Description

UNIVERSAL TORSIONAL, FLEXlKlG AND DEFLECTIONAL COMBINATION TOOLS

DESCRIPTION The Present Invention

Before there is much mention of its construction and drilling industry application, this material necessitates the broadening of the spirit and scope of the first universal which will be in abstract form only, with appropriate support within the draft. The device gives rise to a new mechanical power train drive system by utilizing the torsion bar inside a concave, convex rotor or drive shaft with or without an orifice through its centre. The device provides a simplistic and inexpensive power train drive system for other mechanical vehicles. The new design eliminates machining and foundry costs and provides a smaller mass that gives comparable strength with fewer parts. Also the design utilizes the concave, convex shape to act as its own steady bearing. In the same frame this new mechanical procedure gives rise to new technology for the agricultural industry, to control the dangerous use of pesticides, insecticides and herbicides in a way that has never been implemented before. By using the said torsion bar inside the rotor or shaft one could extend the scope to the present agro implement known as the Rod Weeder, where the new device assumes the name of "Snaps Dragon". Here the need for great strength along with rigidity and flexibility can well be appreciated for it to cover various differing land masses.

By using numerous said rods collated in a closely set parallel arrangement in a new implement form, one could take, for example, the surface layer (of 1" or more) and transfer it up a tightly set inclined plane of rods of about 18" in height. The soil is then transferred onto a horizontal plate of parallel set rods with a given spacing set at right angles to the soil flow. A rotating sod buster could be placed above the entry to the horizontal rod bed to handle any sod lumps. Any mass of a certain diameter, such as stones or trash would pass over the rotating parallel rods for further processing and/or collection. Any said mass of a certain diameter or the small particles would pass through said rods onto another lower layer of rotating rods that could be round or splined and would act as crushers. The compression force of the crushers would be controlled by a screw, spring or hydraulic means. The procedure would crush all the seeds, larva, sprouts, parasites and disseminate any fungal matter within this pronated soil. This crushed matter would be returned to the soil as nutrients for the wanted crops. The trash that passes over the top could be shredded and returned to the soil, or collected and incinerated with additional equipment. A rock basin can be incorporated behind the rods to catch any rocks that pass over the top of the machine.

Small pebbles approximately 5 mm in diameter would fall through and be pulverized. The device would till the soil in one operation as well as destroying the depletive organisms, and returning them to the soil as nutrients. A Seed and/or Fertilizer attachment could be sequentially mounted in front or behind the tillage rods, that would function like a spit injector with a deflection head

SUBSTITUTE SHEET using the Power Take Off to drive a compressor, or a cam operated compression jacket similar to a small air gun, calibrated to apply seed and/or fertilizer according to its ground speed. The seed and/or fertilizer would be applied in an organized shotgun pattern. This device would have easy access to wet lands, and give a more even depth of penetration of the seeds for growing and harvesting.

This would then reduce repetitive cultivation, as the land would only need to be worked once. This method tills, seeds, fertilizes, packs and field treats the land in one operation. This would also limit the spraying of hazardous chemicals that are presently used to control these depletive organisms, thereby reducing the contamination effect on the environment and the poisoning of the food chain.

Consumer demand is growing for this type of organic sterile farming as they are becoming more aware of what these chemicals are doing to their health.

It is a costly drain on the agricultural industry as chemists and agronomists engineer new toxic chemicals or genetically alter seeds to attain more resistant crop strains. This may be the most practical solution and the most intelligent way to control the problem.

Other options can be made available to the pick up part of this agricultural machine, to harvest any and all root crops, from potatoes and onions to carrots, mushrooms, pineapples or celery, etc, as well as pick up and save any fallen, lodged or hail damaged crops by windrowing them into swathes for convenient pick up. To add yet another novel dimension to the Universal as is or with some slight alteration, the device could be placed in a concrete pillar that is split in half horizontally and where the collar may also be split vertically and the said collar would be held together with bearinated wedges and would have the ability to slip out of these locking casing with relevant ease and fall back to the original position. Here the bottom pillar would have the ability to slip and the torsion bar would keep the top pillar fast and steady while it absorbs the whip lash strain. The device in this form would have the ability to absorb the shock wave of a major earthquake. Now that the Universal's former description has been expanded to include these new departures. The most notable change for the construction and drilling industry will be illustrated and described in full, where an orifice, or rather a channel for air or fluid, is provided through the complete body of the Universal, including the torsion bar or mandrel of the device/s. This changes the entire scope and intent of the invention. Where the device provides a new method for pouring concrete or other fluid for the construction industry and also opens up new avenues for the drilling industry. Where the device in the first part, known as the Chthonic Universal invention, relates to a new drilling tool which greatly enhances the drilling process providing new approaches and procedures.

The Universal in the first part is designed to take the cyclic stressing out of the drill string especially in horizontal applications. The drill collars or compression drill pipe are invariably susceptible to this type of action and by absorbing the whiplashing and shock, the universal

SUBSTITUTE SHEET prevents the box and/or the pin of the drill collar from fracturing which in turn prevents the separation of the drill string. In the case of directional holes, the universal is used as a flexing coupling. This makes it possible to eliminate some of the collars, and to break them down into shorter flexing subs, to enhance the assembly's geosteering applications. The Universal can also be adapted, so that an increase or decrease of deflectional inclination can be achieved, allowing for shorter and sharper azimuth. Also the drill assembly can be wrapped on a "Mamba" spool and by using numerous Universal combinations within the drill string, it can also drill by rotating from this spool, and drill smaller diameter well bores with greater horizontal reach that cannot be achieved with present drilling applications. Also by using said Universals to break up the drill string, especially close to the bit, with the aid of Universal sockets for the mud motor or the MWD (Measurement While Drilling) tool, the whole system would be able to follow the well bore like a chain string. This changes the whole mechanical procedure of present drilling methods. This technology now opens up new avenues of oil drilling, or mining ventures, such as tunnelling through mountains, or oil and gas ventures that can be drilled and/or casing liners run by

Stalleon injector simultaneously, or separately simply by crimping and rolling flat casing or liner, off a spool into a cylindrical form that interlocks, or welds, providing a continuous jointless casing or pipeline, aided by possible winch. This also has the ability to mine under the sea for new transit corridors, or provides an easier cheaper way to implement new methods of channel construction for civil sewer projects.

Also with a spool and additional tools it could incorporate an injector for pumping buoyant heavy duty LCM (Lost Circulation Material). This invites a more simplistic means to salvage submersed vessels. These tools would facilitate the off-loading of a sunken oil tanker by tapping into them and pumping them full of cork or balsam chips. This could raise the Bismarck, or fish up a nuclear sub.

