20090273201	TRICAM AXIAL EXTENSION TO PROVIDE GRIPPING TOOL WITH IMPROVED OPERATIONAL RANGE AND CAPACITY - An improvement in a gripping tool having a grip surface carried by movable grip elements and cam linkages to radially move the grip surface from a retracted to an extended position. The improvement involves a tri-cam linkage with cam pairs supporting bi-rotary to axial stroke activation and further cam linkages to cause radial stroke of the tool grip surface as a function of axial stroke.	11-05-2009
20080210063	Gripping Tool - A gripping tool includes a body assembly and gripping assembly with a grip surface adapted to move from a retracted position to an engaged position to radially engage a work piece in response to relative axial displacement. A linkage is provided to act between the body assembly and the gripping assembly which, upon relative rotation in at least one direction, of the body relative to the grip surface results in relative axial displacement of the grip surface to activate the gripping elements. This tool was developed for use on drilling and service rigs having top drives, and supports rapid engagement and release, hoisting, pushing, and rotating.	09-04-2008
