CALIEORNIA, AssIeNOR's To DOHENY-sToNE DRILL co.,'on` Los ANGELES, OALI- EORNIA, A CORPORATION OE DELAWARE Y l ovERsHoT Application filed May 25, 1929. Serial No. 365,910.

This invention relates generally-` to tools for recovering lost? well casing, drill stems, tools and the like from deep well bores. It is more particularly concerned with that type of fishing tool known as an overshot by reason of the fact that it is of tubular or barrel construction adapted to lit over work.

It is the general object of the invention to provide an overshot which is not only sure 10 and effective as a grappling VJtool but one which is so fashioned that it is `well adaptedv to 'stand the terrific pulling strains to whichI it is subjected after it has caught hold on the lish. These" features of su-re-catching and `great strength are secured without unduly enlarging any of the parts, it being'realized that extreme compactness is necessary in or` der that the tool may be'fully eilicient under all working conditions.. -l

The work-gripping jaws and all actuating fmechanism therefor necessarily are mounted in the bore of the overshot barrel. Yet the wall of the barrel which supports thejaw `and actuating mechanism, remembering that the jaws lmust move radially to-and from the work-gripping position,'cannot be 'of eX'ces'- sive thickness, for it must pass between the work and thev wall of the bore within which the work rests. -'Furthermore, the outside diameter of thebarrel--is necessarily restricted, in some cases, by the diameter of the casing h'lough which the tool is lowered toward .the In our tool the jaws have a relatively wide range of radial projection and retraction and yet this is accomplished without unduly reducing the thickness ofi the barrel wallA by v which they are supported, or otherwise weakvening the structure. v

As a further feature we have so fashioned the jaws and their mounting that the rae dially and circumferentially directed strains imposed onv the jaws by the reaction of the work" are efliciently transmitted to the body or barrel member. The jaws, throughout t-heir movement, preferablyhave full bearing against thebarrel walls s o there is no tend- Qency to'distort them, a characteristic which is notv found inusual overshots and the lack Of Awhich has led to many failures in these usual devices.

.We have determined that by far the most eflicient way of grappling a {ish on its outer `peripheral face is to utilize a plurality of an gularly spaced jaws, which jaws are mounted for movement individually into and out of operative position. We haveso fashioned the present overshot, but in utilizing these individually movablefjaws or slips, we find that, due to irregularities of the work, etc., the jaws are not always pushed to the same position when the work is introduced to the .bore barrel,and consequently when the pullto, the fluid being passed tothe propeller A through bores of the fishing stem and yovershot'barrel. The action of this evener may be discussed to better advantage in the following detailed description, it being noted that the evenerma-y be utilized as a propeller to force the jaws firmly into engagement with the work whether or not the propeller is irst called upon to Aeven the jaws. E'

It is often necessary to release an overshot fromv a iish forA reasons that will be set forth in the body of the specification., and to accomplish this release we'have fashioned the workgripping slip teeth in the form of threads.

The slips are held from movementA circum- `fe`rentially of the barrel so, after the slips have been initially somewhat loosened from the work, they `may be rotated by barrel rotavtion in a manner to cut threads through the v wall of the work and thus, in effect, the-slips vthread their way upwardly clear of sald work, whereupon the entire tool may be lifted. The characteristics which permit of 'such an operation without looseningthe` threaded 10o joints of the fishing stem will be set forth in the following detailed specification, wherein other objects and novel features of the invention will be made apparent. Reference will be had tothe accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a conventional sectional View through a bore hole, showing therein a sh and an embodiment of my invention. The.

overshot is shown in elevation except for its upper portion which, together with a tool joint immediately thereabove, is shown in longitudinal medial section.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal medial sectlon through an embodiment of my invention, the wedge slip being shown in their positlon of full radial projection.

Fig. 3 is a view generally similar to Fig. 2 but showing additionallygwork in the tool bore. The slips are shown in work-gripping positions.

Fig.`4 is a bottom plan view of Figure 2, showing the end of the bowl, only.

Fig. 5 is a section on the broken line 5-5 Y of Fig. 2.