The device in the second part is known as the Platonic Centralizer, and by using parts of the same principals, the device can be used as a counter balancing self/centering bit sub. The said device can be used to keep the bit on a true course by its eccentric oscillation, here the bit would bite into its own deflection and would chew through the formation true. A helical reamer or stabilizer above the tool would help hold the tool true. This would eliminate drifting and dog legging in the well bore.

The tools surging ability is obtained by the offsetting weight and pitch that is exerted on the cones. This procedure would then enhance the bits penetration performance. In the third part, known as the Spade Glider, it acts as a directional guidance deflectional tool. With the assistance and use of the Chthonic Universal, greater inclinations can be achieved in relatively shorter distances. This can shorten the well bore's actual length, and makes it possible to tentaculate, and snake, and implement weeping channels into the pay zone at or near bottom without pulling out of the well bore. The use of a penetrator tool here with a special acting floating hydraulic piston, or a release port sequence valve, could be incorporated to facilitate the

SUBSTITUTE SHEET bit. The piston would encup the three micronated open ended drill strings assemblies of the same mentioned design inside a penetrator tool. This tool would force the smaller drill strings out and into the formation. These stationary drill strings would rotate the bit by low pressure air or hydraulic motors to facilitate cutting. The assembly would be guided through its own cylindrically shaped head. This would then cut a weeping channel of about 4 centimeters in diameter and up to 10 meters in length that could be duplicated numerous times to bleed the reservoir. The device could retract and be reset by reverse circulation or by a controlled bypass valve. This provides a unique milking system especially for heavy oil. The device has the ability to function in an open well bore and with additional consideration, from within the casing itself thereby forcing the three smaller drill strings out into the formation, thus eliminating the former perforating and tracing procedure. This could be done while the rig is still positioned, or a similar tool could be implemented for the completed wells by the use of service rigs, or wire line equipment. The whole device could travel vertically, horizontally or laterally in geological seams in any direction to find or to measure the value of any new deposits. Another great advantage of the tool enables the operator to use a rotary or stationary drill assembly. It has the ability to follow a true horizontal course with the use of a MWD manual or electronic steering tool for drilling through mountains or under the sea providing a pilot hole that is later reamed out. It can also straighten out a deviated well bore and place the well bore back on target or it can side track obstacles, and go back to the original course of the well bore. In addition to exposing spoils for exploitation, the tool can be used to follow an earthquake fault, by drilling horizontally or along fault planes throughout an entire fault zone, and if desired, the whole zone could be tentaculated. The ability to introduce surfactants can be achieved by tracing the said well bore/s with acid and/or steam, this could achieve greater areal dispersion for the surfactants throughout the fault zone. This could substantially reduce the destructive forces that build up between the tectonic plates slipping past, along, over or under each other, thereby reducing the shock effects of any earthquake.

One of the devices greatest advantages, is that it makes horizontal drilling by a rotating system possible at great cost savings over slow, expensive mud motor applications. Another advantage of the tool is its ability to increase, decrease or change direction without being pulled out of the well bore for adjustments.

In the fourth part known as an Eccentric Pulsator, it can be used as a well bore opener and can enlarge the diameter of the production zone, or well bore, without milling out the well bore proceeding it. The device is designed in the first part to absorb the whiplashing effects of the drill string, especially the collars while rotary drilling. Especially in a directional well bore or where there is sharp inclination or dog leg that causes cyclic stressing, this can lead to drill string failure by fracturing the box and pin of an individual joint, that leads to its separation from the drill assembly. This is usually a costly well bore problem. The Universal absorbs this stressing through its flexible torsion bar or mandrel held together by semi-spherical sockets inside a

SUBSTITUTE SHEET casing. This makes for a smoother running drill string, and protects the well bore walls, and prevents well bore battering and sloughing. Half moon keys can be implanted in this embodiment, and the other devices, to produce a coaxial or non-coaxial movement. A new departure from conventional drilling can be made with the Universal by applying a number of said Universals with, or without the moon keys. This also allows the drill string to be wrapped on a spool. Drilling this way can be more appreciated by a stationary system with mud or electric motors. This would greatly reduce the size and bulk of drilling rigs which is more practical in drilling applications where the drill stem size is reduced with smaller and fewer offset sizes in the well bore diameter. The tool in the second part uses a helical reamer or stabilizer to help control the device, which purpose is to keep the bit on a true course to the intended target. In a vertical well bore, it also prevents directional drifting and doglegging. The torsion bar may be of a solid or of a spring steel composition, with or without moon keys. These keys could be used in a double or quadricipital arrangement to produce the eccentric oscillation. This would allow the bit to swing back from hard to soft or soft to hard formations until penetrating into a more stable environment.

This problem is usually encountered in geological situations that have a diagonal inclination. Here the bit would bite into this inclination instead of being deflected off course. At the same time the surging motion caused by the eccentric oscillation force is transmitted to the drilling cones. This slight chiselling vibrational action on the well bore face, would enhance the bits drilling ability.

In the third part the tool is used for vertical, inclined, or horizontal drilling applications. The device can be used in rotary or stationary drill string systems. It can reduce the well bores length or azimuth. It has the ability to tentaculate, and snake a reservoir or pay zone and with a penetrator tool that provides the well bore with weeping channels for superior extraction methods without tripping from the well bore. It also has the ability to increase, decrease, or change angle in any direction without tripping out of the well bore, on both drill string systems. It can also reduce the cost and time of any drilling operation, and it has the ability to drill a slant hole without the use of a slant rig. The tool can be set in a fixed position or can be adjusted while in the drilling mode. The said device in any combination can work on a conventional rig with or without hydraulic pull downs or it can be wrapped on a spool. Both systems could drill vertical or accurate directional wells, that could change direction while drilling. This makes it possible to follow geological seams. Its greatest of all advantage is that it provides the easiest way and provides the most simplistic means to gain the best tactical advantages to reap the greatest benefit in the pursuit of exploration and development. The tool can use a stationary or rotary system, it can use mud, air or both in any combination for discharging the cuttings. It has the option of surface or bottom hole drive using mud or electric motors, with or without hydraulic pull downs to push or pull the string from a specially designed spool with a hooded cover that facilitate the appropriate weight

SUBSTITUTE SHEET on the bit. When actuated with hydraulic pull downs, it would utilize a bearinated rotary swivel with hydraulically operated dies to sequentially grip the drill string and have a high speed interchange on the reverse side of the strain.

