  • a power tool for driving a staple into a workpiece can be both quicker and easier. This can be especially true with regards to barbed staples, which can offer more resistance against insertion into a workpiece.
  • a power tool may provide greater precision and control over the placement and depth of a staple in a workpiece. For example, a power tool may provide the precision required when driving a staple across a fence wire in order to avoid damage to the fence wire.
  • use of a power tool instead of a manual method reduces the manual labour required by a user, which may in turn reduce repetitive strain injuries and operator fatigue.
  • the tool may include arrangements to maintain the staple alignment. These may include modification of the engagement portion of the driver blade to laterally support the staple, including a guide arrangement for maintain alignment of the driver blade and maintaining close support of the staple in the proximal portion of the nosepiece, and using guiding elements on the legs of the staples to assist in maintaining this close support.
  • Figs. 1a and 1b show an embodiment of a tool 10 for driving a barbed staple into a workpiece.
  • the tool 10 comprises a housing 12 containing a power delivery source (not shown).
  • the tool is pneumatic (i.e. powered pneumatically).
  • the tool may be, for example, gas powered.
  • a person of ordinary skill in the art would understand that other means for powering a tool would also be suitable.
  • the tool 10 further comprises a nosepiece assembly 14 extending from a lower end of the housing 12.
  • a staple supply assembly in the form of a magazine 16, extends laterally from the nosepiece assembly 14.
  • Fig. 1a shows the magazine 16 holding staples 18, whilst in Fig. 1b , the magazine 16 is empty.
  • the magazine 16 supplies collated staples 18 to a loading chamber of the nosepiece assembly 14.
  • the staples 18 are collated by way of collation tape 20.
  • the staples 18 may be collated by way of adhesive, or alternatively may not be collated (i.e. they may be provided individually).
  • a hand grip 22 extends from the housing 12 and is configured such that a user may comfortably handle the tool 10. Adjacent the hand grip 22 is a trigger 24, which when pressed, activates the power delivery source such that a staple (loaded in the nosepiece assembly 14) may be driven into a workpiece by the tool 10. As a safety measure a lower workpiece contact 48 disposed at a distal end of the nosepiece assembly 14 may need to be retracted to allow activation of the power delivery source.
  • the nosepiece assembly 14 comprises a nosepiece 26 having a passage 28 along which a driver blade 30 is arranged to travel.
  • a staple 18 is located partway down the passage 28 in the nosepiece 26 and is in contact with the driver blade 30 which is designed to push the staple through the nosepiece passage 28.
  • the tool further comprises a power delivery source (not shown) that is arranged to drive the driver blade 30 down the passage 28 (i.e. towards the distal end of the nosepiece 26 that is located at the workpiece).
  • the driver blade 30 (which is described in more detail below with reference to Fig. 3A and 3B ) comprises an engagement portion 32 that engages the crown 34 of a staple 18 that has been loaded into the passage 28, to drive the staple 18 down the passage 28. In this way, the staple 18 may be driven into and secured in a workpiece.
  • the staple 18 comprises barbs 40 extending outwardly from the staple legs 42, thereby increasing the overall width of the staple 18.
  • the barbs 40 of the staple 18 as shown comprise a truncated point such that the tips of the barbs 40 are flat (i.e. square) so that they are less likely to come in contact, or sustain damage from contact, with the nosepiece when the staple 18 is driven in the passage 28.
  • the staple 18 comprises a hot dip galvanization coating, which may provide the staple 18 with rust resistance.
  • a hot dip galvanization coating may provide the staple 18 with rust resistance.
  • other, or additional, coating or treatment may be applied to the staple such as e.g. electro-galvanization, heat treatment, phosphate etc.
  • the staple 18 further comprises tape 44 attached to each of its legs 42.
  • the thickness of the tape 44 may be such that it assists in positioning and/or guiding the staple in the nosepiece as will be explained in more detail below.
  • the tape 44 may, for example, be a portion of collation tape that remains on the staple when it is broken away from a collated staple arrangement. Such a collated arrangement is shown in Fig. 4 . In this way, the tape would be 'dual purpose', in that it would first provide for collating the assembly of staples, and secondly provide stability of a staple 18 in the passage 28 when driven by forming a wadding barrier.
  • the tape may alternatively be applied individually to the staple (i.e. such that it is not a portion of collation tape applied to an assembly of collated staples).
  • the tape 44 may be formed of paper, however a person of ordinary skill in the art would understand that the tape may be formed of other suitable materials such as plastic.
  • the collation tape may protect the staple leg and wire coating and barb from damage.
  • the collated staple arrangement is loaded in the magazine 16 and supplies staples 18 to the loading chamber of the nosepiece 26 via an access aperture in the nosepiece 26.
  • the aperture comprises means to provide access for the barbs 40 of the staple 18.
  • the means is in the form of lateral passages 46, which provide clearance for the barbs 40 on the staples 18 when loaded from the magazine 16.
  • clearance spaces in the form of channels 38 are provided along the walls defining the passage 28. These channels extend from the lateral passages 46 to the distal end of the nosepiece 26.
