Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2354438A1] A core sampling apparatus (1) comprises a core sampler (2) and a frame (3) adapted to support said sampler (2), said frame (3) comprising a base (3a), a first mobile portion (3c) of the frame (3) being linked to said base (3a) by way of a plurality of linear actuators (4) arranged thereon. The core sampling apparatus also comprises a second mobile portion (3d) adapted to support the sampler (2) and slidable with respect to the first mobile portion (3c) by way of a pulley and rope system (5a, 5b, 6a, 6b), in which said pulleys (5a, 5b) are connected to the first mobile portion (3c) and said ropes (6a, 6b) are respectively connected at an end to the upper and lower ends of the second mobile portion (3d) and at the opposite end to the fixed portion of the frame (3) winding around the pulleys (5a, 5b). Thanks to this configuration, the core sampling apparatus has a very small bulk in a vertical direction substantially facilitating transportation and movement operations.
