Abstract
An improved slip assembly having a base and at least two opposing slip frames positioned on the base with each of the slip frames including a planar slip surface. Additionally, a die is carrier positioned within each of the slip frames and each of the die carriers also includes a planar surface which engages the slip surfaces of the slip frames. The improved slip assembly also includes a low friction slip assembly having a base and at least two opposing slip frames positioned on the base. Each of the slip frames will include a slip surface having an effective coefficient of friction less than about 0.07 and die carriers will be position within each of the slip frames.
Claims9
An improved slip assembly comprising:
- a. a base;
- b. at least two opposing slip frames positioned on said base, each of said slip frames including a first planar slip surface and a second planar slip surface radially offset from said first slip surface and side frame section;
- c. a die carrier positioned within each of said slip frames, each of said die carriers also including first and second radially offset rear planar surfaces corresponding to said first and second slip surfaces of said slip frames;
- and
- d. upper and lower guide channel/follower assemblies positioned between said side frame sections and said die carriers.
