  • Patent number: 6942136
    Abstract: A staple apparatus is installed in a stapler so the stapler can staple stacks of paper with different thicknesses without having to change staples or components in the stapler. The apparatus cuts legs of a staple to a proper length after the staple has been driven completely into a stack of paper and bends the protruding ends to bind the stack of paper together. The apparatus performs these operations with a cutter, a bending template, and a cutting anvil in conjunction with a sliding bracket and a cutter actuator. Operation of the cutter is delayed by a staple driver actuator until the staple has completely penetrated the stack of paper.

  • Patent number: 6883697
    Abstract: An office tool assembly has a tool and a hanging cap. The tool is selectively inserted into and held in the hanging cap. A protrusion is moveably mounted on the tool to engage with a through hole defined in the cap to keep the tool from falling out of the hanging cap. A transverse hole is defined in the hanging cap through which a string extends, such that the tool assembly can be hung around a person's neck. Accordingly, a user can conveniently and safely carry the tool assembly to any desired place for use.
