Pipe Make/Break Apparatus With Gripping Jaws And Adjustable Pipe Spinner With Oiling System

View page
US Patent:
6722231, Apr 20, 2004
Filed:
Mar 19, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/102544
Inventors:
Thomas D Hauk - Los Alamitos CA
Raul Hector Perez - Hawthorne CA
Assignee:
Hawk Industries, Inc. - Long Beach CA
International Classification:
B25B 1700
US Classification:
81 5716, 81 5724, 81 5734
Abstract:
A pipe making and breaking apparatus having top, middle and bottom wrenches connected to a frame. A torquing cylinder operatively extends between the middle wrench and the frame and when actuated through one or more torquing cycles causes an upper pipe to make (top and middle wrenches) or break (middle and bottom wrenches) relative to a lower pipe. A grip hold actuator maintains the middle wrench in the gripping position continuously during the making torquing cycles. A continuous chain spinner above the top wrench spins the top pipe to make a position or away from a make position. The spinner can be a stand alone unit or can hang freely in the derrick or can be part of the make/break apparatus. A spinner drive chain motor when pressurized and when an oiler button is actuated causes lubricant to be sprayed out a nozzle on the (moving) chain. Windows (guide gates) and/or guide posts direct the chain so as to not bunch up against the casing sprockets.

Variable Rack Adjustment Assembly For Pipe Spinning Machines

View page
US Patent:
6935210, Aug 30, 2005
Filed:
Dec 5, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/729353
Inventors:
Thomas D Hauk - Palm Desert CA, US
Raul Hector Perez - El Segundo CA, US
Assignee:
Hawk Industries, Inc. - Long Beach CA
International Classification:
B25B013/50
US Classification:
81 5716, 81 5717, 81 5733
Abstract:
A cam-operated, rack-on-rack adjustment assembly on a drill pipe spinner allows the user to easily and in small increments (distances) (three-eighths inch, one-quarter inch or less, or more) adjust the effective pipe engaging length of the drive chain. In other words, the effective length of chain wrap (the amount that grips the pipe) given the pipe size can be adjusted.

Golf Swing Practice System

View page
US Patent:
7594858, Sep 29, 2009
Filed:
Jul 5, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/428807
Inventors:
Thomas D. Hauk - Palm Desert CA, US
Assignee:
Hawknest Engineering LLC - Palm Desert CA
International Classification:
A63B 69/36
US Classification:
473146
Abstract:
A golf swing practice apparatus including a golf ball simulation target and anchor for securing the target to a support surface. The anchor may be a ground stake when the surface is the ground and, alternatively, a mat anchor when the surface is a golf training mat. A connector arm horizontally offsets the anchor out of the way from the target, and can be adjustably positioned relative to the target to raise or lower the position of the target above the support surface as desired. A marker is supported by the target for leaving a mark on the golf club head during a practice swing. The location of the mark relative to the “sweet spot” on the golf club head can be used to adjust the golf swing. The mark can be two marks whose relative sizes indicate whether the target was hit with an open or close face impact.

Automatically Adjustable Power Jaw

View page
US Patent:
7942081, May 17, 2011
Filed:
Aug 28, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/200776
Inventors:
Thomas D Hauk - Palm Desert CA, US
Anthony B. Jorda - Cypress CA, US
Raul H. Perez - Hawthorne CA, US
Michael Ernest Rivera - Garden Grove CA, US
Assignee:
Hawk Industries, Inc. - Signal Hill CA
International Classification:
B25B 13/50
B25B 13/14
US Classification:
81 5719, 81129, 81165
Abstract:
An improved jaw apparatus is provided for making or breaking a tubular pipe connection. The jaw includes a head adapted to receive a hook having a threaded shank end. The threaded shank end is engaged at the head end opposite the hook end by a hydraulic powered nut adjustment assembly. The adjustment assembly may be operated by a control unit to allow for the automatic opening and closing of the jaw for receiving pipes of varying diameters.

Apparatus For Making And Breaking Joints In Drill Pipe Strings

View page
US Patent:
58680454, Feb 9, 1999
Filed:
Aug 14, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/514835
Inventors:
Thomas D. Hauk - Los Alamitos CA
Assignee:
Hawk Industries, Inc. - Long Beach CA
International Classification:
B25B 1350
US Classification:
81 5734
Abstract:
Apparatus for making and breaking joints in drill pipe strings has three jaws each of which is adjustable to an infinite number of settings. The jaw-adjustment means are symmetrical about a central plane, and incorporate a spherical section. Different portions of the spherical section operate relative to closing and self-energizing of each jaw, the particular operative portion depending upon the exact set or adjusted position of the jaw. Each jaw is constructed for stable clamping of a drill type portion, with only one side of each jaw having a die element that is rotatably mounted. The jaw-adjustment mechanism effects both opening and closing of the jaw, there being no necessity to manually pull on a jaw portion at any time.

Apparatus For Testing Pipe For Leaks

View page
US Patent:
39759458, Aug 24, 1976
Filed:
Jun 30, 1975
Appl. No.:
5/591502
Inventors:
Thomas D. Hauk - Huntington Beach CA
Kenneth J. Carstensen - Huntington Beach CA
Assignee:
Service Equipment Design Co., Inc. - Signal Hill CA
International Classification:
G01M 328
F17D 304
US Classification:
73 46
Abstract:
The casing of an external leak tester for joints in oil well pipes is greatly reinforced in a compact manner by a cage which is symmetrical about two planes oriented at right angles to each other -- each plane containing the axis of the pipe to be tested. Four parallel pins interconnect the components of the cage, and one such pin (a lock pin) is retractable by piston means in order to permit the cage and thus the casing to open wide for lateral reception of the pipe. A plurality of means are provided to effect precise and rapid alignment of apertures in the cage, in order that the piston-operated lock pin may be inserted without binding to thereby lock the cage in closed condition. Cylinder-operated hooks are provided to effect augmented sealing compression of the sealing means for the test chamber, and to close the cage to the position at which the lock pin may be inserted as indicated above. Cylinder means are provided to pivot to a wide-open position certain components of the cage which interconnect with the lock pin, thus greatly facilitating entry of the pipe into the apparatus.

Method Of Gaging And Joining Pipe

View page
US Patent:
41279271, Dec 5, 1978
Filed:
May 2, 1977
Appl. No.:
5/792568
Inventors:
Ernest D. Hauk - Signal Hill CA
Thomas D. Hauk - Long Beach CA
Kenneth J. Carstensen - Odessa TX
International Classification:
B23Q 1700
US Classification:
29407
Abstract:
The present method and apparatus are believed to be the first to achieve, at least in a practical manner susceptible of widespread use on large numbers of joints, both proper engagement and proper makeup torque between tapered threaded members such as sections of pipe in an oil well or pipeline. In accordance with one embodiment, presently preferred, gage means are employed to determine the actual hand tight plane of each tapered threaded member, and a mark is made on each such member in predetermined relationship to the hand tight plane. Such marks are then employed for field inspection of joints which have been made up to a predetermined, measured, desired makeup torque. In accordance with another embodiment, the members (for example, casing and tubing sections and collars) are made up until the marks on the collar and the pipe are at a predetermined axial distance from each other at a predetermined makeup torque or predetermined desired range of makeup torques. In accordance with another embodiment, not preferred, only one of the two members is gaged and marked. Gaging and marking may be effected rapidly, even under adverse field conditions.
