ABSTRACT:
A swab assembly for use within a pump barrel includes a longitudinal swab bypass mandrel which has a top end connectable to a reciprocating member and at least one longitudinal bypass channel on its circumference and axially spaced stop shoulders at each end of the bypass channel with a smooth sealing portion between the bottom end of the bypass channel and the lower stop shoulder. At least one swab cup is slidable vertically on the bypass mandrel between an uppermost fluid bypass position and a lowermost fluid lifting position. The swab cup has a generally cylindrical outer body formed of flexible resilient material surrounding a tubular metal sleeve and has a central longitudinal bore coaxial with the bore of the sleeve. The cup body has an upper portion extending beyond the top end of the sleeve and a lower portion extending below the bottom end of the sleeve. The mandrel upper stop shoulder forms a stop for the swab cup in its uppermost position and the lower stop shoulder forms a stop for the swab cup in its lowermost lifting position. The swab cup interior diameter allows fluid circulation through the mandrel bypass channel in the uppermost position and in the lowermost lifting position forms a fluid sealing relation on the bypass mandrel sealing portion to close off circulation through the bypass channel. The upper portion of the swab cup forms a sliding fluid sealing relation with the interior surface of the pump barrel.
