Patent number: 10801272Abstract: A tubular gripping device comprising an outer body, a self-locking mechanism, and a retainer member. The outer body defines an inner tubular cavity having a first inner diameter, a second inner diameter, a first load shoulder, and a second load shoulder. The first load shoulder tapers the first inner diameter down to second inner diameter at the second load shoulder. The second load shoulder acts as a stop at the second inner diameter. The self-locking is mechanism positioned substantially co-axially within the tubular cavity of the outer body and proximate the first inner diameter, the self-locking mechanism having a spring expanded and a spring released position. The retainer member has a first retainer position radially restraining the self-locking mechanism in the spring expanded position and a second retainer position allowing the self-locking mechanism to contract to the spring released position to grip an outer surface of a tubular member.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2017Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: Centergenics, LLCInventors: Napoleon Arizmendi, Richard P Rubbo

Patent number: 9249633Abstract: A casing centralizer which has an annular body having a substantially cylindrical bore extending longitudinally therethrough. The annular body is divided along its axis into two inter-connectable sections, each of which includes fins extending radially therefrom. Each inter-connectable section also includes at least one latch and at least one alignment guide, as well as at least one latch cavity configured for matingly receiving and interlocking with the at least one latch of the other inter-connectable section, and at least one alignment guide cavity configured for matingly receiving and interlocking with the at least one alignment guide of the opposing inter-connectable section. The two inter-connectable sections may then be clamped about a drill pipe for maintaining a centralized position of the drill pipe in a downhole casing.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2012Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: Chevron U.S.A. Inc.Inventor: Napoleon Arizmendi
