  • Patent number: 4660910
    Abstract: In the representative embodiment of the new and improved apparatus disclosed herein, a multi-section MWD tool is cooperatively arranged to include a plurality of separable tool bodies respectively carrying a pressure-tight enclosure with one or more electrical means and adapted to be tandemly coupled together to assemble a particular MWD tool. Mating electrical connectors connected to the electrical means are cooperatively supported in the threaded end portions of each tool body by mounting means uniquely arranged for selective manual adjustment to ensure reliable electrical connection to the connector in the next-adjacent tool body as well as to prevent the male threaded end portion of the adjacent tool body from damaging the connector in the female threaded end portion of the first tool body as the two bodies are being coupled together.
