Straight Tong Die Driver: Used for die slot redressing, the straight tong die driver is the simplest of type of rig tong. Though it is also the simplest type of rig tong to use, it is also the least safe of the three. Its handle and handguard protect hammer blows from falling onto the grip. Straight tong die drivers are lightweight—under eight pounds—and measure in at around 1”.

Angled Tong Die Driver: The angled tong die driver has a grip that’s angled away from the perpendicular tong as well as brass guards for the tong tip and handle, making this rig tong safer than the straight tong die driver. While this tong is safer, however, it’s actually harder to keep the angle tong die driver in place. This driver is similar in length to the straight tong die driver, but is about two pounds heavier, weighing in at over nine pounds.

Hammerless Tong Die Driver: This variety of tong die driver is made up of a hand pipe that can be used to apply pressure to the tong’s tip without using a hammer at all. This option is the safest of the three driver types because there’s no hammer required, it’s also the slowest driver for this same reason. The hammerless tong die driver is about as long and weighs as much as the straight tong die driver.

One type of open head tongs having non-rotatable gripping elements which has been utilized heretofore included a pair of diametrically opposed tong dies which were biased into engagement with the work piece. This tong quite often provided gripping on only a 180° quadrant of the work piece or provided gripping at only two locations thereby: increasing the potential of the work piece being dislodged from the tong grip; increasing the potential of damage of the work piece because of overstressing at either or both of the points of contact with the work piece; and/or necessitating a plurality of different tong dies or manual die adjustments over a very small range of work piece diameters. These problems are particularly acute when the tone is used in oil field applications, for example as a backup tong where the range of applied torques may exceed 40,000 Ft-lb. and the tong may be expected to handle a wide range of drill pipe diameters such as 41/4 to 71/4 inches.

An alternative to the two tong die system utilizes more than two dies and a latching door. This alternative system would aid in the problems of the work becoming dislodged and would provide more than two point contact; however, the mechanical configurations of such prior systems limited the range of work diameters which could be utilized.

By means of the present invention which includes an open tong which is structured to generally freely receive the work piece therewithin and thereafter engage, independently of a latching door, the work piece at a plurality of locations no more than 120° apart, the hereinabove mentioned problems are generally alleviated. Furthermore, the tong of the present invention includes means for camming engagement of the tong dies with the work piece in a manner that all tong dies engage the work piece simultaneously and equal forces are applied thereto. Still further, a lost motion arrangement with the tong jaws of the present invention provides an even greater range of work diameters which may be used with a single tong constructed according to the principles of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of power and backup tong assembly which incorporates a backup tong constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention;

FIG. 2 is a plan view, with the top plate removed of a backup tong as illustrated in FIG. 1 and constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention;

FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of power and backup tong assembly 10 comprising a suitable power tong 12 which carries a backup tong 14 of the present invention. Power tong 12 is any suitable construction and as shown supports backup tong 14 therefrom by means of releasable side support assemblies 16 and a rear assembly 18 which communicates between backup tong 14 adjacent the rearward end thereof and a suitable torque transmitting assembly 20. Torque transmitting assembly 20 extends downwardly from power tong 12 adjacent the rearward end thereof. As is known with a unit such as assembly 10 the backup tong 14 is carried by power tong 12 to oppose the rotational reaction force of the power tong 12 when making up or breaking out of a threaded joint of pipe. The backup tong 14 prevents the free spinning of the lower portion of the pipe and eliminates the real need of a backup cable which presents a myriad of problems not the least of which is the bending of the pipe being coupled or uncoupled. In operation the tongs 12 and 14 grip adjacent pieces of pipe or collars being coupled or uncoupled.

Backup tong 14 comprises an elongated generally hollow main casing 22; a jaw assembly 24 received within casing 22; and a hydraulic or pneumatic actuator means or piston assembly 26 which is received within casing 22 and is selectively operable to extend and retract respective elements of jaw assembly 24 to engage and disengage the work.

