Abstract
A downhole tool suitable for use in a wellbore, the tool having a cone or mandrel, a first sleeve, a first ring and a lower sleeve. The downhole tool includes the first sleeve and the first ring, or respective portions thereof, disposed around one end of the cone. After initial activation, the downhole tool is in a first set configuration whereby the lower sleeve is engaged with the expansion sleeve and the cone, leaving a remnant cone-sleeve component configured to move toward or engage a profile.
Claims20
A downhole tool for use in a wellbore, the downhole tool comprising:
- a cone comprising:
- a distal end;
- a proximate end;
- and an outer surface,
- an expansion sleeve slidingly engaged with the outer surface;
- a bearing ring adjacent the expansion sleeve in a run-in configuration;
- and
- a lower sleeve,
- wherein the expansion sleeve is configured to expand from a first sleeve outer diameter to a second sleeve outer diameter that is larger than the first sleeve outer diameter,
- wherein the bearing ring is configured with a failure point to facilitate fracture of the bearing ring at the fracture point,
- wherein the outer surface comprises:
- a first planar portion having a first outer cone diameter, a second planar portion having a second outer cone diameter, and a third planar portion having a third outer cone diameter,
- wherein at least one of the first planar portion, the second planar portion, and the third planar portion has a planar surface reference axis in longitudinal cross-section in parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the downhole tool,
- wherein the second outer cone diameter is larger than the first outer cone diameter, and the third outer cone diameter is larger than the second outer cone diameter, and
- wherein in the run-in configuration the expansion sleeve is directly engaged with the first planar portion, and in a first set configuration the expansion sleeve is not directly engaged with the first planar portion.
