Abstract: A machine for destructing glass medicine vials comprises a housing having a cover with glass vial input tubes mounted thereon such that the tubes pass through a top surface of the cover. Located within the housing is a motor-driven rotor on which is mounted at least one pair of generally circular disks, where the disks have insets formed therein defining a pocket for receiving a portion of a vial therein. The rotor is positioned such that a vial dropped down the vial inlet tube will come to rest on the periphery of the pair of disks with a portion of the vial still disposed in the tube. The vial will ultimately drop into their insets as the rotor turns. A tooth formed in the periphery of the insets fractures the vial and the shards fall through an open bottom of the housing.

Abstract: A retrievable pig apparatus having a substantially cylindrical body portion, the body portion having a central flow bore therethrough, and secured to coiled tubing, including a central fluid flow bore in fluid communication with the interior bore of the coiled tubing; a plurality of flow bores spaced equally apart within the body, with the flow bores allowing fluid flow to be injected at a certain predetermined pressure through the flow bores, so as to be emitted on the front end of the pig for defining a high pressure spray of fluid or the like material to break up blockages of debris in the pipeline, such as paraffin or the like; the debris retrieved through the central bore back into the coiled tubing to be stored in a tank or the like on the surface.
