  • Gear operated squeeze off tool
    Patent number: 5219146
    Abstract: A squeeze off tool for a flexible pipe includes a vice arrangement involving a first member below the pipe and a second member above the pipe, with a framework guiding the second member for movement toward and away from the first. A power screw has one end rotatably mounted in the second member but cannot move axially with respect to the second member, the power screw having external threads at a location remote from the one end. A locking device selectively restrains rotation of the power screw with respect to the second member.