  • the workpiece contact element 48 in the form of a foot, is located at the lower end of the nosepiece 26.
  • the foot 48 is configured to retract, in use, as it contacts the workpiece. That is, the foot 48 will retract back up the nosepiece 26 when a user pushes the end of the tool 10 against a workpiece in order to allow the power delivery source of the tool 10 to be activated for driving of a staple into 18 the workpiece (under operation of the tool trigger).
  • a slot 50 is located in the base of the foot 48 and aligned such that it is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the crown 34 of the staple 18, and such that it is located between the legs 42 of the staple in use.
  • a user can align, for example, a fence wire in the slot 50 in order to ensure that the legs of a staple 18 will be driven into the workpiece either side of the wire.
  • This helps to prevent a user from accidentally aligning the tool 10 such that a leg 42 of the staple 18 is driven into the wire, which could cause damage to the wire or any surface treatment applied to the wire.
  • the slot 50 may help to ensure that the durability of the wire being attached to a workpiece is not compromised (e.g. due to rust).
  • the tool 10 includes various means to support and/or maintain alignment of the staple in the nosepiece.
  • the outer surface of the tape is in contact, or close to being in contact, with the surface of the passage 54 disposed proximal of the lateral passages 46.
  • Such an arrangement may provide a closer fit of the upper portion of the staple 18 in the passage 28. This may help to correctly position the staple in the nosepiece to receive the driver blade and to stabilise the motion (i.e. by limiting motion of the staple to the longitudinal axis of the passage 28) of the staple 18 when it is initially driven by the driver blade 30 down the passage 28.
  • the drive blade 36 may be modified to provide lateral support for the staple.
  • FIGS 3A and 3B provide front and side views respectively of the driver assembly of the embodiment of the tool 10.
  • the driver assembly comprises a driver blade 30 having an engagement portion 32 and ridge 36.
  • the engagement portion 32 is crescent shaped, such that it conforms to the form of the crown 34 of the staple 18. Such a configuration may allow the engagement portion 32 to guide the staple 18 in the passage 28 and prevent movement of the staple 18 away from the longitudinal axis of the passage 28 (e.g. rotation or lateral movement of the staple 18 in the passage 28). In other words, receipt of the crown 34 of the staple 18 in the concave engagement portion 32 helps to self-centre the staple 18 whilst it is being driven.
  • the power delivery source can be configured such that the driver blade 30 is accelerated as it engages the staple 18 and drives the staple 18 into the workpiece. In this respect, the staple will be held in the crescent (i.e. in continuous contact) throughout the driving action of the driver blade 30 (i.e. from engagement with the driver blade to the staple being embedded in a workpiece). 1
  • the crescent shaped engagement portion 32 may also reduce or eliminate damage to any coating that may be applied to the staple 18. This may especially be the case when compared to manual methods of driving a staple 18 into a workpiece (e.g. hand hammer driven).
  • the driver blade 30 also comprises a ridge 36.
  • This ridge 36 is arranged to align and engage with a corresponding slot (not shown) located on the nosepiece 26. This engagement aligns the driver blade 30 in the passage 28, such that when it is driven, it is substantially restricted to motion along the longitudinal axis of the passage. In the absence of complete side support (i.e. due to the passage 28 comprising channels 38) the ridge 36 may provide partial or full stability to the driver blade 30 during driving action.
  • each staple comprises a crown 34, two legs 42 and a barb 40 on each leg 42.
  • the staples 18 are collated and connected by paper collation tape 44 applied to the legs 42 of the staples 18.
  • Each staple 18 comprises diverging points 52, which have opposing angled faces such that when a staple 18 is driven into a workpiece, the legs 42 are caused to diverge.
  • the collation tape 44 not only secures the collated staples together but can assist in maintaining alignment of the staple 18 in the nosepiece 26 by providing a closer fit of the upper portion of the staple 18 in the passage 28.
  • the dimensions of the staples 18 and their alignment in the collated assembly need to be within relative tight tolerances which may be in the order of ⁇ 5mm.
  • the adhesion of the collation tape and its properties influence the operation of the tool.
  • the staples are manufactured and collated to meet the desired criteria using a process whereby the staples are made using a pressing operation including a 3 stage bending process. During this pressing operation the barbs are formed on the staple legs.
  • the staples then pass onto a staple collation rail where the stables are heated to approximately 300° C.
  • the collation tape (which in one form may be a paper based tape supplied under the trade name PASLODE PRO-STRIP EQ98) is applied to the heated staples where a bond is formed between the collation tape and the metal surface of the staples.
  • a powered staple tool 10 uses barbed staples 18 which may be in supplied in a collated assembly. This allows for rapid and effective fixing of the staples and is ideal for applications such as fencing.
  • barbed staples 18 which may be in supplied in a collated assembly. This allows for rapid and effective fixing of the staples and is ideal for applications such as fencing.
  • adequate clearances are provided in the nosepiece of the tool for both loading and passage of the staple through the nosepiece. As these clearances increase the likelihood of the staple twisting or moving laterally in the nosepiece (which may result in jamming of the staple in the nosepiece), support arrangements are provided to maintain correct positioning of the staple in the nosepiece.
