=Referr'iig to the draw-ings l have indieated at EB a 'Staple f'agie; blefeabl'y f 'Sheet metal, fore'd retaflarchanel shape 'and with intun'ed longitudinal age's H, afs' indi'ated in Fig. 6 and Fig. 9; so as' to slid'ably hold a sta'fk of attached stables S and imsitivelir eonne said stack again-'st lat'e'a-l ard uiiward displacement.
Referring to F'S. 1 and 9, it Will be Seen 'that the forward end of the 'stable magazine Hi is provide'd vith an 'pturned lip il?, for a purpose to be later eiplained, and that the side W'alls 'i3 of staple vmagazine l@ 'eiite'ii'd beyond lip 'I2 a diss- 'tanee suostant-irall'y e'orresponding t'o the tinck'- iie'ss 'of a staple; While the foremost 'ends o ilanges il,` are flsh .With the 'outside 'Slfae bf lip i2.
suitably attached to 'the forward end oi staple 'magazine m is 'a u-shaped sheath nl (detailed in Fig. 7) vWhich provides with the side vi'lallsY f3 and lip r`I2 of n'laga'zine 'lil a staplev chute or PIIO'Q/ T;
Assoei'ated with staple magazine Hl is a staple driving arm f generally denoted l5, preferably n'aele lof spring ste-el and preferably formed 'at its forward end as shown in Fig. y8. The thickness of arm l5 is considerably 'greater than the thick@ ness oi a rstaple and hence the staple 'driving end 'of said arm is reduced in thickness as at I6 to dimensions which permit its free `entry into the vstap'rle receiving throat T, Vslie'a't'h lli being provided ivit-'h extended portions or stop shoulders il 'of -sueh interior Width as to for1n a l.guide .gior the staple driving end of arm l5. y
The rear 'end of arrn vPi is provided with the aruate portion A t' cover vthe rear' end or part of staple magazine iii and has 'its lower eem- Ilvlel'llelflt o`r brafn'h L fi'vtally or A'Irioi'ffabl :atta'ehed to 'the under side YVof s'aid staple rnfagaz'ine by rivet 18 fifn suelo manner as fto {fieri-nit Staple arm I5 to iSv/'ing' 'at right angles to Vistaole magazine (See Fig. '4), alter tl'lfstafirl ''ving 'e'Ild i6 of said arn is IfL-ised from lits nrfral posi'- tih Within Sad Staple 'magazine an@ vlifted Cl'ei ofthe sides there-of. Sl'idable l'n'g'tdfnally Within 'staple f ii@ is a staple DUS-her T9 (see Fig. v5)-, 3p' yforned froi "sheet metal. Pusher I9 is sli'dably mounted 'upon V'pusher rod 20. It slides feel'y within stable magazine 'l 0, 'and lis vfpre-.vented from upward 'disengagement therefrom 'by the in'- turned flanges Il of said tube.
Monted between the lpu'she'r an'd "the fixed end -plate'or stop A'22 upon `pusher rod 2i! is a normally expanded:helicoidalfisherspring 21 4for'normally urging. the slidablyguidedliiusherforwardly., that is, towards throat T. End .blaite -22 -s rigidly ttt-- tached to the rear end of rod 20 and as shown in Fig. 6, is substantially of T shape so as to removably engage within and be retained by notches 23 (see Fig. 4) in the top portions of the side Walls I3 of magazine ID. When arm I5 is in its normal position for driving staples (see Fig. 1) said arm prevents end plate 22 from disengaging or unlocking from the notches 23 in staple magazine I0.
Pivotally attached to the under side of staple magazine I by rivet 24 is an offset swingable clincher bar or base 25, provided at its forward end with conventional staple clinching recess means 26 in alinement with the driving end of staple driving arm I5. The opposite end of clincher base 25 is provided with a, detent 2IV (see Fig. 1) which engages a hole 28 (see Fig. 10) in the bottom of staple magazine IIJ for the purpose of holding clincher base 25 in proper alignment with the staple driving end of arm I when the device is used in stapling operations.
In loading my improved stapling device, the forward end of arm I5, that is, its upper complement or reach U is slightly raised from engagement with, namely, removed from the staple magazine I0 and thereafter swung laterally to the position shown in Fig. 4. End plate 22 is then disengaged from notches 23 of staple magazine Ii'l, and the pusher assembly, shown in Fig. 5, is withdrawn rearwardly and out of the magazine. A stack of attached staples S is then slid into the rear end of staple magazine I0 and the pusher assembly is reinsertedV into said magazine behind said stack of staples. End plate 22 is then interlockecl with the walls of the notches 23 of staple magazine Il) and driver arm I5 is swung back and restored in the magazine whereby its forward end is again slidably guided in the throat or staple raceway T.
Should it be desired to use the implement for tacking operations, such as attaching posters to board surfaces, clincher offset base 25 is swung rearwardly to the position shown in Fig. 3 when staples may be driven into wood or the like by striking the driving end of staple driving arm I5 with the heel of the palm of the hand.
It will be seen that my improved stapling device is of compact design so as t0 be readily car-n ried in the pocket, and that its construction permits it to be readily converted from a stapler to a tacker. It will further be seen that my fastener-applying implement is positive and reliable in action accurately guides the feed of the staples, and is easy to reload, thus meeting all the requirements for a portable stapling tool of high utilitarian value. Y
By the present arrangement the resilient staple driving arm I5 is normally in a raised position as indicated in Fig. l with the blade I6 thereof just slightly above guide lip or race block I2 to permit reception of the foremost staple of the stack S into the throat or raceway T due to the action of the slidable pusher or follower I9 which is prevented from removal from the forward end of rod 2@ by the upset end E (Fig. 5).
As previously stated, base 25 pivots on the fixed fulcrum pin 24 fastened to the bottom wall of the magazine. Specifically however this base is also detachably locked to the base due tothe action of struck out detent 21 snapping into aperture or opening 28.
With the driving blade I6 slidably guided in sheath I4, the latter is prevented from rotation relative to the magazine although the blade I6 may be downwardly displaced to eject the foremostl staple from the throat upon the application of a downwardly directed pressure on the biased or upper component U of the one piece operating arm I5 which is normally held in a raised position by the arcuate or externally convex and internally concaved bridge portion A, integrally merged with the upper and lower components or reaches U and L which closely straddle the open rear end of the magazine.
