Definitions
- the invention relates to a stapler.
- Known stapler devices such as for example DE2534178B1 are known, have a lower part, which has on its underside a footprint for placement on a table top and an extending in a longitudinal direction from a front region to a rear region anvil legs with an anvil plate in the front region.
- a staple magazine is mounted on a bearing block limited pivotally mounted on the lower part, which can be lowered so far in the front area until it rests on the anvil plate or lying on the anvil plate records.
- a driver leg is limited pivotally mounted relative to the lower part and the staple magazine, which carries a driver in the front, which acts when lowering the vordemst located in the staple cartridge staple with force and presses through a gap in the bottom of the staple magazine, so that they on the anvil plate lying documents pierces and is deformed by means of the anvil plate.
- Such prior art staplers are manufactured in different designs and have proven excellent for decades. In order to apply a sufficiently high force when stapling, but it is usually necessary to press as far as possible on the driver's leg when pressed down.
- the invention is based on the idea that by the pivotal mounting of the anvil leg in stationary during stapling immovably held lower part of stitching not necessarily as far forward pressure on the driver leg must be exercised, but that the pressure in the middle or even in the rear area on the Driver legs can be exercised. Furthermore, the force the user has to spend stapling is smaller than most conventional staplers.
- the first bearing with which the at least one lever is mounted in the rear region on the lower part, a pin and a longitudinally extending slot in which the pin is guided. It is possible that the pin is firmly connected to the lower part and the slot is arranged in the lever or vice versa, that the pin is firmly connected to the lever and the slot is arranged in the lower part.
- the second bearing with which the at least one lever is mounted between the front region and the rear region on the anvil limb, is designed as a pivot axis.

- the lower part expediently has a trough with a bottom and at least one longitudinally extending, upstanding from the bottom side wall, which is provided, depending on the embodiment, either with the pin or with the slot of the first bearing. It is preferred that the trough has two spaced parallel side walls, in particular when two levers are present.
- the tub may be made of sheet metal, wherein it is then advantageously received in a plastic panel and from the outside for the viewer at least for the most part is not visible. But it is also possible that Execute tub as a plastic part in one piece, for example as an injection molded part. If the pin of the first bearing is arranged on the trough, then it can be integrally molded from plastic or attached to the trough as a separate component, for example made of metal.
- the at least one lever is coupled to the driver's leg in such a way that a force transmission element fixedly connected to the one component rests against the other component on a run-on slope inclined relative to the vertical and relative to the horizontal.
- the force transmission element is a rigidly or rotatably mounted on the driver's leg or on the lever role.
- the at least one lever at its front end on the inclined relative to the vertical and relative to the horizontal bevel on which rests firmly connected to the driver's leg power transmission element.
- the ramp relative to the horizontal has such a varying inclination over its length that the force transmission element upon penetration of a staple in stapled, lying on the anvil plate paper and bending over the free ends of a staple on the anvil plate on a Lot with a lower inclination rests as when lowering the staple cartridge and when removing a staple from a recorded in the staple cartridge staple strand.
- This takes into account the fact that a greater force must be applied to the staple when penetrating the paper and bending over the free ends than when lowering the staple cartridge and when removing the staple.
- the at least one lever forks at its front end into an upper and a lower front part, and in a space between the upper and the lower front part of a fixedly connected to the driver leg power transmission element is arranged, which in turn may be a rigid or rotatable attached to the driver leg role.
- This is forcibly guided between the upper and the lower front part, so that a lowering of the front end of the lever also entails a lowering of the driver's leg, while a lifting of the front end of the lever results in a lifting of the driver's leg.
- the stapler has two spaced apart parallel to each other arranged identical lever, each of which is mounted by means of a first bearing on the lower part and by means of a second bearing on the anvil and is coupled with its front end to the driver's leg.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Heftklammergerät.The invention relates to a stapler.
Bekannte Heftklammergeräte, wie zum Beispiel aus
Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung, ein Heftklammergerät zu entwickeln, das einfacher zu handhaben ist.It is therefore an object of the invention to develop a stapler which is easier to handle.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Heftklammergerät mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der abhängigen Ansprüche.This object is achieved by a stapler with the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments of the invention are the subject of the dependent claims.
