194 Quick disengaging valve actuator US801507 1977-05-31 US4135547A 1979-01-23 Neil H. Akkerman; Stephen R. Foster
An actuator is provided which is respondable to control fluid pressure for moving an operative means of a valve between open and closed positions. The actuator comprises a housing defining a cylindrical bore therewithin. In one form, a shaft is carried in the housing and is engagable with the operative means. Means define first and second effective piston areas and are carried by one of the shaft and the housing and are sealingly slidable along the other of the shaft and the housing, being longitudinally movable within the cylindrical bore. The apparatus has first and second fluid chambers companionly associated with the means defining the first and second effective piston areas within the bore for yielding a differential force across the means defining the first and second effective piston areas upon increase of fluid control pressure within the actuator. A continuously chargeable fluid accumulator means is in fluid communication with the second fluid chamber for storage of energy defined by fluid, preferably control fluid, compressible therein. Fluid passage means for transmitting fluid under pressure is provided to said first fluid chamber and to said accumulator means. Valve means ae movable between open and closed positions and communicate between the accumulator means and the fluid passage means to permit fluid control pressure changing of the accumulator chamber when the valve is in the open position and for preventing discharge of fluid pressure within the accumulator chamber when the valve is in the closed position. The valve is responsive to pressure differential between the accumulator chamber and the fluid passage means. The shaft is selectively shiftable longitudinally in a first direction to move the operative means to one of open and closed position by variation in fluid control pressure, and is shiftable to a second direction to move the operative means to the other of the open and closed positions upon subsequent variation in fluid control pressure. One of the shaft and operative means has slotted means thereon for transverse receipt of a companion engagement means on the other of the shaft and the operative means whereby the operative means and the shaft are thereafter in substantial longitudinal engagement point. The shaft and the operative means are disengageable by relative transverse shifting of the shaft and the operative means to remove the actuator from the valve.

200 Well bore blocking method US3771601D 1972-06-02 US3771601A 1973-11-13 GARRETT H
A blow-out preventer comprising a relatively large body means which is placed in a well bore. The body means is provided with a bore through which drill pipe and the like can extend. Traversing the bore through the body is a slideway in which is mounted a slide or blocking means. Using a suitable means of propulsion, the slide or blocking means can be moved from a position from within the slideway of non-engagement with the bore extending through the body to a position where the slide completely intersects or blocks the bore in the body. The propulsion means can be activated automatically or manually from the surface or automatically from below the surface. When the blowout preventer is used in well bores wherein drill strings or production tubing extend through the body, the apparatus is provided with a severing means which first acts to sever the pipe extending through the bore at which point the slide or blocking means is forced through the space between the severed end to completely seal off the well bore. In cases where no drill pipe or the like extends through the bore of the body means, the severing means can be dispensed with and the well bore blocked off simply by propelling the slide into the closed position, i.e. intersecting the bore.
