Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a stapler.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the case of a stapler, a staple in a staple storage box is cut off by pressing a cover body with a cutting tool, and the staple penetrates a sheet of paper and cuts both ends of the staple toward a staple bed on a base. When pressed and bent, the shape of the needle bending groove of the needle bending table becomes an arc shape on both left and right sides with the middle mountain height part,
Moreover, since the base is in the fixed state, both ends of the binding needle are bent in the arc shape as they are along the needle bending groove to be bound.

[0003] Therefore, the paper portion by the staple is
Since the document swells to about twice the thickness of the staple, when a large number of documents are created and superimposed, only that portion is particularly high.

Therefore, in order to solve this, at present,
(1) Jitsuhei 1-18296, (2) Jitsuhei 1-1829
No. 7, (3) Actual Kaihei 3-87584, (4) Actual Kaihei 4-2
Although devices such as No. 3270 have been known, these staplers have the following drawbacks in practical use.

[0005] The inventions (1) and (2) have a structure in which an actuator protrudes from a handle, so that a fingertip may be erroneously pinched when the handle is closed by inserting a staple. In addition, it was impossible to tackle the machine, and it was impossible to create a design freely. In addition, due to the complicated structure, the number of parts was large, the number of assembly steps was large, and the manufacturing cost was high.

In the invention of (3), since the operation pin engages with the inclined edge and descends along the inclined edge, the operation is not performed smoothly due to frictional resistance between the two. In addition, since the regulating piece and the cam member are connected to each other, the staple base and the paper receiving frame are not released, so that it is difficult to remove wasteful staples in the event of a staple jam. In addition, a stapler could not be used instead of a thumbtack or an adhesive, and the use of springs in two vertical and horizontal directions increased the manufacturing cost.

In the invention of the above (4), since the driving piece is pushed down by the bending wall in relation to the bending wall surrounding the upper part of the driving piece, the force in the diagonal direction is converted to the lateral direction. As a result, the push-down action cannot be performed smoothly.Because the driving piece and the regulating piece are connected by pins, the needle housing frame and the base frame cannot be opened, and the unnecessary needle is removed when the needle is jammed. Since it is difficult and the wall cannot be tacked, a stapler cannot be used instead of a pushpin or an adhesive. Moreover, since each spring is used in two vertical and horizontal directions, the manufacturing cost is low. Not only is it expensive, but the quality of the spring is not always uniform, so if the vertical spring attached to the needle receiving piece is too strong, the binding needle will not bend into a horizontal shape, but will have a normal arc shape. You will be bent.

In order to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional stapler, the same applicant has already applied for the inventions of Japanese Patent Application No. 6-65394 and Japanese Patent Application No. 6-337019. However, a drawback of these inventions is that the number of parts is relatively large, so that it takes time and labor for assembling and the cost is high.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to eliminate the above drawbacks of the prior inventions and to provide a stapler having a more rational structure.
