- Reference numeral 24 designates a staple driving hammer provided on the forward extremity of the staple driving lever, 25 a coil spring permanently upwardly urging the staple guide case and 26 an omega-shaped restricting plate for performing the positional restriction of the staple guide case so as to prevent the rightward and leftward rocking movements of the staple guide case and maintain the distance between the forward extremity of the staple guide case and the staple clinching anvil 8 constant.
- a staple magazine (Not shown) which contains the U-shaped staples(S) on the front inner portion thereof and locates a staple pushing member 27 to push out the staples.
- Reference numeral 28 designates a coil spring for giving a resilient pushing force to the staple pushing member and is supported around a supporting rod 29.
- An operating knob 30 is provided on the rear leg 7 of the base mount and causes the staple magazine to project forwardly by minutely rotating a rotary lever due to the forward movement.
- a fitting plate 35 to which an L-shaped fitting plate 34 is secured, is fixedly mounted on the interior side of the front leg 6 by screws 66.
- On the upper portion of the switching fitting plate 34 is fixedly mounted a microswitch 36, and the switch 36 has its switch button 40 pushed by a pushing tongue piece 39, which in turn is pushed by a pushing piece 38 rotated by a pushing projection piece 37 provided on the lower end of the switch lever 9 described previously, thus the switch being placed in the ON position.
- Reference numeral 41 is a lever for turning the microswitch 36 to the OFF position by rotating forwardly a trigger piece 42 of the pushing piece 38 when actuating the stapler, namely, at the instantaneous lowering of the staple driving lever.
- Reference numeral 43 designates a pair of arms for supporting the pushing piece, provided on the horizontal end portion of the L-shaped switch fitting plate 34.
- the staple clinching anvil 8 comprises a disclike flat anvil portion 44, a small diameter shaft portion 45 centrally provided on the underside surface of the flat anvil portion 44 and an extension 47 of a rotary operating lever 46 integrally formed with the shaft portion 45, and on the upper surface of the flat anvil portion 44, a pair of clinching grooves 48 for inwardly clinching the staples and another pair of clinching grooves 49 for outwardly clinching the staples and disposed while maintaining the angle of
- a projection 50 for stopping a rotation of the flat anvil portion.
- a positioning plate 51 On the other hand, on a positioning plate 51 are formed a through hole 52 rotatably inserting the small diameter shaft portion 45 described above therethrough and an arcuate slot 53 loosely fitted a projection 50 therein and can be rotated the rotation of the staple clinching anvil 8 in a predetermined amount, namely, in this case, can be rotated by 90 in such a relation that the clinching grooves 48, 49 intersect perpendicularly, and on respective comer portions are formed through holes 56 for fixing the positioning plate 51 to four screw holes 54 provided on the base mount 5 by screws 55.
- a U-shaped knotch 57 is centrally formed in the front portion of the base mount 5.
- the lever 46 is rotatable and angle 0 of greater than 90 about the axis of the anvil 44 between both front right and left legs 6, 6.
- the shaft 45 of the staple clinching anvil 8 rotatably extends through the through hole 52 of the positioning plate 51 and a through hole portion 58 provided at an end of the lever 46 is inserted into and fixed on the fixedly mounted portion 47 is inserted in turn the small diameter shaft portion 45 into the notch portion 57 and is then mounted on the base mount 5 by screwing down the screws 55 after the through holes 56 of the positioning plate 51 are made to coincide with the screw holes 54.
- the staple clinching anvil 8 is rotated according to the rotation of the lever 46 caused by an engaging coil spring 59 stretched between the lever 46 and the base mount 5 and is intended to rotate to the position such that the lever makes in contact with either 6 or 6' of the base mount 5 therewith, but the projection 50 provided on the underside surface of the flat anvil portion 44 of the staple clinching anvil can be moved in only the lengthy range of the arcuate slot 53.
- Reference numeral 60 is a cut bent piece provided on the base mount side for holding one end of the coil spring 59 and 61 is a cut bent piece provided on the lever 46 side. These pieces 60 and 61 are arranged so as to align with each other on the center line of the base mount 5 with the center of rotation of the shaft portion 45 of the anvil 8 interposed therebetween.
- the rotary operating lever is rotated overcoming against the resiliency of the coil spring 59 in either right or left direction by holding a knob 63 projected outwardly from a notched groove 62 of the casing 1 from the said condition and is directed to the opposite leg side, namely, to the leg 6' side if the lever 46 is located heretofore on the leg 6 side and to the leg 6 side if it is located heretofore on the leg 6 side, whereby the staple clinching anvil 8 integrally formed with the lever 46 is rotated by 90 and the clinching grooves 49 for clinching the staples outwardly are aligned in the same direction as the hammer 24, thus the staple driven piercing into the sheets of paper P by the hammer 24 being clinched outwardly.
- the stapler apparatus is simple and rigid in construction and also extremely simple in assembly and ad justment.
- the small diameter shaft portion of the staple clinching anvil is tightly inserted into the through hole of the positioning plate so that the staple clinching grooves can be confronted with the hammer with great accuracy without causing any dislocation, and the rotary operating lever to rotate the staple clinching anvil is biased by the spring so that the staple clinching anvil can be held without causing any fluctuation. Since the lever is drawn by the resiliency of the spring when alternatively changing the clinching grooves, the motion of the lever can be easily performed.
- the rotary operating lever may be operated on a remote portion from the staple driving outlet by modifying it in a suitable length, safety in operation can be maintained and it never causes a disadvantage such that the microswitch is actuated by turning over the switch lever of the microswitch even if moved by any mis-operation.
