Abstract
To provide a stapler in which a staple leg of a nonmetal staple can be reliably bent with a small number of components and a simple configuration so as to reduce a cost. A stapler includes a penetration mechanism and a bending mechanism. Hole parts are provided in a pair of cutting blades of the penetration mechanism. The bending mechanism includes first and second bending members which protrude from the hole parts toward between the pair of cutting blades to bend a pair of staple legs, guide surfaces which guide the first and second bending members, and a slide member which drives the first and second bending members. The first and second bending members are provided between the guide surfaces and the slide member.
Claims8
A stapler comprising:
- a penetration mechanism that is mounted with a pair of cutting blades which allow a pair of staple legs of a nonmetal staple to penetrate a binding object;
- and
- a bending mechanism that bends the pair of staple legs which penetrate the binding object, along the binding object,
- wherein the pair of cutting blades have hole parts or notched parts in penetration parts which penetrate the binding object,
- the bending mechanism includes:
- a pair of bending members which move along a bending direction in which the pair of staple legs bend inward and which protrude from the hole parts or the notched parts toward between the pair of cutting blades so as to bend the pair of staple legs;
- guide surfaces which guide the pair of bending members in the bending direction;
- and a driving member which drives the pair of bending members, and
- the pair of bending members are provided between the guide surfaces and the driving member.
