Abstract: An electrical floor box providing connections to one or more in-floor service distribution systems includes lower and upper portions defining a hollow interior and a plurality of wiring compartments and conduction tunnels interconnecting the wiring compartments. The lower portion includes a base and a plurality of side walls extending upwardly from the base. The upper portion is slidably connectable to the lower portion forming the hollow interior and the wiring compartments which extend outwardly from, and open to, the hollow interior. The upper portion also includes a top opening which provides access to the hollow interior.

Abstract: A non-metallic floor box for use in electrical in-floor power and communication distribution systems includes a plurality of sets of vertically aligned indexing teeth formed in the interior of the housing side wall. An adapter ring is sized for insertion into the housing interior for supporting an activation kit above the housing interior compartment. The adapter ring has flanges extending from its periphery which are positioned to reciprocally mate with the vertical rows of teeth when the adapter ring is inserted into the housing interior compartment. The flanges and teeth are constructed to permit the ring to be inserted into the housing but to restrict its removal from the housing after its insertion therein. An activation cover is securable to the top of the adapter ring and extends beyond the perimeter of the side wall to limit the distance the adapter ring can be inserted into the housing.

Abstract: A non-metallic floor box for use in electrical in-floor power and communication distribution systems for office buildings and the like is disclosed. One embodiment of the floor box includes a closed housing having a base, a top and vertically extending side walls defining an interior volume. The disclosed floor box prevents concrete from entering the housing during pouring and setting of the concrete floor, and is adapted to be cut off substantially flush with and parallel to the concrete floor in which it is set. The floor box housing includes gradient markings disposed on at least one of its side walls to indicate the interior volume of the housing and/or the depth of the concrete floor.

Abstract: A wellhead protection system is disclosed including a wear bushing and retrieving tool. The wear bushing is supported in the wellhead and defines an enlarged upper portion for receiving the retrieving tool. The retrieving tool carries at least one retractable lug member for locking engagement with the wear bushing.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for performing operations in a well near the surface of which is a blowout preventer stack. The apparatus includes a bell nipple assembly extending upwardly from the blowout preventer stack and a lubricator assembly for central disposition within the bell nipple assembly. The bell nipple assembly includes a flange member for attachment to the blowout preventer stack having locking pins radially movable between retracted positions and extended positions in which the pins penetrate the flange bore. The lubricator assembly includes a tubular mandrel which may be lowered and locked in the bore of the bell nipple flange member in nonsealing engagement therewith by the locking pins thereof. At least one flow passage through the body of the mandrel assures that no pressure seal is established in the annular spaces between the bell nipple assembly and the lubricating assembly.

Abstract: A cementing tool assembly comprises a float collar, a cementing plug, and a wiper plug having interconnecting locking ends. The cementing tool assembly is non rotatable in the casing and includes internal frangible cutters which are breakable in compression to aid the shredding of the cementing tool assembly upon completion of the cementing operation.
