Abstract

For use in a well jar, a mounting apparatus for resilient elongate snubbers is described. In the preferred and illustrated embodiment, parallel elongate resilient snubbers are formed on metallic backing strips. They are profiled to define sloping elongate sides which slidably fit within undercut grooves. The undercut grooves extend from an encircling shoulder to enable easy insertion into the grooves. The shoulder is adjacent to an encircling narrow neck, thereby enabling an expandable lock ring to be positioned in the neck, securing the resilient snubbers in position.
