An open throat power tong 10 as commonly used for making up and/or breaking apart an oilfield tubular connection, comprising a tong body 20, a tong door assembly 40, a partial ring member 30 and a ring segment 150. The partial ring member 30 and ring segment 150 may not be structurally connected and each may support one or more jaw members thereon for gripping a tubular 11. The partial ring member 30 and ring segment 150 may rotate substantially in unison along a substantially common plane and about a common axis, along a defined rotation course through the tong body 20 and door 40. The ring segment 150 may be substantially secured within the door when the door 40 is opened. An improved latch mechanism 100 is included for securing the door 40 to the tong body 20 to facilitate relatively easy closing and latching and unlatching of the door 40 with the tong body 20, and to prevent expansion of the open throat 25 during application of high torque. |
