Patent number: 10969306Abstract: A device for collecting multiple samples for use by a single user while avoiding cross-contamination under adverse conditions is disclosed. A multiple sampling device comprising a single handle actuator with a trigger, connected to a shaft assembly further connected to a claw assembly for actuating a self-sealing sampling sphere in the process of collecting a desired sample, is disclosed. The sampling sphere comprises two halves that separate when the trigger and claw assembly are actuated, and close together when the trigger is released using springs on the claw assembly and sampling sphere. Additional sampling spheres are stored on the shaft assembly. In operation, once a sample is collected by one sampling sphere, the sampling sphere is exchanged with an empty sampling sphere stored on the shaft assembly.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2017Date of Patent: April 6, 2021Inventors: Seamus Lombardo, Ifechukwu Ononye, Cornato R Vella, Paul Stathis, Michael Esswein, Alexander Hathaway, Asad Esa
