- With reference to
Figs. 1 and4 , to fill staples, the trigger assembly (30) is pulled upward, the trigger lever (31) is pivoted relative to the supporting base (10) and the pivot (35) slides along the rail on the auxiliary lever (34). Consequently, the magazine cap (23) is pivoted with the trigger lever (31) relative to the supporting base (10), and the staple magazine (21) is opened for filling staples. Accordingly, to refill staples into the stapler is convenient and easy. In addition, with a limiting effect provided by the rail on the auxiliary lever (34) to the pivot (35), the trigger lever (31) only can be pivoted to a position where the trigger lever (31) is substantially perpendicular to the supporting base (10). Therefore, the gravity center of the stapler can be always held in the area of the supporting base (10), the stapler can be kept stable on a plane even when the trigger assembly (30) is pivoted to a refilling position. - With reference to
Figs. 1 ,5 and8 , when the trigger assembly (30) is pressed, the auxiliary lever (34) is moved downward to make trigger lever (31) being pivoted downward at a center of the main pivot (13). The driving tab (32) is moved downward to press against one of the staples to be released from in the staple magazine (21). With the anvil element (45), the legs of the released staple can be clinched. - Equations as follows are used to prove that the stapler is laborsaving and is convenient to use. The equations include an input force (F1) at the front end of the auxiliary lever (34), an internal force (F2) applied at the pivot (35), an output force (F3) applied at the front end of the trigger lever (31). A ratio of a length of the auxiliary lever (34) and a distance from the pivot (35) to the pivotal stubs (341) is 5. A ratio of the length of the trigger lever (31) and a distance from the pivot (35) to the main pivot (14) is 2.
- Because the output force (F3) is 2.5 times the input force (F1), the stapler is laborsaving.
- With reference to
Figs. 5 to 7 , when the trigger lever (31) is moved downward, the pushing element (36) will move downward with the trigger lever (31) and push against the pushed segment on the sliding base (41). Consequently, the sliding base (41) will be pushed to move toward the rear end of the supporting base (10) to release the blocking effect to the moving base (43). Thus, the moving base (43) with the anvil element (45) will move downward to clinch the legs of a released staple. - Because the pushing element (36) is mounted pivotally on a middle of the trigger lever (31), the leg-flatting device (40) is pushed directly by the pushing element (36). Thus, the structure of the stapler can be simplified and the operation of the stapler can be precisely controlled. Additionally, the trigger assembly (30) is designed to have a labor-saving capability as a lever device, the labor-saving lever system and the transmission system of the stapler in accordance with the present invention has a single fulcrum. The actions of the elements of the trigger assembly (30) in different operating times can be efficiently transferred to the leg-flatting device (40) via the pushing element (36). Accordingly, the operation time of the trigger assembly (30) is short, so the stapler is labor-saving and the structure of the stapler is simplified.
