ALL-PURPOSE HYDRAULIC SUSPENDED PIPE WRENCH Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC E21B19/16 B25B13/50 

FIELD: mechanical engineering, particularly means for connecting or disconnecting pipe couplings or joints.

SUBSTANCE: pipe wrench comprises body with openable flaps and locking mechanism, releasing rotor with jaws, braking means to provide automatic pipe clamping, hydraulic motor and tooth gears with satellites. The rotor comprises central and two side sectors. One side sector end has threaded orifice to receive regulator, which adjusts mutual sector location. The regulator is made as spherical threaded thrust having spherical part cooperating with end part of central rotor sector. Rotor-satellite spacing setting device, which specifies space between rotor and satellite axes is installed in wrench body. The spacing setting device is made as three cylindrical fingers cooperating with basic rotor surface and installed in threaded orifices formed in wrench body along longitudinal axis thereof. The fingers are also arranged in each openable flap at an angle to longitudinal axis.

EFFECT: increased operational reliability.
