  • Stapler device and method
    Patent number: 7464844
    Abstract: A stapler device and a method of stapling an article. The stapler has a striker and a spring for driving the striker to apply a staple. During the stapling cycle, the striker and spring are cocked and loaded prior to being release to apply the staple. While the stapler is in the cocked and loaded position the stapling cycle is automatically interrupted to maintain the spring and the striker in the cocked and loaded position. The stapler device may be then moved to a second location before the interruption is discontinued by an actuator. Once the stapling cycle is continued, the cocked and loaded striker and spring are released to apply a staple. The device is also selectively capable of a second mode of operation wherein the stapling cycle is not interrupted.
