Abstract: Plural pipe-based well screen segments can be assembled more quickly and easily and with no chance of damage to the screen jacket by welding a boss ring to the center pipe of each segment intermediate the upper pipe end and the screen jacket and then using a slip to support the boss ring. The slip is designed to be supported by holes normally present in the master bushing of a rotary drilling table or platform and is of sufficient height that the screen sections can be joined without the operator having to bend over. A pair of relatively light weight, hinged cantilevered plates can be easily lifted to provide clearance for the screen jacket to be lowered through the table and are then moved to their horizontal position just before the boss ring portion of the screen is lowered so as to engage them. A vertical bar on the slip acts as a wrench stop to permit the upper end of the pipe to be held stationary as the succeeding segment of screen is threaded to it.

Abstract: A surface finishing apparatus for disks and the like characterized by an eccentric spindle of small diameter engaging the inner circumference of a disk; a drive mechanism engaging the outer circumference of the disk to rotate the disk around an axis parallel to but not coaxial with the spindle; and a finishing mechanism which extends fully between the inner circumference and the outer circumference of the disk. Because the diameter of the spindle is less than the diameter of the center aperture formed by the inner circumference of the disk, a gap is formed. The finishing mechanism has a first edge disposed within the gap and has a second edge beyond the outer circumference of the disk. Thus, a full surface finish is provided by a stationary finishing mechanism. The finishing mechanism traverses a segment of the disk that is parallel to a radius of the disk.

Abstract: The pliers form a cable wire testing tool. At the front end of a working portion (11a), a blade-type piercing member (18) is adapted to leave, in closed condition of the pliers, a free space relative to a surface of the other leg (12) serving as an abutment (17). In use, a cable wire is placed between the working portion (11a, 12a) of the pliers. Upon compressing the legs, the piercing member (18) penetrates the cable sheathing to establish with its point the electric contact between the cable core and the pliers' leg (11) which is provided with a connecting member (20) for the connection of a test cable (22). Due to the cable wire testing pliers, the customary stripping and securing of terminals may be avoided for testing cable wires.
