Abstract
A high pressure mechanical plug device for sealing and locking into a high interior pressure pipeline. The mechanical plug device has a hollow cylindrical body structure with an end wall and a side wall structure having a plurality of apertures. A piston structure having an end wall and a frustoconical ram of a predetermined slope is provided for movement in the cylindrical body structure. An elastomeric sealing member is in communication with the end wall of the piston structure. A plurality of rigid securement members are provided for extension through the apertures of the cylindrical body structure and for slidingly engaging the frustoconical ram. A draw bolt extending axially from the frustoconical ram through the end wall of the cylindrical body is provided with a nut to move the piston structure into the cylindrical body to seal and lock the plug device in the pipeline.
