Abstract
A tool catcher system includes a housing including an upper body connected to a lower body, the housing defining a central opening for receiving a tool. The tool catcher system also includes a plurality of segments and a hydraulic piston disposed between the upper body and the lower body. The hydraulic piston engages the plurality of segments, and a spring plate couples to and moves with the plurality of segments, which is configured to move between a closed position for catching the tool, and an open position for releasing the tool. The tool catcher system also includes a first spring that biases the spring plate in a first direction to catch the tool, and a second spring abutting against the hydraulic piston. The hydraulic piston is configured to move the plurality of segments and compress the second spring in a second direction opposite the first direction to release the tool.
