Therefore, the needle pressing member 45 does not jump forward from the magazine housing portion 6a. Then, when the magazine 41 protruding forward is accommodated in the housing 6 and the locking opening 41b of the magazine 41 comes above the magazine locking portion 31a of the magazine locking member 31, the magazine locking member 31 is moved to the third position. The magazine engaging portion 31a is engaged with the rear end edge of the engaging opening 41b by being biased by the return spring 35 and rotating upward.

  Next, the operation mechanism of the stapler 1 of this embodiment will be described. If a force to rotate the base 2 and the handle 3 in the direction of the housing 6 is applied, the second return spring 65 is positioned closer to the rotation shaft (behind the stapler 1) than the first return spring 55. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, the second return spring 65 contracts before the first return spring 55, and the base 2 is formed between the protrusion 6d of the housing 6 and the base 2 shown in FIGS. The support part piece 21 is pivoted around a pivoting part, and the needle bent part 23 of the base 2 comes into contact with the vicinity of the front end of the magazine 41.

  When a force to further rotate the base 2 and the handle 3 in the direction of the housing 6 is applied, since the base 2 and the magazine 41 are in contact near the front end, further rotation of the base 2 is restricted, The handle 3 is rotated toward the housing 6 side. When the handle 3 rotates to the housing 6 side, as shown in FIG. 9, the link member 7 is pushed by the handle 3 and moves to the housing 6 side, and the operation member 5 is rotated downward.

  Then, the operating member 5 rotates within the housing 6 while contracting the first return spring 55 around the second shaft 57, and the front end portion of the operating member 5 approaches the intermediate plate 6e. As a result, the lower end of the pressing blade 51 mounted in the vicinity of the front end of the operation member 5 comes into contact with one binding needle located at the front end in the magazine 41, and this one binding needle passes through the launch hole 41 a of the magazine 41. It strikes toward the needle bent portion 23 of the base 2 and comes into contact with the needle bent portion 23, and the leg portion of the staple is bent.

  After the spelling, when the base 2 and the handle 3 are opened, the operation member 5 is rotated upward by the elastic force of the first return spring 55, and the base member is rotated by the elastic force of the second return spring 65. Since the base 2 rotates downward with respect to the housing 6, the state shown in FIG. 5 is restored.

  In other words, the stapler 1 of the present embodiment is loaded with a load to rotate the handle 3 with the portion of the first shaft 33 on which the handle 3 and the support piece 21 of the base 2 are pivotally attached as a fulcrum. That is, a paper sheet or the like is bound with a weak force by the lever principle with the portion near the front end of the handle 3 as a force point and the portion of the third shaft 75 on which the handle 3 and the link member 7 are pivotally attached. be able to.

  According to the stapler 1 of the present embodiment, the housing 6 that accommodates the magazine 41 and the like is used as a member of a link mechanism that is interlocked when performing spelling, thereby reducing the number of parts compared to the conventional art. Stapler 1 can be manufactured. Further, since the number of parts is small, the stapler 1 having a simple configuration can be provided. That is, in the conventional stapler, the cover is only a member for covering the members constituting the link mechanism, but in the stapler 1 of the present embodiment, the number of parts can be reduced by using the housing 6 as the link mechanism. it can.

  In addition, in many conventional staplers, a magazine, an operation member, and a handle are pivotally attached to a base, but in the stapler 1 of this embodiment, the handle 3 and the housing 6 are the base. As a result, the stapler 1 having a completely different shape from the conventional stapler can be provided.

  Furthermore, by using the magazine 41 as a front loading type, it is possible to provide a stapler 1 having a simple configuration, and the magazine locking member 31 that locks the magazine 41 is used as a member that covers the back of the magazine 41. By arranging it, it was possible to realize a front loading type operation mechanism without increasing the number of parts.

  Further, in the conventional stapler, the operation member is often a U-shaped member having an opening at the bottom, and there is a problem that the manufacturing cost increases due to the complicated shape and the manufacturing takes time. However, in the stapler 1 of the present embodiment, since the operation member 5 is a flat plate member, the manufacturing becomes easy, and the effects of reducing the manufacturing cost and the manufacturing time can be obtained.
