  • Patent number: 8387952
    Abstract: A staple remover, with a staple removing blade, for removing a staple from a stack of sheets of paper. The staple remover prevents staple jams by providing a means for automatically discarding removed staples from the staple removing blade. The staple remover comprises a storage compartment and an elongate staple removing blade. The elongate staple removing blade comprises a longitudinally extending staple pulling surface and a laterally flared portion located at the apex of the staple pulling surface. The geometry of the elongate staple removing blade substantially resiliently deforms the legs of the staple, allowing the legs to spring back towards each other and project the staple into the storage compartment.

  • Patent number: 5653424
    Abstract: A staple remover for removing staples from stapled sheets and material. The staple remover has a handle and a set of interchangeable blades which can be releasably fixed to the front end of the handle. The blades extend through an aperture provided in the handle. The blades have a frontwardly tapering configuration. The blades are adapted to be slid between the stapled sheets and the crown section of the staple. Slidable insertion of the blade causes the staple to unclench. The staple remover also has a claw member slidably fixed to the substantially hollow handle. The claw member is adapted to pull the staples unclenched by the blade from the blade into the hollow handle. The hollow handle communicates with a used staple storage compartment. The used staple storage compartment is snappingly fixed to the handle and can be easily removed from the latter. The structure of the staple remover allows for the quick and easy fixing of interchangeable blades of different sizes to the handle.
