  • Patent number: 11427384
    Abstract: An interchangeable dismountable hinged box for storing core samples is provided that is particularly used in the field of the collection of mineral materials, deriving from geological exploration activities, for subsequent analysis. The interchangeable dismountable hinged box has modular walls that can be fitted interchangeably with a base allowing for the hinging of these walls between a parallel position and a position perpendicular to the base. The box has at least one storage compartment for core samples defined between two modular transversal walls and two modular longitudinal walls, and may contain additional storage compartments, obtained by interlocking interchangeable partitions with modular walls. The box is adaptable for meeting the need for storing core samples of varying diameters.

  • Patent number: 11192686
    Abstract: A box for packaging core samples from rock drilling is provided, used in particular in the field of mineral sampling from geological exploration activities for subsequent analysis. The box is defined by a structure formed by a single body produced by injection molding of a thermoplastic material which includes female fittings and male fittings for laterally interlocking the boxes, closing and locking devices for the cover on the box, anatomical transport handles, openings and channels for draining liquid fractions and texturing for identifying the collected samples.

  • Publication number: 20200283196
    Abstract: This invention describes an interchangeable dismountable hinged box (C) for storing core samples, particularly used in the field of the collection of mineral materials, deriving from geological exploration activities, for subsequent analysis. The invention reveals a box (C) comprising modular walls (2 and 3) that can be fitted interchangeably with a base (1), allowing for the hinging of these walls (2 and 3) between a parallel position and a position perpendicular to the base (1). The box (C) comprises at least one storage compartment (C1) for core samples (T) defined between two modular transversal walls (2) and two modular longitudinal walls (3), and may comprise additional storage compartments (C1), obtained by interlocking interchangeable partitions (4) with modular walls (2). The box (C) is adaptable as it meets the need for storing core samples (T) of varying diameters.

  • Publication number: 20190169949
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a modular storage box system for storing core samples (1) in modular boxes (C), used in particular in the field of mineral sampling from geological exploration activities for subsequent analysis. The modular storage box system (1) for storing core samples (not shown) is formed from the combination of at least one base (2) with an extending module (3 or 30) so as to form a modular box (C) for storing and transporting core samples (not shown), comprising connecting areas (25) that provide a sealing means between the compartments (20) of modular box (C) so as to prevent the unintentional switching of sample materials thus ensuring integrity of same and connecting means (5) between the elements to interlock them in a safe and practical way. Advantageously, such a system aims to facilitate handling, transportation and storage of samples in a practical and safe way thus ensuring the integrity of same.
