  • Multiple impact motor drive for stapling
    Patent number: 5818186
    Abstract: An electric stapler is provided with current in multiple pulses in order to penetrate a thick stack of paper. The stapler is provided with current sufficient to staple a thin stack of paper. If the stapler does not complete its staple function after a time period corresponding to anticipated completion of the cycle, the current is interrupted. The current is then reapplied after the load on the stapler has attenuated. The reapplication of current results in a hammering action. This permits a thicker stack of paper to be stapled with a stapler which is optimized for the thin stack.
