Abstract: An anchor ring assembly for anchoring to a mandrel includes an annular housing which defines a through bore to permit mounting on a mandrel. A plurality of slips are circumferentially arranged within the through bore of the housing, and a plurality of activator members extend from an external surface of the housing to engage the slips. The activator members are adjustable relative to the housing to extend the slips radially inwardly to engage and grip a mandrel.