It can also use a right or a right/left swivel combination where the reversing swivel would have the capability of utilizing a sequence valve or hydraulic compensator to set dowell pins in place to facilitate its reversing procedure, so the drill assembly can be pushed or pulled like a spiral auger within a horizontal drill string, to distances greater than ten times the present normal drilling capabilities. The spool on this scale would be positioned on top of a substructure which would be anchored to facilitate the mechanical hydraulics of the unit. The B.O.P. (Blow Out Preventer) could be countersunk for oil exploration pursuits. This is a completely new departure in deviational or directional drilling that makes these new ventures possible. This is the eye of the Tiger and the cat's meow in drilling technology, where the only other options available for furthering the drilling enhancements, would incorporate the bit. This process would involve a high pressure aqua-jet system operating from a spool drive or a continuous flex drill string stacked in a coil arrangement by itself or with one or more smaller diameter flex lines with or without it said universals or its torsion bar inside the first said drill string that would act or assist said bit, and have a similar larger outer high pressure dimensional fluid system that would encapsulate the inner line with an annular fluid pressure for offsetting the inner flex lines fluid pressure and also act to discharge the cuttings. The whole system could be internally faced with an inner malleable tubing. This bit would also be internally coned shaped with three roller cones that incorporates four jets, one from its centre and three that are recessed in an offset vertical perimeter design in a diamond faced core shape bit, with roller cones that cut out the bit's perimeter, while the roller cones chew the central cone core out. To increase the size of the well bore through this pilot hole, a larger bullet shaped bit with an aqua cutting design would rotate spirally. The lateral roller shaped cones then cut and mesh the cuttings with the assistance of a helical reamer. These two bits, the master core surgent and the master ream surgent provide the means for a continuous deep or long trajectory bore well. The master core surgent alone can facilitate small diameter bore wells or hard rock mining, or seismic drilling ventures. For smaller applications a diamond faced bullet shaped bit could be incorporated with both the aqua cutting and washout jets, which would be sequentially located and integrally recessed within said bit.

One could also assume that these tools in any combination with the rest of the bottom hole assembly, have set the stage for new procedure that could enhance the mechanical dominance of the military, or spear head space construction projects. In the fourth part the device is used to open the well bore to increase the hole diameter in the pay zone, without effecting or altering the rest of the well bore. Here the design of the device is altered so that the torsion bar is running in a fixed 360 degree off-centre cycle. This action makes the bit widen its diameter in its own well bore.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET Description of Prior Art

In so much as this is an improvement and expansion over American Pat.# 4151, 728 where the inventor is the same person, here the object of the changes are necessary to improve the performance and abilities of the first patent and later on to add to the expansion of said device for the construction and drilling industries.

In the first part the use of flexible couplings in a sleeve arrangement have been used in a stationary drill string system before to give minimal flex for horizontal well bore applications. They have very limited inclination characteristics, and have no shock absorbing qualities. In the second part there are no special tools for preventing drift, except for using lighter weight on the bit and/or a faster rotation of the drill bit.

In the third part there are bent subs, set at predetermined degrees with optional pads that offset the bit. These are somewhat awkward deflecting tools that make it hard to drill accurate directional wells with a stationary drill string and impossible with a rotary string. In the fourth part the usual way to increase the size of a well bore is with a reamer or larger bit, or by whipstocking. This usually involves increasing the complete well bore size using a lot of time with little significant advantage. Objects Of The Present Invention

The present invention provides new ways and means for exploring or producing hard-to-crack targets and tap into these spoils. These new tools are designed solely to enhance performance, to reduce time and cost in the exploration pursuit of finding and producing new spoils. These tools now allow for new applications that were never before possible. These tools, with their superior performance abilities are cheaper to use, easier to maintain, and safer to operate. These tools are more environmentally sound because they involve less bulk and equipment. They can also facilitate the transportation of new oil and gas lines, or the construction of new water and sewage networks, without causing any surface damage, or traffic disruption. It makes it possible to implement new ventures in tunnel construction through the mountains, or under the sea, by using at first a pilot hole and later a reamer to enlarge the diameter of a tunnel. This makes it possible to cross such obstacles as the Bering Strait with a pilot hole or from Hong Kong to mainland China, giving rise to a new transit corridor to the old world by high speed train or other containerized mode. The devices miniaturized on a spool could be utilized for seismic or prospect drilling or one could take advantage of this drilling ability for geothermal and like applications.

They also reduce the awkward performance of conventional drilling by reducing the bulk and the manpower and current outdated equipment. The device also gives rise to other technology that involves space application drilling. The device can be incorporated in such a way with electric or hydraulic sequences so that drilling by remote control is a very practical event even from one satellite to another. In a space pursuit a specially designed containerized unit designed for the cuttings, incorporates a spool, and uses compressed gases. This could drill by remote control for coring or other drilling purposes.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET This makes it possible to incorporate anchors on a satellite or their axis for construction ventures. It also makes it possible to tow by line or to spot a small asteroid or satellite with precision, into the path of an on-coming asteroid or errant satellite, that is on a collision course with earth, where the collision would disintegrate both asteroids or satellites into harmless particles. A play like this would place man behind the eight ball in space.

Defensive application of the device could be used in such ventures as to build tactical obstacle courses strategically located, and played out, by expedient remote control action. A horizontal well bore could be drilled at an exact size and depth in secret and loaded with massive explosive powers that when ignited would create an instant massive channel code named "Cinderella", that would be impossible to cross dispelling any attack and virtually deadlocking the mechanics of a ground assault.

Yet another major concern for the defense department is the ability of said device to drill horizontally with a relevant diameter to distances in excess of ten miles. This has the potential to undermine and penetrate a security bunker of whatever nature or a nuclear command centre, this could abort the combined forces firing capabilities. This would give the only credence to a first strike manoeuvre, where here the security was never before questioned and/or considered, for the lack of this new drilling technology.

Yet another concern of this new technology could be appreciated if the devices were developed in micro form. By using the latest guidance technology for accuracy, one would be able to penetrate in a new way, various security bunkers by accurately drilling through, or within, thick walls in any direction or angle and deposit sensory devices. This same technology also could be instrumental in new machining or medical procedures, that could drill a controlled well bore in any direction or angle that is presently impossible or impractical by conventional means. These tools also give rise to other technologies that involve drilling. In establishing a construction tool, one can rationalize the device's ability if it can climb up the inside or outside of a flag pole. Here the potential ability arises for the device to form concrete pillars. By utilizing at the base a securing mechanism for a drill string assembly that could be driven from a spool. The string assembly then could climb up a orphanated casing that is encapsulated by preformed rebar and enclosed in an anchored cylindrical form, the form would also possess a built in expansionable feature. The string assembly would be able to climb said form and discharge concrete on a massive scale. The assembly would have the ability to rotate and/or have free movement so as to remain free when the concrete sets. For even greater height, the said first part of the outside form could be lifted by hydraulic rams that grip the outside form, this would raise the expansionable form part to higher levels and still secure the entire form unit. Newly formed rebar could be implanted from the top and the cementing procedure continued. If one wanted, this newly formed pillar could be used as an anchor for a mega form. This new technology could use a number of constructional plans, that affords this new ability for the first time to functionally work from the top down.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET This would have a significant cost saving advantages over present construction methods not previously possible or affordable. It would have significant architectural ramifications never before possible. This new technology in the construction of small or mega tower complexes, for example, the Toronto CN Tower, which could be done simply and quickly at a fraction of its original cost.

