The tall flange rubber adapter attaches to the inner barrel of a rotating head assembly. A rubber attaches to the tall flange rubber adapter. The rubber secured to the rubber adapter also rotates with the inner barrel thus maintaining the seal with the drill string to divert the drilling fluid from the well to the outlet flange. Fasteners install upward into the adapter and the inner barrel to secure the rubber adapter with the inner barrel. The increased height of the rubber adapter provides additional surface for the fastener to contact. The increased contact of the fastener with the tall flange maintains the fastener within the rubber adapter and the inner barrel to limit fasteners from falling downhole into the drilling area.

The adapter assembly extends outward from an inner structure such as an outer barrel or nipple base to attach the inner structure to a housing such as a bowl. Each sized inner structure fits a specified bowl for attachment of the inner structure to the bowl. The adapter assembly extends outward from the inner structure to fit one of the available sizes needed for attachment to the bowl. The adapter assembly is characterized by a first attachment body and a second attachment body. The adapter assembly attaches to the exterior of the inner structure to increase the surface exterior of the outer surface for attachment of the inner structure to the bowl.

An improved top pot assembly utilizes an attachment body for attaching the rubber to a bearing assembly for rotation with the inner barrel. The attachment body simplifies the replacement of the rubber on the drilling assembly. The attachment body provides a guide that slopes downward into the central aperture and the bore to guide the mandrel and drilling string towards the bore. The attachment body also provides a stripper receiver for attachment of the rubber to the attachment body. The attachment body attaches to the housing which attaches to the bearing assembly for rotation of the rubber and the inner barrel.

The modular bowl system provides a detachable bowl top and a modular bottom. The bowl top detaches to allow for easy repair of the bowl system should the bowl top become damaged. The detachable modular bottom securing to the bowl body for attaching the bowl body to the annular. The modular bottom provides a fixed attachment or a rotatable attachment of the bowl body with the annular. The modular bottom provides different sized bottom flanges for attachment to different sized annulars. The bowl body rotates for positioning of the bowl and the outlets and the inlet of the bowl for attachment to the flow line.

The sealed lubricating head provides a lubricating compartment with no oiler or oil lines. The lubricating compartment is sealed by a top seal and a bottom seal that seals between the inner barrel and the outer barrel. The sealed lubricating head provides a bottom seal that seals the lubricating compartment. A rubber adapter secures the seal while also securing the rubber to the inner barrel.

The pipe wiper assembly of the present invention assists with wiping the pipe as the pipe is removed from the hole ('tripped out'). The pipe passes through the two pipe apertures of the pipe wiper assembly during the removal. Two upper containment arms adjust between an open position and a closed position within the housing to form the upper pipe aperture. The lower containment lip forms the lower piper aperture. The upper containment arms and lower containment lip partially enclose the housing to prevent the wiper from exiting the wiper storage. The containment arms slideably adjust to eliminate the need for hinges. The removal of the hinges provides for easier storage and transportation of the pipe wiper assembly. The removal of hinges also reduces manufacturing costs of the pipe wiper assembly.

The connector body attaches to the bowl for a rotating head assembly. The connector body welded to the bowl secures the conductor pipe to the bowl. An inner aperture of the connector body accepts the bowl and the conductor pipe. Fasteners insert into the connector body to secure the conductor pipe within the connector body. An attachment shoulder that extends inward from the outer wall narrows the inner aperture. The bowl rests on top of the attachment shoulder. The bowl inserts vertically downward into an upper opening of the connector body to the attachment shoulder. The conductor pipe inserts into a lower opening of the connector body. The fasteners insert radially into the connector body to secure the conductor pipe within the connector body. The attachment shoulder limits movement of the bowl and the conductor pipe within the inner aperture of the connector body.

The swivel device attaches to a bowl or is implemented as a component of the bowl. The swivel device enables adjustment of the bowl to align the outlet with the flowline. A flange of the swivel device includes multiple fastener apertures for securing the flange to the stack. The swivel device secures the bowl to the stack while allowing rotation of the bowl. Rotation of the bowl adjusts the positioning of the outlet to align the outlet with the flowline for connecting the outlet to the flowline.

The sealed grease head provides a grease compartment with no oiler or oil lines. The grease compartment is sealed by a top seal and a bottom seal that seals between the inner barrel and the outer barrel. The sealed grease head provides a bottom seal that seals the grease compartment. A rubber adapter secures the seal while also securing the rubber to the inner barrel.
