Abstract
An opening portion (104) is formed at a rear face of a staple cartridge (103), a slide door (106) is provided at the opening portion (104), and the slide door (106) is maintained at a closing position by a tension coil spring (107). When the slide door (106) is pushed down, also a pressing plate (109) is moved down by being pushed by the slide door, the opening portion (104) is opened and a staple pack (121) can be inserted into the cartridge. A staple can be refilled to an electric stapler (101) in a state of mounting the staple cartridge (103), and time and labor of attaching and detaching the staple cartridge is dispensed with.
