View page
US Patent:
7815032, Oct 19, 2010
Filed:
Jul 2, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/824640
Inventors:
Kevin L. Preston - Tomball TX, US
Loren D. Skiles - Tomball TX, US
Assignee:
Control Flow Inc. - Houston TX
International Classification:
B65G 47/46
US Classification:
1983696, 1983693, 19837009, 1984632
Abstract:
Roller assemblies for transporting and laterally shifting pipe section, or joints, on oil and gas exploration and production laybarges, drilling/production vessels and platforms, and pipe spooling yards are disclosed. The roller assemblies comprise rollers that are capable of being tilted to facilitate lateral shifting of the pipe sections or joints. The roller assemblies comprise a frame, a tilting assembly, a roller frame pivotally connected to the tilting assembly and the frame, and a roller rotatably connected to the roller frame by an axle. The tilting assembly lifts one end of the roller frame to tilt the roller.

US Patent:
20130189035, Jul 25, 2013
Filed:
Jan 24, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/357007
Inventors:
PATRICK K. ALLOWAY - Magnolia TX, US
Kevin L. Preston - Houston TX, US
Loren D. Skiles - Tomball TX, US
International Classification:
F16L 1/23
US Classification:
405166
Abstract:
Linear pipe recovery/lay tensioners can include one or more pivot assemblies for rotatably moving an upper track away from a lower track to facilitate placement of a pipe segment between the two tracks. In addition, or alternatively, the tensioners can include one or more hydraulic cylinders that provide flexible suspension to the upper and lower tracks so the tracks can move and rotate as necessary due to differing pipe segment shapes. In addition, or alternatively, the upper and lower tracks include one or more gripping pad having one or more gripping member that is sheathed by a compliant member until such time as the pipe segment compresses the compliant member causing the gripping member(s) to protrude from the compliant member and bite into the pipe segment. Rotation of the tracks is controlled by a hydraulic pump capable of rotating the tracks at the same rate or at different rates.

Loren D. Skiles - Tomball TX, US
International Classification:
F16L 1/23

US Classification:
4051684

In addition, or alternatively, the upper and lower tracks include one or more gripping pads having one or more gripping members that can be sheathed by a compliant member until such time as the pipe segment compresses the compliant member causing the gripping member(s) to protrude from the compliant member and engage the pipe segment. Rotation of the tracks is controlled by a hydraulic pump capable of rotating the tracks at the same rate or at different rates.
