Abstract
A trap to catch knockout plugs or 'pins' from casing inflation packers. The trap is mounted in the well casing above a float valve, and catches pins falling from casing inflation packers in the casing above it as these pins are broken off by a cementing plug descending into the well, thus preventing the loose pins from jamming the float valve open after cementing is completed. The trap comprises a generally cylindrical hollow body having rods extending laterally across its bore, and a collapsible pin guide mounted on top of the body to guide the pins into the body, where they are constrained above the float valve by the rods.
