Abstract
An engaging device includes a body selectively slidably engagable about a first tubular runnable within a second tubular. The body is runnable past at least one profile on the second tubular in a first direction during a first running and is prevented from running past the at least one profile on subsequent runs subsequent to running by the at least one profile in a second direction.
Claims21
An engaging device, comprising:
- a body disposable about a first tubular and runnable within a second tubular;
- a first collet disposed at the body and engagable with at least one profile of the second tubular;
- and
- a second collet disposed at the body being in operable communication with the first collet and selectively engagable with the at least one profile, the engaging device being configured to pass any number of the at least one profile in a first direction substantially unaltered while being altered upon passage of the entire engaging device past one of the at least one profile in a second direction such that the second collet prevents additional passages of the engaging device by any of the at least one profile in the first direction.
An engaging device, comprising a body selectively slidably engagable about a first tubular runnable within a second tubular, the body being runnable past at least one profile on the second tubular in a first direction during a first running and being prevented from running past the at least one profile in the first direction during a second running after having been run entirely past the at least one profile in a second direction.
An engaging device, comprising:
- a body disposable about a first tubular and runnable within a second tubular;
- a first collet disposed at the body and engagable with at least one profile of the second tubular;
- and
- a second collet disposed at the body being in operable communication with the first collet and selectively engagable with the at least one profile, the engaging device being configured to pass a plurality of the at least one profile in a first direction substantially unaltered while being altered upon passage of the entire engaging device past one of the at least one profile in a second direction, the alteration including repositioning of the second collet to prevent additional passages of the second collet by any of the at least one profile in the first direction.
