An adapter that serves to connect the rotary table to the kelly. The kelly bushing has an inside diameter profile that matches that of the kelly, usually square or hexagonal. It is connected to the rotary table by four large steel pins that fit into mating holes in the rotary table. The rotary motion from the rotary table is transmitted to the bushing through the pins, and then to the kelly itself through the square or hexagonal flat surfaces between the kelly and the kelly bushing. The kelly then turns the entire drillstring because it is screwed into the top of the drillstring itself. Depth measurements are commonly referenced to the KB, such as 8327 ft KB, meaning 8327 feet below the kelly bushing.

Roller Kelly Bushings can be classed as two types based on different ways of drive, square drive and pin drive. Also they can be classed as three types based on different style, heavy, medium and light-duty. They are used for 17.1/2 to 49.1/2inch rotary tables.

MASTER BUSHING AS SEMBLY Original Filed Jan. 4, 1967 United States Patent Int. Cl. F16d 3/06 US. Cl. 6423.5 17 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An improved master bushing assembly capable of selectively driving either a pin drive kelly bushing or a square drive kelly bushing.

Master bushings presently in use in the well drilling industry are of two general types, namely: those which function to drive a square drive kelly bushing; and those which function to drive a pin drive kelly bushing. Although it is desirable to have both the square and pin type master bushings vailalble to the same rig concurrently, some operators cannot hear the expense involved in equipping themselves so fully. Additionally, if an operator does have both type master bushings available and drilling conditions dictate a desired change from a pin to a square drive kelly bushing or conversely, this necessitates the removal of the existing master bushing, for example a pin type, and inserting a square type in place thereof within the rotary table, thereby resulting in increased operation costs.

The present invention comprises a master bushing which, when used in conjunction with adapter means and/ or spacer means, permits selective use of a pin drive or square drive kelly bushing without the need to change the master bushing as is required with conventional master bushings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a master bushing as,- sembly embodying one form of the present invention showing elements disassembled from one another;

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view partly in section of the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 1 showing certain of the elements thereof operatively assembled together with ments" thereof operatively assembled together with a rotary table and a square drive kelly bushing.

Flange 27 has a generally flat horizontal upper surface 28 which, when master bushing -11 is interfitted with rotary table 13, is coplanar with the horizontal upper surface 23 of rotary table 13. Flange 27 also has a centrally disposed generally polygonal, as shown square, shaped recess 29, extending therewithin, which recess 29 has its center point coincident with the longitudinal axis of main body portion 25 and is greater in its side dimension than the diameter of inner opening 26, so that an annular shoulder 30 is defined between recess 29 and inner opening 26. The outer shape of flange 27 is complementary in shape with and snugly and non-rotatably received by the upper opening 21 of rotary table 13 such that the undersurface of flange 27 and shoulder 22 abut. The flange 27 has four longitudinally extending identical cylindrical openings 31 uniformly spaced at the corner portions of the flange 27 which receive the pin drive means (not shown) therein, of a pin drive kelly bushing (not shown) of a well known construction.

The square drive adapter insert 12 has a dual function of accommodating slips together with serving as the drive adapter means of the present invention, and includes a tubular cylindrically externally shaped lower portion 34 comprised of two identical semi-cylindrical bodies 35. The outer surface of lower portion 34 is complementary in shape to the inner opening 26 of body portion 25 of master bushing 11 and is removably received therein. Lower portion 34 has a frusto-conical downwardly tapering inner opening 36 suitably shaped for receiving slips. A generally square shaped bevelled-corner flange 37 comprised of two identical halves 38 is fixed to and extends outwardly from the upper end of lower portion 34. The outer shape of the sides of flange 37 is generally complementary in shape with that of the sides of recess 29 of main body portion 25 of master bushing 11, such that flange 37 is snugly and non-rotatably received in recess 29 with the upper surface of flange 37 being coplanar with the upper surface 28 of flange 27 of master bushing 11. Flange 37 has a centrally disposed longitudinally extending generally polygonal, shown as square, shaped opening 40 therewithin, which opening 40 has a side dimension greater than the major diameter of inner opening 36 of lower portion 34 so that an annular shoulder 41 is defined between opening 40 and inner opening 36. Square opening 40 of flange 37 is suitably sized to snugly removably receive the square drive portion 42 of kelly bushing 15.

The pin drive spacing insert 113 is used in combination with bushing 11 when a pin drive kelly bushing (not shown) of a well known construction, is rotatably driven by having the pin drive means (not shown) thereof received in openings 31 of flange 27. Insert 113 is dimensionally identical to the drive adapter insert 12 hereinabove described, with the exception that insert 113 has a differently shaped interior opening than insert 12, namely a frusto-conical downwardly tapering inner opening 32, which is suitably shaped for receiving a pin drive kelly bushing tapered guide skirt (not shown) of a well known construction therein. The exterior contact surfaces of inserts 12 and 113 are identical, therefore, no further description of insert 113 is believed necessary and it will be received within master bushing 11 in exactly the manner insert 12 is received as hereinabove described.

In addition, the principles of this invention taught by the embodiment hereinabove described and shown in FIGS. 1 through 3 may be applied to a master bushing which can be classified as an adapter receiving chamber, that is it, in itself, will have no drive provisions on the flange thereof, but will provide support for a square drive adapter insert or a pin drive adapter insert. The square drive adapter will be identical to insert 12 hereinabove described, however, the pin drive adapter will differ from insert 113 hereinabove described in that it will have drive pin receiving openings within the upper outwardly extending flange thereof.
