A power apparatus and method for making and breaking joints in drill pipe strings in oil wells, in which a single torquing cylinder (24), that always moves in a single direction while torquing, both makes and breaks the joints. Three levels (21, 22, 23) of jaw elements (52, 52a) are employed, the top and bottom jaw levels (21, 23) being identical to each other, all jaw elements being interconnected as by a frame (10). Other cylinders (52, 52a) close the jaws (36, 37) at each level. The apparatus is moved vertically; two levels of jaw elements are employed for making and another combination of two levels is employed for breaking. Special die and cam means (66) are provided to grip the drill pipe. Means (94, 101) are provided to position the jaws in the middle level at the proper location after each use, for different sizes of pipe. Special bearing, pivot and adjustment means (66, 73) are provided in the jaw elements. The jaw elements operate in only one direction, and are self energizing.

La présente invention vise un appareil mécanique servant à visser et à dévisser les joints d'une tige de forage, comportant un cylindre de serrage (24) à déplacement en sens unique, conçu pour visser et dévisser les raccords de tiges. Le cylindre est du type à trois mâchoires (21, 22, 23), les mâchoires supérieure et inférieure (21, 23) étant identiques, et les trois étant reliées par un bâti commun. D'autres cylindres referment les mâchoires (36, 37) à chaque niveau. L'appareil se déplace dans le sens vertical. Une combinaison de deux mâchoires sert à visser les joints, et une autre combinaison de deux mâchoires sert à les dévisser. Des outils à came (66) spéciaux servent à retenir les tiges. Des dispositifs (94, 101) servent à repositionner la mâchoire médiane après chaque intervention sur des tiges de diamètres différents. Les mâchoires sont constituées de paliers, d'une articulation et de réglages spéciaux (66, 73). Elles fonctionnent dans un seul sens et sont autoserrantes.
