Abstract: An apparatus for applying torque about an operational axis of rotation includes a first torque device member. In addition, the apparatus includes an actuator support configured to move radially relative the operational axis and configured to be restricted from rotating in a plane oriented perpendicular to the operational axis. Further, the apparatus includes a first torque actuator pivotally coupled to the first torque device member and the actuator support. Still further, the apparatus includes a rod or a second torque actuator pivotally coupled to the first torque device member and the actuator support. Moreover, the apparatus includes a second torque device member coupled to the first torque device member and disposed about the operational axis of rotation. The actuator support is pivotally coupled to the second torque device member and is configured to pivot about a first pivot axis towards and away from the operational axis of rotation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device for centralizing an elongated body, such as a pipe, in the opening of a mousehole machine along the machine's center axis. The device includes two centralizing bows supported within the opening and adapted for rotation about a common, mainly horizontal axis of rotation that extends across the opening of the mousehole machine, the bows being located on radially-opposite sides of the axis of rotation. Upon rotation of the bows, the pipe is moved by contact with a first of the bows toward the center axis until the second of the bows contacts the pipe.
