  • Patent number: 9441760
    Abstract: A cart has a base; and at least two right-side protrusions, namely, a right-side sub-rail protrusion extending horizontally from the base; and a right-side super-rail protrusion extending horizontally from the base. The right-side sub-rail protrusion and right-side super-rail protrusion are adapted to straddle a substantially horizontal flange of a first rail and the first rail is one among the at least one rail. Further, the base has at least two left-side protrusions, namely, a left-side sub-rail protrusion extending in a direction opposite to the right-side sub-rail protrusion from the base; and a left-side super-rail protrusion extending in a direction opposite to the right-side super-rail protrusion from the base. Further, the left-side sub-rail protrusion and left-side super-rail protrusion are adapted to straddle a substantially horizontal flange of a second rail, and the second rail is one among the at least one rail. A vertical support extends upwards from the base.

  • Patent number: 9291012
    Abstract: A manifold directs the flow of drilling mud from a drilling rig. A longitudinal tubular body has a first end and a second end, such that the longitudinal tubular body is supported by at least two supports of a platform. The platform can support a monorail that is parallel to the longitudinal tubular body, so that it is five feet of the longitudinal tubular body. The longitudinal tubular body can have at least three side directed input ports so that the ports are adapted to receive a mud pipe for attachment. Each of the three side-directed input ports can face substantially towards and above the monorail to provide unobstructed lateral attachment of a mud pipe to the longitudinal tubular body.

  • Patent number: 8869961
    Abstract: Disclosed is a conduit cart for supporting conduits above at least one rail. The conduit cart has a base; and at least two right-side protrusions, namely, a right-side sub-rail protrusion extending horizontally from the base; and a right-side super-rail protrusion extending horizontally from the base. The right-side sub-rail protrusion and right-side super-rail protrusion are adapted to straddle a flange of a first rail and the first rail is one among the at least one rail. Further, the base has at least two left-side protrusions, namely, a left-side sub-rail protrusion extending in a direction opposite to the right-side sub-rail protrusion from the base; and a left-side super-rail protrusion extending to the right-side super-rail protrusion from the base.

  • Patent number: 8740258
    Abstract: A pipe having a cylindrical inner wall, a rig end, the rig end having an inner wall having an inside diameter and a remote end. The remote end further comprises a first hemispheric extension that extends from the remote end to at least an outer diameter. A second hemispheric extension connects a surface at an outer cylindrical surface to a pipe exterior wall, wherein the first hemispheric extension and second hemispheric extension form a partial sphere through which, a cavity defined by the inner wall extends.
