Abstract: An adjustable angle marker system for pipe elbow joints is disclosed, providing an efficient and precise means of determining and marking angles for cutting 90-degree elbow joints, particularly at non-standard angles, eliminating the need for reference tables and angle calculations. An adjustable angle gauge is used to measure a desired angle at which to cut an elbow joint to properly join two pipe sections. The desired angle is transferred to a marking platform using the adjustable angle gauge set at the measured angle. The elbow joint is placed on the marking platform so that the angle marked on the marking platform properly aligns with a corresponding cut location on the elbow joint, which is marked on the elbow joint using a pipe marking device aligning the marked angle and the cut location.

Abstract: An apparatus, and related methods, for automatically releasing sticks of various materials into oil and gas wells. The apparatus has an enclosed magazine which has several chambers for the sticks. The magazine rotates on a shaft when a sprocket on the shaft is engaged by a rod moving from an extended to a retracted position. The rod movement is actuated by a double acting cylinder which is powered by well gas. When rotated the magazine positions the next chamber above a bottom exit port which is aligned with the well, causing the stick to be released into the well. During the stick loading process, only a single valve need be opened to enable the sticks to be loaded into the stick chambers. The magazine is rotated by hand after each stick is loaded.
