Abstract:
A gripper assembly for gripping coiled tubing with lower and upper ball carriers. A first gripper portion and a second gripper portion each have a channel for a bore through the gripper portions. Gripper portions can rotate in relation to each other. Rotation causes the gripper portion to close around an object that passes through the bore. With a translational force, the gripper portions rotate relative to each other to grasp an object.
