Definitions

  • the invention relates to a stapler according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such a stapler is from EP 1 480 788 B1 known. Its configuration with an anvil leg that can be moved against a restoring force towards a lower part of the device and with two-armed bending levers pivotably mounted on the anvil leg, which bend the staple legs passed through the sheet material when the anvil leg is pressed down and cut off excess end parts of the staple legs by pressing against the cutting edges of the cutting block, makes it possible to always use the same staples for sheet material with very different overall thicknesses. If only a few sheets of paper are stapled together, for whose total thickness the staple legs would actually be too long, the excess end sections are simply cut off.
  • the bending levers are offset from one another in a direction that extends perpendicularly to the staple crowns of the staples held in the staple magazine.
  • the pivot axes of the bending levers are not arranged in the direction perpendicular to the staple crowns, but are twisted out of this direction. The result of this is 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 cutting off the excess end parts, this results in a cutting edge that does not run perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the clip legs. This can lead to increased Wear of the cutting edges or even jamming of the staple legs on the cutting edges.
  • the invention is based on the idea of designing the second lever arms of the bending levers in such a way that they are also moved past one another during the bending process if they are arranged opposite one another with pivot axes running essentially perpendicularly to the staple crowns of the staples held 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 clip crowns.
  • each of the pivot axes runs exactly perpendicular to the staple crowns of the staples held 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 are at the same distance from the free end of the lower part of the device.
  • the thickness of the end sections 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 passed 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 staple webs of the staples accommodated in the staple magazine. This makes it easier to shape the clip 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 be moved past the cutting edges. They can then also be moved further after the excess end parts of the staple legs have been cut off, 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 the free ends of the clip legs to pass through after the sheet material has been pierced through.
  • the bending surfaces are advantageously each moved from a rest position, in which they are arranged at a positive acute angle to a bearing surface on the upper side of the bearing plate, to a Bracket position pivotable, in which they are arranged parallel or at a negative acute angle to the support surface.
  • the stapling device 10 shown in the drawing is used for stapling sheet material using staples 12 which, as shown in FIG Figure 3a , 3b as can be seen, each have two clip legs 14 and a clip leg 14 connecting the clip legs 14 to one another and running transversely thereto.
  • the staples 12 thus have the shape of a U which is open at the bottom, with the staple legs 14 piercing the sheet material with their free ends during the stapling 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 arm 26 which is mounted on the lower part 18 so that it can move against a restoring force, for example a spring, towards the latter.
  • the anvil leg 26 is pivotably mounted on the lower part 18 in the region of a bearing block 28 arranged near the rear end 22 .
  • the stapling device 10 also has a stapling unit 30, which has a staple magazine 32 in which the staples 12 are arranged in a row lying next to one another.
  • the clamping unit 30 also has a hand lever 34 which projects obliquely upwards from the bearing block 28 and extends in the direction of the rear end 22 .
  • a driver 36 is arranged on the hand lever 34, and the hand lever 34 is mounted on the bearing block 28 in relation to the lower part 18 and the staple magazine 32 such that it can be pivoted downwards against a restoring force.
  • the staple magazine 32 is pivotably mounted on the bearing block 28 relative to the lower part 18 .
  • the anvil leg 26 has a bearing plate 38 to place the sheet material, with the hand lever 34 being pressed down during the stapling process, with the staple magazine 32 pressing down on the sheet material and with the driver 36 finally using an increased force to press the foremost staple 12 with the free ends of its staple legs 14 pushes ahead through the leaf material.
  • the stapler 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 excess end portions of the staple legs 14 are cut off during the stapling process.
  • the anvil arm 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 onto the underside installation surface 44 of the lower part 18, with which the stapler 10 can be placed flat on a base, such as a Desk that can be set up runs in the longitudinal direction 20.
  • the cutting edges 42 therefore always run perpendicularly to the staple webs 16 of the staples 12 accommodated in the staple magazine 32 within the scope of the usual manufacturing accuracy, since the row of staples 12 also extends in the longitudinal direction 20 in their projection onto the mounting surface 44 .
  • the assembly 46 shown, to which the cutting block 40 belongs, and which is firmly connected to the anvil arm 26, also has two identical bending levers 50 arranged between two side plates 48. Each of the bending levers 50 is mounted on the anvil leg 26 between the side plates 48 so that it can pivot about a pivot axis 52 .
  • first lever arm 54 which has a bending surface 56 on the upper side, and a longer second lever arm 58 which rests on the lower part 18 .
  • the projection of the pivot axes 52 into the mounting surface 44 runs in the longitudinal direction 20.
  • the pivot axes 52 thus run within the manufacturing tolerances perpendicular to the staple webs 16 of the staples 12 accommodated in the staple magazine 32.
  • the second lever arms 58 are pressed onto the bottom of the lower part 18 so that the bending levers 50 pivot about the pivot axes 52 as a result of the depression.
  • the bending levers 50 are also in a rest position in which the bending surfaces 56 are arranged at a positive acute angle to a bearing surface 60 on the upper side of the bearing plate 38. This angle decreases during the stapling process, i.e. when the bending lever 50 is pivoted.
  • the free ends of the staple legs 14 each come to rest on one of the bending surfaces 56, and the end sections of the staple legs 14 that have been pierced through the sheet material are bent by pivoting the Bending lever 50 bent towards each other. Any excess end portions of the staple legs 14, which are very long in the present exemplary embodiment, are pressed against the cutting edges 42 by the bending levers 50 during bending and are cut off.
  • the clip legs 14 are passed through openings 62 in the support plate 38 with their free ends after piercing through the sheet material.
  • 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 out of the rest position into an end position in which their bending surfaces 56 are arranged parallel or at a negative acute angle to the bearing 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 have the same extent in the axial direction of the pivot axes 52 .
  • the second lever arms 58 have end sections 66 beginning at their free ends 64 and extending a little 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 extent 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 in Figure 3a , 3b shown, can be moved past each other during the stapling process without colliding with each other.
  • 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 staple web 16 connecting the staple legs 14 to one another and running transversely thereto, with a support plate 38 for placing the sheet material
  • a driver 36 for pressing individual staples 12 with the free ends of their staple legs 14 first through the staple unit 30 comprising the sheet material, with a lower part 18 on which the anvil leg 26 is mounted so that it can move towards it against a restoring force, and with two, each about a pivot axis 52, two-armed bending levers 50 pivotably mounted on the anvil leg 26, each of which has a first lever arm 54 having
  • the pivot axes 52 run essentially perpendicularly to the staple webs 16 of the staples 12 accommodated in the staple magazine 32 and that the second lever arms 58 begin at their free ends 64 Having end sections 66 which are arranged offset from one another in the axial direction of the pivot axes 52 in such a way that they move past one another when the anvil arm 26 approaches the lower part 18 .
