Description

Sample holder and one-touch transfer device {SAMPLE HOLDER AND ONE TOUCH TRANSFER DEVICE}

An embodiment of the present invention relates to a sample holder and a one-touch transfer device.

Certain tools are essential for handling or moving samples within a chamber (eg, a vacuum chamber, etc.).

At this time, the tools used to handle or move the sample in the chamber are not the same as human hands, so they are unstable in handling and cumbersome in operation.

For example, the sample holder has a hole for holding the sample that can receive and secure the sample. In addition, a rod-shaped long lever provided to fit the hole for holding the sample may be prepared.

The operator can handle or move the sample by performing various and cumbersome operations such as inserting, turning, or pulling the lever into the hole for holding the sample. The operator even had to perform complex movements, such as lifting the lever sideways.

On the other hand, when the sample holder is mounted, the sample holder may be separated from the holder mount and pushed out by a force applied to the sample, for example, an external impact or an external force, unexpectedly by an operator.

As such, conventionally, there is no locking function of the sample holder or there is a concern about a fall accident of the sample holder separated from the holder mount due to difficult locking operation, which caused serious damage and breakage of the sample holder.
