| Definition | A messenger-triggered gravity corer comprising a release mechanism developed by J.R. Glew in 1989. Applications revolve around the sampling of aquatic sediments for property analysis. The release mechanism consists of a sliding sleeve mounted co-axially with the operating line, and three spring-loaded latches that keep the closing piston in place and the core tube open. When the messenger is deployed, it slides along the operating line until it hits the top of the sleeve and activates the release mechanism. The Glew (1989) trigger mechanism design enables the corer to function reliably without precise station keeping above the sample. This mechanism can be suitably incorporated into Kajak-Brinkhurst (K-B) type corers and other similar lightweight instruments. Reference: https://doi.org/10.1007/BF00195474. | ||
