Abstract: A device for taking samples of bottom sediments from water basins includes at least one vertical sectional coring tube having a closed upper end provided with a check valve. The device includes, in the form of a cover, also a device for preventing the loss of a taken sample in the process of the device lifting, closing in a rest position the open lower end of the coring tube and being connected with the movable rod. The rod is secured by hinges to the carrying element. The upper end of the coring tube is secured to the carrying element.

Abstract: A device for taking samples of bottom sediments and bottom water from water basins comprises at least one vertical sectional coring tube having a closed upper end provided with a check valve. On the upper end of the coring tube a bathometer is secured so that the upper end of the coring tube is at the same time the lower end of the bathometer. The bathometer has in its upper end a check valve, a means in the upper part for intake of air and a means in the lower part for release of bottom water. The coring tube is secured by its upper end to the carrying element.

Abstract: A device for taking samples of bottom sediments from water basins, comprises a vertical sectional coring tube, a ballast weight, rod-type vertical supports and shock-absorbing units. The latter are made in the form of hollow cylinders with closed ends, with a plunger in each cylinder and installed in parallel with the coring tube from the outside. A hole is made in the upper and lower ends of each cylinder, and passed through the holes in the lower ends are the rod-type supports each of which is rigidly connected by one end with a respective plunger.
