Abstract
Apparatus for separably coupling one end of a sample container to an open end of a sample gathering net comprises an annular body adapted to be secured to the one end of the container and removably telescoped within the open end of the net. An elastomeric retainer encircles the end of the net and the body member and is accommodated in an annular groove formed in the body member. An annular anchor member encircles the elastomeric retainer and applies a radially compressive force on the latter to clamp the open end of the net in the groove of the body member. The anchor member has an annular groove in which the retainer seats to latch the body and anchor members together, the groove in the anchor member being of less depth than that of the groove in the body member.
