Downhole apparatus with packer cup and slip

A downhole assembly for use in a well bore, comprising:

• a downhole apparatus comprising:
• a mandrel;
• a first slip and a second slip, both the first slip and the second slip being disposed around the mandrel and configured to grippingly engage the wall of the well bore as the downhole tool transitions from an unset position to a set position;
• a locking device operably associated with the first slip and the second slip, the locking device being configured to secure the first slip and the second slip in a fixed position relative to each other while the downhole tool is in the unset position and is configured to shear when sufficient force is exerted thereto;
• and
• a packer cup disposed on the mandrel for sealing an annulus between the mandrel and the well bore;
• and
• a setting apparatus connected to the downhole apparatus for at least partially supporting the downhole apparatus while the downhole apparatus is lowered into the well bore.
