Abstract

A hollow core holder comprising a hollow cylinder with a passive cam locking element eccentrically rotatably mounted inside the cylinder such that a portion of the edge of the cam protrudes through a slot in the wall of the cylinder in one rotation status and is wholly within the cylinder in another rotation status. As the core holder is inserted into a hollow core, the cam comes into contact with the core, holding the core to the core holder until a release mechanism rotates the cam into the cylinder, out of contact with the core.
