Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A gas sampler device has a top plate with a concaved outer wall. The concaved outer wall allows users easily to lift the top plate off of the bottom plate without disturbing the bottom plate because the curved surface permits more positive contact between the outer wall and users' fingers. Moreover, the weight of the top plate is reduced by approximately twenty percent compared to conventional top plates, a feature that also makes it easier for users to lift the top plate off of the bottom plate.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A gas sampler device comprising: a top plate having a top section and a downward turned side with an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the inner surface is straight and substantially orthogonal to the top section and the outer surface is concaved inward; and, a bottom plate having a top surface and a receiving portion at the top surface for receiving a dish, the top surface of said bottom plate mating with the side wall of said top plate. 2 . The gas sampler device of claim 1 , the side having a top portion with a beveled outer corner formed between the side and the top section. 3 . The gas sampler device of claim 1 , the side having a top lip that is configured to engage a user's finger. 4 . The gas sampler device of claim 3 , the side having a bottom lip. 5 . A top plate for a gas sampler device, said top plate having a concaved outer wall that curves inward around the outer circumference of the top plate.
