Abstract:
A cable release system for permitting detachment of a drilling cable from a drill string. The cable release system has a swivel body, a bearing assembly, one or more locking elements, and a release sleeve assembly. The swivel body is coupled to a drilling cable. The bearing assembly has a receptacle body that receives a portion of the swivel body and defines openings that receive a portion of corresponding locking elements. The bearing assembly has an outer sleeve that circumferentially surrounds the receptacle body and has a variable inner diameter such that axial movement of outer sleeve controls the radial position of the locking elements relative to the swivel body. The release sleeve assembly can be moved in a distal direction to engage the outer sleeve of the bearing assembly to move the outer sleeve to an axial position in which the swivel body and drilling cable are detachable from the remainder of the drill string.

Claim (Index 10):
The cable release system of  claim 1 , wherein the release sleeve assembly comprises:\n a thimble body having a proximal end portion, an opposed distal end portion, and a central bore extending through the proximal and distal end portions, the distal end portion defining a groove, wherein the central bore of the thimble body is configured to receive a portion of a drilling cable; a release sleeve having a proximal end, an opposed distal end, and a wall extending between the proximal and distal ends, the wall of the release sleeve defining a central bore of the release sleeve and an axial slit and a side opening positioned in communication with the central bore of the release sleeve, the axial slit extending from the distal end of the release sleeve to the side opening, the side opening extending from the axial slit to the proximal end of the release sleeve, wherein the axial slit and the side opening of the release sleeve are configured to receive a portion of a cable, wherein the side opening of the release sleeve is configured to receive a portion of the distal end portion of the thimble body, wherein at least a portion of the wall of the release sleeve that defines the side opening is configured for complementary engagement with the groove of the distal end portion of the thimble body, and wherein the axial slit and side opening of the release sleeve are configured to permit engagement between the release sleeve and the distal end portion of the thimble body after a cable is positioned through the central bore of the thimble body.