'PBarrel 11 may be considered as including a tubular slip socket or shell 12 having a tubular extension 13 threaded thereinto at 14. A stop collar 15 is threaded and then welded at 16 onto extension 13, shell 12 being threaded into tight end engagement with said collar.

Threadably connected at 17 with the lower end of shell 12 is a bowl 18, the bore 19 of which communicates with the bore 20 of said shell 12. Bowl 18 may have any characteristics which render it suitable to the particular fishing job in hand, there being provided a plurality of interchangeable bowls with each barrel. It will be understood that the present invention is in no way limited to use with a particular bowl attached thereto.

, The bowl illustrated has a iaring mouth 21 and is cut away spirally at 22 to leave a vertically extending edge 23 which may or may not be pressed radially outward as in Figure 4 to give it wall-hook characteristics. The described formation of the bowl is such that, when the stem is rotated, it tends to straighten up inclined work W so it is centered with and in a position to enter slip The upper end of extension 13 is internally threaded at 24 to take threaded pin 25 of tubular sub 26 whereby detachable connection is `made to fishing stem 27. Stem 27 is made up of a plurality of pipe lengths 28 coupled together by tubular tool joints such as 29, and at the upper end stem is a swivel conventionally shown at 30. Said swivel has a bail 31 whereby the stem is vertically controlled from above by usual hoisting tackle (not shown) and includes a hose connection 32 whereby fluid may be passed under pressure from a pump (not shown). to the bore of the fishing stem and thence through the bore of sub 26 to the bore 33 of extension 13. In hose connection 32, there is conventionally illustrated a Valve 34 whereby fluid pressure may be controlled, though it will be understood that this valve is normally found directly at the pressure side of the pump.

The bore 20 of slip socket 12 has a portion 35 of reduced diameter d, and sunk in the defining wall of this portionis a plurality of angularly spaced, longitudinally extending ways 36. The bottom walls 37 of these ways or grooves incline inwardly and downwardly and therefore, since the ways each open at one side to bore .35, the slip socket may be considered as having certain opposite walls which converge inwardly and downwardly.

Mounted for individual vertical reciprocation through ways 36 are wedge slips 38,

-each of said slips having a face 39 which is angled complementary to and in engagement with a corresponding wall 37,*and an opposite wall 40 upon which are preferably formed work-gripping formations 41, these formations here being illustrated in the form of parallel upwardly pointing teeth which are cut transversely of the slip body and at an angle of other than 90 with respect to the major axis of each slip, thus giving the l teeth thread-like characteristics for purposes which will be set forth.

While any suitable means may be employed for retaining the wedge slips in ways 36 andY guiding said slips in a. direction parallel to walls-37 during upward slip movement, we have shown a preferred means in the form of lateral tongues 42 (Fig. 7) on the slips 38. said tongues being adapted to ride through complementary ways 43 provided at each side of and? opening into ways 36. y

Because of the characteristics given above, it will be seen that vertical slip reciprocation is necessarily accompanied by translation of said slips radially withv respect to the barrel or slip socket. When the slips are at the limit of their downward movement, as determined by their contact with the upwardly facing end shoulder 44 of bowl 18, teeth 41 are projected radially inward intovbore 35, this beingtheir position of full projection or full operative position.

memes On the other hand, when. the are moved verticaly upwardly they also move radially outwar towards their fully retracted position. hen the slips are in their uppermostposition as determined by means which' will be described and as is the case of the slip 38a in Figure 3, teeth 41 project slightly or not at all into bore 35.

Considering the slips together as a ring of gripping elements, and considering the ring as being movable vertically, it will be seen that the work gripping rmg may be` thought of as a radially and'expansible and contractible one, the expansion and contraction of which is caused by vertical reciprocation thereof through the slip socket.

It will be noted that the slips contact throughout their vertical extent with barrel walls 37 and that this engagement is maintained throughout vertical movement of the slips. By reason of this full engagement the shps' are fully backed by the "relatively strong body or barrel wall in all their' positions of adjustment, this arrangement not only effecting proper transmission to the body of radially outwardly directed strains imposed on the jaws by the reaction of the work, but also preventing anyl tendency of the slips to bend or rock either horizontally .or vertically, about a point of engagement with the barrel, a tendency which almost always results in slip failure through fracture f or distortion.

