Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
An isolation packer extension, comprising: a cylindrical middle body, said middle body including an axial bore therethrough for receiving an upper inner mandrel therein, a first axial counterbore communicating with an upper end of said middle body, and a second axial counterbore communicating with a lower end of said middle body; a bypass means, communicating said first axial counterbore with said second axial counterbore; a spacer coupling, connected at an upper end to said middle body, said spacer coupling being constructed for connection at its lower end to a lower body, to which lower body is attached a lower packer assembly; and a lower inner mandrel, an upper end of which is closely received in said axial bore of said middle body, and a lower end of which is constructed to be closely received within an axial bore of said lower body.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
142 words
An isolation packer extension, comprising: a cylindrical middle body, said middle body including an axial bore therethrough for receiving an upper inner mandrel therein, a first axial counterbore communicating with an upper end of said middle body, and a second axial counterbore communicating with a lower end of said middle body; a bypass means, communicating said first axial counterbore with said second axial counterbore; a spacer coupling, connected at an upper end to said middle body, said spacer coupling being constructed for connection at its lower end to a lower body, to which lower body is attached a lower packer assembly; and a lower inner mandrel, an upper end of which is closely received in said axial bore of said middle body, and a lower end of which is constructed to be closely received within an axial bore of said lower body.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
70 words
Apparatus of claim 1, wherein: said middle body further includes a first radial bore, intersecting said first axial counterbore of said middle body, and a second radial bore, intersecting said second axial counterbore of said middle body; and said bypass means includes an outer jacket defining an annular bypass cavity between said outer jacket and said cylindrical middle body, said bypass cavity communicating with said first and second radial bores.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
Apparatus of claim 1, wherein: said middle body includes a radially inward projecting ridge dividing said axial bore into an upper and a lower bore portion.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
62 words
Apparatus of claim 3, wherein: said upper bore portion has disposed therein an annular groove for receiving a resilient sealing ring to seal between said upper inner mandrel and said upper bore portion; and said lower bore portion has disposed therein an annular groove for receiving a resilient sealing ring to seal between said lower inner mandrel and said lower bore portion.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
Apparatus of claim 1, wherein: said lower inner mandrel includes a radially outward projecting ridge for engagement with said lower body to limit downward movement of said lower inner mandrel relative to said lower body.