Der Erfindung liegt der Gedanke zugrunde, dass durch die schwenkbare Lagerung des Ambossschenkels im beim Heftvorgang ortsfest unbeweglich gehaltenen Unterteil beim Heften nicht zwingend möglichst weit vorne Druck auf den Treiberschenkel ausgeübt werden muss, sondern dass der Druck auch im mittleren oder gar im rückwärtigen Bereich auf den Treiberschenkel ausgeübt werden kann. Desweiteren ist die Kraft, die der Benutzer beim Heften aufwenden muss, kleiner als bei den meisten herkömmlichen Heftgeräten.The invention is based on the idea that by the pivotal mounting of the anvil leg in stationary during stapling immovably held lower part of stitching not necessarily as far forward pressure on the driver leg must be exercised, but that the pressure in the middle or even in the rear area on the Driver legs can be exercised. Furthermore, the force the user has to spend stapling is smaller than most conventional staplers.
Vorteilhaft weist das erste Lager, mit dem der mindestens eine Hebel im rückwärtigen Bereich am Unterteil gelagert ist, einen Zapfen sowie ein sich in der Längsrichtung erstreckendes Langloch auf, in dem der Zapfen geführt ist. Dabei ist es möglich, dass der Zapfen fest mit dem Unterteil verbunden und das Langloch im Hebel angeordnet ist oder umgekehrt, dass der Zapfen fest mit dem Hebel verbunden und das Langloch im Unterteil angeordnet ist. Bei dieser Ausgestaltung des ersten Lagers ist das zweite Lager, mit dem der mindestens eine Hebel zwischen dem vorderen Bereich und dem rückwärtigen Bereich am Ambossschenkel gelagert ist, als Schwenkachse ausgebildet. Das Langloch ist vorteilhaft an seinen beiden Enden geschlossen, so dass der Hebel nur begrenzt beweglich ist, indem die beiden Enden des Langlochs Anschläge für den Zapfen bilden.Advantageously, the first bearing, with which the at least one lever is mounted in the rear region on the lower part, a pin and a longitudinally extending slot in which the pin is guided. It is possible that the pin is firmly connected to the lower part and the slot is arranged in the lever or vice versa, that the pin is firmly connected to the lever and the slot is arranged in the lower part. In this embodiment of the first bearing, the second bearing, with which the at least one lever is mounted between the front region and the rear region on the anvil limb, is designed as a pivot axis. The slot is advantageously closed at its two ends, so that the lever is only limited mobility, by forming the two ends of the slot stops for the pin.
Das Unterteil weist zweckmäßig eine Wanne mit einem Boden und mindestens einer sich in Längsrichtung erstreckenden, vom Boden hochstehenden Seitenwand auf, welche, je nach Ausführungsbeispiel, entweder mit dem Zapfen oder mit dem Langloch des ersten Lagers versehen ist. Es wird bevorzugt, dass die Wanne zwei im Abstand parallel zueinander verlaufende Seitenwände aufweist, insbesondere dann, wenn zwei Hebel vorhanden sind. Die Wanne kann aus Blech gefertigt sein, wobei sie dann vorteilhaft in einer Kunststoffverkleidung aufgenommen und von außen für den Betrachter zumindest größtenteils nicht sichtbar ist. Es ist aber auch möglich, die Wanne als Kunststoffteil einstückig auszuführen, beispielsweise als Spritzgussteil. Ist der Zapfen des ersten Lagers an der Wanne angeordnet, so kann er einstückig aus Kunststoff angeformt sein oder als separates Bauteil, beispielsweise aus Metall, an der Wanne befestigt sein.The lower part expediently has a trough with a bottom and at least one longitudinally extending, upstanding from the bottom side wall, which is provided, depending on the embodiment, either with the pin or with the slot of the first bearing. It is preferred that the trough has two spaced parallel side walls, in particular when two levers are present. The tub may be made of sheet metal, wherein it is then advantageously received in a plastic panel and from the outside for the viewer at least for the most part is not visible. But it is also possible that Execute tub as a plastic part in one piece, for example as an injection molded part. If the pin of the first bearing is arranged on the trough, then it can be integrally molded from plastic or attached to the trough as a separate component, for example made of metal.
