Abstract: A stapling device includes an anvil arm bearing an anvil plate; a magazine pivotable about a transverse pivot on a bearing block in the rearward region of the anvil arm; and an arm bearing a driver for feeding the staples through a discharge slot at the front end of the magazine and pivotable about the transverse pivot. The discharge slot extends transversely through a bottom wall of the magazine between the magazine side walls which run from the front end towards the bearing block and is bounded with respect to the magazine front end by a stop plate for the staples. The discharge slot is closed with respect to the side walls of the magazine. The magazine is provided on each of its side walls and on each side of the discharge slot with a prong projecting from the bottom wall.

Abstract: A paper punch includes a base part which has a positioning surface on the bottom side thereof for positioning the same on a table top. At least two punching tools are displaceably supported with respect to the base part to punch holes into documents. A hand-held applies pressure on the punching tools and is supported about a pivot axis in a limited pivoting manner by way of a front region of the base part. The base part has a grip cutout which is open toward the rear side of the base part and which is delimited toward the top by a ceiling wall extending at a distance from the positioning surface and toward the front by a transverse wall.

Abstract: A stapler has an anvil leg that supports an anvil plate in the front region, a staple magazine which can be swivelled to a limited degree about a transverse pin on a bearing block in the rear region of the anvil leg, and a driver leg which can be swivelled to a limited degree relative to the staple magazine and the anvil leg about the transverse pin. The driver leg supports a driver for guiding the staples through a gap at the front end of the staple magazine. The stapler has at least one guiding element which is arranged between the anvil plate and the bearing block. The guiding element longitudinally extends between the anvil leg and the staple magazine, is fixedly connected to the anvil leg, and is guided in a longitudinally movable manner within a guiding opening in a bottom wall of the staple magazine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a paper punch (10), comprising a base part (12), which has a positioning surface (40) on the bottom side thereof for positioning the same on a table top, comprising at least two punching tools (26) that are displaceably supported with respect to the bottom part (12) and provided for punching holes into documents, and further comprising a hand-held lever (22) for applying pressure on the punching tools (26), the lever being supported about a pivot axis (20) in a limited pivoting manner by way of a front region (14) of the bottom part (12) having a contact surface (28) for the documents, and the free end (24) thereof extending at a distance from the base part (12) in the direction of a rear side (16) of the base part (12).

Abstract: The invention relates to a stapling device (10) comprising: an anvil arm (12) which in its front region bears an anvil plate (14) on which documents can be placed; a staple magazine (20) which can be pivoted to a limited extent about a transverse pivot (18) on a bearing block (16) in the rearward region of the anvil arm (12); and a driver arm (22) which bears a driver for feeding the staples through a staple discharge slot (26) at the front end of the staple magazine (20) and which can be pivoted to a limited extent about the transverse pivot (18) with respect to the staple magazine (20) and the anvil arm (12), wherein the staple discharge slot (26) extends transversely through a bottom wall (24) of the staple magazine (20) between the magazine side walls (30) which run from the front end towards the bearing block (16) and is bounded with respect to the magazine front end by a stop plate (28) for the staples.

Abstract: The invention relates to a stapler (10, 110) comprising an anvil leg (12) that supports an anvil plate (18) in the front region, a staple magazine (26) which can be swiveled to a limited degree about a transverse pin (24) on a bearing block (22) in the rear region of the anvil leg (12), and a driver leg (34) which can be swiveled to a limited degree relative to the staple magazine (26) and the anvil leg (12) about the transverse pin (24) and supports a driver (36) for guiding the staples through a gap (38) at the front end of the staple magazine (26). According to the invention, the stapler (10, 110) further comprises at least one guiding element (42, 50, 52) which is arranged between the anvil plate (18) and the bearing block (22), longitudinally extends between the anvil leg (12) and the staple magazine (26), is fixedly connected to the anvil leg (12), and is guided in a longitudinally movable manner within a guiding opening (44) in a bottom wall of the staple magazine (26).

Abstract: The device includes an elongated electrical heating unit (20) whose length matches the length of an elongated opening in the device, and has a switching system to activate an electrical circuit at the moment when sheets to be bound are placed on the heating unit (20). Heating unit (20) is wired in series with a switch (11) in the switching system and a heating current switch (31). Means are provided to keep this heating current switch (31) turned on when the switching system is turned on. The device includes a comparator (34) whose input is connected to a temperature sensor (26); when a predetermined upper temperature limit (T.sub.max) is reached it turns off the heating current switch (31). There is also a provision so that after the heating current switch (31) is turned off it is kept off until the switch (11) in the switching system has been switched off and then on again.
