Abstract

A tubular handling apparatus comprising a slotted member having a plurality of elongated slots each extending in a direction, a recessed member slidably coupled to the slotted member and having a plurality of recesses each tapered in the direction from a shallow end to a deep end, and a plurality of rolling members each retained between one of the recesses and one of the slots, wherein each rolling member partially extends through the adjacent slot when located in the shallow end of the recess, and wherein each rolling member retracts within an outer perimeter of the slotted member when located in a deep end of the recess. The apparatus may further comprise a plurality of biasing elements each biasing a corresponding one of the rolling members towards the shallow end of the corresponding recess.

Claims (14)

1. A tubular handling apparatus, comprising:
a slotted member having a plurality of elongated slots each extending in a direction;
a recessed member slidably coupled to the slotted member and having a plurality of recesses each tapered in the direction from a shallow end to a deep end;
a plurality of rolling members each retained between one of the recesses and one of the slots; and a plurality of biasing elements each biasing a corresponding one of the rolling members towards the shallow end of the corresponding recess;
wherein each rolling member partially extends through the adjacent slot when located in the shallow end of the recess; and wherein each rolling member retracts to at least within the adjacent slot when located in a deep end of the recess.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein each of the plurality of biasing elements is configured to urge a corresponding one of the rolling members into contact between an edge of the corresponding slot of the slotted member and the corresponding tapered recess of the recessed member.
3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein each of the plurality of biasing elements is a compression spring.
4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein an inner periphery of the slotted member encompasses an outer periphery of the recessed member, an inner periphery of the recessed member encompasses an outer periphery of the slotted member, or both.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein at least a portion of the slotted member has a substantially cylindrical annular cross-sectional shape and at least a portion of the recessed member has a substantially annular cross-sectional shape, wherein the inner periphery of one of the recessed and slotted members conforms to the outer periphery of the other of the recessed and slotted members, or both.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the direction is substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of at least one of the slotted member and the recessed member.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the plurality of rolling members comprises at least one of a plurality of spherical members, a plurality of cylindrical members, or a plurality of tapered cylindrical members.
8. A method of handling a tubular member, comprising:

interfacing a lifting apparatus into an end of the tubular member, wherein the lifting apparatus comprises:
a slotted member having a plurality of elongated slots each extending in a direction;

a recessed member slidably coupled to the slotted member and having a plurality of recesses each tapered in the direction from a shallow end to a deep end;
a plurality of rolling members each retained between one of the recesses and one of the slots;

a plurality of biasing elements each biasing a corresponding one of the rolling members towards the shallow end of the corresponding recess;
wherein each rolling member partially extends through the adjacent slot when located in the shallow end of the recess, and wherein each rolling member retracts to at least with the adjacent slot when located in a deep end of the recess;

allowing the plurality of rolling members to become engaged between a substantially cylindrical surface of the tubular member and the plurality of recesses in the recessed member;
and lifting the tubular member via the lifting apparatus.
9. The method of claim 8 wherein allowing the plurality of rolling members to become engaged comprises allowing each of the plurality of biasing elements to urge the corresponding one of the plurality of rolling members towards the shallow end of the corresponding one of the plurality of recesses and into engagement with the surface of the tubular member.
10. The method of claim 9 wherein an inner periphery of the recessed member encompasses an outer periphery of the slotted member.
11. A system, comprising:
a tubular handling apparatus, comprising:

a slotted member having a plurality of elongated slots each extending in a direction;

a recessed member slidably coupled to the slotted member and having a plurality of recesses each tapered in the direction from a shallow end to a deep end;
a plurality of rolling members each retained between one of the recesses and one of the slots; and a plurality of biasing elements each biasing a corresponding one of the rolling members towards the shallow end of the corresponding recess;
wherein each rolling member partially extends through the adjacent slot when located in the shallow end of the recess; and wherein each rolling member retracts to at least within the adjacent slot when located in a deep end of the recess; and a device for lifting the tubular handling apparatus.
12. The system of claim 11 wherein each of the plurality of biasing elements is configured to urge the corresponding one of the rolling members into contact between an edge of the corresponding slot of the slotted member and the corresponding tapered recess of the recessed member.
13. The system of claim 11 wherein each of the plurality of biasing elements is a compression spring.
14. The system of claim 11 wherein an inner periphery of the slotted member encompasses an outer periphery of the recessed member, an inner periphery of the recessed member encompasses an outer periphery of the slotted member, an inner periphery of one of the recessed and slotted members conforms to the outer periphery of the other of the recessed and slotted members, or a combination thereof.
