A sampling probe is disclosed for obtaining a sample of granular material from a bulk quantity of such material to facilitate inspection of the sample. The probe includes a sampling tube assembly operative to receive a granular sample therein when inserted into a bulk quantity of grain or the like, the sampling tube assembly being operative to isolate the sample and thereafter discharge the sample into a mixing chamber from which the sample is withdrawn through a delivery tube for transfer to an inspection site.

A sampling probe for obtaining a sample of granular material from a bulk quantity of such material, said probe comprising, sampling tube means including an elongate sampling tube adapted to be inserted into a bulk quantity of granular material, means operatively associated with said elongate sampling tube and defining a mixing chamber extending substantially along the length of said sampling tube and adapted for insertion into said granular material with said sampling tube, said sampling tube having at least one first opening therein opening outwardly of said tube for receiving a granular sample therein, and having at least one second opening therein communicating with said mixing chamber, said sampling tube means including means operatively associated with said elongate sampling tube for selective registration with said openings therein so as to facilitate sequential entry of granular sample into said elongate sampling tube through said first opening, close said first opening to isolate said sample in said elongate sampling tube, and thereafter effect discharge of said sample into said mixing chamber, and delivery means operatively associated with said mixing chamber to facilitate removal of granular sample therefrom for transfer to an inspection site.
