The lower wall 23 of this slide is provided with downwardly pressed lugs 24 projecting into the longitudinal slot ll between the flanges lfiand are of a width substantially the width. of this slot so as to be guided by the edges of the flanges l6 and retain the slide centrally within the housing, l2. The side walls 22 are spaced from the side Walls 32 of the housing as shown in Fig. 9 to provide spaces for passage of the prongs of the staples and-theside walls of the staple feeding follower 36. Mounted at the forward end of this staple slide 20; F g. 8, and spaced a'short distance from the end of the slide is an upright front plate 25 forming with the front end wall of the slide a guideway 26 for the staples to be driven and also a guide for the staple driver 21. This front plate 25"ex-tends between the side walls 28 of a front plate cover 29, these side walls being connected by an integral front wall 38. This front plate cover 28 is mounted on a substantially U-shaped support 3! which has upright side walls 82 securedto the-inner sides of the side walls 28 by soldering or welding, and the front plate 25 is secured tothe front edges of these side walls and may also be secured to the side walls 28 of the cover by soldering or welding. The lower wall- 33 of this U-shape support 3! may have notches 35 (Figs, '7 and 10) to form clearance for theprongs of the staple should these prongs be bent slightly backward and thus permit passage of the staple under these conditions without catch 40.
clogging the machine. The support 3! may be secured to the slide 2o by any suitable means, but preferably by welding as indicated at 35.
Mounted to slide on the staple slide or guide 29 is a follower 35 of substantially inverted U-shape having side walls 31 extending downwardly on the outer sides of the side walls 22 of the slide with the connecting top wall 38 resting on the top edges of the side walls 22. This top wall is depressed as indicated at 89 in Figs. 8 and 1'7 to form a groove or recess to receive a follower At the forward end of this depressed portion 39 the follower is provided with an opening 4| through which the catch extends under the forward portion of the top wall 38, and the front end of this catch is bent upwardly as shown at 42 and extends through an opening 43 (Figs. 8 and 16) in the top wall 38 of the follower to form a stop catch to engage a stop shoulder 44 formed in the underside of the top wall i5 of the housing l2. This shoulder may be formed by pressing up a portion of this top wall as indicated at 45 (Figs. 2 and 8). As will be seen in Fig. 8 engagement of the lug 42 of the catch with the shoulder 44 will limit outward movement of the slide 20 because on the top edges of the side walls 22 of this slide are p ovided shoulders 46 which engage the rear end of the follower 36. At the rear end of the catch 40 it is bent downwardly as shown at 41, and this wall is forked so that the wall extends downwardly on opposite sides of the follower rod 48. On this rod is a light coil spring 49 engaging this downwardly extending wall 41 and tends to push the follower 36 forwardly to feed forwardly the staple strips and bring the individual staples at the forward end ofthis strip to the driving position under the driver 21 and over the guideway 26. At'its rear end this follower rod 48 is secured to inwardly and transversely extending Walls 50 integral with and forming extensions of the side walls 13 of the slide housing l2 as shown in Figs. 20, 21 and 22, the end of the rod being headed over as indicated at 5|.
During normal operation the slide 28 carrying and guiding the staple strip 2| lies within slide housing l2 as shown in Fig, 2 with the staple guideway 26 under and in alignment with the staple driver 21, and this slide is secured in this position by a pivoted slide release lever 52 forming a catch. This lever is pivoted by means of a cross pin 53 in two upstanding lugs 54 struck up from and integral with the Walls of the slide housing i2'as shown in Fig. 34. The release lever 52 is stamped and formed from heavy sheet metal of suitable gauge, and has two side members 55 connected by an inverted U-shaped cross piece 58 which projects through an opening in the top wall or cover 5 of the body to form a thumb piece to operate the release lever 52. The rear ends of these side walls 55 normally seat in notches 51 formed in the top edges of the side walls 22 of the slide 20 to retain the slide within the housing as shown in Fig. 2, this lever being held in this position by a spring 58 seated at one end on projections 59 of the side Walls 55 as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The other end of this spring 58 embraces lugs on the rear end portion of a driving lever B l This lever BI is also made of heavy sheet metal of a substantially inverted U-shape in cross section, the side walls E32 of which are bent inwardly toward each other and then side by side to provide the lugs 88 and a seat for the end of the spring 58. Thelever is pivoted on the cross pin 63 extending through the side Walls 62 and the er 21. It is mounted in an opening 93 