Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
Apparatus for containing a sample, comprising: outer tubular member having engaging means at each extreme end and an interior opening therethrough, first end member disposed partially in said tubular member and sealingly contacting said interior opening, second end member disposed partially in said tubular member and sealingly contacting said interior opening and having a projection thereon, first and second ring members for releasably engaging said engaging means of said tubular member and fixedly restraining said end members in said tubular member, piston means disposed in said tubular member operating in conjunction with said second end member for providing uniaxial forces on such a sample and having a projection thereon, pressure transmitting member sealingly disposed around such a sample, said projection of said second end member, and said projection of said piston means, means for applying pressure to said pressure transmitting member, and means for moving said piston means.
