Abstract:
An electric stapler to bind a set of sheets with staples, is provided with a cartridge to hold the staples, a magazine to guide the cartridge in the direction of the front surface of the set of sheets, a drive motor to contact with and separate from the magazine in relation to the set of sheets, a reduction means to reduce and control angular velocity of the drive motor, and a driver plate to drive down the staples into the set of sheets through the driving force of the drive motor, performs a series of binding processes in a short time with reducing impact caused by the magazine.
Abstract:
In a stapling device capable of automatically inserting one or more staples into piled sheets discharged from an image producing device or the like to bind the sheets, a staple driver unit for inserting the staple into the sheet and a clinching unit for bending the leg parts of the staple piercing the sheets are opposed to each other astride a sheet passage and operated to perform stapling by a simple stapling drive having a single power source. By operating the staple driver unit and the clinching unit by the single power source, the precise and stable stapling operation can be carried out with exquisite timing without using a high-level controlling system.
Abstract:
A power stapler in which the electromagnetic valve has a movable annular metal block which moves downwards to prevent the occurrence of a high striking noise when attracts the valve rod to strike the striking plate; the guard plate which stops staples in the magazine can be alternatively adjusted to the closed position to close the front end of the magazine, the open position to open the front end of the magazine for the loading of staples, or the mid-way position to partially close the front end of the magazine for permitting jammed staples to be removed from the magazine.
Abstract:
A stapler comprises a stapler head which accommodates a strip of wire staple blanks and is pivotable between a starting position and a working position, in which it is applied against a sheaf of papers. A staple shaper shapes the blanks into substantially U-shaped staples, and a staple driver releases the thus-formed staples from the strip and drives them one by one into the sheaf of papers. A pivotable operating device reciprocates the staple shaper and the staple driver. A drive device is adapted to pivot the operating device in such a manner that it causes the staple driver to drive a staple into the sheaf of papers in a driving stroke and causes the staple shaper to shape the following staple in a shaping stroke, as well as adapted to pivot the stapler head to its working position before the staple driver performs the driving stroke and retain it there during the driving stroke of the staple driver. The drive device synchronizes the pivotal movements of the stapler head and the operating device in such a manner that the staple driver performs a prolonged stroke in the driving direction and the staple shaper performs the last phase of the shaping stroke when the stapler head has left its working position in order to be pivoted back to its starting position.
Abstract:
A safety system for a power stapler in which stapling of a set of sheets is actuated by inserting the set of sheets into the stapling jaws of the stapler, includes a large transparent upper plate mounted above the entrance to the stapling jaws and extending away from the stapling jaws by a distance greater than the length of a human finger, more than approximately 8 centimeters, and a lower plate below the entrance to the stapling jaws similarly extending, to prevent fingers from being inserted into the stapling jaws of the stapler. The upper and lower plates are spaced apart by a distance greater than the maximum thickness of the set of sheets to be stapled, to allow any set of sheets to be inserted into the stapling jaws from in between the upper and lower plates and be movable for alignment between the plates while being visible through the transparent upper plate. The plates may be pivotally mounted to the stapler so as to fold up into a compact vertical storage position closely adjacent to the stapler when not in use, in which position access to the stapling jaws is blocked.
Abstract:
A powered stapler mechanism with a pivotal head mounted in a housing comprised of an upper portion and a lower portion including a lower floor and upstand structure to which the mechanism is anchored. The pivotal head is raised by cam means during the stapler cycle and the housing portions are lockable together using an axle and a slide lock.
Abstract:
A stapler apparatus which is provided with a needle feeding mechanism for feeding needles continuously formed in a band-like shape in succession to a driving-in station and which can prevent the band-like needles from moving backward and reliably feed the needles forwardly even if a backwardly moving force acts on the band-like needles in a state in which the leading needle is not bent.
Abstract:
An electric stapler wherein a guide cylinder is fixedly disposed on a base having a groove for bending a driven staple in such a way as to form a slit for inserting papers to be stapled, and in the guide cylinder is disposed a vertically movable block having at its lower end a downwardly projecting blade for driving the staple toward the staple bending groove. The block is always given a downward pull by springs. A working arm is swingably supported by a shaft fixedly disposed at a position spaced-apart from the guide cylinder, the arm being pivotally secured at one end to an upper part of the vertically movable block and having at its other end a pressure receiving portion. There is provided a damper whereby in the state before the staple driving operation, the pressure receiving portion is pressed down against the force of the springs to retain the staple driven blade of the block at its raised-up position, and when a staple is pushed out, the pressing hold on the blade at its raised-up position is released. The operation of the damper is controlled by a motor powered by a battery.
Abstract:
A staple forming and driving tool (10) employing a vertical front portion of a staple head base (34), and sheath (40) to provide a space for reciprocating former member (70) and driver (80). Spring (50) urges base (34) toward sheath (40) with spacer lugs (33) maintaining a defined distant between base (34) and sheath (40).A belt (94) is fed through an opening (100) in base (34) by a cartridge (90) which protrudes into opening (100) and belt advancing means (104, 112) is held inoperative by forming tang (75) during a portion of the forming and driving stroke to prevent movement of staple wire (200) during critical periods of such stroke.The former (70) is moved during the forming and driving stroke through a path which permits former lugs (72) to guide the former staple down to a point adjacent the workpiece (300).
