Abstract
There is provided a cartridge to be mounted on a stapler, and a stapler. The cartridge includes: a cartridge main body configured to accommodate a staple; a lever attached to the cartridge main body to be displaceable with respect to the cartridge main body; and a fixing portion for fixing the cartridge to the stapler when the cartridge is loaded on the stapler. The fixing portion is located at a first position in a fixed state where the cartridge is fixed to the stapler, and is located at a second position in a released state where the fixed state is released. The lever has a moving portion that moves the fixing portion to the second position when the lever is displaced in a first direction and a second direction with respect to the cartridge main body.

A cartridge to be mounted on a stapler, comprising:
- a cartridge main body configured to accommodate a staple;
- a lever attached to the cartridge main body to be displaceable with respect to the cartridge main body;
- and
- a fixing portion for fixing the cartridge to the stapler when the cartridge is loaded on the stapler, wherein
- the fixing portion is located at a first position in a fixed state where the cartridge is fixed to the stapler, and is located at a second position in a released state where the fixed state is released,
- the lever has a moving portion that moves the fixing portion to the second position when the lever is displaced in a first direction or a second direction with respect to the cartridge main body,
- the fixing portion has a fixing shaft that protrudes outward from the moving portion,
- the fixing shaft abuts against the moving portion until the fixing shaft is displaced from the first position to the second position,
- the moving portion includes a through hole that has an inclined surface inclined obliquely in an upper-lower direction and a corner portion that supports the fixing shaft at the first position, and
- the fixing shaft is inserted in the through hole.
A stapler comprising:
- a main body including a loading portion in which a cartridge is loaded and a fixing portion that fixes the cartridge loaded in the loading portion into the loading portion;
- and
- a lever attached to the main body to be displaceable with respect to the main body, wherein
- the fixing portion has a protruding portion that is located at a first position in a fixed state where the cartridge is fixed to the loading portion and is located at a second position in a released state where the fixed state of the cartridge is released,
- the lever has a moving portion that moves the protruding portion from the first position to the second position when the lever is displaced in a first direction or a second direction different from the first direction with respect to the main body,
- the fixing portion has a fixing shaft that protrudes outward from the moving portion,
- the fixing shaft abuts against the moving portion until the fixing shaft is displaced from the first position to the second position,
- the moving portion includes a through hole that has an inclined surface inclined obliquely in an upper-lower direction and a corner portion that supports the fixing shaft at the first position, and