In a greater expanded scope where it may only be necessary for a foundation and a first stage to be set, the construction is quite relevant to build an axis pole on earth by means of the Chthonic Universal which could easily be determined by engineering effort. Simply by utilizing the first pole in the play as an anchor and utilizing numerous other spool units of larger dimensions in a more dramatic scale working in concert to the former mentioned format.

When the first stages are completed at the bottom, the final stages could be implemented from space where one could start with a small solid or orphanated shaft that would extend into space that would be assisted by a large satellite acting as a guidance anchor or holding race to steady the string, this then could placed into the bottom first stages and then rotated. This first string would be used mostly as a brake for the overshot of larger casings that would follow before the final stages take shape. Another approach from the base would utilize a large core tower of concrete or steel, supported by an annular tower with a diameter of approximately 20 Kilometers that is structurally reinforced and orphanated with breathing passages. The shoring could be raised and would be telescopically recessed becoming smaller on every rise. This annular tower could be filled with a compound mud like material, or water piped from the Ross Sea, that would freeze solid providing a permanent structural base. The south geographic pole already stands 2800 M above sea level providing a secure foundation for the axis pole. This material then establishes the first practical blue prints for a project of this magnitude. With the axis poles in place, the technology already exists to attract an unlimited supply of hydrogen by the use of Y zeolites, magnetism or other means. Here the power would be supplied by ground or solar panels. This means that large diameter casing units could be extended into space without associated structural difficulty. This as the planet orbits around the sun some 942 million kilometers in distance at a velocity of 30 kilometers per second, providing the necessary inertial collection trap for the low density hydrogen. One could also realize a higher density and volume of hydrogen by pumping water up the axis pole in a hydrostatic pipeline and in a similar scope converting or atomizing it by a simple catalytic converter at the appropriate altitude. The water then could be traced singularly or plurally with electrical charges in this lower gravitational environment and with the aid of zeolites and/or magnetism one could separate the hydrogen from the oxygen along with the associated minerals and elements such as platinum, gold, etc. It may only be necessary to use the catalytic converter with aids at the right altitude when the specific gravity simply becomes critical, a Newtonion law. Here the hydrogen releases from the oxygen. This is then pumped down the stasis pipeline to the base. Both ways could be done cheaply with enormous volume once the pole has been established. The axis poles also provides the means not only to feed the energy supply that will become critical but it also can

SUBSTITUTE SHEET detoxify the planet of the fluorocarbons, etc. preventing the green house effect. By using an invert "Y" joint in the line one could pump the toxins into space, here the planet could also be protected from ultraviolet contamination, by using ultraviolet reflective particles. Simply by pumping massive amounts of this material into space, creating a filtering space blanket one could also illuminate asteroids or satellites with similar material with this technology and place them into perspective orbits to light and heat the northern hemisphere; this has a multitude of ramifications for the earth.

Also one can see the relevant benefits of a solidly placed space station, in contrast and in comparison to what is now exists, with its noted ease and simplicity of access. With the aforementioned axis pole, the launch of space ships for further ventures could be appreciated because of the low gravitational drag associated with said access pole. Launch pads would be a complementary part of the axis pole. This gargantuan project would be the biggest contribution to space construction that could ever be realized. This would place science and the scientist on a new and positive plane and in a better setting. The axis pole supplies a multi-purpose structure of opportunity that not only includes the commercial mining and milking the heavens, but a construction base for future development and an access for travel and exploration, with dynamic payload capabilities. This may be man's only opportunity to construct the world's eighth wonder where the said code name of this axis pole without challenge shall be named "The Sally Phalli". One could at will virtually Hop Scotch from this platform right into the cosmos, with the greatest of practicality and ease because of its near zero gravity platform. A physical depiction of this project of this magnitude can be visualized by placing a 2" spike on a 16 foot snowball. A project of this magnitude demands the participating solidarity of all the associated countries, for it to reach absolute reality, because of the mammoth cost. One of the most significant ramifications of a colossal project of this magnitude would be its constructive employment mandate, with all its combined disciplines necessary for its actual realization. This action alone balances the whole social morality of such a project, which in turn truly signifies a Sieg Hiel for mankind.

Detailed Discussion Of Drawings

Reference will now be had to accompanying drawings in detail, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts.

Fig. 1 The present invention in the first part is illustrated in Figure 1 by the numeral (14) and in this first embodiment numeral (1) indicates an air or fluid orifice channel throughout the entire

Universal coupling. Numeral (2) and (3) are the sub-housings, where (2) is generally thought of as the top and (3) the bottom of the device. (2) and (3) are integral with (4), the semi-spherical sockets which are confined within the casing collar (9). Both semi-spherical sockets (4) are allowed to gyrate within the casing collar (9).

(8) represents the square or octagonal shaped torsion bar that is hollowed out to allow air or fluid to pass through its centre. It also transmits the torque between the two opposing semi-spherical sockets (4) and (8). The torsion bar is set into both of these semi-spherical sockets by way of a square or octagonal conical recess indicated by numeral (13), and where the torsion bar is secured. The half moon keys indicated by numeral (5), are anchored into (4) and their faces rest on the square or octagonal torsion bar (8) to allow more movement or play in the Universal if desired. Where numeral (6) indicates a circular air or fluid seal between the torsion bar (8), and the semi-spherical sockets (4). The said device functions by fulcrumating and transmitting torque between (2), and (3), by way of (4), and by way of the square or octagonal torsion bar (8). This play or movement bows or flexes the square or octagonal torsion bar (8) as indicated by the dotted lines (7). Here the torque is transmitted between (2), and (3), and allows (8), to flex within

(9) by a given measurable play space indicated by (10). While said device is functioning in this manner, (8) absorbs and relieves the cyclic stressing between the box and pin of the tool,

SUBSTITUTE SHEET indicated by numerals (12) and (11) respectively.

The device (14) is set between the opposing tool joints of the drill string or drill collars, this allows the drill string or collars to flex at will while still being able to transmit rotary or flexing torque from one drill stem or collar to another. This allows either a rotary or stationary system assembly to function.

