摘要
A housing (164) is attached to a tubular sub located within a tubing string suspended in an earth borehole, the connection being an angled ball channel (186) connected between the housing (164) and the tubular sub (84). A ball carrier (174) is provided within the interior of the housing (164) which can be moved in two opposite directions either using pneumatic or hydraulic pressure against one or two pistons (176, 188). The ball carrier (174) can have either two balls or three balls (167, 169, 170). The movement of the ba ll carrier by the applied pressure causes one of the pockets (167, 169, 171) holding the balls to be aligned with the ball channel which allows the balls to be successively dropped into the ball channel and thus into the interior of the tubing string. Means are provided for ensuring that the balls are droppe d in the proper sequence.