Gemäß einem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel ist der mindestens eine Hebel derart mit dem Treiberschenkel gekoppelt, dass ein fest mit dem einen Bauteil verbundenes Kraftübertragungselement an einer gegenüber der Vertikalen und gegenüber der Horizontalen geneigten Auflaufschräge am anderen Bauteil anliegt. Dabei wird bevorzugt, dass das Kraftübertragungselement eine starr oder drehbar am Treiberschenkel bzw. am Hebel befestigte Rolle ist. Zweckmäßig weist der mindestens eine Hebel an seinem vorderen Ende die gegenüber der Vertikalen und gegenüber der Horizontalen geneigte Auflaufschräge auf, an der das fest mit dem Treiberschenkel verbundene Kraftübertragungselement anliegt.According to a first exemplary embodiment, the at least one lever is coupled to the driver's leg in such a way that a force transmission element fixedly connected to the one component rests against the other component on a run-on slope inclined relative to the vertical and relative to the horizontal. It is preferred that the force transmission element is a rigidly or rotatably mounted on the driver's leg or on the lever role. Suitably, the at least one lever at its front end on the inclined relative to the vertical and relative to the horizontal bevel on which rests firmly connected to the driver's leg power transmission element.
Beim ersten Ausführungsbeispiel wird bevorzugt, dass die Auflaufschräge gegenüber der Horizontalen eine derart über ihre Länge variierende Neigung aufweist, dass das Kraftübertragungselement beim Eindringen einer Heftklammer in zu heftendes, auf der Ambossplatte liegendes Papier und beim Umbiegen der freien Enden einer Heftklammer auf der Ambossplatte an einer Partie mit geringerer Neigung anliegt als beim Absenken des Klammermagazins und beim Abtrennen einer Heftklammer von einem im Klammermagazin aufgenommenen Heftklammerstrang. Damit wird der Tatsache Rechnung getragen, dass auf die Heftklammer beim Eindringen in das Papier und beim Umbiegen der freien Enden eine größere Kraft aufgewendet werden muss als beim Absenken des Klammermagazins und beim Abtrennen der Heftklammer.In the first embodiment, it is preferred that the ramp relative to the horizontal has such a varying inclination over its length that the force transmission element upon penetration of a staple in stapled, lying on the anvil plate paper and bending over the free ends of a staple on the anvil plate on a Lot with a lower inclination rests as when lowering the staple cartridge and when removing a staple from a recorded in the staple cartridge staple strand. This takes into account the fact that a greater force must be applied to the staple when penetrating the paper and bending over the free ends than when lowering the staple cartridge and when removing the staple.
Gemäß einem zweiten Ausführungsbeispiel gabelt sich der mindestens eine Hebel an seinem vorderen Ende in eine obere und eine untere Vorderpartie, und in einem Zwischenraum zwischen der oberen und der unteren Vorderpartie ist ein fest mit dem Treiberschenkel verbundenes Kraftübertragungselement angeordnet, das wiederum eine starr oder drehbar am Treiberschenkel befestigte Rolle sein kann. Diese ist zwischen der oberen und der unteren Vorderpartie zwangsgeführt, so dass ein Absenken des vorderen Hebelendes auch ein Absenken des Treiberschenkels nach sich zieht, während ein Anheben des vorderen Hebelendes ein Anheben des Treiberschenkels zur Folge hat.According to a second exemplary embodiment, the at least one lever forks at its front end into an upper and a lower front part, and in a space between the upper and the lower front part of a fixedly connected to the driver leg power transmission element is arranged, which in turn may be a rigid or rotatable attached to the driver leg role. This is forcibly guided between the upper and the lower front part, so that a lowering of the front end of the lever also entails a lowering of the driver's leg, while a lifting of the front end of the lever results in a lifting of the driver's leg.
