Abstract: A tube shaped sleeve apparatus which includes two cylindrical components adapted to be connected to each other and sections of tubing string by cooperating threads formed at the ends thereof. At spaced intervals in the periphery of the sleeve are a plurality of radial holes or ports and formed in the sleeve bore at opposite ends thereof are stops shoulders. Adapted to be inserted in slidable relation inside the bore of the tubing sleeve is a mandrel which includes a plurality of resilient O-rings or gaskets that are secured in the periphery of the mandrel inside annular grooves formed therein. Formed in the bore of the mandrel and at opposite ends thereof are a second set of stop shoulders. When positioned opposite the holes in the sleeve, the periphery of the mandrel and the gaskets form a tight seal with the wall of the sleeve bore to prevent fluids and gases from the well bore from entering and escaping the tubing sleeve.

Abstract: The present invention in its preferred embodiment comprises a combination anchor including a first tubular member having a circular shoulder formed around the perimeter of its bore. Adapted to be releasably inserted inside the tubular member is a bullplug comprising a cylindrical shaped plug member with a rounded bottom section and a seat ring adapted to be threadedly connected to the top section of the plug member. Adapted to be connected to the seat ring and plug member by means of cooperating threads is a mandrel. A conical member having a plurality of compressible legs depending therefrom is insertable over the mandrel and secured thereon by a cap member which fits over the conical member and may be attached thereto by means of cooperating threads. Threadedly connected to the top of the cap and extending upwardly into the bore of the tubing string is a rod, which is more commonly known in the trade as a rod sub. At the end of this rod sub is the male counterpart of a locking device known as a J-latch pin.