Fig. 2 Is the second embodiment in the first part and as indicated by numeral (14). The distinguishing feature that departs from Fig 1 is numeral (8). In this case it is in a solid mandrel form and is integral with (4), the semi-spherical sockets. It may be noted that in this embodiment there are no seals to contend with. (1) indicates an air or fluid channel throughout the entire Universal. (2) and (3) are sub housings, of which (2) is generally thought of as the top and (3) is the bottom of the said device. (2) and (3) are bound to both the semi-spherical sockets as one solid unit, and are confined within the casing collar (9). Both semi-spherical sockets (4), are allowed to gyrate within the casing collar (9). The device functions as follows,(8) represents the mandrel that has flexing ability and absorbs the cyclic stressing between the two sockets (4). Flexing play is indicated by numeral (7), where

(8), the mandrel transmits the torque from one semi-spherical socket to the other. This allows (2) and (3), the sub housing to flex and are limited by a given play space indicated by numeral (10). The device is set between the drill stem or collars as indicated by (12), the box end of the device, and (11), the pin end of the device. Fig. 3 Is the third embodiment in the first part and is indicated by numeral (14) and it can be considered as a dowell pin device with a right turn swivel as illustrated. Here numeral (2) indicates the top end of the tool and (3) the bottom., Here numeral (3) can be in a more simple form, were numeral (11) indicates the pin and would then be the only numeral necessary to display or indicate the bottom of the tool. (3), as illustrated, indicates a right turning swivel where the drill string can be rotated by the sub housing of (3), (18), while the top of (17), is held stationary for the purpose of coming off the spool, but is allowed to exert a push force on the drill string. This is established until it passes the rotary table and is forwarded to the next Universal coupling following off the spool itself. First the Universal will be discussed, where numeral (1) represents the air or fluid channel through the entire Universal coupling, (2) indicates the top sub housing and (29), the top semi- spherical socket and (30), the bottom semi spherical socket. They are both held in place by (9), the casing collar. Here (29), and (30), are allowed to rock or gyrate by the play space indicated by numeral (24). (2) being integral with (29), transfers its turning torque on to (26), the dowell pins of solid or spring steel composition to (30), by way of (25), the conical recess in both semi- spherical sockets. The rocking or gyration is controlled by the allotted space (10), where (28), illustrates a circular seal to contain the air of fluid within (1) of the Universal. The swivel functions as follows. (23) is the bulb shape solid steel mandrel held in place by (17), the top half of the swivel, and (18), the bottom half of the swivel. (22) represents the seal and rotary bearing, where (20) indicates the dowell pins which is the bevelled into the circular conical

SUBSTITUTE SHEET recess (21). (19) indicates the compression spring that keeps (20), the dowell pin in the bottom bevelled circular conical recess (21), when the device is rotating to the right. This allows (17) to turn (18) and when (18) turns to the left, (20), the pin is forced back into the top conical recess of (17), this allows (18) to turn left and (17) to remain stationary. It will be understood that a right left drive swivel could be implemented and where the left drive dowell pin could be controlled with a sequence valve and a compensator controlled by the air or fluid pressure through the inclined recess to selectively block the dowell pins.

As illustrated the device has two separate disciplines, one as a Universal, and the other as a swivel. The device would be set between the drill string stem and collars by (12), the box end of the device and (11), the pin end of the device. The device is designed so that it is possible to rotate off a spool, and makes use of rotational force supplied by a table drive rig that would incorporate hydraulic pull down rams equipped with a swivel to drive a drill string, or a spiral drill string in a horizontal hole. Fig. 4 Is the fourth embodiment in the first part and is indicated by numeral (14). The Universal coupling in this case is used to sectionally separate the rotor and stator of a mud motor so it has the ability to flex while drilling an acutely angled directional well bore. Numeral (4) indicates the upper and lower semi-spherical sockets, which are bound in place by (9), the casing collar. (4) is allowed to flex with (36), the stator, which is between the inner flexing rotor shaft (35), and the outer flexing semi-spherical sockets (4). The rotor (35), is split in a concave, convex shape indicated by (37). A spring steel or solid torsion bar (39) of a square or octagonal design couples the rotor and allows for the transmission of torque and is set into (38), the square or octagonal conical recess in (35). (5) indicates half moon keys that allow for greater flexibility of the mud motor, if desired. (40) are the pins that secure the torsion bar (39), in place. (34) represents the top half section of the mud motor that fastens to the Universal coupling by (33), the threaded coupling means, and with (32), the bottom half section of the mud motor.

Fig. 5 Is the fifth embodiment in the first part and is indicated by numeral (14). The Universal coupling displayed illustrates two cylindrically shaped electric motors run in a series arrangement. The Universal as illustrated in this case does not rotate, but instead it is used to sectionally break up the two or more motors to give it flexibility while drilling directional wells. A rotatable

Universal could be implemented by using electrical rotary switches. The said device in this case is designed for a spool application, where air or fluid is used to clean the well bore of cuttings. The said device functions as follows. Where (1) represents the air or fluid channel through the entire Universal coupling. (2) represents the top electric motor and (3), the bottom electric motor. (4) represents the semi-spherical sockets that are allowed to flex and are held in place by (9), the casing collar. (8) is used as a flexing torsion bar for stability and (10), represents the flexing space the Universal is allowed. (127) represents the electrical line that comes from a rotatable electric switch on the spool at surface and a D.C. current is supplied to run the electric motors. The electric line can proceed past the motors and can facilitate the operation of the deflectional

SUBSTITUTE SHEET device, known as the Spade Glider, as illustrated in Fig (8), but independent of the batteries and switches indicated in numeral (2). (129) indicates the rotor, (131) the brushes, (132) the commutator, the basic components of an electric motor.

The current supplied would be of a D.C. nature in order to give variable speed to the bit, also at the end of the rotary shaft (130), a cylindrical transfer case allows for a gear reduction system, that passes on to a swivel unit that rotates the bit. This is done to facilitate the desired rotational speed of the bit.

Fig. 6 Is the sixth embodiment in the second part and is indicated by numeral (14), where numeral (1 ) indicates an air or fluid channel through the entire said device. (3) indicates the said devices flexible housing that is integral to (4), a single semi-spherical socket where (5) indicates the half moon keys that allow for more flexibility or play in the said device by way of (8), the torsion bar which is of a solid or spring steel construction. (6) represents the circular seal used to prevent internal leakage of fluid or air. (5), and (6), could be eliminated from (8) where it could change from a torsion bar to a mandrel and be integral with (4) and (41). (7) indicates the outer flexing limits of (8), the torsion bar. This action allows (3), its chattering movement. Both ends of the tool are in a box arrangement indicated by (12), the top, and (42), the bottom, as the device is coupled directly to the bit. (43) indicates a threaded recess for (44), the nut lug that holds (8), in its place, and also allows replacement or change of the torsion bar. (45) acts as a helical reamer to stabilize and guide the upper portion of the device while drilling. Fig. 7 Is the seventh embodiment in the third part and is indicated by numeral (14). This embodiment of this device illustrates one semi-spherical socket for stable control as well as manual setting for establishing its seal in order to facilitate the hydraulic sequence valves necessary to operate the components of the jack knife ski and the ratchet mechanism to bow the mandrel. The device functions as follows. Numeral (1) indicates the orifice for the fluid or air channel through the entire device where (2) is the top sub housing and integral with (8), the mandrel and (3), the bottom sub housing. (9) indicates the outer casing collar that remains stationary while (2), (8) and (3) rotate. The wireline (47), assists (48), the plunger tool from surface to (81), the flange to establish a seal. Fluid pressure is supplied from surface with a pump with monitoring means to open and flood sequence valves. A hydrostatic equalizer bladder or piston (49), stabilizes control independent of depth or mud weight so that the tool can function as desired. The check valve (51), is used here so the on/off pulse action can be realized. The first highest fluid pressure value is established to open sequence valve (75). This allows fluid to the bladder (76), and forces the latch pin (74), down into recess (68), and out of recess (73), this separates (9), from the rest of the unit.

