A subsea tensioner system that includes a one or more spring activated piston return subsea tensioners. The subsea tensioner system can use a spring activated subsea tensioner because the subsea tensioner system uses non-toxic fluid to drive a piston disposed within the subsea tensioner, and when the piston reaches a second position a fluid release valve is opened thus allowing the fluid used to drive the piston to be emptied into the local underwater environment. The subsea tensioner system eliminates the need for topside trips to return the piston to an initial position to take another stroke.

A method for automatically cycling a torque wrench. The method includes providing a hydraulic torque wrench. Providing an actuating device on the hydraulic torque wrench. Providing a switching device on the hydraulic torque wrench. Adapting the switching device to be activated by the actuating device when a piston of the torque wrench is at the end of a stroke. The embodiments of the method allow a user to ensure that a proper torque on a threaded fastener is achieved. This ensures that the pressure achieved within the system is a result of a proper torque applied to a threaded fastener being achieved, and not a result of the piston at the end of its stroke.

The present invention relates to a multi-swivel connector for a fluid operated power tool. The connector has a post with an axis, a swivel member having an axis perpendicular to the axis of the post, a mechanism for limiting rotation of the swivel member about said post axis to an arc less than 360 degrees, and a fitting member mounted to the swivel member. The fitting member is tiltable about the axis of the swivel member through at least a 90 degree arc and rotatable with the swivel member about the axis of the post.

The present invention relates to a flow regulation device for mitigating over travel of a piston in a fluid operated tool. The flow regulation device includes a flow channel through which flows an operating fluid to be supplied to operate the piston within the tool and a movable flow restrictor within the flow channel. The flow restrictor has an internal fluid passageway for regulating the flow rate of the operating fluid being supplied to the tool to operate the piston. The flow restrictor also has a frustoconical portion which mates or seats against a portion of the flow channel as fluid is being supplied to operate the piston. A spring is provided to insure that the frustoconical portion seats against the mating portion of the flow channel. When the piston is retracted and operating fluid is being returned to a supply, the force applied by the spring is overcome and the flow restrictor is moved so that the frustoconical portion is unseated from the mating portion.

An improved safety control mechanism for a pulley apparatus of the type comprising main support bars having at least two wheels mounted at their centers a spaced distance apart between the bars and a swing arm assembly pivotally connected to the bars at a point between the centers of the wheels, the swing arm assembly comprising a pair of arms straddling opposing surfaces of the bars and pivotally connected to the bars by a main pivot mechanism extending through complementary aligned apertures in the arms and the bars, the improvement comprising a second bolt mechanism extending through a second complementary aperture disposed in either the bars or the arms and a slot disposed in the other of the bars or the arms; the second aperture or the slot provided in the bars being disposed in the second distance between the center mountings of the wheels; the second aperture or the slot provided in the arms being aligned with the other of the second aperture or the slot provided in the bars with the arms and the bars connected by the main pivot bolt; the slot having an arcuate engagement surface which follows the pivot of the arms and engages the second bolt mechanism against detachment of the arms upon failure of the main pivot bolt; the second aperture and the slot being disposed around the complementary aligned apertures through which the main pivot bolt extends.
