at an elevated location above a rig floor.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus for connecting a distal end of a fluid conduit to a fluid inlet, wherein said apparatus and said fluid inlet are positioned at an elevated location in a drilling rig derrick, comprising:\n a) a stinger member operationally attached to said distal end of said fluid conduit and having at least one outlet port; b) a winch assembly comprising a winch drum, wherein said winch drum is rotatably disposed at said elevated location within said drilling rig derrick; c) an elongated member having a first end, a second end and a length, wherein said first end is operationally attached to said winch drum and said second end is operationally attached to said stinger member; d) an inlet receptacle having a bore adapted to receive at least a portion of said stinger member while said stinger is lifted by said winch assembly, wherein said bore is in fluid communication with said fluid inlet; and e) a valve member adapted to shift between a first position wherein said least one outlet port of said stinger member is closed, and a second position wherein said at least one port of said stinger member is open, and wherein said valve member remains in said first position unless said stinger member is at least partially received in said bore of said receptacle.
