大庆石油学院本科生毕业设计（论文） - PAGE 1 - - PAGE 11 - APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR HANDLING PIPE Referring to Figures 1 to 13, there is shown an apparatus of the present invention generally identified by the reference numeral 1. In the art of handling pipes on a drilling rig, the apparatus 1 is often referred to as an elevator. The elevator 1 comprises a part cylindrical body 2 having lifting ears 3 and 4 arranged on opposing sides of the housing 2 for connection to a pair of bails 5, as shown in Figure 14. Doors 6 and 7 are hinged to the body 2 on hinge pins 8 and 9. A latch 10 is provided to latch the two doors 6 and 7 together to inhibit the doors 6 and 7 from inadvertent opening due to operational mechanical shocks. The body 2 has a part frusto-conical inner surface 11 which tapers inwardly from the top to the bottom of the body 2 at an angle of approximately ten degrees from vertical to define an open throat 12, see Figures 1 and 10. From Figure 7 it can be seen that the part frusto- conical inner surface 11 subtends approximately one hundred and eighty degrees. The doors 6 and 7 each have a part frusto-conical inner surface 13 and 14 which taper inwardly from the top to the bottom at an angle of approximately ten degrees from vertical. The part frusto- conical inner surface 13 and 14 each subtend slightly less than quarter of a circle, approximately eighty-four degrees. When the doors 6 and 7 are closed, a substantially complete frusto-conical surface is defined. The complete frusto-conical surface may taper from top to bottom along a straight path, or may have a slight convex or concave curvature. The complete frusto-conical surface 11, 13 and 14 is commonly referred to as a bowl. As can be seen from Figure 2, four slips 15, 16, 17 and 18 are provided in and line the frusto-conical surfaces 11, 13 and 14. Each slip subtends slightly less than ninety degrees in their operating positions. Two of the slips 15 and 17 are arranged on the part frusto- conical inner-surface 11 of
