Abstract:
A snout apparatus for guiding high pressure flexible lances between a lance drive apparatus and a flexible lance positioner apparatus includes one of a male tubular connector and a female tubular connector fitting adapted to fasten to a flexible lance drive apparatus, another one of a male and a female tubular connector fitting adapted to fasten to a flexible lance positioner, and a plurality of segments connected together in series so as to connect in series between the one and another connector fittings. Each segment may include a cylindrical tube portion sized to receive and pass therethrough flexible lances and a tubular collar portion connected to the tube portion. The collar portion has peripheral arcuate closed slots adjacent to and spaced around a distal end of the collar portion. Shoulder bolt fasteners are each fastened to a next segment tube portion and extend through one of the closed slots.