The second highest pressure value is established and fluid flows through the sequence valve (50), through line (54), through the rotary seal (53), between (2), and (9), the same pressure opens sequence valve (55), and forces the hydraulic compensator (67), which is integral with (69), the wedge that forces (70), out and against the well bore wall, this action locks (9), the

SUBSTITUTE SHEET outer casing collar and prevents it from rotating.

Next the third highest pressure value is realized and opens sequence valve (58). This action places the top ratchet lock (62) into play, then a pulse fluid action facilitates the top hydraulic compensator (61). The on/off pulse fluid action initiates the ratchet arm (63), movement that rotates (64), the ratchet torque bar, to turn the threaded lug nut (104), out against the centre bearing (65). This bows or weiners the mandrel (8), into the casing cavity (66). This action is integral with (4), the semi-spherical socket, and (3), the bottom sub housing that holds the bit and give the device its directional angle. Where (72) indicates a mellower steel if needed to facilitate bowing of the mandrel. To release or adjust the device, the fourth highest value of pressure is applied to sequence valve

(60). This action closes the top line (54), by means of the pilot valve (57), and the same action of an on/off pulse is applied actuating the bottom (61), and (62), thereby reversing the ratchet and releasing the bow on the mandrel. The fifth highest pressure value is realized on sequence valve (56). This operates the pilot valve (57), on the opposite side, allowing (67), with its compression spring to move to its original position and thereby allowing (70) to recess itself into (9), the casing collar by way of (71), its axis pin. This allows (9), a correctional ability or allows it free movement especially on resurfacing with undue bit drag. The sixth highest pressure value is realized to reorient (9) if needed. This sequence valve (78), opens and floods the chamber forcing (79), the hydraulic compensator into recess (77), so the unit can turn (9), if needed, into a different setting and is monitored by way of fluid being used by the MWD or if air is being used, by electronic equipment. The pressure would be relaxed so that (51), the check valve could release (79), to its former position and the same forte would be used to reset (14) to retain (9) in its new setting if so desired. Where (10) on the top is the play space that allows (52), the rotary bearing its functional ability to take stress and associated strain between (2) and (9) where the bottom (10) allows the sub housing (3) its ability to rotate independent of (9) and to bow at a recognized inclination. Where (12) is the threaded top box end of the tool to receive the rest of the top assembly and (42), the threaded box end to receive the bit. Fig. 8 Is the eighth embodiment in the third part and is indicated by numeral (14). This embodiment illustrates electric motors that are powered by the devices own power pack, although it is illustrated for air, fluid could just as well be used. If the electric power is derived from the surface then only a spoc^' ...oplication applies as the electric power would have to be introduced by a surface rotary electric switch where a power line extends down the inside of the drill string. If air is used the line would be hung by internal collars to support its weight and if fluid were used the line would have to be protected by tubing.

The said device as illustrated functions as follows: Numeral (1) indicates the air of fluid channel through the entire device. Numeral (2) indicates the top housing of the device which is integral with (8), the mandrel and (3), the bottom bit sub housing. (101) indicates the casing collar. The

SUBSTITUTE SHEET wire line (47), is lowered down the drill string with the plunger tool (48). It seats at (81), the seating flange. The air is pressurized to the first sequence pressure value that opens (75), this forces the piston (114), onto (74), the holding pin, and sets it out of recess (73) of (101), and down into the recess (68) of (3), which is solely used to keep the housing and casing collar in line when running in the hole. Directly opposite is the highest pressurized valve and this is used only to reorient the device if needed, where the rest of the activating sequence compensator bypass their contact points and do not facilitate the action on the other compensators. The second highest pressure value is used to facilitate (124), the compensator and electric switch. This done, the electric power is supplied by battery (116), and passes through the rotary electric switch (117), from the electric line (121). This starts the electric motor (119), to turn to the right. This rotation is powered onto the gear box or transfer case (120). This action causes (69), the threaded wedge to move onto (70). (70) is then forced out against the well bore wall guided by its axis pin (71). This action holds (101) fast, while (2), (8), and (3) are allowed to rotate. Next the third highest pressure value is realized to facilitate sequence compensators and electrical switch (122). This draws electrical power from the battery (116), through the electrical lines (121), and through the rotary electric switch (117), to the electric motor (118), and turns its shaft to the right, which operates the gear box or transfer case (115), this screws out the threaded fulcrum pin (104), onto (65), the central bearing around the mandrel (8), and lays it into the cavity (66), in the casing collar of (101). This action nests and secures the mandrel in a lowered position within the cavity of the casing collar, which gives the bit housing sub (3), its inclination.

Numeral (10), at the bottom of the draft, is the tolerance space for the inclination where (10) at the top is the tolerance between (2), the top sub housing and (101), the central casing collar, where the collar bearing (52), is established to release friction, where (102) are the half moon keys that rest on the bottom bearing (65), that secure and enable the mandrel (8), to rotate smoothly when it is lowered into the cavity (66). Numeral (12) is the threaded box end that connect the BHA (bottom hole assembly) to the device where (42), is the threaded box end that receives the bit. The device is ready to drill when the wire line (47), pulls the plunger tool (48), back to the surface.

To release the tool for surfacing or to set a new angle, the plunger tool is returned to the same position. The fourth highest pressure value is then applied and floods sequence valve and electric switch (123). This turns the motor (118), in the opposite direction and releases the mandrel to its original position. The next operation sequences the fifth highest pressure value then floods sequence valve and electric switch (125). This turns the electric motor (119), in the opposite direction and releases (70), from the well bore wall. All pressure over the value of (124) and (122), make these two switches bypass their electrical contact so they do not function. The device is now ready to be retrieved to the surface or to be reoriented.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET Fig. 9 Is the ninth embodiment in the third part and is indicated by numeral (14). This embodiment illustrates the device using both hydraulic and mechanical screw means to set the device.

