ABSTRACT:
A logging sonde for evaluating underground formations traversed by a borehole is disclosed. The sonde contains a frame which is free to rotate relative to the cylindrical body of the sonde. The frame supports a plurality of detector means including at least one detector which is free to rotate relative to the frame. Also attached to the frame are locking means including braking means and a solenoid for disengaging the braking means from their engaged surfaces. In a rest position, the braking means are arranged in such a manner as to lock the detector means relative to the cylindrical body. The invention is applicable, in particular, to geophones intended to detect seismic waves along three orthogonal axes, including a vertical axis, regardless of the tilt of the sonde.
