An electric carpet stapler comprises a trigger and switch assembly that has an actuation caused by a change of state of a sensor, which causes the sensor to send a signal to a control circuit to begin a process to supply power to a winding. The trigger and switch assembly includes a trigger that moves in a trigger actuation direction to move a sensor actuator in a sensor actuation direction, causing a change of state in the sensor, which causes the control circuit to begin the process to supply power to the winding. The trigger and switch assembly may also include a toggle. At the actuation of the trigger and switch assembly, the toggle creates a mechanical instability, and a toggle signal to the user, which may be produced mechanically.
An electric carpet stapler comprising:
An electric carpet stapler including a trigger, an electronic sensor, a control circuit, and a winding, wherein when the trigger is moved, the electronic sensor has an electronic change in state causing a signal on a conductor that causes the control circuit to supply power to the winding.
An electric carpet stapler including a trigger, a photo sensor including a light emitter and a light sensor, and a slider that is moved by the trigger to permit or prevent light from passing from the light emitter to the light sensor.
An electric carpet stapler including a trigger, a toggle mechanically coupled to the trigger, an electronic sensor, a control circuit, and a winding, wherein when the trigger is moved to a trigger point of actuation, the electronic sensor has an electronic change in state to cause the control circuit to supply power to the winding, and the trigger and the toggle are in mechanical instability.
An electric carpet stapler including a trigger, an electronic sensor coupled to detect a motion of the trigger, a control circuit configured to begin a process to supply power to a winding when the electronic sensor detects the motion of the trigger, and a winding, wherein the electric carpet stapler provides haptic feedback in response to the trigger when the electric carpet stapler is not connected to power.
