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 1):
A cable release system comprising:\n a swivel body configured for coupling to a drilling cable and having a distal end portion, the distal end portion having an outer surface and defining at least one groove that is radially recessed relative to the outer surface; a bearing assembly having:\n a receptacle body having a wall with an outer surface, the wall having a proximal portion that has an inner surface that defines an interior cavity configured to receive at least a portion of the distal end portion of the swivel body; and \n an outer sleeve having a wall at least partially circumferentially surrounding the wall of the receptacle body, the wall of the outer sleeve having an inner surface that is radially spaced from the outer surface of the wall of the receptacle body; \n a plurality of locking elements positioned in engagement with the inner surface of the outer sleeve; and a release sleeve assembly that is axially moveable relative to a drilling axis, wherein, upon movement of the release sleeve assembly in a distal direction relative to the drilling axis, the release sleeve assembly is configured to engage the outer sleeve of the bearing assembly to effect distal movement of the outer sleeve relative to the drilling axis from a first axial position to a second axial position, and wherein distal movement of the outer sleeve of the bearing assembly from the first axial position to the second axial position effects radial movement of the plurality of locking elements from a retracted position in which the locking elements are received within the at least one groove of the distal end portion of the swivel body to an extended position in which the locking elements are disengaged from the outer surface of the distal end portion of the swivel body.
