A c'oil Spriiigfi rests onthe bottom of said [cylinder and; surrounds the mandrel--2 and -the-plunger Sjrests against the Secured tothe fupper end Qof the cylinder 7 there is a spiderlO having a'jfluid passageway into the cylinder and which 1 supports the valve seat 11v and. cooperating with said seat 6' I I there; is an upwardly opening ball valve .12 which is, confined: by the conventional valve cage. 1? screwed vonto said seat, g-The valve 7 12 is disposed above and:is aligned: with i and H 'n rm y's lp q dib st e ppe e he i mandrel 2 which extends; up through 1 saidp assageway'. The valve 12 is arranged above said seat; andcontrols said passageway; a In operation the implementwill: be at} tached to the lowerend'cf the string ofpipe and will be thereby lowered into the casing to be cut; Ifthe casingisffilled with earth formation'the implement inay be rotated and the bit4will disintegratesuch formation so V that it maybe washed out until the cutter is lowered tothe desired point;
] Water, under pressure, is ,thenpumped down through the string o ipipe to which the the plunger'moves downwardly the inandrel 2 will he forced downwardly, throughathe axial bearing 1a ofthe' head 1 and its ta'peredl 1 lower end willfworkj against the downward j with, c iiii eia 7,. and within :the cylinder t converging faces 15, 15,0f the cutters 3 and force said cutters outwardly into contact with the casing to be cut. Meanwhile the cutter isrotated and as cutters 3, 3, are forced out wardly they will gradually penetrate and eventually sever the casing to be cut.
The plunger 8 has restricted water courses 16, 16, therethrough through which a part of the pressure fluid is permitted to pass, said fluid passing through the bearing 14 and out through the water course 17 provided in the bit. These channels 16, 16, are provided sothat the pump may continue 'to operate' and will not be completely stopped. y c.
.When the tapered lower end of the'mandr'el" passes through" between the cutters? 3; and said cutters are fully expanded'orprojected the casing to be out will be severed this happens the pump will be stopped, indieati rrg' to the:operator that the =-casing has beenr: entirely sev'ere'd and thereupon the spring-'Wwilhlii t the plunger 8 carrying the mandrel 2*wu pwardly with it and releasing said mandrel from the cutters 3 and 'lifting itsvalve l2 fromits seat.= P a Itistd be notedthat the outeredge or margin of; each cutter is'serrated as at l8'so as-to more *rea-d'ily'cut 'into the casingand 3 furthermore that theteeth" of said o-utters'are V tapered ormtormed wedge-shaped.