Zweckmäßig weist das Heftklammergerät zwei im Abstand parallel zueinander angeordnete baugleiche Hebel auf, von denen jeder mittels eines ersten Lagers am Unterteil und mittels eines zweiten Lagers am Ambossschenkel gelagert ist und mit seinem vorderen Ende mit dem Treiberschenkel gekoppelt ist. Die beiden Hebel sind zweckmäßig bezüglich einer Längsmittelebene symmetrisch zueinander angeordnet, so dass auch die Lagerung am Unterteil und am Ambossschenkel sowie die Kopplung mit dem Treiberschenkel symmetrisch auszuführen sind. Durch die Anordnung zweier Hebel wird die Kraft im Heftklammergerät gleichmäßiger verteilt.Suitably, the stapler has two spaced apart parallel to each other arranged identical lever, each of which is mounted by means of a first bearing on the lower part and by means of a second bearing on the anvil and is coupled with its front end to the driver's leg. The two levers are expediently arranged symmetrically with respect to one another with respect to a longitudinal center plane, so that the mounting on the lower part and on the anvil leg as well as the coupling with the driver leg are symmetrical. By arranging two levers, the force in the stapler is distributed more evenly.
Zweckmäßig weist der Treiberschenkel eine das Klammermagazin überdeckende Abdeckung auf, die an ihrer Oberseite eine Angriffsfläche für einen Benutzer aufweist. Die Abdeckkappe kann beispielsweise aus Kunststoff gefertigt sein und abgerundete Kanten aufweisen, so dass der Benutzer nicht an gegebenenfalls kantigen Metallteilen des Treiberschenkels angreifen muss, wodurch sich der Komfort bei der Benutzung erhöht.The driver leg expediently has a cover covering the staple magazine, which has an engagement surface for a user on its upper side. The cap may for example be made of plastic and have rounded edges, so that the user does not have to attack on possibly edged metal parts of the driver's leg, which increases the comfort of use.
Wird das Klammermagazin durch Abheben des Treiberschenkels geöffnet, um neue Heftklammern einlegen zu können, so wird der mindestens eine Hebel mit dem Treiberschenkel entkoppelt. Um zu verhindern, dass das vordere Ende des mindestens einen Hebels nach unten wegklappt, ist vorzugsweise mindestens ein Koppelelement vorhanden, das einer Abwärtsbewegung des vorderen Endes des mindestens einen Hebels eine Gegenkraft entgegensetzt. Die Koppelelemente können am Magazin nach oben vorstehende Blechfortsätze sein, die in entsprechend ausgestaltete Löcher an einer abgekanteten Querflanke des jeweiligen Hebels eingreifen. Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist aber jeder Hebel mittels einer zwischen seinem dem rückwärtigen Bereich zugewandten hinteren Ende und dem zweiten Lager befestigten und sich in Richtung zum vorderen Bereich erstreckenden Zugfeder mit dem Unterteil verbunden, so dass die Zugfeder die Gegenkraft aufbringt.If the staple cartridge is opened by lifting the driver's leg in order to insert new staples, the at least one lever is decoupled with the driver's leg. In order to prevent the front end of the at least one lever from folding downwards, preferably at least one coupling element is present, which is a downward movement of the front end of at least one lever opposes a counter force. The coupling elements may be on the magazine upwardly projecting sheet metal extensions, which engage in correspondingly shaped holes on a folded transverse flank of the respective lever. According to a preferred embodiment, however, each lever is connected by means of a rear end facing the rear region and the second bearing and extending in the direction of the front region tension spring connected to the lower part, so that the tension spring applies the counterforce.

