Definitions
- the invention relates to a stapler according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a stapler is known from EP 1 480788 B1. Its design with an anvil limb that can be moved against a restoring force on a lower part of the device and with two-armed bending levers pivotably mounted on the anvil limb, which when the anvil limb is pressed down bend the staple limbs through the sheet material and excess end portions of the staple limb by pressing against the cutting edges of the cutting block cut, makes it possible to always use the same staples for sheet material with very different total thicknesses. If only a few sheets of paper are stapled together, for the total thickness of which the staple legs would actually be too long, their excess end portions are simply cut off.
- the Bie levers are arranged against each other in a direction that extends perpendicular to the staple crowns of the staples received in the staple magazine.
- the pivot axes of the bending levers are also not arranged in the perpendicular to the clamp crowns direction, but rotated out of this direction. This leads to the fact that the staple legs are not bent exactly towards the staple crown when they are bent, but rather a little way next to it. When the excess end portions are cut off, this results in a cut edge that is not perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the clamp legs. This can lead to system wear of the cutting edges or even lead to a jamming of the Klam merschenkel on the cutting edges.
- the invention is based on the idea of designing the second lever arms of the bending lever in such a way that they are also moved past each other during the bending process when they are arranged opposite each other with pivot axes running essentially perpendicular to the staple crowns of the staples received in the staple magazine.
- the pivot axes each run at an angle of 90 ° ⁇ 2 ° and preferably at an angle of 90 ° ⁇ 1 ° to the staple crowns.
- each of the pivot axes runs exactly perpendicular to the staple crowns of the staples received in the staple magazine within the scope of the usual manufacturing accuracy.
- the bending levers can then be arranged opposite one another at the same point in the sense that they have the same distance from the free end of the lower part of the device.
- the thickness of the end sections measured in the axial direction of the pivot axis is preferably less than the maximum thickness of the first lever arms. It is further preferred that both bending surfaces have the same extent in the axial direction of the pivot axes. While the bending surfaces should be as large as possible in order to reliably grasp the staple legs passing through the sheet material, it is advantageous if the end sections are made thinner so that they can easily be guided past one another during the bending process.
- the first lever arms are expediently arranged mirror-symmetrically to one another with respect to a plane of symmetry running in the middle between the pivot axes perpendicular to the clip webs of the staples in the staple magazine. This makes it easier to reshape the clamp legs as symmetrically as possible. It is further preferred that the thickness of the end sections is at most half as large as the maximum thickness of the first lever arms in order to be able to reliably move the end sections past one another.
- the pivot axes are advantageously arranged at such a distance from one another that the first lever arms can move past the cutting edges.They can then also be moved further after the excess end portions of the staple legs have been separated until the staple legs are pressed against the back of the stapled sheet material.
- the support plate expediently has openings on both sides of the cutting block for passing through the free ends of the clamp legs after the sheet material has been pierced.
- the bending surfaces are advantageously each from a rest position in which they are arranged at a positive acute angle to a support surface on the upper side of the support plate, pivotable into a clamp position in which they are arranged parallel or at a negative acute angle to the support surface.
- FIG. 1 shows a stapling device in a perspective illustration
- FIG. 2 shows an assembly with a cutting block and two bending levers installed in the stapler according to FIG. 1
- FIG. Fig. 3a, 3b the assembly of FIG. 2 in side view, with one of the Be tenplatten was removed, with the bending levers in two different union positions and
- FIG. 4a, 4b show a bending lever in a side view and in a perspective view.
- the staple device 10 shown in the drawing is used to stitch together sheet material by means of staples 12, which, as can be seen from Fig. 3a, 3b, each have two staple legs 14 and one the staple legs 14 interconnecting, transverse to these staple web 16.
- the staple clamps 12 thus have the shape of a downwardly open U, the staple legs 14 pushing through the sheet material with their free ends during the stitching process and being bent over on the underside of the sheet material.
- the stapler has a lower part 18 which extends in a longitudinal direction 20 from a rear end 22 to a front end 24 and carries an anvil leg 26 which is movably mounted on the lower part 18 against a restoring force, for example a spring is.
- the anvil leg 26 is pivotable on the lower part 18 in the region of a bearing block 28 arranged near the lower end 22.
- the stapler 10 also has a staple unit 30 which has a staple magazine 32 in which the staples 12 are arranged in a row one next to the other. In this row, the clip webs are aligned parallel to one another, each clip web 16, apart from the foremost and the rearmost, being arranged between two adjacent clip webs 16 and resting against them.