It will-also be noted that the slips are'so mounted in ways 36 that they are held from Yrotation about their axes and also from movement circnmferentially of the barrel. The reet eros sectional characteris- -ticsof the slips lends great resistive strength sible of accomplishment with other tools.

vin the form f a having apnicesliding lit within bore 45, and

Mounted for vertical reciprocation withinthe larger portion of bore 20 is a tubular propeller or evener 46. This evener is -like body portion ,47

having depending therefrom a. plurality of 57 threaded -downwardl der 49 formed by the end of extension 13, and when the evener is at this upper limit it allows the slips to raise suiiciently to cause them to be fully radially retracted.

Spaced from the upper end of ring 47 -is` an internal annular ange 50, which presents an upwardly and inwardly inclining shoulder 51 forming an annular groove 51a,

a ring 52 of rubber or any other suitable compressible material resting on the shoulder 51. The lower end ofpacking ring 52 inclines downwardly and outwardly ,to form frsA an annular lip 53 which is in complement f while the upper end of ring 52 has an annular extension or lip 53a which has an inner inclined wall 54. Lip 53a is 'taken withina complementary groove 55 formed between the inner peripheral Wall of ring 47 and the liange 56 on follower ring orgland 'with shoulder 51 and is taken in groove 51a;

57 which has threadabl'e connection at 57a r with the inner wall'of rin 47.- With the diameter of wor W known, ring to longitudinally compress and hence ra ially inwardly exand packing ring `52 until its bore diameter 1s substantially equal to or less than the outside diameter ofthe work. The packin assembly may` thus be considered one Whic is adjustable to vary its effective work-taking diameter. The lit of lips 53l and 53a in grooves 51a and 55, respectively, holds the ends of the 'packing ring from being pulled radially out of position during adjustment thereof and also during its movement with respect to the work, as will hereinafter appear.

termined by measurement that work W has been reached by slips 38. With the Work of known diameter, one chooses` an overshot in which the internal, contracted diameter of the ring of slips is such that when-said slipsI strike the upper end W of the work they will be pushed upwardly and hence will be The tool'in the condition of Figure 2 is lowered through thebore hole until it is demoved radially outward toward a position of retraction, this retractive movement continuing until the work is admitted between the slips. Propeller orevener 46 is moved upwardly by the slips and the weight, alone, of said evener as applied tothe slips through fingers 48 has a tendency to cause the slips angularly'spaced lingers 48, there being one-tdn1ove evenly, for it tends to hold down any linger for each groove or way 36. During reclprocation of the evener or propeller,

fingers 48 play longitudinally through ways 36. When there is no work within the barrel bore the slips 38 are in their lowermost position, resting on. shoulder 44, and evener.

thermore, since downwardly acting iluid pessure is normally maintained' Within. theA re of the barrel, such iuid pressure acts against the upper ,end of the evener witha tendency to hold it down, thus assisting in holdin certain of the sli s from being than others.

' As soon as it is determine by measurement that the slips shomuld'vhave taken hold,

greater depth, and then repeats the test pullupf When the weight indicator shows the. work has been engaged, the driller lowers away the overshot a distancel which will assure him thatthe work has passed upwardly through the bore of packing ring 52. The instant the work passes through this bore the fluid passageway through the overshot v barrel is restricted and the fluid pressure on top of evener 46 is accordin ly increased with a consequent greater ten ency to hold the slips from uneven upward movement.

Due to uneven surface characteristics of the work or to other causes, it sometimes happens that durin the lowering of the barrel over the work t e slips move upwardly unequal distances in spite of the action of the evener. Such a condition is shown in exaggerated form in Figure 3 wherein slip 38a is at its uppermost position, having pushedevener 46 upwardly until it has contacted with shoulder 49, slip 386v has not been moved up quite -so far, and slip 380 has had even less upward movement. It will be obvious thatit -is undesirable to have the slips in this uneven condition when a pull is exerted upon the barrel. To insure that the slips arev pressed evenly into engagement with the work,`additiovnal hydraulic pressure may beA applied vthrough the bore of stem27 and hence through the barrel bore about the upper end of the evener, which end, in thev illustrated embodiment, is made up of the upper ends of rings 47 and 57, where they extend radially into the barrel bore and thus are exposed to the pressure between extension 13 and work W. This pressure forces the evener downwardly and hence directly pushes slip 38a downwardly or, in other words, acts directly against the highest slip.

