Publication number: 20090049967Abstract: The invention provides a hole punch structure. More particularly, one end of an exposed longitudinal handle is moved together with a slide rod in a hole-punching mechanism covered by a casing. Thus, when the other end of the handle is pressed down, the slide rod is also moved transversely, a push rod connected to the slide rod is also moved, and a tool shelf is pressed vertically downward to achieve a hole-punching operation of a punching post. This hole punch structure works according to the principle of lever of the longitudinal handle and becomes a completely covered, laborsaving and safe hole-punching apparatus.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2007Publication date: February 26, 2009Inventor: Chun-Yuan Chang
