Electric stapler with pencil sharpener

Abstract

An electric pencil sharpener is accommodated in a front part of a lower housing. An electric stapler is accommodated in an upper housing including a shared surface that is used as a top face of the lower housing, as its bottom face. A power transformer for supplying DC power to the electric stapler is arranged in a rear part of the lower housing. The shared surface also serves as a paper table used for guiding a bundle of paper into the electric stapler. A caulking plate for bending both legs of a staple that is made to penetrate through the bundle of paper by a hammer is provided on the shared surface. Since the electric stapler is arranged in an upper part and the electric pencil sharpener is arranged in a lower part, it is possible to provide an electric stapler with pencil sharpener in which cutting waste generated by sharpening a pencil does not affect the stapling operation and good stability is achieved because of a lowered weight balance and which requires only a small installation area on a desk.
