Abstract
An electromotive stapler according is provided with a paper holder, which is linked with a striking block, to press the neighborhood of the place where the staple is driven, whereby binding of many sheets of paper is possible without consuming much power of the motor, the pressing force of the paper holder being obtained by motion of push rod to press the paper holder, and the force of push rod necessary therefor being obtained by a coil spring compressed by the motion of the striking block.
Claims9
An electromotive stapler comprising:
- an electric motor,
- a control circuit to drive the electric motor,
- a series of gears driven by the motor,
- a driving gear driven by the series of gears and having a boss on a side face thereof,
- a coupling rod having a slide slot through which said boss is inserted,
- a striking block coupled with the coupling rod moving reciprocally by rotation of the electric motor to strike a staple into a plurality of papers,
- a paper holder for holding the plurality of papers while the staple is struck into the plurality of papers, and
- a push rod linked with the striking block to press down said paper holder, wherein the push rod presses down in direct contact with said paper holder when the striking block is below a certain point and said push rod is separated from said paper holder when said striking block is not below said certain point.
