Definitions

  • the device of the instant invention is a safety tool for removing thread protectors while handling casing, for example, oil field casing, as the casing is being installed. It is a safety device because it allows the user to handle the moving end of a long length of casing and align that end with the casing that is already installed. It removes thread protectors safely and rapidly and it handles casing when boxing the joint thus keeping hands and body safe from pinches and amputations when the two pieces of pipe are being joined.

  • the cylindrical housing has a first end and a second end, each of the first end and second end are larger in diameter than the diameter of the cylindrical housing.
  • Each of the one-half clam shell configurations has fixedly attached thereto, near an edge, one-half of a hinge mechanism.
  • Each of the one-half clam shell configuration has a gripping handle fixedly attached to it near the edge opposite the handle, the gripping handles being closely adjacent to each other.

In operation, the tabs 9 and 10 are rotatably connected by a pin 11 also shown in Figure 2.
  • tab hinges 6 and 6' can have any arrangement on the surface of the housing 1, but the best arrangement seems to be two inside tabs and two outside tabs as show in Figure 2.
  • the hinges are door hinges and are generally used on cupboards, household doors, and the like. They are welded onto the outside surface 8 of the housing 1 just as are the tab hinges 6 and 6' .

  • the extension feature is highly desirable in the device 1 because it helps to remove the protective covering on the threads of oil casing without slipping down over the protective covering which sometimes occurs with straight sided devices, or does not slip between the thread protector and the piece of casing, thus reducing the potential for threads to be damaged, as was found during testing of the inventive device herein.

  • the worker Prior to engaging the moving casing with the in-place casing, the worker slidably draws the device of this invention rapidly down towards the protecting cover on the casing, and thereby is able to remove the covering from the threads. The worker then gently maneuvers the clean threaded end of the casing over to and unto the in-place casing to bring the threads in alignment.
  • the safety tool is removed, and a power tong is then attached to the new casing and the device of this invention is removed and the power tong drives the threaded pieces together.
  • the worker is not subjected to wildly moving casing and the device works as a safety device.
  • the device of this invention generally weighs less than 20 pounds and is therefore easily handled by a workman. Further, it should be obvious that the diameter of the housing of this
  • the invention is slightly larger than the casing on which it is to be used such that it will tentatively grip the casing, but will be able, when necessary, to slide down the casing and remove the thread protector.
  • the device of this invention is generally manufactured from metal, such as steel or iron, or it can be manufactured from hard plastic.
  • Hard plastic is any plastic that can remove the thread protector from the casing without damaging the hard plastic.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un outil de sécurité qui retire des protecteurs de filetage du tubage et manipule le tubage tout en se trouvant sur un plancher de forage, par exemple un tubage de champ pétrolifère, lorsque le tubage est installé. Il s'agit d'un dispositif de sécurité, car il permet à l'utilisateur de manipuler l'extrémité mobile d'une grande longueur de tubage et d'aligner cette extrémité avec le tubage auquel elle est vissée.
