Patent number: 10041618Abstract: Connection assembly (1) for connecting a first and second pipe end (201, 301) of pipes (200, 300). The pipe ends exhibit outwardly facing pipe locking profiles (203, 303). Locking segments (101) are distributed about the second pipe end (301) and have a connected (103) and a movable portion (105) with segment locking profiles (103a, 105a). The movable portion (105) is pivotable between an inward locking position and an outward free position. Among the pairs of facing locking profiles, comprising a first pair including the segment locking profile (103a) and facing pipe locking profile (303) of the second pipe end, and a second pair, at least one pair exhibits an inclined face (S1, S2, S3) which is misaligned a misalignment distance (M1, M2, M3) with respect to the facing inclined face (P1, P2, P3) of the profile with which it engages.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2012Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: Aker Solutions ASInventors: Hy Nguyen, Kent Häll, Øystein Waerstad

Patent number: 8646976Abstract: An auto-centering structural bearing transfers vertical loads to a supporting structure while preventing transfer of lateral loads. In one embodiment, the structural bearing includes: parallel lower, middle, and upper bearing plates; a lower roller bed sandwiched between the lower and middle bearing plates and laterally displaceable in a first direction; an upper roller bed sandwiched between the middle and upper bearing plates and laterally displaceable in a second direction; lower centering means including springs compressible by lateral displacement of the middle bearing plate and the lower roller bed in the first direction; and upper centering means comprising springs compressible by lateral displacement of the upper bearing plate and the upper roller bed in the second direction. Upon removal of loads causing such lateral displacements, the springs will rebound to their unstressed states, thereby returning the displaced bearing plates and roller beds to their centered positions.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2011Date of Patent: February 11, 2014Assignee: Dreco Energy Services Ltd.Inventors: Randy Stoik, Van Hy Nguyen
