Well tubing handling apparatus
This patent describes a frame for lifting well rods on an apparatus for handling elongated well elements, comprising: a cross-piece having a downwardly open groove and an opening provided on the axis of symmetry of the groove, a pair of oppositely-acting, spring-loaded clamp jaws pivotably received in the groove of the cross-piece, a hollow plunger rigidly secured in the opening of the cross-piece, extending upwardly of the same cross-piece, and having a collar portion acting as a piston provided on the upwardly extending portion, a split sleeve axially movable on the plunger and having a portion of an inner diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the collar portion of the plunger defining a space to be filled with a pressure fluid, whereby the sleeve assembled with the plunger forms a power cylinder, link members for providing a kinematic connection of the sleeve with the clamp jaws, each of the link members being pivoted to the sleeve with one of its ends and to a respective one of the clamp jaws with the other, a centering guide for the upper end of a well rod rigidly connected to the cross-piece and arranged above the pair of clamp jaws.
