摘要 |
The present invention provides an improved power tong (1) having a body (2) with a rotating assembly (6). The power tong (1) further has a plurality of jaw members (20, 21, 35) positioned within the rotating assembly (6) with two of the jaw members being pivoting jaws (20, 21) adapted to interlock when in a closed position. In an alternate embodiment, the improved power tong (1) will have a compensating jaw assembly (35, 37) to limit the axial load placed on the tubular member (13) being gripped.
