HIGH LOAD, THIN SLIP SYSTEM

摘要

A high-load slip system allows better transmission of loads from the slips (32) to the body (30). The cone (36) comprises longitudinal slots (42) and t he body comprises tabs (46) which are disposed in those slots. The load is transferred from the slips to the cone and into the tabs which reside in the slots. The arrangement can be configured to share the load between the tabs extending from the body and the actual body itself after a small amount of collapse on the cone, leaving the body to support the cone, both through the tabs and on the outside diameter.
