Abstract:
A rotatable plate is configured to be coupled to a rotary table of a rig floor. The rotatable plate defines a central passage through which a tubular can be passed. Multiple arms each have a first end rotably coupled to the rotatable plate. The arms are hinged such that a distal end of the arms, away from the rotatable plate, are configured to move towards or away from the passage. Each of arms extends away from the rotatable plate towards the passage. The arms are biased away from the passage. Rollers are rotably coupled to one of the distal ends of the arms.
