Anchor mechanism

1. An anchor mechanism configured for use with a downhole tool, comprising:

a member with a plurality of fingers;

a channel positioned between the plurality of fingers, the channel including a first portion and a second portion, wherein a minimum width across the channel between the first portion and the second portion is narrower than a distal end of the channel across the second portion of the channel and a proximal end of the channel across the first portion of the channel, the second portion included angled walls extending to the minimum width;

a slip configured to move along the angled walls of the second portion of the channel from the distal end of the channel toward the first portion of the channel, wherein a fluid flow path is created between the first portion of the channel and an inner surface of a first end of the slip after the first end of the slip moves radially outward and axially along the angled walls of the second portion of the channel, wherein when the first end of the slip moves along the angled walls of the second portion of the channel the first end of the slip is positioned radially outside the first portion of the channel.

2. The anchoring mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the first portion includes first tapered walls that decrease a width across the first portion of the channel from the proximal end of the channel to the minimum width.

3. The anchoring mechanism of claim 2 , wherein the angled walls of the second portion increase a width across the second portion of the channel from the distal end of the channel to the minimum width.

4. The anchor mechanism of claim 1 , further comprising:

a retaining device configured to secure the slip against the member before the slip moves along the angled walls of the second portion of the channel.

5. The anchor mechanism of claim 4 , further comprising:

webbing extending across the channel, wherein the retaining device is a shear pin projecting away from the webbing, the shear pin being configured to restrict the movement of the slip, wherein the shear pin is configured to shear responsive to the slip moving along the angled walls of the second portion of the channel.

6. The anchor mechanism of claim 1 , further comprising:

a wire configured to secure the slip against the member before the slip moves along the angled walls of the second portion, wherein an inner surface of the first end of the slip is tapered to decrease a thickness of the first end of the slip, the body of the slip extending from the first end of the slip to a second end of the slip, the body of the slip having a substantially constant inner diameter.

7. The anchor mechanism of claim 1 , further comprising:

a coupling mechanism coupled to the member, the coupling mechanism including a first tubular section having first circumferential grooves, the first circumferential grooves being positioned on an outer surface of the first tubular section, and

a second tubular section having second circumferential grooves, the second circumferential grooves being positioned on an outer surface of the second tubular section, wherein the second tubular section being configured to be slid over the first tubular section to co-axially align the first circumferential grooves and the second circumferential grooves.

8. The anchor mechanism of claim 7 , further comprising:

at least one wire located with the first circumferential grooves and a complimentary one of the second circumferential grooves, wherein each pair of the first circumferential grooves and the second circumferential grooves include the at least one wire extending around a circumference of the coupling mechanism.

9. The anchor mechanism of claim 8 , further comprising:

a window extending through the first member, wherein the at least one wire is joined through the window.

10. The anchor mechanism of claim 1 , wherein the fluid flow path is provided when the slip is engaged onto a casing wall.
