4 Claims.
This invention relates to oil well masts or derricks, it being understood that wherever the word mast is used herein it is to be interpreted as meaning only an oil well derrick. I
It is often desirable to move a mast of this character from one well to another, especially since the mast mayeno longer serve any purpose after the well has been brought in. However, it is a long and expensive task to disassemble a derrick and trucle its component parts to anew location and then re-erect it. On .the other hand, it is also very difllcult to lower a completely assembled mast from upright to prone position and then transport it as a unit to a new site.- This is especially true where the terrain over 25 along the ground before erection, and the height of which can bereadily altered at will.
In accordance with this invention a mast having any desired number of legs'is formed of a plurality of independent sections, preferably threejwhich can be independently assembled on the ground and which are detachably connected Y together when the mast is in operative position. Preferably, all of these sections are first fabricated along the ground, and what is later to become the lower ends of two of the sections is hinged to a support in such positions that when those two sections are stood upright they cooperate to form a complete lower portion of a mast. The supporting member is connected to 40 or mounted on apparatus for transporting it across an 'oil field. During transportation the longer of the two hinged sections of the mast is carried over the ground in prone position behind the supporting member. To decrease the length 4 of the entire apparatus, the third section, which forms the'- top portion of the mast, is telescoped in the prone hinged section and its rear end is supported by detachable wheels or the like.
To erect the mast, the shorter hinged section is first mounted in upright position which can be done without diillculty because of its relatively small size and weight. After that and during transportation this section can be left in upright position or can be lowered if overhead clearance makes'it necessary. A cable is strung over mounted on the supporting member.
pulleys in the upper end of this section and connected 'to the prone sections and to a drum After the pronesections are extended and connected rigidly together, the cable is reeled'in, whereby it pulls 5 readily taken down by reversing the procedure just mentioned. The lower'portion of the mast preferably has substantially parallel legs so that interchangeable sections with similar legs can be mounted thereon between it and the tapered top section to easily increase the height of the mast without increasing the area of its base.
The preferred embodiment'of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 is a side view of my mast structure as it appears in its portable state; Fig. 2 is a side view of the mast in upright operative position; and Fig. 3 is a similar view of the mast with a section added to it to increase its height.
Referring toFig'. 1 of the drawings, a supporting platform I is shown mounted on the rear end of a truck or tractor 2 from which it extends rearwardly. Connected to this support so as to be movable therewith is an oil well derrick or. mast shown in collapsed condition for transportation across an oil field. The mast is made in at least three separate fabricated sections. adapted to be detachably connected together into an upright unitary mast such as shown in Fig. 2. The upright section shown in ,Fig. 1 is relatively short and, 'as a four-legged mast is'illustrated, it includes the lower portions 3 of two of the mast .legs and suitable diagonal bracing members I .and 5 connected thereto. The adjacent ends of these sections, referred to herein as the hinged section, includes the lower portions 9 of the other two mast legs which are hinged in brackets: II
to the rear end of thesupporting platformfor a purpose to be described later. This section is also provided with short leg sections I: which if become the central portions of the first two'legs when the mast is erected. Legs 9 and I! are connected by girts J3 and I4, and by diagonal bracing members '16. The remaining section of the mast, referred to herein as the top or telescoping section, is
bounded by the ppe Portions I! of all four legs inner ends of top legs I! are adapted to be slidable longitudinally within legs 9 and I2. To prevent the flanges of the girts and braces of the telescoping sections from interfering with each other, the flanges of the hinged section extend outwardly, while those of the top section extend inwardly.
The outer end of the telescoping sections of the mast is carried during transportation by a outer end of the top-section which is temporarily secured to the hinged section in'any suitable manner in order to support it. Platform i is pivotally mounted on tractor 2 bymeans of a king pin I! so that it can turn relative thereto,
and to further aid manipulation of the telescoped sections of the mast during transportation, the two-wheel truck is provided with any suitable means 20 for steering it, similar to the tiller truck at the rear end of a hook and ladder fire truck. If lack of adequate overheadclearance makes it necessary, the short upright section of the mast mayalso be lowered during transportation. For this purpose the lower ends of leg 3 are hinged in brackets 2| to the supporting platform, and braces 8 are removable to permit this section to swing backwardly and downwardly to the broken line position shown in Fig. 1.
