Patent attributes
A well tool device includes a mandrel device having an axial center axis, a housing device provided radially outside of the mandrel device, and a ratchet system. The ratchet system includes a grooved outer surface area of the mandrel device, a first locking ring including a grooved inner surface area engaged with the grooved outer surface area of the mandrel device, a grooved outer surface area, and an axial slit allowing radial expansion of the first locking ring. The first locking ring is engaged with the outer housing. The ratchet system is configured to allowing relative axial movement between the mandrel device and the first locking ring in a first axial direction and to prevent relative axial movement between the mandrel device and the locking ring in a second direction opposite of the first direction. The ratchet system further includes a second locking ring provided radially outside the first locking ring, the second locking ring including a grooved inner surface area engaged with the grooved outer surface area of the first locking ring, and an axial slit allowing radial expansion of the second locking ring. The second locking ring is engaged with the outer housing.