- the clamp unit 30 also has a flange lever 34 which protrudes obliquely upward from the bearing block 28 and extends in the direction of the rear end 22.
- a driver 36 is arranged on the flange lever 34, and the flange lever 34 is mounted on the bearing block 28 relative to the lower part 18 and the staple magazine 32 so that it can pivot downwards against a restoring force.
- the staple magazine 32 is mounted on the bearing block 28 so as to be pivotable with respect to the lower part 18.
- the anvil leg 26 has a support Plate 38 for placing the sheet material on, the hand lever 34 being pressed down during the stapling process, while the staple magazine 32 presses down on the sheet material and finally using an increased force of the driver 36 the foremost staple 12 with the free ends of its staple - Donate! 14 pushes forward through the sheet material.
- the stapling device 10 is characterized in that only staples 12 of a single size are required for sheet material of different thicknesses, in the present case for sheet material consisting of 2 to 170 sheets of paper, since over schüssige end portions of the staple legs 14 are cut off during the stapling process.
- the anvil leg carries a cutting block 40 with two cutting edges 42 arranged on opposite sides of the cutting block 40, with a projection of the cutting edges 42 on the lower side support surface 44 of the lower part 18, with which the stapler 10 is flat on a base, such as, for example a desk that can be set up, extends in the longitudinal direction 20.
- An assembly 46 shown in FIGS. 2, 3a, 3b, to which the cutting block 40 belongs, and which is firmly connected to the anvil leg 26, also has two identical bending levers 50 arranged between two side plates 48.
- Each of the bending levers 50 is pivotable about a pivot axis 52 on the anvil leg 26 between the side plates 48 Gela Gert.
- the projection of the pivot axes 52 into the installation surface 44 runs in the longitudinal direction 20.
- the pivot axes 52 thus run within the manufacturing tolerances perpendicular to the clip webs 16 of the staples 12 received in the clip magazine 32.
- the second lever arms 58 are pressed onto the bottom of the lower part 18 so that the pressing down causes the bending lever 50 to pivot about the pivot axes 52.
- the bending levers 50 are just if in a rest position in which the bending surfaces 56 are net angeord at a positive acute angle to a bearing surface 60 on the top of the platen 38.
- the pivot axes 52 are arranged at such a distance from one another and the first lever arms 54 are dimensioned such that the latter can be moved past the cutting edges 42 when the bending levers 50 are pivoted.
- the bending levers 50 can then be pivoted from the rest position to an end position in which their bending surfaces 56 are arranged parallel to or at a negative acute angle to the support surface.
- the first lever arms 54 are arranged mirror-symmetrically to one another with respect to a plane of symmetry running in the middle between the pivot axes 52 in the longitudinal direction 20.
- the bending surfaces 56 also have the same extension.
- the second lever arms 58 have end sections 66 beginning at their free ends 64 and extending somewhat in the direction of the respective pivot axis 52, the thickness of which, measured in the axial direction of the pivot axes 52, is smaller is the maximum thickness of the first lever arms, which is defined by the extension of the bending surface 56 in the axial direction of the pivot axes 52.
- the thickness of the end sections 66 is less than half the maximum thickness of the first lever arms 54, so that the end sections 66, as shown in FIGS. 3a, 3b, can be moved past one another during the stapling process without colliding with one another.
- the invention relates to a stapling device 10 for stapling sheet material together by means of staples 12, each of which has two staple legs 14 and a clip web 16 that connects the staple legs 14 and extends transversely to these, with a support plate 38 for placing the Sheet material having Am boss leg 26, which carries a cutting block 40 with two cutting edges 42 for cutting from excess end portions of the staple legs 14, with egg ner pivotably mounted with respect to the anvil leg 26, a staple staple 12 in a row with abutting, aligned parallel to each other Staple bars 16 receiving staple magazine 32 and a driver 36 for pushing through individual staples 12 with the free ends of their staple legs 14 ahead through the sheet material having staple unit 30, with a lower part 18 on which the anvil leg 26 against a restoring force on this z u is movably mounted, and with two two-armed bending levers 50 mounted pivotably about a pivot axis 52 on the anvil leg 26, each of which has a first lever arm 54, which has
- pivot axes 52 run essentially perpendicular to the clip webs 16 of the staples 12 received in the staple magazine 32 and that the second lever arms 58 begin at their free ends 64. Ending end sections 66 which are arranged offset from one another in the axial direction of the pivot axes 52 such that they move past one another when the anvil leg 26 approaches the lower part 18.
