STAPLING MEANS Filed Sept. 27, 1926 Patented Get. l5, 1929 UlTED STATES JOI-IN B. GROFOOT, F ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, ILLINOIS STAPLNG MEANS Application filed. September 27, 1926. Serial No. 13'?,885.
lily invention relates to stapling means, its object being to provide improved stapling means having tines so formed that they vvill assume a position or" great holding povver When driven into an adaptable medium.
Another object ot my invention is to provide stapling means of this character which may be produced in the -l'orm of a staple strip comprising individual staple units held together upon or by a suitable mounting construction.
@ther objects will appear hereinafter.
The invention consists in the Combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.
The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings torming a part ot this specification, and in which,
Fig. l represents a top plan View ot a series ot independent staplel units as they appear when secured in place upon a metallic mounting strip;
Fig. 2 represents a side elevation of the parts shown in F ig. l;
Fig. 3 is a cross section taken on the line 3 3 ot Fig. 2; and,
is a perspective view of a metallic mounting strip.
ln the drawings l have illustrated a mode olf assembling independent staple bodies which may have the extremities of their tines bent either .inwardly or outwardly. Under this mode ot asseml'ily, l provide a metallic mounting strip 2T having tianges 27, and the Vseries oi independent staple bodies 28 are held in place by means ot a Wire clement 29 arranged across the staple bodies so that its opposite extremities 30 may be bent down- 49 Wardly and inwardly upon the strip 27 as best shown in l? 2. Preferably and as shown, the Wire element 29 is made with intermediate bows 3l so as to be endowed With sutlicient resilient action to maintain the over bent extremities 30 in place. By making the staple bodies as independent units and by detachably mounting them upon strips, in the manner illustrated, it Will be evident that the staple bodies, when it is desired to effect 50 stapline operations by hand, may be removed trom the mounting strip as needed. Furthermore, the insertion ot the stapling bodies in certain kinds of stapling machines is greatly facilitated through the employment ot these assemblies.
While I have illustrated and described the preferred torni oi construction tor carrying my invention into ei'lect, this is capable of variation and modification Without departin g from the spirit of the invention. I, there- G0 tore, do not Wish to be limited to the precise details et construction set forth, but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come Within the scope of the appended claims. 5
Having described my invention, What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
l. A staple assemblage comprising a series ot individual staples aligned upon a mounting strip, and means to clamp said series of staples upon said mounting strip, said means consisting of a Wire having means to engage the ends oit the mounting strip and provide-d with a plurality ot transverse convolutions whereby endwise resiliency is imparted to said Wire to elect a secure retention of the staples on the mounting strip.
2. A staple assemblage including a single metal mounting strip having depending` flanges joined by an integral Web, a series of independent staples each provided with a body portion registering in continuous contact with said integral Web, said staples being S5 held to said mounting` strip by a resilient member consisting ot a Wire having a plurality ot 'transverse convolutions, said Wire being applied to the ends ot said mounting strip, the staples having depending tines contacting with said depending flanges.
3. A staple assemblage including a single metal mounting strip having depending tlanges joined by au integral web, a series ot independent staples each provided With a body portion registering in continuous contact Wit-h said integral web, and means for holding said staples in place on said strip comprising a Wire connected to the ends of the mounting strip and having a plurality ot lo Z1 A f 1,732,001
