A device for spinning vertical drill pipe on a drill rig includes a pair of opposed pipe gripping arms pivotably connected to the drill rig at a first end. The other end of one pipe gripping arm includes a drive wheel for frictionally contacting a drill pipe to be spun, and the other end of the second gripping arm includes a plurality of idler drive wheels to support the spinning pipe. A rod and cylinder assembly opens and closes the pipe gripping arms between a storage position and a pipe spinning position. |

A drill pipe spinner is set forth. It is suspended under a hanger and has upper and lower mounting plates. An air motor with cooperative gear box is supported on the upper mounting plate and extends a rotatable shaft through the mounting plate to rotate a driven sprocket. Through the use of suitable sprockets, symmetrically located left and right rollers arc rotated. In addition, the device incorporates an air cylinder which has an extending piston rod which connects by means of a bell crank which clamps the drill pipe. |

A centering spinner for centering and spinning down hole tubulars having a range of diameters. The centering spinner includes a frame capable of admitting a down hole tubular therein and a plurality of roller assemblies pivotally coupled to the frame to converge upon and center the down hole tubular. According to a further feature, adjacent rollers of the roller assemblies of the centering spinner are axially displaced with respect to a down hole tubular retained therein. |

Apparatus for rotating a tubular well element about its longitudinal axis. There are first and second elongate casing sections pivotally connected to each other at a pivot. First and second driven sprockets are mounted, respectively, on the casing sections at locations remote from the pivot. A drive sprocket, mounted on the first casing section, is driven by a motor-gear assembly. A continuous chain is mounted around the drive sprocket, and around the first and second driven sprockets, having an inverse internal portion adapted to receive and directly contact the tubular well element to be rotated. Cylinders are connected between the casing sections to pivot them toward and away from each other and thus alternately clamp the inverse internal portion around the wall element, and release such element from the inverse internal portion. One end of each cylinder is pivotally connected to the first casing section at a point between the pivot and the first driven sprocket. The other end of each cylinder is pivotally connected to the second casing section at a point between the pivot and the second driven sprocket. |

A well pipe handling machine including a vertically extending column structure which carries means for engaging and holding a pipe in vertical condition and is movable with the pipe holding means between a first position in which a carried pipe can be connected to and disconnected from the upper end of a drill string and a laterally offset second position for storing pipe in a rack at a side of the well. The pipe holding means may include a parallelogram mechanism having two arms carrying two vertically spaced pipe holding units and adapted to swing in unison to move the units toward and away from the column structure. The column desirably also carries pipe rotating means including a torque wrench and a spinner for making and breaking a threaded connection between a section of pipe and the string. The spinner is mounted for shifting movement upwardly and downwardly relative to the pipe holding means, and preferably is positioned at the lower end of an operator's cab which is also carried by the support column structure for movement therewith between its different positions. The torque wrench may be located beneath the spinner at the lower end of the control station, and is movable upwardly and downwardly with the spinner and cab relative to the pipe holding means. |

A pipe wrenching tool adapted to be powered by a hand held power drive mechanism is formed with a support for a drive wheel and an idler wheel with the idler wheel being movable with respect to the drive wheel to adjust the tool for differing sizes of pipe. The tool is adapted to interface transversely to the axis of the pipe to be wrenched with the drive wheel engaging the pipe without requiring a part of the tool to circumscribe the pipe. The rotational axis of the idler wheel and rotational axis of the drive wheel are off-set with respect to each other to cause the pipe being wrenched to be forced into the tool. The tool is adapted at both sides to have the drive source attached at the side of the tool away from the pipe so that the tool may be used to engage and wrench pipe in confined spaces. Only the wheels of the tool are rotated; the tool need not rotate with respect to the pipe. |

A spinner for rotating a pipe, such as a spinner mandrel, including a chambered frame having aligned openings through which the pipe can be inserted, drive assembly, such as a sprocket, rotatably mounted in the chamber, endless flexible spinning member, such as a multistrand roller chain, normally slackly encircling the pipe and the drive assembly, and clutch assembly, such as an idler sprocket in engagement with the multistrand roller chain and a hydraulically actuatable piston for laterally moving the idler sprocket, for decreasing the slack sufficiently to force the endless spinning member into frictional rotational driving engagement with the pipe. The preferred embodiment comprises a kelly spinner for use on an oil rig for independently spinning the kelly in order to more safely connect and disconnect drill pipe joints with the kelly during drilling operations. |

The apparatus includes a mast, an elevator and a tubing spider for suspending a string of well tubes or rods, a rack for storing well tubes or rods, a manipulator and a swivel head for screwing and unscrewing the string carried by the manipulator boom. To axially align the last tube or rod with the string the apparatus is provided with centering guides for centering the upper and the lower ends of the tube or rod and a gripping device for gripping the upper end of the string. The centering guide for centering the upper end of a well rod or tube forms part of a lifting frame, which in turn is a constituent of the elevator for suspending a string of well tubes or rods. The centering guide for centering the lower end of the rod or tube forms part of an automatic tong assembly for making up and breaking out joints of rods, which assembly is used with the claimed apparatus and also comprises the swivel head and the gripping device for gripping the upper end of the string of well tubes or rods. |

A main body is provided including a first side moveable laterally toward and away from an elongated member to be turned. The first side includes a pair of outwardly projecting arms whose base ends are pivotally supported from the body for swinging movement of the outer free ends of the arms toward and away from each other and the free arm ends include idle rollers journalled therefrom. A drive roller is journalled from the body inwardly of the first side thereof and elongated flexible drive member structure is trained about the drive and idle rollers. The reach of the drive member structure extending between the sides of the idle rollers remote from the drive roller is inwardly deflectable between the idle rollers when the free ends of the arms are swung apart by engagement of the elongated member to be turned with the drive member structure upon movement of the body toward the elongated member and the inwardly deflected reach of the drive member structure is tensioned about the elongated member when the free ends of the arms are swung toward each other to position the idle rollers on the side of the elongated member remote from the drive roller. |

An improved power-operated drill pipe spinner and an improved combination of a power-spinner and conventional drill pipe tongs are disclosed. The spinner comprises a pair of hydraulically actuated gripping jaws each provided with a power-driven, endless silent chain for spinning a drill pipe section into or out of threaded engagement with a drill string and a hydraulic system for operating the same. The spinner is operatively connected to a pair of conventional pipe tongs having a lever arm and articulated jaws connected thereto. The tong jaws have an open position for receiving the drill pipe section, a latch position in which the jaws engage in non-gripping relation about the pipe and a pipe gripping position in which the jaws grippingly engage the pipe. A hydraulic ram is mechanically connected between the spinner and tongs and in hydraulic circuit with the spinning chain drive to effect automatic shifting of the tongs jaws from the latched position to the pipe gripping position. |
