Rod wrenching table

摘要

A training apparatus for training persons to assemble sucker rods to be placed in an oil well includes a frame. A first sucker rod portion is fixedly attached to and extends upwardly from the frame. A second sucker rod portion has an upper end connected to a resiliently extendable coil spring which in turn has its upper end connected to a swivel attached to the frame. The second sucker rod portion is resiliently and rotatably suspended above the first sucker rod portion. The resiliently extendable coil spring is so constructed that it may be extended by downward force so as to engage the first and second sucker rods through a threaded female coupling. This simulates the conditions present in the oil field when the sucker rods are being assembled and permits persons to practice the assembly and disassembly of sucker rods.