'It then progressively acts upon the rest of the mainly depended upon for tightly engaging the slips with the work (by reason of angular faces 37 and 39) we may alsoutilize the evener for depressing and hence forcing the slips into tighter engagement with the work even though there be no necessity of evening them, and hence member 46 maybe considered broadly as a propeller for moving the slips long1tudinally of the barrel and hence radially with respect thereto into work-gripping position.-

Due to the tight t' of the packing ring about the'work, there is no appreciable Huid pressure loss between said work and propeller 46, it following that pressure is effectively applied to said propeller and also that a certain amount of iuid may be forced downwardly through the bore of the work rather than around said work. sage of fluid through the work bore allows circulation to be continued through said work, which 4circulationtends to free the fish from dbrisin the bore hole and thus aids in the fishing operation, as is well understood by those skilled 'in the art. l

While we have specified the use of packing ring 52, it will be realized that this packing is not essential to the invention, considered broadly, forV the bore of the evener may be of a suiiciently close fit about the work to allow it to function as described above. Therefore, though the use of the packing increases the efficiency of the tool somewhat and is a desirable and novel feature, it will be understood that such of my claims as do not call for this'packingv .member are not to be considered as limited to the inclusion thereof.

In view ,of the fact that the slips are mounted for individual movement and have individual and ample backing by the barrel, once the slips have been tightly engaged with the work, the barrel may be raised or rotated without dislodgingthe slips from the work and without imposlnglstrains on the jaws or their mountings which cannot be effectively resisted thereby. The full, straight sided engagement of the slips with the barrel walls does much to give the tool this capacity of rigidity when the jaws are contracted.

` In the event the fish cannot be pulled with- This pasout overstraining the fishing string, it is 'desirable to, detach the fish from the work, withdraw it from the well, then circulate oil about the fish to loosen up the sand, and then regrapple said sh.

In order to release the tool from the fish, thepropeller is relieved `from hydraulic pressure, the barrel is relieved from pulling strain, and the tool is rocked or oscillated slightly'to loosen up the grip of teeth 41 on the work. This rocking may be done without fear` of slip breakage because of the described manner in which thel slips are backed up .by the barrel walls.

The drilling string is then rotated right handedly, so the threaded couplings between stem sections may not be broken, assuming the couplings are made up with right-handed threads. With the same assumption of right hand joint threads, teeth 4l are cut as left hand threads so this right hand rotation of the stem and barrel rotates the slips in a direction to cause their teeth to cut threads upwardly through the work wall and thus, in

effect, unscrewfthe overshotV from the fish.

' AIn certain ot the claims we have'y specified these right and left hand threads, but it will be understood this is not limitative onV the claims but is done merely to point out relative characteristics ot the threads on the wedge' slips and stem couplings.

Froma consideration of lngure 7 `it will l be seen that the slips are well backed up on i both sides by the barrel so that this rotational movement Vof the barrel is imparted tol the 'slips without likelihood of breaking said slips or breaking away the defining walls of ways 36.

In Figure 8 w'e have shown a slightly modiied` variation wherein all parts similar to corresponding parts in the views just described are given the same reference numerals. The only difference in this variation over the preferred embodiment resides in the fact that the propeller or evener 46a is made up of two parts, ingers48 depending from the relatively short ring portion 47 and packing ring 52 being carried in a cup-likev member 52a which rests on top ring 46a. Flange 50a on cup 52a corresponds to ilange 50 on ring 47, and the follower ring or gland 57 a is threaded into the bore of cup y52u, just as ring 57 was threadedinto ring 47. The characteristics of the packing ring and the members 'which clamp it are the same asl those described in connection with the other view, and the assembly operates just as does the' other assemblys l I It will be understood that the drawings and description are to be considered merely as illustrative of and not restrictive on the Y broader claims appended hereto, for various changes in design, structure and arrangement may be made without departing from the y spirit and-scope of said claims.
