Abstract: In an organizing device comprising a stapler and a hole punch, the magazine for the staples is exploitable substantially over its entire length, since the spring for feeding the staples is arranged transverse to the feed direction and is fastened outside of the magazine. Due to this space-saving arrangement of the spring the device can be built very narrow, so that it is quite possible to carry it in a briefcase or to fasten it within a thin ring binder.A first rocking lever operates the hole punch and a second rocking lever operates the stapler. A latch or translatable driver arrangement selectively couples the first and second rocking levers for joint action of the hole punch and the stapler and disengages them for independent action.
