  • Publication number: 20210205970
    Abstract: A desktop stapler includes a base portion and a lever assembly pivotally coupled to the base portion at a pivot point. A gap is defined between the base portion and a distal end of the lever assembly opposite the pivot point. A biasing member is coupled to the lever assembly and biases the lever assembly away from the base portion. A first solenoid is operable to move the lever assembly relative to the base portion to decrease the gap. A second solenoid is operable to drive a staple from the lever assembly. A controller is programmed to sequentially actuate the first solenoid and the second solenoid.

  • Patent number: 10293877
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes an electronic device mount for a bicycle. The mount includes a pair of arms, wherein each arm is configured to receive a fastener. A cradle receives and retains the arms and each arm can rotate with respect to the cradle. An interface is connected to the cradle and is configured to be detachably connected to an electronic device. The arms are rotatable such that each arm aligns with a bore on a bicycle stem, and each arm is connected to the stem by securing the fasteners in the bores of the bicycle stem.
