Abstract
An apparatus for sampling staple fibers containing foreign matter is disclosed. A clamping device is provided comprising upper and lower jaws pivoted with respect to each other. The upper jaw is segmented on one end to allow for localized deflection of the individual segments when foreign material is present. On the other end a spring assembly is provided to insure proper clamping pressure during and after the taking of a sample.
