Patent number: 11136833Abstract: A float equipment attachment assembly includes a float equipment for mounting to a tubing string. The float equipment includes a tubular body and a plurality of gripping arms extending longitudinally away from the tubular body arranged to deflect radially inwards. An attachment sleeve has an inner diameter tapered to form a conical abutment portion. The attachment sleeve and float equipment are arranged axially around the tubing string and are pressed together. The gripping arms are deflected radially inward by the conical abutment portion to grip the tubing string to mount the float equipment to the tubing string.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2018Date of Patent: October 5, 2021Assignee: Ace Oil ToolsInventor: Ken Erik Steine

Patent number: 10851600Abstract: A method of connecting an end part of a pipe attachment device to a part of a function element, includes: aligning longitudinal axes of a substantially tubular end part of a pipe attachment device and a substantially tubular part of a function element; applying a force that moves the end part of the pipe attachment device relatively towards the part of the function element along the longitudinal axis. Contact between the end part of the pipe attachment device and the part of the function element causes each of a plurality of fingers on the end part to elastically deflect. Applying the force so that each of the plurality of fingers on the end part returns from their deflected position and is retained in one or more holes in the part of the function element.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2018Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Ace Oil Tools ASInventors: Ken Erik Steine, Lasse Hetland, Morten Klausen
