  • Patent number: 8336750
    Abstract: A stapler 100 is provided with a driver 5 provided at a forward end of the driver arm 4, as shown in FIG. 20A, driving a staple 30 out according to any predetermined clinching force, the driver 5 having projections 5b, 5b which contact portions of the staple 30 over the legs of the staple pushed against the front inner wall of the magazine 3 by a staple-pushing member 40. Accordingly, the clinching force is transferred to the legs through the projections 5b, 5b of the driver 5 so that the clinching force can be concentrated onto the legs. Furthermore, a staple-pushing member 40 pushes the staple 30, so that it is possible to prevent buckling from occurring in the legs.

  • Patent number: 8002161
    Abstract: A stapler includes a base, a magazine part rotatably supported by a rear end portion of the base, a handle part configured to strike the staple, and a clincher part provided on a front portion of the base to fold legs of the staple which has been struck. A width of a clincher groove in a front and rear direction is larger than a width of a side face of the staple. A bottom face of the clincher groove includes a flat face section provided on a rear side in the front and rear direction and an slope face section provided on a front side. The flat face section is substantially perpendicular to a direction in which staple is struck, and the slope face section is inclined such that a front side of the slope face section is higher than the rear side of the slope face section.

  • Publication number: 20090272781
    Abstract: A stapler has a handle formed in a U-shape and a driver unit that is attached to a front end of the handle and a magazine that stores staples therein. The driver unit includes a driver plate fixed to a front portion of a driver holder. A rear portion of the handle and a rear portion of the magazine are concentrically and pivotally connected. Arms, each protruding from respective sides of the driver holder, are movably inserted into respective engaging holes formed on each of the side plates of the handle. When the handle is initially pushed down, rear upper parts of the driver holder come in contact with an upper inner surface of the handle so that a leading end of the driver plate is inclined toward a front side of the magazine.

  • Publication number: 20090159637
    Abstract: A stapler includes a base, a first support portion disposed on the base, a support plate formed in the vicinity of the first support portion on each side of the base, a second support portion formed on the support portion so as to project therefrom, a staple storing magazine and an inner handle, both provided swingably on the first support portion, a driver plate disposed on the inner handle so as to strike out a staple, and an outer handle provided swingably on the second support portion. The outer handle includes a first handle member having a first half hole portion engageable with an upper portion of the two second support portion, and a second handle member having a second half hole portion engageable with a lower portion of the second support portion. The first handle member and the second handle member are connected integrally.

  • Patent number: 4784026
    Abstract: A hand held pneumatic screw aligner feeder device which may be used in any orientation incorporates a container for loose screws made up of two cup shaped walls forming a hopper, a groove between the walls used to align the screws, a separator to keep unaligned screws out of the groove, a chute to carry the screws to a pawl which allows only a single screw to be delivered to a transfer chamber and an inlet for compressed air along one of the hopper walls. The device may be coupled to a pneumatic screw tightener such that a screw in the transfer chamber is forced down a hose to the nose of the tightener so that the screw may be forced into an external surface. An actuating valve system within the aligner feeder tightener device, coupled to the tightener nose allows compressed air to flow to the aligner feeder when the tightener is not in use, and to the tightener only when the tightener is activated.

  • Patent number: 4156443
    Abstract: A binding lace for a novel automatic binder developed by the present inventors is disclosed. The binding lace is continuously thrusted from only one side of the binding lace into a lace guide positioned around an object to be bound and then travels while sliding along the lace guide without buckling to form loops of several turns overlapping each other. During travelling, the binding lace is sent in the lace guide without standing still, due to the properties of an outer portion and a core portion of the binding lace, while the binding lace always expands elastically outwardly in radial direction of the lace guide due to the larger rigidity and tensile stress of the core portion to hold a looped configuration with the loops having substantially the same diameter as the lace guide. After travelling stops, the binding lace is capable of holding the same diameter of the loops and a tip portion of the binding lace is held in the neighborhood of the overlap of the loops.

  • Patent number: 4094342
    Abstract: An automatic binding device or binder for binding a long material such as a bundle of electric wires with a lace by actuating the mechanisms associated therewtih according to pilot signals produced when the lace passes through the mechanisms. In this respect, a lace used should afford given rigidity and flexibility. This binder includes a guide member which may be opened and closed, and is formed with guide channels running along its inner peripheral surface for guiding a lace for use in binding. The guide member is formed with a lead-in hole for a lace on one side and a lead-out hole on the opposite side. For smooth guiding of a lace through guide channels, there is used a reversibly rotatable roller mechanism or a combination of the roller mechanism with a vibrating mechanism for vibrating a lace being guided through the guide channels. The lace paid out through the lead-out hole from the guide member is gripped by a lace gripping mechanism on the tip portion of the lace.
