Abstract

A concave section such as an extension section, a cutting section, and a notch section is provided to receive a lid of a float valve in an inside of outer tube assembly of a drill string. Thus, when the float valve is provided for the drill string, it is made possible to collect a core with a larger diameter by a thinner drill string, by expanding the inner diameter of the drill string.