The device uses sequence valves and a hydraulic compensator to set the stage for the mechanical screw action, the top sub housing (2), there are drafted two different modes for hydraulics to set the screw: one on the left and one on the right. One should consider one side at a time as a complete unit.

The device functions as follows: the wire line (47), places the plunger tool (48), in position at (81), the seating flange. The fluid pressure of the first value is realized to flood sequence valve (105). Where fluid floods the chamber with a bladder that forces the latch pin (96), out of the holding arm (97), of the casing sleeve collar (93). The latch pin (96), is used to keep the device in line when running in the hole.

First to deal with the left side of the hydraulic means. Where the second fluid pressure value floods sequence valve (50), and w ^;ch is equalized by (49), this forces the compensator (67), to lock into (92), the thread sleeve collar. The device (14), is rotated, where (92) threads down into (93), forcing (94), the wedge piston onto (70). This action forces (70) by way of its axis pin (71), out against the well bore wall securing (93) from rotary movement. The fluid pressure is relaxed allowing (67) to return to its original position by using the check valve (51). The third highest fluid pressure value is realized and floods sequence valve (78), that is equipped with an equalizer (49). This forces the compensator (95), of (2), to lock into (98) by the recess (59). The sleeve H4), then is lifted from surface to put a slight strain on the device. This allows (97), the locking arm into (99), the threaded sleeve collar. The device is then rotated where (97) is held fast by (93) which is lodged against the well bore wall. (98), the central casing collar rotates and (99), is screwed down into (98) by the threads indicated by (100) and (99). This action forces the wedge (69), onto the fulcrum pin (80), which is forced onto the bearing (65), of the mandrel (8). This action forces the mandrel (8), into the cavity of the central casing collar (66). This action gives (3) its deflection ability where (10), displays the allowance where (3) can be bowed to its desired position. This action also tilts the half moon keys. The key on the left side has a rocker arm which has a locking key (134) attached to it. It locks into the recess (135), which is notched 360 degrees around its base perimeter. This locks (98), the central casing collar with (93), its outer casing collar and thereby sets the direction of angle and the deflection that will take place. (136) is a circular notched out space that allows (134) to function where at this time in th; draft, (134) would be at the top end of (136). This whole unit cou-d be replaced with a sequence rotary valve seal and compensator that could lock the inner ana outer casing collars together that would set the directional deflections. The device (14), is then slightly dropped further down the hole. This forces (93) to be at its highest level up the device where the top edge of (97), rests on the roller bearing (52), at which time (134) remains locked into (135), securing both inner and outer central casing collars. The fourth fluid pressure value is then realized at this time and the flooded piston ring (90),

SUBSTITUTE SHEET which is in its rightful position as drafted. This floods both the sequence valve (89) that is equipped with an equalizer (49). This forces the both the compensator and pin (91), to bridge the cylinder allowance of piston (90), thereby locking (93) in that position regardless of the travelling drill string. This is to ensure that while raising the kelly or the drill string or that the right/left spin of the drill string is not effected, if the device is not driven by bottom hole motor apparatus. The device is now set to drill when (48), the plunger tool is pulled to surface by (47), the wireline.

Sequence valve (88), is employed if one wants to increase, decrease, or change deflection, or pull out of the hole. If this is the intent then the fluid pressure value is increased to the fifth highest level. This floods sequence valve (88), that has an equalizing bladder (49), and forces the compensator with the pin back to its original or shown position and the lock-up pressure is bled off by (51 ), its check valve, so that (89) can re-function. This allows (93) to return so it can increase or decrease its deflection or it can be slacked completely off the mandrel. Where (12), is the top box end of the device that connects to the rest of the BHA and (42), is the threaded box end that secures the bit to the assembly. The right side of (2) has a slightly different arrangement from the left side but does the same thing where sequence valve (105), is flooded with the second highest fluid pressure. This forces (67), the compensator down onto the wedged piston rod and forces (70), the jack knife ski by way of its axis pin (71), out and against the well bore wall. (67) remains in the engaged position until the highest or sixth fluid pressure level is realized. This opens up sequence valve (84), which forces the pilot piston (57), up allowing the fluid in the chamber to be released through its check valve (51), this allows (67) to return to its original position and relaxes (70) from the well bore wall.

Fig. 10 Is the tenth embodiment in the third part and is indicated by numeral (14). This device uses one sequence valve in housing (2). It is the main sequence valve for both the jack knife ski (70), and the ratchet arm (64). The device function as follows: Numeral (1) indicates the orifice or fluid hole through the entire device where (2) indicates the top sub housing, and (101) the central casing collar, where (8) is the mandrel and (3), the bottom sub housing. (47), the wire line and (48), the plunger tool are lowered down the drill string to rest at (81), the seating flange. A fluid pressure of the first value is realized and it is utilized by a hidden hydrostatic equalizer bladder (49). This forces the bladder (76), onto the latch pin (74), which forces it down out of its recess (73), into the recess (68), directly opposite sequence valve (78). This is used to orient the tool and functions by being flooded with the highest fluid pressure value which forces the compensator and pin into the recess (77).Where the sub housing (3), rotates with (101). And when the fluid pressure is relaxed (79) returns to its original position with assistance of (51), the check valve.

The fluid pressure is increased to the second highest value on sequence valve (50), this unit displays a hydrostatic equalizer bladder (49), and a check valve (51). Fluid pressure is transferred through the rotary seal (53), via line (54), onto sequence valve (55), which has the third highest fluid pressure value. The fluid pressure forces (67) down with (69), the wedge onto

SUBSTITUTE SHEET (70), the jack knife ski that opens from its axis pin (71). Fluid pressure locks the compensator

(67) down.

The fourth highest fluid pressure is realized and floods sequence valve (58). The on/off fluid pulse pushes the ratchet compensator (62), to lock the ratchet, and at the same time the compensator (61), jacks back and forth with its pulse onto (63), the ratchet arm which turns (64), the ratchet drive that turns the screw in the fulcrum pin lug (104), onto the central bearing (65), forcing the mandrel (8), into its casing collar cavity (66). This gives (3) its deflectional angle where bottom (10), display the space allowance for this action. Where (102) are the half moon keys that secure the mandrel with (65), the bottom bearing when the mandrel bows. The mandrel is set with the MWD tool to what ever specification desired. (47) and (48) are retrieved to surface after which the device is ready to drill.

The device to be reset, or to be retrieved from the well bore utilizes (47), and (48), again and a seat is set at the flange (81) to make a seal.

The fourth highest fluid pressure is realized to flood sequence valve (60). This forces the pilot valve (57), to bridge the line to the top (61), and (62), and engages the bottom (62), and (61).

