114 Subsea guidepost latch mechanism and method for using US247352 1988-09-21 US4828035A 1989-05-09 Terry L. McInturff
A subsea guidepost latch mechanism which latches a guidepost to a guidepost-receptacle by means of an external snap ring on the guidepost and an internal groove in the guidepost-receptacle. The snap ring is held in the groove by a collet inside the snap ring which is forced outward by an inner mandrel in the guidepost when upward tension is placed on the mandrel by a guideline. The guidepost is released from the guidepost-receptacle by releasing tension on the guideline which allows the mandrel to drop, releasing outward force on the collet and the snap ring. This allows the snap ring to be pulled out of the guidepost-receptacle groove.
115 Connection device for a guide line of an undersea installation US052235 1987-05-19 US4799816A 1989-01-24 Alain Lechon; Yves Le Luel
A device is provided for connecting a guide line of an undersea installation. Inside the body of the connector is fixed an axial rod supporting a locking jacket with fingers carried by resilient blades. The rod ends in a centering nose having a cut out, whereas, above the centering nose a sliding ring is mounted on the rod and is held in position by a shearable pin. The guide post has a bore whose divergent section forms with a divergent face a housing for the locking fingers. When, for unlocking the connection, a tractive force is exerted on the connector body, the pin is sheared and the ring, by sliding, opens the passage for the fingers, which allows the connector to be released and raised. This connector requires no angular position with respect to the guide rod and makes any disconnecting tool superfluous.
