Abstract

Method and apparatus for decreasing drag force in a mechanism for releasing a mandrel is provided. The mandrel is released by a collet, which is controlled by a trigger sleeve. Most of the axial force on the collet is relieved, thereby decreasing the frictional force exerted by the collet on the mandrel after it is released.
