Abstract
1374837 Making underwater connections SUBSEA EQUIPMENT ASSOCIATES Ltd 6 Sept 1972 [11 April 1972] 41307/72 Heading F2G A connection frame 20 carrying a conduit 33 and a guide structure 11 is connected by a locking head portion 22 to a device 3 on a baseplate 1 anchored to a submerged surface. As shown, the frame 20 carries the locking head 22 on a shaft 18 and is pulled by a cable 19 attached to a surface vessel which is also used in placing the baseplate 1 on a pile 2. Sections of the conduit 33 are assembled on the surface vessel and connected to a swivel joint 36 and elbow 35 in the frame 20. The frame is pulled into the receiving and attachment device 3. Radial blades 25 tear away any seaweed, etc. which may be caught on the locking head 22 as it enters the device 3. Further pull on the cable 19 causes a shear pin 16 connecting an inner sleeve 15 within a housing 12 to shear. The sleeve 15 slides to a stop member 17 withdrawing a keeper pin 14 to free a latch 13. The latch 13 is then urged by a spring 38 to drop behind a shoulder 32 on the head 22 to lock the head in the device 3 and hence to the baseplate 1. When the latch 13 falls a contact 39 closes to operate a signalling device 41. The end of the vertical section of pipe 33 is plugged with packing 8 and closed by a cap 9. These may be removed by a rod string and apparatus is then used to effect a connection with the conduit 33 to a further pipe (38) (Fig. 7 not shown, and Specification 1,374,838; see this Division).
