ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a bridge plug for use in a well bore for engagement with the wall of a tubing extending down the bore. The bridge plug includes a sealing and an anchoring mechanism slidably disposed on a mandrel. The sealing mechanism includes sealing elements which are expandable radially outwardly to engage the tubing wall when the elements are compressed. The anchoring mechanism includes first and second sleeves axially movable relative to one another and having radially inwardly sloped first and second ramps respectively. The ramps define a recess therebetween and slips having complementary ramps are received into the recess. The first and second ramps cooperate to force the anchoring member radially outwardly into engagement with the tubing wall upon axial movement of said first ramp towards said second ramp. The plug also includes a ratchet for locking the sealing mechanism and the anchoring mechanism in engagement with the tubing wall.