The same procedure of fluid pulse pressure is utilized, this time reversing the ratchet to a relaxed position allowing the mandrel to fall back to its original position.

The sixth highest fluid pressure is realized to flood sequence valve (56), that forces its pilot piston (57), to open its fluid escape line that utilized its check valve (51). This relaxes (70) to its original position. The device is completely unset. Where the top, (10), is the space between

(2) and (101), where (52) is the roller bearing, where (12) is the top box end of the tool and (42), the bottom bit box end.

Fig. 11 Is the eleventh embodiment in the third part and is indicated by numeral (14). The main difference of this device is that it illustrates three rotary seals that transfer the fluid from (2) to (101), the central casing collar.

The device functions as follows: where numeral (1) indicates the fluid or air channel and (2) the top sub housing, where (101) is the central casing collar, where (8) is the mandrel and (3), the bottom bit sub housing. (47) and (48), are sent down the well bore to seat at the flange (81).

The first value of fluid pressure opens the sequence valve (75), which has a hidden bladder (49), it forces the bladder (76) onto the latch pin (74), pushes it out of recess (73), and into recess

(68). Directly opposite is the highest fluid pressure sequence valve that floods sequence valve

(78), that pushes (79), into (77), for orienting the tool (79), returns itself to its original position via

(51), the check valve when pressure is relaxed.

The second highest fluid pressure value is utilized to flood sequence valve (55). Fluid is transferred via (54) through (107), the rotary hydraulic seal, onto (67). This forces (69), the wedge, onto (70), the jack knife ski, and opens using (71), the axis pin. (67) remains locked down into position due to fluid lock pressure.

The third highest fluid pressure value is realized to flood sequence valve (111), fluid is transferred via (54) through (109), the rotary seal via (54) onto bottom (62) and (61), and

SUBSTITUTE SHEET pressurized fluid activates (62) and (61) with assistance from (51), that works the ratchet arm (63) back and forth, to turn (64), the ratchet drive and the fulcrum lug screw (104), onto bearing (65), forcing the mandrel (8) into the casing collar cavity (66), this bows (8), the mandrel and deflects (3), the bottom bit sub housing. Space is allotted by the bottom (10) for its deflection, and (102) secures (65), the bearing on (8) the mandrel, all three bearings (65) help rotate (8). It is ready to drill when (47) and (48) are removed.

To deactivate or change inclination (47) and (48) are returned and a seal is established at the flange (81). Fluid pressure is realized to the fourth highest level and floods sequence valve (112). The fluid pressure activates the pilot compensator that bridges the fluid line to (109) and the fluid flows through to (108). The same pulse action operates (62) and (61) with assistance from (51), its check valve, off the top to disengage or relax the mandrel (8). Fluid pressure is realized to the fifth highest level to flood sequence valve (56). This activates the pilot piston (57) to open its line where (67) can return to its original position allowing (70) to be relaxed.

All the sequence valves in the draft use hydrostatic equalizer valves hidden or shown and indicated by numeral (49), where (42) is the threaded box bit end of the device, and (12) the top threaded box end, (10) is the space between (2) and (101), and (52) roller bearings to reduce friction. Fig. 12 Is the twelfth embodiment in the fourth part and is indicated by numeral (14) and is known as the Eccentric Reamer. The purpose of this device is to ream or enlarge the size of the well bore. The device does this by placing a bow in the mandrel and rotating with its mandrel bowed 360 degrees off centre and deflects the sub housing (3), out from its natural centre. The device functions as follows: Where numeral (1) is the orifice or fluid channel through the entire device where (2) is the top sub housing, (9) the casing collar that holds the two semi- spherical sockets (4) together, where (8) is a solid mandrel and (3) the bottom bit sub housing. (47) and (48) are placed in position and a fluid seal is established at (81). The first value of fluid pressure floods sequence valve (55), that has a hydrostatic equalizer bladder (49). This passes fluid pressure through the hydraulic rotary seal (53), onto the compensator (67), forcing (69) onto

(70) by way of (71 ). There are two jack knife skis (70) shown in this draft but there could be three or more.

The fluid pressure is increased to a second highest value to flood sequence valve (50). This then passes fluid down the hydraulic line (54), to the hydraulic compensator (83), its pin pushes out onto the roller bearing (65), which bows the mandrel. The mandrel rotates around bowed away from the bearing (65), as it rotates the casing collar remains fast against the well bore wall. This enlarges the cutting face of the bit allowing for a larger well bore to be cut out where bottom (10) is the allotted space of its deflection. Sequence valve (50) locks the fluid within the compensator (83). (47) and (48) are retrieved from the tool and it is ready to drill.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET To disengage the device, (47) and (48) are returned and seals at the flange (81). The third highest fluid pressure is realized and opens both sequence valves (56) and (84) and forces their pilot pistons (57) to open the lines to the check valves (51). When pressure is relaxed (70) and (8) return to their original positions. (47) and (48) are retrieved and the device is ready to be pulled to surface. Where top (10) illustrates the space between (2) and (9) where (12) is the threaded box end of the top and (42) the bottom threaded box end for the bit.

SUBSTITUTE SHEET It may be appreciated that all the sequence valves in these embodiments incorporate hydrostatic equalizer valves or floating pistons to maintain a stable pressure on the sequence valves so that the hydrostatic difference associated with mud weight and depth would have no un-balancing influence on the Spade Glider performance. It also may be concluded that dual acting hydraulic jacks or compensators could replace and operate the jack knife ski and mandrel if they were implemented with sequence valves and pilot valves that had a discharge bleed on the opposite side of the pipe I.D. seal. And another set of sequence valves could be implemented to replace the plunger tool especially in the case of mud motor application where the sequence valves control could initiate a valve that temporarily closes off the pipe I.D. below the tool. This may be accomplished by a splined, gear ended ball valve. Or with orifice disks. Or with a controllable check valve. Or an oscillating hydraulic piston shaft equipped with a built in orifice to slide back and forth. Or a bladder that seats around a protruding shaft that facilitates a by-pass. Or a controllable check valve with a caducean shaped shaft, that incorporates a compression spring with a by-pass and a funnel shaped seat. Any of these can be used to open and close the fluid or air discharge, to establish a seal and having the ability to be re-opened to resume drilling. Any of these would be set to utilize the first pressure sequence and would release and re-open the pipe I.D. for normal drilling. This would function much simpler, and would be the ideal master Spade Glider, for all systems. This would eliminate the use of a wire line and plunger tool altogether. It is well known that a number of various functioning tools exist that could operate the working components of this tool. These tools may consist of bladders, valves, switches, or power supplied by pneumatic, hydraulic or electrical means that could facilitate the tools functional operations by themselves or in some combination. Although only fourteen different embodiments of the present invention have been described and illustrated, it will be appreciated that other possible combinations are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the presented invention.
