C., C. HOSMER PACKER FOR IL WELLS Filed Sept. 15, 1922 a mww A 2 Patented Feb. 10, 1925.
UNITED STATES CHESTER C. HOSMER, OF HUNTINGTON BEAUH, CALIFORNIA.
PAGKER For. 011. watts.
Application filed September 15, 1922. Serial No. 588,391.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHESTER C. HosMnR, a i izen of the United States, residing at Huntington Beaclnin the county of Orange and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Packers for Oil Wells, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to deep well apparatus and more particularly to casing heads and it is an object of the present invention to provide an extremely simple, substantial and practicable device for quickly and effectively packing casing heads.
It is another object to provide a unitary packing device for easing heads and to provide a device that may be applied with or without the usual spider and that can be set in tight position by utilizing the weight of pipe to press down on the packing rings.
It is another object of this invention to provide a packer for a casing head, in which the packer may be compressed by the weight of the casing or by means independently of the weight of the casing, or by both ,jointly, as may be desired.
The claims of the present application are limited to the packer, the casing head structure shown and described is claimed in my application for Letters Patent Serial No. 748,l05,'filed November 6, 1924.
Other objects and advantages will be made manifest in the following specification of an embodiment of the invention illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a central, longitudinal section 1 through a suitable form of easing head showing the packing applied.
Figure 2 is a cross section through the casing showing the manner of applying the unitary packer.
Figure 3 is a central, longitudinal section through the packing unit on line 33 of Figures 4 and 5.
Figure 4 is a plan of the rubber gasket.
Figure 5 is a plan of the upper gasket collar.
Figure 6 is a perspective of one of the slip Jaws.
The invention is shown as applied to a well casing 2 which extends up through an outer casing 3. A seal is made between the upper end of the outer casing 3 and the inner casing 2 to prevent the escape of gas from the outer casing and this seal is formed by a fitting commonly called a casing head and which consists of a sleeve 5 having its lower end threaded at 6 on the casingB body forming a seat 8 and to form a ti ht joint with the casing 2 I have provide a. unitary packer.
This unitary packer consists of an intermediate flexible and deformable split rubber collar or gasket 10 of substantial proportions and which may be sprung open at one side, as clearly shown in Figure 2, so as to be passed around the casing 2 and then closed as is shown in Figure 1.
The deformable gasket 10 is adapted to be compressed between metallic wear taking parts consisting of an upper two-piece collar 11 and a lower two-piece wedge 12, the lower end of which is tapered to conform to the tapering seat 8 in the casing head.
In assembling the parts 10, 11 and 12, the line 17 between two confronting ends of the sections of the collar 11 is in vertical alinement with the lineseparating the two sections of the wedge 12, and the line 18 separating the other two ends of the sections 11, and the line 19 representing the split in the gasket 10, and the second line separating the two sections of the wedge 12 are in vertical alinement. The screws 14 and 14 are inserted through the parts 11 and 10 into the part 12, as shown in Fig. 3, and the screws are spaced a considerable distance apart and equal distances from the line 17, so that the elasticity of the gasket 10 between the screws 14 and 14 stretches and forms a hinge 20 to allow the unitary packer to open on the lines 18 so that it may be inserted on tothe casing 2 as shown in Fig. 2. The screws 14 and 14 are inserted near the faces forming the line 18, but the exact positions of these screws is immaterial.
Thus I have produced a unitary packer consisting of a sectional metallic: upper collar, a sectional metallic lower wedge shape collar, a split rubber gasket between the two collars. the parts being held together by screws and confronting ends of the metallic members being in line with the split in the rubber gasket so that the unitary packer may open to be removed from or inserted upon a casing or the like sidewise.
When it is desired to shut off the gas the unitary packer is slipped around the easing 2 and is thenpushed down the casing so that it will enter the chamber within the upper end of the casing head 5. The packer is pushed as tightly as may be possible and may be positively rammed to final position by the application of ordinary forms of tools or spiders, or it can be rammed by the weight of the inner casing 2.
WVhen the packer has been inserted in the casing head a clamping spider 15 is shifted down the casing 2 and threaded on the upper end of the sleeve 5. The clamping spider 15 may be utilized to run down on the upper collar 11 of the packer and thereby compress the gasket until it snugly embraces the inner casing 2.
The clamping spider 15, consists of a flat top p0rtion'15 provided with a tapered or inverted conical seat for the reception being toothed or roughened so as to of slips 16, which may be inserted between casing 2 and clamping spider 15, if desired, to support the casing 2 on said clamping spider 15. An internally threadedifiange 15 extends downwardly from the flat top portion 15 for engagement with the threaded upper portion of the sleeve 5. 15 designates an annular shoulder formed on the underside of the top portion 15 and the threaded flange 15 In the assembly shown in Fig. 1, it should be noted that the packer is compressed by the clamping spider 15 which has been screwed down upon the sleeve 5 until its annular shoulder 15 presses upon the two piece collar 11, causing the rubber gasket 10 to hug snu ly the casing 2 and forming a tight joint therewith.
In this assembly, it should be noted, the packer is not compressed by the weight of the casing 2.but by the screwing of the clamping spider 15 upon the sleeve 5. However, if desired, the weight of the casing may be used for compressing the packer by partly unscrewing the clamping spider 15 until its shoulder 15 is free of the split ring 11 of the packer.
In some cases it is desirable to suspend the casing 2 bythe clamping spider and the slips therein and this is accomplished by in-" troducing a number of wedge shaped slips 16 into the tapered seat 15 of the spider 15; the inner concave faces of the slips 16 rip the casing and hold the same. a g
The casing 2, after the removal of the slips 16 from the clamping spider 15, may rest by its coupling 2 dlrectl upon the split ring 11 of the packer.- It s ould be noted that in such a case the compression of the packer may be increased as desired, by screwing the clamping spider 15, which 1s now entirely unconnected of the casing 2, down upon the split ring 11 of the packer so that both the weightvof the casing 2' and the pressure exerted V by the clamping spider 15 upon the packer will compress the same. Furthermore, where the casing 2 ,a'ests directly by its coupling 2 upon the packer, the clamping spider 15 may be backed off the packer, leaving the packer compressed by the weight of the casing 2 7 alone.
Further embodiments, modifications and variations may be resorted to within the spirit of the invention as here claimed.