Das in der Zeichnung dargestellte Heftklammergerät 10 weist eine langgestreckte Form auf und erstreckt sich in einer Längsrichtung von einem vorderen Bereich 12 zu einem rückwärtigen Bereich 14. Es weist ein an seiner Unterseite 16 eine Aufstellfläche 18 aufweisendes Unterteil 20 auf, das wiederum eine Wanne 22 aus Blech mit einem Boden 24 und sich im Abstand parallel zueinander in der Längsrichtung erstreckende, vom Boden 24 hochstehende Seitenwände 26 aufweist und in einer die Aufstellfläche 18 aufweisenden Kunststoffverkleidung 28 aufgenommen ist.The
Im Unterteil 20 ist ein im vorderen Bereich 12 eine Ambossplatte 30 tragender Ambossschenkel 32 um eine erste Schwenkachse 34 begrenzt verschwenkbar gelagert. Die erste Schwenkachse 34 befindet sich dabei weiter vom rückwärtigen Bereich 14 entfernt als die Ambossplatte 30. An einem Lagerbock 36 im rückwärtigen Bereich 14 ist ein Klammermagazin 38 um eine zweite Schwenkachse 40 begrenzt verschwenkbar am Ambossschenkel 32 gelagert. Das Klammermagazin 38 weist an seinem Vorderende 42 einen unterseitigen Spalt 44 auf, der über der Ambossplatte 30 angeordnet ist und durch den die zuvorderst im Klammermagazin 38 aufgenommene Heftklammer beim Heftvorgang durchgeführt wird. Ebenfalls um die zweite Schwenkachse 40 begrenzt verschwenkbar ist ein im vorderen Bereich 12 einen Treiber 46 tragender Treiberschenkel 48 gelagert, der von einer Abdeckkappe 50 aus Kunststoff überdeckt wird, welche an einer Oberseite eine Angriffsfläche 52 für den Benutzer des Heftklammergeräts 10 aufweist. In einiger Entfernung zum Lagerbock 36 ist das Klammermagazin 38 auf dem Ambossschenkel 32 mittels einer ersten Druckfeder 54 abgestützt, die das Klammermagazin 38 im kraftfreien Zustand im Abstand zur Ambossplatte 30 hält. In etwas größerer Entfernung zum Lagerbock 36 ist der Treiberschenkel 48 über eine in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellte zweite Druckfeder auf dem Klammermagazin 38 abgestützt, die die Unterkante des Treibers 46 im kraftfreien Zustand im Abstand über der zuvorderst im Klammermagazin 38 aufgenommenen Heftklammer hält. Die erste Druckfeder 54 und die zweite Druckfeder sind dabei so aufeinander abgestimmt, dass ein Absenken des Treibers 46 auf die vorderste Heftklammer erst dann erfolgt, wenn das Klammermagazin 38 im Bereich des Spaltes 44 bereits auf der Ambossplatte 30 bzw. auf auf der Ambossplatte 30 liegendem Schriftgut aufliegt.In the
An jeder der Seitenwände 26 ist ein Hebel 56 begrenzt verschwenkbar angeordnet, der mit der jeweiligen Seitenwand 26 an deren der jeweils anderen Seitenwand 26 zugewandten Innenfläche anliegend im rückwärtigen Bereich 14 mittels eines ersten Lagers 58 an der jeweiligen Seitenwand 26 sowie etwa in der Mitte zwischen dem vorderen Bereich 12 und dem rückwärtigen Bereich 14 mittels eines zweiten Lagers 60 am Ambossschenkel 32 gelagert ist. In
An seinem vorderen Ende 68 gabelt sich jeder der Hebel 56 in eine obere Vorderpartie 70 und eine untere Vorderpartie 72, zwischen denen ein Zwischenraum 74 frei ist. In dem Zwischenraum 74 jedes der Hebel 56 greift ein fest mit dem Treiberschenkel 48 verbundenes Kraftübertragungselement in Gestalt einer drehbar am Treiberschenkel 48 befestigten Kunststoffrolle 76 ein. Die Rolle 76 dient der Kraftübertragung vom Hebel 56 auf den Treiberschenkel 48 und kann zu diesem Zweck auch aus einem anderen Material bestehen sowie nicht drehbar am Treiberschenkel 48 fixiert sein, so dass sie als Zapfen bezeichnet werden kann. Die beiden Hebel 56 sind bezüglich einer Längsmittelebene 78, durch die der Schnitt gemäß
Nahe dem Langloch 64 ist an jedem Hebel 56 eine sich in Richtung zum vorderen Bereich 12 erstreckende Zugfeder 80 befestigt, die mit ihrem anderen Ende am Unterteil 20 befestigt ist. Ein Verschwenken des Hebels 56 um die dritte Schwenkachse 66, bei der sein vorderes Ende 68 abgesenkt wird, erfolgt damit gegen die Rückstellkraft der Zugfeder 80.
