CA 2701517

A device for collecting plant samples includes a punch and die mechanism for taking leaf plugs from plants. The punch itself includes a punch rod coaxially mounted inside a punch tube. In use, the punch tube has a distal end with two, diametrically opposed projections that interact with the formed aperture to cut a plug from a plant leaf. The punch rod then follows to remove a cut leaf plug from the formed aperture. Also included is a hydraulic subsystem for periodically delivering liquid on the punch and die mechanism to prevent plant debris from clogging the device.

L'invention concerne un dispositif de collecte d'échantillons végétaux qui comprend un mécanisme de poinçon et matrice pour prélever des morceaux de feuille des plantes. Le poinçon lui-même comprend une tige de poinçon co-axialement montée à l'intérieur d'un tube de poinçon. En utilisation, le tube de poinçon présente une extrémité distale avec deux saillies diamétralement opposées qui interagissent avec l'ouverture formée pour couper un morceau d'une feuille de plante. La tige de poinçon suit ensuite pour retirer le morceau de feuille coupé de l'ouverture formée. Il est également inclus un sous-système hydraulique pour distribuer périodiquement du liquide sur le mécanisme de poinçon et matrice pour empêcher les débris végétaux de boucher le dispositif.
