Abstract
An anchoring device includes at least one slip configured to fixedly engage the anchoring device to a structure when urged against the structure, and a member separate from the at least one slip positioned radially of the at least one slip having a portion that is radially deformable in response to longitudinal compression, the portion being configured to urge the at least one slip against the structure when deformed.
Claims17
An anchoring device comprising:
- at least one slip configured to fixedly engage the anchoring device to a structure when urged against the structure, the at least one slip including a first end and a second end;
- a sleeve having an end including a first recess portion;
- a collar having an end portion including a second recess portion, wherein the at least one slip extends annularly about the anchoring device with the first end being arranged in the first recess portion and the second end being arranged in the second recess portion in a non-compressed state of the anchoring device, at least one of the first end and the second end being detached from at least one of the sleeve and the collar;
- and
- at least one member separate and distinct from the at least one slip positioned radially inwardly of and spaced from the at least one slip, the at least one member having at least one portion that is radially deformable in response to longitudinal compression between the collar and the sleeve, the at least one portion being configured to be the sole force to urge the at least one slip against the structure when deformed.