in the top wall of the base the walls of the opposite sides of this opening being depressed to form supporting lugs 94 on which the anvil rests, the opposite sides of the anvil being bent downwardly to form flanges 95 resting on these lugs 94. The top surface of the anvil is guided against the undersides of the top wall of the base at the opposite sides of the opening 93 as shown in Figs. 28, 29 and 31. A sheet metal spring 96 (Figs. 29, 32 and 33) is notched from its opposite ends as shown at 9! leaving the central portion 98. The forked portions on the opposite sides of this portion 98 are curved upwardly as shown at 99. The free ends of forked portions 99 rest on top of the lugs 99 as shown in Figs. 29 and 39 and the curved tops of these forks 99 engage against the underside of the anvil 88. A selecting pin I99 is placed in the notches 91 extending transversely of the central portion 98 and is supported by this central portion as shown in Figs. 29 and 30 while its opposite free ends are located between the lugs 94 as shown in Figs. 27 and 29. The edges of the flanges 95 of the anvil are provided with spaced notches IM to receive the pin I99 to hold this anvil in the two positions, one when the notches 99' of the anvil are in alignment with the driver and the other when the notches 9| and 92 are in alignment with the driver. Thus the anvil can be slid between the two positions and will be retained therein by the pin I99. To facilitate shifting of the anvil it may be scored or roughened as indicated at I92 in its upper surface to give a suitable finger grip. To enclose the lower portion of the anvil to protect it and also to give a rubber foot for the base of the machine, a rubber block I93 is shaped at its upper side to fit within the front end of the base 89 and it is recessed at its upper side as indicated at I 94 to enclose the supporting devices for the anvil. To retain this rubber foot in place integral lugs I95 are bent downwardly from thetop wall of the base, these being provided when the opening 93 is made in this wall, and they may be forced into the rubber block to hold it in position.
The whole body I is removably secured to the base 89 so that it may be readily attached or detached. For this purpose the rear end portion of the top wall of the base is cut, a pair of laterally spaced ears I96 (Figs. 1 and 14) are bent upwardly therefrom and a transverse pivot pin I91 is mounted therein. Cooperating with this pin to secure 'the body to the base is a reenforcing channel I98 (Figs. 2, 4, 14 and 24 to 26.) This is a stamping of suitable gauge metal of substantially inverted U-shape having a top wall I99 and the side walls II9 being spot welded to downwardly extending ears II9a on side walls 2 and 3 of the body (Figs. 11 and 14) as shown at IIOb. The side walls I ID are provided with an L-shaped or bayonet slot III to receive the pin I91, and at the inner end of this slot is a notch I I2 into which the pin I9'I may seat asshown in Figs. 2 and 4. A body lift spring I I3 is secured to the underside of the top wall of the base by any suitable means, such as a screw'or rivet I I4, and at its free end is cut to form fingers I I5 to engage the under edges of the Walls III] of the reenforcing channel I98 and hold the body upwardly so that the pin I9'I- is seated in the notches H2 and to prevent the body from becoming accidentally detached from the base. These fingers also hold the front end of the body I elevated above the anvil 88 as shown in Figs. 1 and 2 so that the ar,- ticles to be stapled may be inserted. The portion of the spring I I3 between the fingers I I5 is made substantially T-shaped as shown at I I6 (Fig. 27) and is seated in a similarly shaped recess II! in a rubber foot IIB shaped on its upper wall to fit in the rear end portion of the base 89. The fingers I I5 seat in a recess on'a top wall of this rubber foot as shown in Fig. 14 and thus with the portion II6 retain the rubber foot in position. If it is desired to remove the body I from the base all that is necessary is to press downwardly on the rear end portion of the body to depress the side walls IIO away from the pin I91, and then by drawing the body forwardly this pin can be passed out through the slots III removing the body from the base. To mount the body on the base a reverse operation is all that is necessary.
It will thus be seen that this staple driving machine is made almost entirely of press work stamped from suitable gauge metal and formed to shape, and then is assembled principally by spot welding. It is also of simple construction, being composed of relatively few parts, and the fact that it is made of stampings makes it of light weight and strong. To refill with a new strip of staples all that is necessary is to release the lever 52 when the staple guide or slide 29 will be automatically projected a short distance and may be then drawn to the full extended position of Figs. '7 and 8 to permit a new strip of staples 2| to be placed on top of the slide. Then the slide may be pushed back into its normal position of Fig. 2 where it will be retained by the lever 52.
