DEVICE FOR PROTECTING A GEOTECHNICAL OR GEOPHYSICAL PROBE

摘要

The invention relates to a device (1) for protecting a geotechnical or geophysical probe (13) having an elongated shape and capable of undergoing radial deformation, characterised in that it comprises: a plurality of flexible members (2) having an elongated shape and capable of undergoing radial deformation in a functional configuration of the device (1); means for the longitudinal compensation of the radial deformation of the flexible members (2) in a functional configuration of the device (1); two flexible member bearings (301, 302) each receiving an end of the flexible members (2), the bearings (301, 302) being capable of longitudinal movement on the probe (13) so that the flexible members (2) longitudinally protect the outer portion of the probe (13) between said bearings (301, 302) in a functional configuration of the device (1).
