SUCKER-ROD TONG Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC E21B19/16 

FIELD: oil production, particularly Connecting or disconnecting pipe couplings or joints, namely means of mechanization of trips associated with sucker rods.

SUBSTANCE: sucker-rod tong comprises head with slot for sucker rod receiving and mounting orifices, handle connected to head to provide cooperation with carrier, fixer, which fixes tong engagement of sucker rod and torsion torque limiter, which limits torsion torque during sucker rod screwing together. Torsion torque limiter has torsion torque regulation means and includes resilient rod, clip and cutoff plate. Resilient rod is threadedly secured to box-like head and is off-centered with respect to sucker rod axis. Corner depression is formed at resilient rod end so that the depression is aligned with end thereof along depression radius. Roller secured to clip cooperates with the depression. Clip is installed on handle by means of pin and is spring-loaded towards handle pin as tong is installed in working position. Cutoff plate is installed on head. Cutoff plate has beveled part reverse to the corner depression of resilient rod. In working tong position roller of spring-loaded clip cooperates with the depression. Handle is supported by pin passing in mounting orifice of head and off-centered with respect to resilient rod and sucker rod axes.

EFFECT: improved operational conditions and decreased accident risk due to possibility to break mechanical connection between carrier and tong at predetermined tightening torque.
