  • Publication number: 20170254172
    Abstract: An electrical submersible pump (“ESP”) has a seal member that carries a packer. A retainer initially retains the packer in a fixed axial position with the seal member as the ESP is lowered into a well conduit. The retainer is releasable after the packer has been set in the conduit in response to a thermal growth axial force on the seal member, enabling relative axial movement between the seal member and the packer. The seal member has annular seal rings that extend over an axial length on the tubular member that is greater than an axial length of the bore of the packer.

  • Patent number: 6231432
    Abstract: A floor treatment machine with a torque limiter assembly between a rotating drive linkage and a rotating head for treating a floor surface. The torque limiter assembly includes engaged plates that disengage upon the application of a predetermined torque created when the head slows or stops rotating because of a floor obstruction. Upon the disengagement of the plates, the drive linkage continues to rotate and is less likely to sustain damage from the effect of the floor obstruction on the rotation of the head. The plates may engage each other through a configuration of cooperating teeth and notches. Alternatively, a rotating head can be provided with a built-in torque limiter assembly. This head can be attached to various floor treatment machines. The amount of predetermined torque that causes the plates to disengage may be adjusted as needed for varied floor conditions.