Main casing 22 comprises spaced top and bottom walls 28 and 30, respectively, which include a forwardly open rearwardly extending opening 32 therewithin which is generally defined by an inner periphery 34 which tapers slightly inward from the open end thereof to a generally straight portion and terminates in a semi-circular portion at the rearwardmost end thereof. Walls 28 and 30 are maintained in spaced relationship and structural rigidity therebetween is achieved by vertical walls 36 which extend substantially continuously therebetween adjacent the outer periphery thereof. The forwardmost ends of walls 36 terminate adjacent the respective sides of the forward open end of opening 32. It is noted that the transverse dimension of opening 32 is of a size to readily receive a variety of differing diameter work or pipes therewithin.

Jaw assembly 24 comprises a plurality of spaced tong jaws or jaw crank arms which are pivotally carried within casing 22 adjacent the periphery 32 and as illustrated in FIG. 2 include forward tong jaws or jaw crank arms 38 and 40 and a rear tong jaw or jaw crank arm 41. As indicated in the drawings jaw crank arms 38, 40 and 41 are shown in solid in their open position and shown in phantom in their respective closed positions.

Crank arm 38 comprises: an elongated tong die carrying portion 42 which carries a tong die 116 at the free end thereof; a suitable pivot portion or connecting sleeve 46, formed in any suitable manner, for example as a through bore or as a hollow cylindrical vertically extending pivot sleeve rigidly secured to portion 42 or integrally formed therewith adjacent the opposite end thereof; and a biforcated link arm connecting portion 48 which is rigidly secured to sleeve 46 and extends rearwardly therefrom generally along an axis extending in the direction of the longitudinal extent of portion 42. Connecting portion 48 includes a pair of spaced connecting members 50 having vertically aligned bores 52 therethrough which are utilized for the pivotal connection to a link arm as described hereinafter.

Crank arm 40 is similar in construction to arm 38 described hereinabove and comprises: an elongated tong die carrying portion 54 which carries a tong die 116 at the free end thereof; a pivot portion 46 rigidly secured to or integrally formed with portion 54 adjacent the other end of arm 40; and a link connecting portion 56 which communicates with portion 46 and extends therefrom along an axis which intersects, at an obtuse angle, an axis drawn through the longitudinal extent of portion 54. Link connecting portion 56 is shown as having a vertical bore 58 therethrough for pivotal connection to a link arm as described hereinafter. Crank arm 41 is substantially similar in operative description to crank arm 40; however; for ease of description hereafter the tong die carrying portion, link connecting portion and the vertical bore through the link connecting portion are respectively assigned differing reference numerals 60, 62 and 64.

Piston assembly 26 is positioned within a rearward portion of casing 22 and comprises a double acting piston assembly 76 having a piston rod 78 reciprocably driven by means of a suitable fluid under pressure being alternatively supplied through suitable fluid power inlets 80 located at respective axial ends of assembly 76. To extend the piston rod 78 fluid under pressure is supplied to the rear inlet 80 and the forward inlet 80 is directed to tank or atmosphere. Conversely to retract the piston rod 78 fluid under pressure is supplied to the forward inlet 80 and the rear inlet 80 is directed to tank or atmosphere. The rear end of piston assembly 26 is carried adjacent a rear end portion of casing 22 and the forward end thereof is suitably pivotally connected to a link arm 82.

With a backup tong 14 as described hereinabove and the jaw assembly 24 in an open position as shown in FIG. 2, wherein all elements of arms 38, 40 and 41 and of link arms 82 and 98 are within the casing 22 and retracted from opening 32, the work or pipe W is easily received within opening 32 with no fear of contacting or damaging the elements of jaw assembly 24 during initial set up.

It is noted that in certain instances, for example where arms 38, 40 and 41 are changed to accommodate a range of pipes different from the range accommodated by the illustrated embodiment, that the outermost end of the arm 38 may extend slightly into the opening 32 in the retracted position. Nevertheless this slight obstruction, for example 1 inch will still allow easy insertion of a large range of work diameters within the opening 32.