In accordance with this invention the short section of the mast, when braced in uprightmainder of the mast is raised after it has been extended along the ground. Accordingly, pulleys 23 are suspended from the top of the short mast section, and the cable, which is anchored at one end to the outer end of the telescoping section, is led over these pulleys, back around two blocks.
24 mounted on the outer end of the telescoping section and through this section to a winding drum 26 to which its free end is connected. Of course, other methods of reeving the cable can be used. a
Before the prone sections of the mast are raised, the telescoping section is disconnected from the hinged section and pullediibackwardly to the broken line position shown in Fig. l. The adjoining ends. of the mast legs are then bolted together at 21 to form a single rigid-prone mast section. During this process the outer end of the hinged section may be supported on jacks 28. The tiller truck is then removed from the mast and a source of power is connected to drum 26. Preferably, this power is supplied by tractor 2 through a sprocket chain 29. .Rotationof the drum winds'up cable. 22 and thereby swings the prone section of the mast upwardly on hinges II and into upright position against the upright short sectiomasindicated by the broken lines in Fig. 1 above the supporting platform, These two sections are then rigidly connected together by any suitable clamping means to form a unitary upright mast; as shown in Fig. 2. To take'the weight of the upright mast off the wheels'of the tractor, the supporting platform is preferably supported on jacks 30.
During .the raising of the long section of the derrick in this manner the short section acts as an independent mast for supporting the cable, but as soon as the two sections come together they merge into a single mast or derrick with the short section helping to support the taller one. By merely reversing the procedure just described, the tall section of the mast can be lowered to the ground without difficulty, and the top section disconnectedfrom the hinged section and telescoped therein. After the tillerv truck is added to the telescoping section and the various jacks have been removed the entire apparatus is ready to be transported to a new location either with the short section of the mast in upright or lowered position. The hinge connection between the telescoped sections and the supporting platform permit those sections to accommodate themselves to the surface of the ground they pass over. The-relatively short length of "the prone sections during transportation'makes the apparatus easier to handle, prevents the mast from sagging, and also prevents it from scraping on a high spot of ground between the tiller truck and the tractor. a
It is another feature of this invention that the legs of the short section and hinged section, as seen in Fig. 2, are'substantially parallel rather than being inclined upwardly as is the usual case. Because of this the height of the mast can be easily increased by merely inserting braced leg sections 3| of the desired length, as shown in Fig. 3, between the top portion of the mast and the underlying portion. The section or sections that are thus added are preferably prefabricated so as to require but little time in the field to insert them between the hinged and top sections of the mast before they are raised from the ground. The three mainsections of the mast can therefore be made of standard size, and the height of the mast varied at will by. standard insert sections. The reason for thus increasing the height of the derrick is to provide more room for racking drill pipe therein, or to provide room for longer sections of drill pipe. As is well known, every time a new section of drill pipe is added to a rotary drill the drilling operation must be stopped. Consequently, it is desirable to use as long lengths as possible to decrease the number of shut-downs. Furthermore, whenever a new set of pipes has to beracked in the mast it is also necessary to shut down the drilling, so that x it is desirable to rack as many pipes at once as is possible. The number and length of pipes that can be racked in a mast is controlled by its taper which limits head room for the pipes; therefore, if the tapered portion of the mast is raised its pipe capacity is increased. For example, thereis room to rack more pipes, 32 in the tall mast of Fig. 3 than in the shorter-one of Fig. 2. Likewise,
longer pipes 33 can be racked in the former'than V is expected to drill a deep well it is then desirable I6 According to this invention this portion, said upright portion being adapted to to increase the height of the mast for the reasons just given.
Another advantage of this invention is that,
due to the formation of the mast in the indeconstruction of my invention, and have illus-' trated and described'what I now consider to represent its best embodiment. However, I desire to have it understood that, within the scope of the appended claims, the invention may be practiced otherwise than as specifically illustrated and described.
