Abstract:
The present invention provides a novel clutch connector assembly for jointed pipe, threaded pipe, coiled tubing or any threaded or non-threaded pipe for a bottom hole assembly that eliminates the need to use screw threads to mate two pipes or mechanical assemblies, harbors a spring-loaded mechanical locking system in addition in to a pressure-activated, component protectant system, requires no significant tools, other than an Allen wrench or similar screw setting device, permits distributed torque loading, allows for movement in either a clockwise or counter clockwise rotational direction through interlocking castellations and presents a removeable and replaceable valve assembly preventing retrograde hydrocarbon advancement through a drilling pipe.
