Latest Patents
Tømmermo's latest patents include the "Safety Joint" and the "Cylinder Release Arrangement." The Safety Joint invention relates to a safety joint and a method of operation. It comprises a first riser part and a second riser part that overlap in an axial direction, featuring end connections that can be connected as part of a riser. The release unit locks the two riser parts together in a non-activated mode, with other modes including a partly activated mode and a fully activated mode. The release unit includes at least one axially extending tension rod that connects the two riser parts. This tension rod is designed to deform plastically before breaking, thereby activating the partly and fully activated modes.
The Cylinder Release Arrangement invention involves a cylinder with a piston inside, closed off by a cylinder head at one end. This arrangement forms a chamber between the piston and the cylinder head. The cylinder is designed to allow fluid leakage from one side of the piston to the other when the piston is in a specific position. Additionally, release means are provided for the controlled release of the cylinder head from the cylinder. This invention also includes a cylinder arrangement with a release mechanism.