After reception of the work W with opening 32 the piston assembly 26 is energized to extend the piston rod 78. The piston rod 78 pushes on link arm 82 causing arm 82 to move forward which in turn results in pivot assembly 88 moving outward. The outward movement of piston assembly 88 causes forward crank arm 38 to rotate counterclockwise about the respective pivot assembly 66 therefor. During this initial movement and rotation of forward crank arm 38, crank arms 40 and 41 and link 98 remain biased into their retracted positions and do not move by virtue of the lost motion arrangement existing between the lost motion connection 102 and the slot 91 in the lost motion link portion 90. During this initial movement and rotation, pivot pin 110 of the lost motion connection 102 slides rearwardly along slot 91 until the instant the pin 110 contacts the rear end of slot 91 adjacent the free end of the lost motion link portion 90. At this instant crank arm 38 has rotated to the position indicated by the reference 92 and arm 38 and arms 40 and 41 are all in a fixed relationship to each other and have identical angular relationship (generally 120° apart) to the center of the backup tong which is indicated with an X placed within opening 32. Prior to this time crank arm 38 did not have an equal angular relationship with arms 40 and 41 because of the necessity of allowing a clearance opening 32 for the insertion of the work.

With pivot pin 110 contacting the end of slot 91 the extension of piston rod 78 continues thereby continuing the rotation of crank arm 38 about the respective pivot assembly therefore while simultaneously pushing on crank arm 41 and causing the counterclockwise rotation thereof about the respective pivot assembly 66 therefor. This rotation of crank arm 41 results in the rearward and outward movement of pivot assembly 101 which in turn pulls on link arm 98 to cause the counterclockwise rotation of crank arm 40 about the respective pivot assembly 66 therefor. This rotation of crank arms 38, 40 and 41 continues in unison until the replaceable arcuate tong dies 116 carried at the free ends of such arms engage the work W. At this point it is noted that although spring 112 is tensioned and opposing the piston assembly 26, the resulting spring biasing force is insignificant.

With the tong dies now engaging the work or pipe W, the power tong 12 rotates a joint of pipe clockwise, when making up a threaded connection, and the pipe W is restricted from rotation by the crank arms 38, 40 and 41 as the respective dies 116 therefor firmly engage and cam into the pipe W at respective angular positioning of approximately 120°. Once the dies 116 firmly engage the pipe W bearing rotated, the jaw assembly 24 becomes self-energizing. When the casing 22 of the backup tong 14 attempts to rotate, as it will when the backup tong 14 resists the pipe rotation, the resulting torque moment is transmitted to the frame of the power tong 12 by the force reaction. Although very high torque levels may be encountered in makeup or break down (i.e. 40,000 to 100,000 ft-lb), the power tong 10 and backup tong 14 acts as an integral unit and no external restrains are theoretically required.

The jaw assembly 24 is unidirectional. Accordingly, suitable means are provided to make backup tong 14 invertible in a manner that an operator may select the proper position to oppose the power tong (i.e. make up or break down position). Although not shown in detail a system for inverting tong 14 is generally illustrated wherein release of side support assemblies 16 would result in the forward portion of tong 14 dropping down by rotation about a first transverse axis at rear assembly 18 and thereafter the tong 14 is inverted by rotation about another transverse axis at rear assembly 18 which is perpendicular to the first transverse axis. The side support assemblies are then reconnected on the inverted tong 14 and the tong would now be operable for pipe break down rather than make up as was described hereinbefore.

It is to be understood that the invention herein is directed to a tong having an improved jaw system and modifications to the preferred embodiment described hereinbefore may be made by one skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the invention which is only defined by the claims appended hereto, for example: it is possible to utilize more than three jaws; if desired a manual system may be used for extension or retraction of jaw assembly 24 rather than the illustrated piston assembly 26 or as an override used in conjunction with the assembly 26; a pivotal gate may be provided to selectively close off opening 32; the jaw, link and pivot assembly configurations may vary; other sets of jaws may be provided to accommodate additional ranges of pipe diameter (i.e. one set of jaws for pipe diameter 41/2 inches to 53/8 inches and another set for pipe diameter 51/2 to 71/4 inches); a tong constructed in accordance with the principles of the present invention may be used as a primary tong rather than a backup tong as described; and the like.
