UNDERREAMER Filed April 2, 192s 5 Ernes/ Kopp/ BY /f/wn/ WMM( A TTORNEYJ` Patented Aug. 12, 1930 PATENT OFFICE ERNEST KOPIEL, OF LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA UNDERREAMER Application led April 2, 1928. Serial No. 266,695.
This invention `relates to underreamers such as are used in enlarging the size of a hole. The embodiment illustrated herein is especially useful in well drilling, more par- 5 ticularly oil well drilling.
The objects of this invention are first, to provide an underreamer having a journal carrying member disposed in alignment with the drill stem and horizontal rotative cutters eccentrically disposed with respect to the axis of the member; second, to provide a tool of the character described having a plurality of such cutters staggered with relation to one another; third, to provide a tool of the character described having enlarging cutters which are eccentrically mounted on their ournals; fourth, to provide such a-tool with journals for the cutters disposed eccentric to the axis of the journal carrying member; fifth,
0 to provide a journal carrying member, journal parts and cutters, easy of assembly and disassembly; and sixth, to provide roller cutters arranged to insure the cutters taking hold of the formation with rotation of the journal carrying member.
Other objects and advantages will be made fully apparent from the following specification considered in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is an axial sectional view of an underreamer constructed in accordance with the invention; and Figs. 2 to 5 are sections taken n the lines correspondingly numbered in i 1. rihe underreamer shown herein is adapted to be connected in the drill string, and a drill or bit of any well known type may be connected to the string in advance of the underreamer. The body of the underreamer indicated by 6 is shown provided with a threaded pin 7 for connection to the rotary drill pipe. At 8 itis reduced in size and made polygonal in'cross-section, and at the lower end there is a threaded pin to which a box sub 10 may be connected A fragment of an ordinary drill or bit is indicated in Fig. 1 by 11. body yconstitutes a journal carrying member through which circulation passage 12 extends.
A bevelled guide or petticoat 13 is mount- The b ed upon the spindle 8, the bore of the petticoat corresponding in sha e to the shape of the spindle so that it may Ee slipped into position and thus held against rotation. Below the `guide and in Contact therewith is a bushing journal 14 having a bore such that it will be retained against rotation and may be slipped into position contiguous to the guide. The bushing journal is provided with a flange at one end and its cylindrical periphery is eccentric to the axis of the spindle. Rotatably mounted upon the bushing journal is a toothed roller cutter 15. The periphery of this cutter is eccentric to its jour.- nal. Contiguous to the journal 14 and at the end opposite to the flange is a washer 16. The roller cutter has its end rounded. Below the washer 16 is a bushing journal 17 like journal 14 but mounted upon the spindle so that it is staggered with respect to journal 14. A roller cutter 18 is rotatably mounted upon the journal 17 and is of similar character toroller 15 but preferably ofsmaller over-all diameter. A washer 19 is disposed against the lower end of the journal 17 The journals and washers just described are duplicates, but are mounted so that they are eccentrically offset on opposite sides of the spindle. The lower faces of the cutters are bevelled or chamfered as indicated by 20 and 21.
Below washer 19 is a bushing journal 22 which has an eccentric bearing surface staggered with relation to journal 17. Rotat- -ably mounted on journal 22 is a roller cutter 2.3. This roller cutter has a periphery concentric to the journal bearing surface. The lower face is chamfered. and a washerv 24 retains it in position upon its journal. Below washer 24 is an eccentric bushing journal 25, upon which is journalled a concentric roller cutter 26 similar to cutter 23 and preferably of smaller diameter. A washer 27 holds the cutter in position. Bushing journal 25 is staggered with relation to ushing journal 22. Below washer 27 -is another eccentric bushing journal 28 having a, roller cutter 29 concentrically mounted thereon. The journal 28 is offset with respect to the journal 25, and the cutter 29 is similar to cutter26, but preferably of smaller diameter. Below journal 28 is a washer 30 for holding the cutter in position upon'its journal. It'
will be noted that the overall diameter of the rollers preferably progressively decrease from top to bottom.
A retaining ring 31 is disposed on the spindle and in engagement with washer 30. Set screws 32 serve to hold the retaining ring in position. Mounted upon the sub 10 is a sleeve 33 having a recess to accommodate the retaining ring. This sleeve has an internal thread in engagement with the thread on the exterior of sub 10.
The parts of the underreamer may be assembled by slipping into position the petticoat guide 13, then the journal 14 with its roller cutter thereon, and next the washer 16. The remaining journals and cutters are 'then slipped into position, their washers beingl interposed, and finally retaining ring 31 is slipped over the spin e. This ring is then iixed in position by means of the set Next the sub 10 with the sleeve l screws. 33 is-screwed upon the end `of the spindle and the sleeve then adjusted. Obviously various mechanical refinements of construction may be resorted to, only the essentials of structure being shown herein.
The tool is collapsed by turning the eccentric cutters with their eccentric throw or longest arm opposite to the longest eccentric arms of their journals. In this position the tool may be lowered through the usual casing present in oil wells. When the tool has passed the lower end of the casing or shoe, the drill string is rotated. This will cause the cutters by reason of their contact with the side. of the hole to be rotated and eventually the eccentric cutters 15l and 18 reach the positions shown in Figs. 2 and 3 thereby enlarging the hole. By reason of the bevelled lower faces, rotation will be insured as the tool is advanced. In withdrawing the tool, it is lifted and rotation continued until the eccentric cutters properly position themselves with their longest arms opposite to the longest arms of their journals.
